Please note than all spoiler buttons are meant to hide information about the NPC that the PCs should not yet know.

Agitharian
(Male Human) In SH 1250, Verilis was visited by a mysterious mage named Agitharian, who promised Verilis the gift of immortality – allowing him to become a dreaded Dracolich – if Verilis could completely destroy all life in Vutha Valignat. He uses his extreme arcane powers to stop time completely and confront the adventurers in pursuit of Verilis. While normally he would simply kill each and every one of the adventurers, he is intrigued by their success and wants them to take on Verilis himself. He states that the adventurers have a choice: either they infiltrate Verilis' lair and kill the black dragon or they will die by Agitharian's hand. The adventurer's chose the former, naturally.

Bharash
(Male Dragonborn) This silver dragonborn serves as the priest of Bahamut in Evenhelm. He maintains the temple both as a leader of religious service and as the sole custodian of the hall. He sells rituals (both for the book and in scrolls) that have either the Heal or Religion skill association. He also sells ritual components for Heal and Religion.

Dregg
(Male Dwarf) This sturdy dwarf helped in the original defense against the Severed and currently owns the primary inn near the south gate known simply as "Dregg's Tavern." He is well renowned among the residents of Evenhelm and is said to possess the strength of even the most formidable dragonborn. If only he could breathe fire! He serves as the primary bartender here.

Hazrun
(Male Human) He poses as a simple human merchant from further east who has set up his own shop in the fortress called Hazrun's Bazaar which showcases exotic weaponry and magical sundries. However, he really serves as the personal spy for Verilis and helps to coordinate the attacks that the Severed have planned. He also knows of both the Ularen and the Lizardfolk Slavers. He says he comes from Dao Salam, a place of wind and sand, culturally influenced by the djinns who gathered there. The adventurers confronted him in SH 1310 and defeated him in the basement of his shop. (now dead)

Hesk
(Male Dragonborn) Hesk is a brass-colored dragonborn who serves as Jherbin's personal advisor. He relays most of Jherbin's military commands to Listar, and also serves as Jherbin's caregiver. He normally doesn't speak for Jherbin unless he is directly spoken to.

Ilmart
(Female Dwarf) Ilmart is the primary waitress in Dregg's Tavern. She is Dregg's wife, and moved to Evenhelm from her home in the mountains around 50 years ago when Evenhelm was built.

Jherbin
(Male Dragonborn) This green dragonborn holds the respect and adoration of the majority of the citizens of Evenhelm as its Head Marshall. However, he is growing old and his mental faculties are beginning to wither. He was once a great warrior and general who had a pivotal part in the creation of Evenhelm. And although his mind is failing, he still possesses a wealth of historical information on the Silver Scale, the Severed, and the history of the dragonborn in Vutha Valignat. He possesses a rather gentle demeanor now, but he still considers himself more than capable in regards to his physical prowess.

Jherbin is the leader of both the Silver Scale and Evenhelm. He was once a great general who fought against the first of the Severed and had a great part in building Evenhelm within Vutha Valignat. He revealed to the adventurers that the Severed have been devising a plan to launch a massive attack that could compromise the integrity of the fortress. He requested that the adventuring party to do whatever they can in their power to find the hidden base of the Severed and destroy whatever leadership they have. He suggested that looking into the recent hobgoblin raids could possibly lead them to the Severed base. Jherbin also holds a wealth of historical information concerning the dragonborn plight within the Vutha Valignat and is willing to share any story (whether the adventurers ask for it or not). Like any old man, he speaks lengthily and nostalgically of historical events.

Listar
(Female Dragonborn) This female dragonborn acts as the head of the militia. Although she currently leads the Silver Scale in combat, she must answer toJherbin, the leader of both the Silver Scale and the whole of Evenhelm. She knows that Jherbin is beginning to lose his mental faculties, but she refuses to even remotely disobey any direct order from Jherbin himself. Her loyalty towards the Silver Scale is unfaltering. She will share what information she has of the Ularen, a band of goblinoids who have been wreaking havoc along the Black Road, causing all trading to cease between Spearsdale and Augusthaven. Her scouts have reported sightings of hobgoblins to the southwest of Evenhelm, over a mile off of the road. She asks the party to search out the purported leader of the Ularen, Roak, and kill him. She also tells them that to the best of her knowledge, the Ularen are the ones trafficking the slaves in the area.

Nadaar
(Male Dragonborn) An official of the Severed, Nadaar is in charge of organizing the Lizardfolk Slavers in western Vutha Valignat and building up defenses for the Severed in preparation for the war between the Severed and the Silver Scale. He was confronted by the adventurers while meeting with the leaders of the Lizardfolk Slavers at the slavers' base and was killed there. (now dead)

Parak
(Male Dragonborn) This red dragonborn was also on the missions, accompanying Rhesh. He is a little quieter than Rhesh but can only divulge the same information as Rhesh and has only been an active warrior of the Silver Scale for a year.

Relton Sturmley
(Male Human) A very experienced merchant who is often in charge of large convoys traveling through Vutha Valignat to and from Spearsdale and Augusthaven. He has ties in Evenhelm, Spearsdale, and especially Augusthaven where he apparently started out.

He was captured by the Ularen and eventually rescued by the adventuring party in the Lizardfolk Slavers' base.

He later agreed to help the party run the new shop they gained ownership of after Hazrun's death. The contract between Relton and the party states that Relton can take around 25% of all sales for running shop and making sure supplies are continually delivered from abroad. The adventurers agreed to periodically (every month or every 3 months) stop by the shop in Evenhelm and collect their earnings.

Roak
(Male Hobgoblin) Purported leader and Chief of the Ularen.

Verilis
(Male Black Dragon) [more to come eventually]
