As you look upon this gnome, you realize that he is very small for his race only standing in at three and half foot tall. Ariad is taller than the average elf and halfling but not by much. He has rather high cheek-bones and his ears have a small point on the top such that he looks like he might have a cross between a halfling and an elf, which is quite a funny sight to see. Ariad's most noticeable feature is his long reddish brown beard. His beard is so long that it looks as if it could get caught up in his feet if he ever had to run away from danger. His beard is very well kept which is surprising because the rest of his appearance is dirty. His skin has an earthy brown tone that looks as if he has been exposed to the sun for long periods. Ariad's hair is bright blond and he has small beady eyes that is hard to make out but look green in color. His hands are somewhat dirty covered in soil as he has been working on the land. When you look at the palms of his hands they are covered in chalices which confirms his work ethic.
