The People of Note section chronicles the lives and legacies of those who shape the world of Wardenfall, not only the mighty rulers and infamous villains, but also the quiet voices that echo in alleys, marketplaces, and roadside taverns. From warlords who command entire legions to street poets who trade songs for shelter, every soul has a story, and each encounter carries the weight of potential. Some names will be etched in history through fire and blood, others only remembered in a single, fleeting moment by those who crossed their path.
Here, you’ll find entries on the queens who stir empires to war, the archmages whose whispers fracture time, and the mercenary captains who ride the wind between kingdoms. But woven beside them are the blacksmiths who repaired a hero’s blade, the innkeepers who offered sanctuary on a storm-lit night, or the pickpocket who vanished after returning a stolen trinket with a note. These are not mere background figures, they are the breath of Wardenfall, the heartbeat of cities and towns that ground the fantastical in the real.
As the Heroes for Hire and the Fated travel the lands, they will meet people whose lives intertwine with their own, sometimes briefly, sometimes forever. Each name added to this section is a thread in the growing tapestry of their journey. The more they see, speak, and connect, the fuller this record becomes. For in Wardenfall, greatness is not only measured by power, but by presence and even the smallest voice can leave a lasting echo.
