Sem Harestein An appraiser of magical items that works for the [[Alons family]] of French semi-nobility. His job mainly involves low-balling valuable things the family might want to buy, and high-balling things that the family (or their allies) want to sell. Because of this, no one 'in the know' would think of trusting him, but those that are not, are quite often fooled by his appraisals. When approached for [[Relic Hunt]], Sem will immediately assume that Oriann is trying to sell it to the family, and low-ball a price. After some prodding he may decide to give more accurate information.
