Flight of the ElectroZephyr

SH 670, December 6th: After secretly turning on Halcyon due to the Rogue card being pulled from the Deck of Many Things, Atticus attempts to assassinate Halcyon in his sleep aboard the ElectroZephyr.

(Nymph) The enchanted bed slave of the wizard Selubrius. She refuses to actively help any intruders and is magically restricted to the bedchamber of the old wizard.

Diovax
(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 670, November 18th: The enchantment Diovax holds over Halcyon and Poppy is inexplicably severed... now he's mad!

SH 670, December 25th: The deed to the Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen, drafted by Diovax, magically appears on Leucosa's person.

SH 671, January 9th: Upon the return of the adventurers, Diovax's wrath is stayed by the arrival of the spirit of Raz-Hindur embedded into crimson plate armor. Diovax gives Leucosa Enna the title deed to the Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen, requesting that in exchange for ownership of the Keep all lycanthropes in the area of exterminated.

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, February 2nd: When the adventurers return to Diovax with Farlin's head, the vampire lord applauds their efforts in finding his fledgling and shows them to where he has hidden the ElectroZephyr. While following him into the crypts beneath the castle, Lilhani recognizes a nearby glowing orb, trapped within a cylindrical chamber, to be the soul of Naïlo Enna, Leucosa's comatose sister! Diovax secretly led the group into a pit of the fourth level of hell, Phlegethos and abandoned them there aboard the hidden airship to be slaughtered by Egon the Lustful.

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.

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. After his capture by the band of adventurers, Jayce managed to escape within the Royal Palace using the misty step spell.

SH 671, January 4th: After being caught trying to retrieve the Orb of Dragon Command atop Selubrius' tower, he was slaughtered by one Leucosa Enna by the ironic dragon slayer sword. (now dead)

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.

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.

Margrun Alfansire
(Female Dwarf) Cousin to Myrtle Alfansire and high priestess of the Church of Alfan Skytone, Margrun is one of the Royal Council of Queen Myrtle. Of the Alfansire Clan.

Myrtle Alfansire
(Female Dwarf) Queen of the Bandle City dwarves for over 300 years, Myrtle has led her city into a century of booming economic growth with lots of help from the Nack Steel Company. She has a Royal Council of eight advisers. Of the Alfansire Clan.

Nommak Rivermaker
(Male Dwarf) Born c. SH 45. A legendary figure in the minds of the dwarves of Bandle City who allegedly carved out the grand cave from the Bandle River. The Docks of Nommak are named after him, and the Nommaksire Clan claims to be of direct descent of Nommak Rivermaker.

Paddy
(Male Padlock) Paddy is, simply put, a sentient padlock. He has been locking the door to Selubrius' personal alchemy lab for decades and has known no other existence.

SH 670, November 18th: Now he is in the hands of the adventurers and is super-duper excited for the epic things to come.

Parck Herring
(Male Human) A human representative of the Nack Steel Company, Parck serves on the Queen's Royal Council as a living symbol of the trade agreement between Bandle City and the humans of Namara. He has served on the council for fifteen years (since SH 655).

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)

King Raylin
(Male Elf, Undead) A long-dead king of a forgotten elven empire in Nack, he has been buried in a secret chamber within a tomb on the island of Mastik.

SH 670, October 23th: His risen corpse attacked the adventurers. (now dead).

Renauld Swift
(Male Half-Elf) Renauld has served on the Queen's Royal Council for nearly 35 years (since SH 635) and acts as an ambassador of the Nack Empire who subtly exerts his influence on Queen Myrtle. His charming demeanor and seemingly otherworldly presence has long kept the queen quite enchanted with him. See Jayce Borgas for the full information on this NPC.

SH 670, November 27th: He admits that he knows the whereabouts of Jayce Borgas 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 30: 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. After his capture by the band of adventurers, Jayce managed to escape within the Royal Palace using the misty step spell.

Selubrius
(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.

Serris Waterlight
(Male Elf) Serris is an elven noble belonging to House Waterlight and hailing from the elven island of Sparinon. For the last hundred years (since c.

SH 671, February 5th: In an attempt to ambush and kill the Blue Bandits, Valosine was overcome by the adventurers and a couple of agents of the Vengeful Sun. She was killed by the ElectroZephyr's lightning bolt as she attempted to flee. (now dead) (read more on Episode 1: “Uniting the Tribes”)

Vannon
(Male Elf) A representative of House Skyflower.

SH 670, October 20th: Vannon has asked the adventurers to escort Vlaya to the hidden elven city of Sparinon. The group arrived at Sparinon on October 22nd with minimal event.

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. (read more on Episode 3: “The Curse of Barratu”)

Alistair De'Armisen
(Male Half-Elf) Sir Alistair De'Armison, once a knight of great renown who fought for the rights of half-elves throughout Nack, later became a great ambassador who is widely given credit for establishing peaceful relations with the Nack Empire and the half-elven families who lived in the borderlands between the elven reservations and the human merchant cities of Nack. He built a great Keep near the town of Blasphas on Spatera.

SH 670, December 25th: Sir Alistair's Keep is suddenly beset by packs of various lycanthropes. After locking his family in a secret room, Sir Alistair dies in a desperate struggle to lead the beasts away from those he loves. (now dead)

Anrag
(Male Orog/Half-Dragon, Red) This brutish creature attempted to slaughter the adventurers with the help of four of his tribesmen on the primordial island of Locq. After his allies were slain, they left him alive momentarily and tortured/shamed him into revealing that powerful artifacts were rumored to be hidden in the tombs beneath the great valley that was the culmination of the Battle of Locq. Halcyon and Andras killed him after he gave them the information. (now dead)

Ashwin De'Armisen
(Female Half-Elf) The widow of the late Sir Alistair, the lady Ashwin and her two small children were locked away in a secret room guarded by a stone golem when the lycanthrope clan invaded the Keep that the De'Armisen family had owned for generations.

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.

SH 671, January 25th: Lilhani discovers a note written by Dejen which was hidden amidst stacks of books related to the Canary Scrolls in the Namara Library.

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.

SH 671, January 25th: The corpse of Farlin is discovered in his abandoned and rundown apartment resting in the shadow of the Sky Citadel within a half-open coffin with a stake through his heart. A note was attached to the stake. (now dead)

SH 670, December 25th: After leading a successful invasion in the Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen and dispatching of Sir Alistair himself, he has taken residence somewhere deep within the fortress.

Hawk
(Male Human) A soldier in his 20's employed by the Nack Army who is part of an elite task force. His real name is unknown but his alias "Hawk" indicates his preferred role as the scout, who usually blitzes into combat from an unexpected and unknown location. 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
(Female Human) Once part of an adventuring party in search for the legendary armor hidden within Sweetwater Sepulcher, she is now the only remaining survivor who has witnessed the horrors from within. 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.

SH 670, December 18th: Raz-Hindur persuades the dwarf Poppy to don the armor in which his spirit is trapped, allowing him to finally escape his prison upon Sweetwater Sepulcher.

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.

c. SH 450: Aboard the first airships known to history, Rustingard and his armies arrive to the region now known as Nack.

SH 500, February 14th: The dragon goddess Locqwerthalyn is defeated at the Battle of Locq. Rustingard becomes the self-appointed emperor of Nack, first in his name.

SH 581, May 18th: After an unnaturally long life, Rustingard Nack I dies at the venerable age of 156. His son Wrallingard III takes the throne.

SH 670, March 5th: A group of adventurers discovers the ancient, but not yet dead, Rustingard Nack I twisted into a massive wooden wheel within a secret chamber in Barratu's Temple of Anguish next to the Tree of Pain. After a quick discussion, the group realizes who he is and see that he is a huge bigot who apparently bears an eternal hatred for all dragons and elves and their related kin alike. 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.

SH 671, January 10th: Sijenam is taken as a hostage after fleeing in cowardice and telling the heroes where his leader Grisold is.

SH 671, January 11th: After revealing that several werewolves were likely behind the massive doors next to the Keep's dungeons, Halcyon and the others saw no more use in keeping the poor wererat alive. His face was melted off by a sacred flame spell, courtesy of Halcyon on his unholy goddess Runsted. (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.

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.

Walhorn

Wasp
(Female Human) A soldier in her 30's employed by the Nack Army who is part of an elite task force. Her real name is unknown but her alias "Wasp" signifies her superior mobility in battle and her affinity with the use of various poisons. She was once a comrade to Andras, alias: Jackal.

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.

Zeio
(Male Elf) Known as "Brother Zeio" by most of his colleagues, this elf leads the Monastery of the Black Wind and the group of monks who tend to it. He is a venerated expert in the ninja-like skills these monks train in.
