The Spears of Hadrogar
Plot points/Scenes

The Sixth Spear

The Fifth Spear
Ilgulloth the Devourer, is in the hands of a dire troll that is ravaging the countryside. Too stupid to be useful to Ilgulloth, the troll is being driven mad by the spear's incessant attempts to influence it.
The Fourth Spear
Orog Graurug, an orc that may be familiar to the party, holds Caliburn the Destroyer. It has granted him the power to rule over the orcs of the Wasteland, and taking it from him will be an incredible feat in itself.
The Third Spear

Althalos de Bolbec

Annalore Maehieu

Arite the Seer
Full ArticleThe only non-human regular besides Althalos, Arite the mochilian is content to remain outside the various social circles. She has a more or less permanent room upstairs, from which she offers her services as a fortune teller.
Chaucer
Full ArticleA stout, piggish man, Chaucer is the epitome of the upper-middle class. He is wealthy enough to get away with doing no actual work, and instead prefers to rely on his business connections to do the heavy lifting for him. Though Chaucer is the owner of the Jolly Chestnut, he cares little for the "menial" aspects of the business. His opinion on most matters is to defer to Rose, whom he trusts explicitly.
Doran Fenwick
Full ArticleDespite his rapidly approaching seventieth birthday, Doran's mind is as keen as it was fifty years ago. He began his career intending to map out the entirety of the sestonian region. Unfortunately, his bones are not what they used to be, and his travels have halted indefinitely. He has spent the better part of the last decade in Beyhill, spending what little income he earns drinking at the Jolly.
Frank Montague
