    One of seven senators who elected Hunon. Wants the party to find his three advisors; Celafir, Tasmandi, and Serendipity.

  • King Baranir
    King of Golothia. Brother to Dornan.
  • Baron of the Ridge
    Responsible for turning a hive of scum and villainy into THE hub of commerce throughout the upper ranges of Sisafir's mountains. He may have accomplished the task with brutality, but the settlement bears his name so....
  • Belch the Goblin
    This enterprising goblin calls every object a sword, however, he does not sell swords. His hobby is jewel crafting using local adra gems. The "necklace" the Baron sent the party after used 6ft of logging chain to adorn the gold plated gemstone.
  • Beneford Ironfist
    Father of Elisef, head of Kaladel's guard. After being ordered by King Kalosis to execute the town's clergy, Beneford asks the party to kill the mad king. He promises to lead the city back to prosperity in the aftermath and pays handsomely for the act of regicide.

    King of the orcs in Barak-lur
  • Lord Bortle the Tortle
    Leader of the autonomous zone, Lord Dolan's Land.

    Father of party member Bartholomew. Senator of Sisafir. Gives the party a mission to find out what the Adamantine Soul had to do with King Kalosis.

    One of the advisors to Alakir. A druid who can transform into a white rabbit. Shamash took some of his magical belongings.
  • Cult Leader
    After the party's first dungeon, they spotted cult members outside. They prepared an ambush while Bartholomew volunteered himself as a distraction. The aasimar joined the Cult of Orcus (somehow? as a ruse?) and dark tattoos appeared on his belly.
  • Darius (and Cleaves)
    This stranger meets Jorgen, Qalirin, and Shamash in the second scene of the first session. He offers them a way out of jail if they will gather three advisors for Senator Alakir.
  • Darmok
    We have heard whispers of a wizard who lives in castle in the sky. He was interested in the God Dust we found in @[Garrenbridge](settlement:0bc5de5d-9406-47d7-9ada-cfd9115b333e).
  • Doona Tabaxi Wizard
    The party entrusts one of the orbs of Orcus to Doona. She seems powerful enough to defend it from cultists. Perhaps she can learn more about it and inform the party.
  • King Dornan
    The king of the dwarves, brother of king Baranir. His kingdom is named after the current king.
  • Elisef Ironfist
    The party finds a saddled pony on the Bricks with a HELP sign. The faithful steed leads the party down a path where they find Elisef pinned under a heavy iron gate. They venture into the dungeon to help Elisef find his lost friend Glen and whatever treasures may lie within.

    One of a triumvirate of elves who govern Lelnathemar.

    Is killed in sight of the party during the first session. Deceased king of Delafir, north of the river.
  • Io Father of Dragonkind
    In the primordial beginnings of existence, the first deity chose to take the form of a dragon.
  • Jareff Whitehorse
    Current military commander of Mid-World. There is a notion that this man is HUGE.
  • John the Dashing
    This persona was always, always dressed in a royal blue robe, hence the earned nickname. He was first seen leaving the fires on the cliffs of Baron Ridge and was revealed to be the Doppelganger after transforming into a minotaur during Qalirin's pursuit. Don Loxo learned the scent while at the Baron's Fort, but learned the name from Belch- leading to the realization that the Doppelganger could be found at the Baron's Fort.
  • Kalder the Furious
    Warlord of Cindervale
  • Former King Kalosis
    King of Sisafir. A senate of wealthy nobles advise the king, one of which is Bartholomew's father. Has a mysterious connection to the Adamantine Soul. Killed by the party at the direction of Elisef's father Beneford after Kalosis ordered the city's clergy to be executed.
  • Krosis Goldenblood
    Brother to Alakir
  • (alleged) Lich
    In the party's first dungeon, this master of undead nearly slew a few players. On the second attempt, the party defeated him and found some mysterious items in his possession including a black orb.
  • Mora of Garrenbridge
    Daughter of King Kalosis, leader of Garrenbridge. Big hammer.
  • Admiral Nelson
    Co-conspirator with the Doppelganger. Nelson's plan was to destabilize the town's industries then buy them up cheaply using the Baron's wealth.

    One of a triumvirate of elves who govern Lelnathemar.

    Original party member. Bahamut-worshipping healer with a dark past. After dying he was given a second life by Tiamat. Driven by revenge, he left the party to confront his transgressor.
  • Steen, owner of Baron Ridge Mine
    After defeating a Bulette who made its den in the middle of Steen's mine, the players were surrounded by guards. Steen and a member of the hunter's guild verified one by one that the players were not in fact the Doppelganger, then he asked for their help identifying the monster.

    Mother of chromatic dragons, the ambitious embodiment of greed.
  • Wapiti
