(Male Human, Vampire) Centuries old, graceful and beautiful with a wicked grin and an enticing demeanor. You know, vampire-like. Lord Diovax dwells within an ancient castle atop a hill in Spatera. He has gargoyle guards and vixen vampire spawn to do his bidding, and an evil mist that permeates the surrounding land, bringing scarecrows to life, swarms of bats and howling wolves. He convinced the heroes to bring him the leader of the Namara Thieves Guild in exchange for some of the magical items Lord Diovax has stored away in his castle.

SH 670, November 13th, 14th: After receiving Hiruvorn, Diovax has given both Halcyon and Poppy the gift of vampirism!

SH 671, January 14th: The adventurers return to Diovax after retaking the Keep in search for information on the Canary Scrolls. Diovax gives it to them, letting them know it is hidden somewhere on Namara. In return for the information, he has asked the group to retrieve a missing vampire spawn of his known as Farlin. He loans an airship to them called the Grey Whistler while the adventurers leave the ElectroZephyr in Diovax' possession.

SH 671, January 25th: After reading an historical text detailing the War of Ascendancy, the adventurers learn the Diovax was once a great admiral in the Nack Fleet who was instrumental in defeating Locqwerthalyn at the Battle of Locq. His full name is Luciditus Diovax.

SH 671, January 17th: After the death of Renauld Swift, Florin was summoned by Lura Stonethrow to fill the vacancy and assist in advising the Queen from within the Royal Council.

SH 671, February 2nd: Immediately after Queen Myrtle's illness set in, with the assistance of other Royal Council members including Lura and Henra Stonethrow, Brys Nommaksire, and Parck Herring, Florin has begun a smear campaign against the Alfansire Clan, claiming that their divine lineage is fraudulent and therefore openly refuting their legitimacy for the throne.

SH 671, February 28th: Florin is officially put up as a new claimant to the throne of Bandle City, which has starkly divided the city in two parties -- those who still believe in the Alfansire legitimacy and those who wish to see new blood in power.

SH 671, March 16th: In a council meeting with the adventurers who had ousted Renauld Swift and greatly assisted in thwarting off the dragon invasion back on SH 670, November 30th, (read more on Episode 10: “Renauld and the Orb”), Florin and Lura attempted to destroy the adventurers who were clearly against his plans for being installed as the new king and simultaneously attempted to assassinate the heir-apparent Prince Gron Alfansire.

Gron Alfansire
(Male Dwarf) Son of Myrtle Alfansire and heir to the throne of Bandle City, Gron is one of the members of the Royal Council. Of the Alfansire Clan.

SH 671, January 17th: General Florin Berell of the rival city Demacia has come in to replace the late Renauld Swift on the Royal Council, and immediately Gron is feeling the pressure from this overbearing warlord within the council. The general's demeanor seems to undermine the authority that Gron hopes to one day have over the council.

SH 671, January 20th: Gron has grown suspicious of the general and also his own second-cousin Lura Stonethrow, believing that some sort of villainy is underfoot.

SH 671, February 2nd: Grons mother, Queen Myrtle has suddenly fallen ill. Despite her elder age of 365, Gron's recent suspicions leads him to secretly believe that his mother may have been poisoned somehow. He shares this information secretly with his aunt, Margrun Alfansire.

SH 671, February 28th: Lura openly questions the Alfansire Clan's claim to the throne via divine lineage, which immediately puts Gron in an extremely precarious position. The prince immediately begins gathering allies for his cause, but they seem to be rapidly dwindling. Gron begins fearing a coup of sorts and has been keeping extra guards on hand for his own safety.

SH 671, March 16th: The dissent seems to have come to a head when the adventurers who saved the city and ousted Renauld Swift back in November of the previous year arrive, claiming allegiance to the Alfansire clan and clearly express their hatred for the Nack Empire. A battle breaks out in Royal Palace in which Florin and Lura immediately attempt to assassinate Gron, who desperately struggles to defend himself. With the help of his aunt Margrun and the adventurers, his life is saved. Afterward, he vows to fully support the adventurers' cause against the Empire with troops and supposed ships that have been built in secret, if they manage to procure the Skystone which would prove the Alfansire legitimate claim to the throne. (read more on Episode 7: “The Seeds of Dwarven Dissent”)

Gruber
(Male Dwarf) This red-headed and jovial merchant of sorts is the regular contact of the adventurers, and almost always has a job for them. Most jobs he gives are more on the dangerous side, but this is well known.

SH 670, October 20th: He has most recently sent them out to the jungle island of Mastik to search for an allegedly ancient and magical amulet deep within the Tomb of King Raylin.

SH 671, January 25th: After three months, Gruber finally is able to meet with Halcyon and his companions in regards to the amulet of health. Whilst meeting with Prodiga about something involving Lord Diovax, Halcyon revealed himself within the Inn of the Copper Sweep. After an unrelated battle, he moved the meeting to the Inn of the Peaceful Storm and settled on taking the crown of King Raylin as recompense for the lack of the amulet of health. He also gave the adventurers the location of Farlin's apartment.

Henra Stonethrow
(Female Dwarf) Cousin to Gron Alfansire and leader of the Guild of Smithies, Henra is also on the Queen's Royal Council. Of the Stonethrow Clan.

(Male Brass Dragon) A mentor and conversation companion to the once-human Umer.

SH 670, November 18th: Selubrius has sent the adventurers on a mission to locate Jayce in Bandle City.

SH 670, November 27th: Renauld Swift admits that he knows the whereabouts of Jayce during a Royal Council meeting. However, he won't disclose his location to anyone. Later that evening, the Orb of Dragon Command is stolen from him by Lilhani and Naïlo.

SH 670, November 30th: It is revealed by Renauld Swift that he and Jayce are the same person. Renauld is merely an alias of Jayce Borgas that he has been using for over thirty years.

Lura Stonethrow
(Female Dwarf) Lura is the cousin of Gron Alfansire and is the commander of the Maces of Bandle City. She is on the Royal Council. Of the Stonethrow Clan.

SH 671, January 9th: Shortly after Parck Herring was promoted as the official representative of Nack within the Royal Council, he began convincing Lura Stonethrow that her own cousin, Queen Myrtle was lying about their divine lineage, and that it was all a ruse for her clan to keep a tight grip on the throne of Bandle City generation after generation. Feeling betrayed by her own distant kin, she began reaching out to a renowned hero of a rival city, General Florin Berell of Demacia, first as a replacement of the late Renauld Swift but secretly to prop him up as a possible revolutionary -- someone who could possible claim the throne who had no direct ties to the Alfansire clan.

SH 671, February 28th: After bringing in Florin and the sudden illness that kept the Queen to her bedchambers, Lura Stonethrow openly and publicly denounced the Alfansire Clan's divine and royal legitimacy and propped up Florin Berell as the potential savior of Bandle City.

SH 671, March 16th: In a fateful council meeting involving the adventurers who saved the city a few months back, Lura and Florin secretly decided to ambush the Alfansire sympathizers and attempt to slaughter them along with Prince Gron in one fell blow. She was slain after a fierce fight. (now dead). (read more on Episode 7: “The Seeds of Dwarven Dissent”)

Maege Stormrider
(Female Human) Maege is the head librarian in Boar Herpes Academy. Old age has made her hair gray and straggly, her skin wrinkled and dry. But she is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and takes great pleasure in reading to the young children at Boar Herpes. When asked about her rather ponderous last name, she merely states that it's a family name passed down from sky merchants who would traverse stormy skies to bring in products with a high demand.

c. SH 650: She helped Silaqui with her bardic studies for some time.

SH 670, October 30th: It is unclear whether Maege managed to escape Boar Herpes with the children in the library. None of the adventurers have heard from her since.

Her eldest son Gron is the heir to the throne.

SH 671, February 2nd - March 16th: Queen Myrtle has fallen deathly ill, but it comes as little surprise considering her advanced age as a dwarf -- nearly 365 years old! In the month that has followed, she has been bed-ridden in the upper levels of the Royal Palace and her son and heir Prince Gron has struggled to defend the Alfansire Clan's legitimate claim to the throne. It is believed that she might die at any day.

SH 671, March 18th: Just two days after the adventurers leapt into the Throat of Alfan in search of the fabled Skystone, Queen Myrtle died in her bedchambers in the Royal Palace with Prince Gron at her side.

SH 671, March 16th: After a suddenly confrontation involving the same adventurers who ousted Renauld, Parck was slain by none other than Margrun Alfansire while his co-conspirators attempted to assassinate Gron. (now dead). (read more on Episode 7: “The Seeds of Dwarven Dissent”)

Prodiga Skylight
(Female Human) The headmaster of Boar Herpes Academy oddly enough appears to be a girl of roughly twelve years. She is a bold leader who is well versed in the arcane arts. She knows when to fight and when to run, and others trust her judgement. She is usually seen with a counsel that includes Maege Stormrider.

SH 670, October 30th: It is unclear to the adventurers whether or not Prodiga escaped Boar Herpes during the dragon attack. However, if she did, it is likely that she would be somewhere in Namara, planning for what comes next.

SH 671, January 25th: Whilst meeting with Gruber at the Inn of the Copper Sweep over something regarding Lord Diovax, Halcyon came up to her and revealed himself as Halcyon (he was originally in a disguise). At that instant, she tried to kill him with her magical powers, for she was the secret Rogue that was produced as a result of Halcyon's pulling the Rogue card from the Deck of Many Things back on SH 670, November 18th. After a fierce and messy battle, Lats, Lilhani and Halcyon slew Prodiga after tricking her into believing Halcyon had died of his wounds. (now dead)

(Male Human) A semi-powerful mage who once had Lilhani as an apprentice on his solitary mage-tower in Bruya. The she-gnome ended up stealing his recently purchased dragon bladder ship, the ElectroZephyr. He also owns a nymph concubine named Calista. His magical prowess emphasizes specialization in the school of abjuration.

SH 670, November 18th: Lilhani and her companions infiltrated the Radiant Tower on Bruya in attempt to convince Selubrius to allow access on the ElectroZephyr for the vampires in the group. Instead, Selubrius made a deal with them: in exchange for their Dragon Ship-manifested blue dragon eggs and finding Jayce Borgas, he would gift them the ship. He also cast a geas spell on Halcyon to further compel the group to complete their task. Turns out Selubrius is a member of the Dragon Shipwright's Guild who helped create many of their powerful ships. And he is now planning to undermine their nefarious plots in uncertain ways. The adventurers are still not sure whether he is good or bad...

SH 671, January 4th: The adventurers returned to Selubrius' Radiant Tower and retrieved the Orb of Dragon Command from his hidden chamber after they found him nearly dead. They healed him and left in a rush to avoid the Nack Fleet, which undoubtedly arrived at the tower shortly thereafter...

SH 671, February 5th: A month after the fleet caught up with Selubrius, Leucosa and her companions found the old mage in the depths of the Tomb of Locq, and he had been hideously transformed into a copper half-dragon! He seemed to be magically compelled to destroy the adventurers, and the only hint of who might've done this was written in some notes found in the tomb. After a wicked altercation, Leucosa, Lats, and Freia destroyed the mad wizard. (now dead) (read more on Episode 12: “The Tomb of Locq”)

SH 671, February 6th: Shortly after his death, Lilhani discovers that the arcane spirit of Selubrius somehow lives on, and he new occasionally gives advice to her directly through telepathic communication. However, she sometimes struggles to hear his voice, and must expend a substantial amount of arcane energy to simply understand what he's saying in her mind.

SH 671, March 16th: Despite being outnumbered in a foreign land, Serris bravely announced his allegience and loyalty to the Alfansire Clan and called General Florin Berell a puppet would-be king in service to the Empire of Nack.

SH 671, February 28th: Vlaya gives birth to a son, the heir to the throne of the Svar-tu after almost losing the baby in childbirth. With the medical assistance of the gnome Lats Boldengrin the child was saved.

<font face="helvetica" color="mediumorchid">(The following information is hidden from everyone except Umer Deszeld.) <font face="helvetica" color="mediumorchid">(Hidden Information on Vlaya Skyflower) SH 671, January 4th: Vlaya discovered that her own father, King Algondas Skyflower poisoned and killed her husband Elondar Cloudspell, knowing that his dying before Vlaya's child was born would sever the succession of House Cloudspell to the royal lineage and keep the throne secure in the hands of House Skyflower. In response, Vlaya called upon Barratu, the God of Pain to drag her father into the Temple of Anguish to atone for his crime and be cleansed by pain. King Algondas' disappearance led to Vlaya's own succession to the throne, and she became the new Queen of the Svar-tu.

SH 671, March 7th: In a private conversation, Umer Deszeld deftly persuaded the queen to divulge the fact that Algondas killed Elondar Cloudspell after he informed her of Algondas' death in the Temple of Anguish. Queen Vlaya swore Umer to secrecy, since this information would likely plunge all of the Svar-tu in a civil war between House Cloudspell and House Skyflower, and her own newborn son's life would be in jeopardy.

Leucosa informed Ashwin of her husbands death and promptly showed her the deed that entitled Leucosa to the keep and its surrounding lands, leaving Ashwin without a husband and without a home. However, Ashwin convinced the adventurers to let her live on the land and act as a majordomo of sorts.

Cisco
(Female Mountain Lion) A mountain lion who lived most of its life on the island of Sparinon until it was tamed by Morgan Godbolt after a rough fight.

SH 670, December 11th: Morgan Godbolt tames Cisco and claims her as his own beast companion.

Coutcheck
(Male Human) Little is known about this individual save that he is somehow the patron of the warlock Ckodjr. His power may be great enough to bestow upon a lesser mortal, but he is certainly not at the top of the food chain. He controls the small town of Blasphas, located on the eastern side of Spatera.

Dejen
(Male Human) Known solely as "Mr. Dejen," this quiet, nondescript man carries around a very serious demeanor in all things he does. He seems to be the assistant to Admiral Tes but whether this is accurate is unclear. He works aboard the Flagship Judicature and seems to be in charge of administrative work concerning the missions and objectives of the Judicature.

SH 670, December 24th: Dejen was the first to greet the crew of the ElectroZephyr once it docked on the Judicature. He also led them to Admiral Tes and their guest quarters.

The Elder
(Male Elf) Commonly known amongst the elves of Sparinon as the oldest and wisest of their hidden community, the Elder's true name has been lost to the ages as his role began to take on more relevance to his community than any ties to his family were. Some have speculated as to the true age of the Elder, but most are content to leave such a question alone. For those of us who are curious, however, many whisper that he has lived nearly a thousand years and was well into adulthood when Nack was founded and was then called Svar-tu. He is only one of a handful of elves still alive who remember the realm as it was before the coming of men who would destroy the dragons and bring magic-infused technology into the realm. The Elder serves as a guide for any trusted folk who seek an answer.

SH 670, December 12th: Ckodjr and his newfound companions ask the Elder for the location of Sweetwater Island and the means of finding it. The Elder gives them a ponderous answer, but it is enough for them to locate the mysterious island.

SH 671, January 14th: After losing magical contact with Diovax, Diovax sends the adventurers on a mission to find out what's going on. He is known to frequent the Inn of the Copper Sweep during the midnight hours.

Hawk
(Male Human) A soldier in his 20's employed by the Nack Army who is part of an elite task force.

He was once a comrade to Andras, alias: Jackal.

SH 671, January 13th: After ambushing the Blue Bandits at the hangar holding the ElectroZephyr in Helmar, Hawk failed to eliminate Andras or the other Bandits. He survived the encounter as the adventurers fled.

Jalathee

She has since been stranded on Sweetwater Island for several years and has lived with the unicorns, living off of the food the jungle landscape provides.

SH 670, December 17th: Freia and her companions were led to Jalathee by giddy unicorns. She warned them of the sepulcher and the dangers that lie ahead, but they paid her no heed...

Judith
(Female Human) Countless centuries ago, in a time before history, Judith was once the lover of a great paladin named Egon. She was slaughtered by Egon's enemies, and Egon shortly thereafter met another woman who seduced him and orchestrated his fall from righteousness. The woman, a she-devil named Fierna, eventually led Egon to the pits of Nine Hells and raised him up as an archdevil lieutenant under her and Belial's command. It is thought that Judith ascended to the heavenly plane of Mount Celestia.

Minx
(Female Human) A soldier in her 20's employed by the Nack Army who is part of an elite task force. As her alias "Minx" indicates, she specializes in social infiltration, manipulating her way into any situation by using her flirtatious charm. Stories of her exploits have bordered on the absurd, but she has yet to deny any of them. She was once a comrade to Andras, alias: Jackal.

Oakey
(Male Squirrel) A familiar of sorts for the ranger Kiva, Oakey has proven to be the foundation of Kiva's morale. He is usually found sleeping in her pocket.

Raz-Hindur
(Male Elf/Vampire/Plate Armor) Raz-Hindur was once an elven vampire who roamed the realm of Nack well before it was called such. Once a member of the now-ended House Moonwhisper, he was transformed into an original vampire when he had completely given himself up to the moon goddess Runsted. After sewing evil amongst the lands and destroying many other forgotten elven Houses, he was hunted down by a group of warlocks who, rather than giving him a true death, imprisoned him into a magical set of armor and hid him in the sepulcher on Sweetwater.

SH 10: He is the sole perpetrator behind the historic Bloodletting of Sweetwater Island.

Rustingard Nack I
(Male Human) Known historically as the Conqueror of Dragons, the Godkiller, and the Hero of the Humans, Rustingard Nack I was the leader of the humans who flew up from the surface world on their magnificent airships, began the War of Ascendancy, and defeated the legendary Locqwerthalyn at the Battle of Locq. Rustingard formed the Nack Empire in his name. His origins, however, remain a mystery. The humans who first came to Nack are said to have had marvelous technological and magical power, but where they come from or how they came to possess and/or create such marvels is as of yet unknown. He fathered two sons, the first of which was Wrallingard Nack III.

They decide to take his hoard from the chamber and leave him there for the rest of eternity. (read more on Episode 4: “The Tree of Pain”)

Rustingard Nack II
(Male Human) The emperor of Nack, second Rustingard of the relatively short family lineage, son to the late emperor Wrallingard Nack III, and grandson to the legend and founder of Nack, Rustingard I. He seems to work behind the curtains a lot, and utilizes delegates for nearly every project or task for the empire. Only a handful of advisers have his ear at any given time. Whether Rustingard is a slave to his advisers or perhaps has a will of his own is yet to be seen in any true sense. His politics involve keeping the status quo: dominate the region, force natives into ever dwindling reservations and destroy any who openly oppose the empire. He resides in the Sky Citadel on Namara.

SH 622, March 12th: After the death of the previous emperor, Wrallingard Nack III, the child-heir, Rustingard Nack II, assumes command of the realm at the age of 10. His two elder brothers died of a plague years past.

His face was melted off by a sacred flame spell, courtesy of Halcyon on his unholy goddess Runsted. <font face="helvetica" color="firebrick">(now dead)

Tes
(Male Human) Admiral Tes is the commander of the Nack Fleet and is stationed on the Flagship Judicature. He is bald with a long beard and is always seen wearing the Nack Empire's signature black and purple robes, with various symbols denoting the wearer's rank. He has many subordinates, but one of note includes the eccentric Mr. Dejen.

SH 647, January 5th: Tes is named Admiral of the Fleet and command of the Flagship Judicature.

SH 670, December 24th: After capturing the ElectroZephyr and speaking with its crew, Tes believes that they are working for the Dragon Shipwright's Guild and allows them to stay in the guest wing of the Judicature for a couple weeks until they dock at Namara.

Thex
(Male Red Dragon - Soulless) Thex is the random dragon that was once accompanying Jayce Borgas on his quest to retrieve the Orb of Dragon Command. He is fundamentally soulless, meaning he was artificially and spontaneously created by the magic-infused engines used to power dragon-bladder ships. Thus, he is significantly less intelligent and less autonomous than his true draconic cousins.

SH 671, January 4th: Thex is commanded by Leucosa through the Orb of Dragon Command and subsequently eats Jayce Borgas. He doesn't help Leucosa or her allies further.

SH 671, January 11th: The heroes discover that Wasp has become a lieutenant of sorts to the werebear Grisold. Due to her shame, she attempted to slay Andras, but after being talked down and cured of her weretiger lycanthropy, she agreed to become the captain of the guards of what is now the Keep of Lady Leucosa Enna. She is also the go-to poisons person for the adventurers.

Wolf
(Male Human) A veteran reaching an elder age employed by the Nack Army who is part of an elite task force. His real name is unknown, but as his alias "Wolf" suggests, he is the tactical leader of the elite force that includes the ex-patriot Andras, alias: Jackal. His primary trait, however, was that he never spoke. His silent disposition would come off as unsettling to say the least, but it certainly didn't affect his martial prowess. It is uncertain whether Wolf and his squad are in search of Jackal, who went AWOL.

SH 671, January 13th: After ambushing the Blue Bandits at the hangar holding the ElectroZephyr in Helmar, Wolf successfully boarded the ship momentarily at the open deck on top. However, Freia swung the ship sharply starboard, causing Wolf to lose his footing, flinging him off the ship to fall below the Cloud Canopy. <font face="helvetica" color="firebrick">(now dead)

SH 671, February 5th: After Lats opened up the door with the gold dragon's visage on it with the wrong key, Zakaria was summoned. Although the dragon's first instinct was to destroy the invaders, some quick convincing and the revelation that the intruders had the Orb of Dragon Command in their possession, Zakaria instead led the adventurers to the notes left behind by a mysterious individual that eventually led them to the Canary Scrolls. ''(read more on Episode 12: “The Tomb of Locq”)

Brodeau
(Male Human, Vampire Spawn) A handsome vampire in service to Valosine and Diovax, Brodeau was stationed in Namara until he was summoned to convene with Noniye and travel to Locq in order to ambush a group of adventurers who apparently possessed both the Orb of Dragon Command and the Canary Scrolls.

SH 671, February 5th: In an attempt to ambush and kill the Blue Bandits, Brodeau was killed by the adventurers and a couple of agents of the Vengeful Sun. He was assassinated by the gnome Lilhani. <font face="helvetica" color="firebrick">(now dead) (read more on Episode 1: “Uniting the Tribes”)

(Male Elf) This newborn elf was born within the Palace of the Svarsun amidst a dragon invasion. Since his father, Elondar Cloudspell died before he was born, his affiliation to House Cloudspell was severed, and he was born solely within House Skyflower.

'SH 671, February 28th: Elondar was born in a tumultuous moment, while dragons were attacking Sparinon and were invading the Palace of the Svarsun. After some complication, Queen Vlaya nearly lost the child in birth, but the forest gnome Lats Boldengrin stepped in to assist with the delivery, saving the newborn boy's life.
