Personality: He believes there is no problem he cannot solve with sufficient elbow grease and persistence, if it is the best or most economic solution matters not. He plays an instrument quite well.

History: Born in the north to a Bowyer, Aramil learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. At a young age both his parents were killed in an accident.

Personality: Traki hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate him. It was this clingy personality that held back his writing career. He does not regard money as being a problem because it has never been a problem for him. He lives in a bit of an ivory tower believing all problems are one quick intervention away from being solved.

History: Traki was born in the north. At a young age he loved to build and create. After coming to the age of reason, Traki took it upon himself to study the martial arts in their entirety; because of this, he was labeled a dark omen and banished from his homeland. He knows his nephew is from a royal line that had remained secret for centuries, but promised not to tell anyone. So far, no-one knows but him.

Motivation: He feels that his past leaves him morally obligated to help.

Description: This younger middle-aged man wears professional attire, and a wedding ring on his right hand. He wears a Stetson hat to hide his balding. His half smiles and red eyes are beguiling and draw you in.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He works hard and plays hard.

History: He is a Deep Scion in disguise. While studying, he fell in love. They married and had a daughter. He has drifted apart from his friends and has been working freelance. Each gave each other a copy of their signature longbow.

He prefers to carry a warhammer, but if one is not available he will default to his lance. His chestnut hair, when down, is lengthy. His eyes, though not visible through his cowl, are silver.

Personality: He will use flattery and sarcasm to attack and weaken his opponents. Despite his formidable combat skills he remains a coward. He also is a firm believer in the manly ideal.

History: His parents moved while he was still in utero so he is the first generation to be born here. He took every job he could get his hands on, but the opportunities for Tieflings in the south were limited. Recently a tribe of drow attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls. Marbas fought at the side of some of the regions greatest heroes but was never overshadowed.

Description: Wearing a closed helm and plate, one would not know what she was had she not made sure her armor was more form fitting than normal.

Her bronze crest is singed and shortened. Her red eyes peer out from beneath her Stetson black hat.

Personality: She is quiet and unassuming. She ignores others and carries on with her job unassumingly. Her actions favor neither the good nor the evil, as she answers to a power that mortal women fail to acknowledge.

History: She was born a particularly ugly child, much to the horror of her parents. Being born in the north, she completed her medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. She returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. She was a general practitioner in the north for years, until she, through no fault of her own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal she made her way west. She tends to her Map Maker job now, and dutifully fulfills any obligations she has.
