  • Chief Azarog The Strong
    Azarog is the chief of the large orc war band that originally recovered the first crystal key. After coming back from a hunt to find his encampment in flames, Azarog's first encounter with the party inevitably resulted in violence. Upon facing the party a second time, Azarog and several other orcs from his larger war band agreed to help defend the aarakocra at Cloudborne Keep from the kobold invasion, seemingly not realizing that the individuals beseeching their aid were the same ones that had attacked their encampment earlier.
  • Bjorn
    Bjorn originally met the party while hunting remorhaz near Virki Viburi, and reunited with them during the escape from the war meeting. Bjorn was a key figure in connecting the party to giant society in Terra Dur, allowing them to stay in his home and lending Ro-gin the dreamwalker staff.
  • Blackfoot
    Blackfoot was the small, sneaky halfling second of Gideon in the Red Fang, who was sent as a deadly assassin to attack the party after their library heist. Blackfoot killed Deedee Boucher before being brutally slaughtered by the rest of the party.
  • Captain Bo Jangles
    The debonair delinquent that t=sticks his nose in whatever trouble comes his way, Captain Bo Jangles the Inscrutable always finds a way to weasel himself into and out of the dangerous situations that he makes for himself and others. When his crew was massacred in a brief stint working for Kiernan LaBarre, Bo Jangles barely managed to escape with his life by diving into the ocean, defenseless. It is unsure whether he survived.
  • Carl "Geri" and Karl "Freki" Muller
    A set of identical halfling twins who grew up on the streets of Gienah, they’ve made their living in pickpocketing and burglary. Karl was killed by gnolls in the mines during Siege of Alioth, but was preserved by Abel Xiloscient and later revived in Orion's Flask.
  • Conrad Stillwater
    A stuck-up, arrogant captain of the commercial vessel [i]The Gilded Glider[/i], Conrad Stillwater was abandoned into slavery by the party in their first encounter with Captain Bo Jangles The Inscrutable. He was later found to have escaped captivity in Algorab, helping the party take down the interim ruler Devon LaBarre before being abducted by the darkness of "The southern necromancer" at the Temple to the Dark God. Conrad met a righteous end under The First Temple by allowing the party to kill him, destroying the spirit of an invisible specter bound to his soul in a dark ritual.

  • Dante
    Dante is a handsome, debonair lieutenant of the Menkalinan guard, determined to assist the party in any way possible in their quest to save the city from the time loop. Dante has strong abilities and even stronger conviction, helping to guide the party through their day and their adventures. The phrase "I have brought a chrysanthemum for Ambrose" has significant meaning to him, and although he never explained in detail, it essentially notifies Dante that these people are people he would die for at the beginning of each loop.
  • Devon LaBarre
    The middle child of the current LaBarre family, a year younger than Natalia and three years older than Doyle. Devon spends much of his time observing his father as he goes about his work. Proud of his heritage, he is highly pretentious and is eager to take control of the family when the time comes. He is a skilled duelist, taking a slow, measured approach to every engagement.
  • King Didon Athinson
    The dwarven king of Alioth, King Didon ruled benevolently but was blind to Magnus's evil machinations, and was killed during the war meeting with the giants. His body was whisked away by Abel, preserved, and revived in Terra Dur, eventually allowing him to take back his throne in Alioth with the help of the party.
  • Djana
    Djana is an old red dragonborn woman and competent melon farmer that housed the party for a night before they entered the time bubble around Menkalinan. Paxton Valerius is currently working for her as an apprentice of sorts, but the rest of the party still owes her a day of work on her farm.

    This dashingly handsome, gruff Undead Kennedys fan led a group of miners in a mining base in the hills outside of Okab. When Linus Landstein was passing through and offered to help transmute some of their ore, a band of goblins attacked, causing Linus's experiments to go awry and switch the minds of each miner with each goblin. Eventually, Eugene and his group were (presumably) transformed back into people and allowed to resume their mining.

He was also instrumental in healing the soldiers that fought at Cloudborne Keep against the second siege of Kobolds.
  • Gideon
    Gideon was once a rare half-dwarf boy of odd proportions and strange skin who was believed to be the bastard son of King Didon. However, Magnus replaced this figure with an Oni, who quickly rose to power as leader of The Red Fang, a hunting group in the forests surrounding Alioth. Gideon was killed falling into lava by fighting the party in Magnus's lair with his evil glaive, Bhais Dhul.
  • Hafthor "Fenris" Valle
    A rugged rogue leader of the House of Wolves, Hafthor is a human hailing from Ursa who migrated South to Corvus with his wife, Vilde who died of illness. His short temper and anger towards nobles often threatens to place him in dangerous situations, but overall he is a wise and cunning ally.

  • Kiernan LaBarre
    The patriarch of the LaBarre family, Kiernan is physically mighty and has a cunning mind. He is defined not only by his stature, but by his low, booming voice.

  • Lassiter "Lassie" Jespersen
    Lassie is a human who joined the House of Wolves only a couple months before they were discovered, and as a result, Doyle doesn’t know much about him. He is skilled with his lyre and would on occasion provide entertainment for the group. He’s a certified bitch.
  • Leaks
    Leaks is the massive doorman of The Court of Knives, intervening in any conflicts that breakout within the Court, and ensuring that no trespassers make it past him without the right (or wrong) passphrase.
  • Liliana "Barghest" Rivers
    Liliana is a young, brash violet tiefling from the town of Haedus who has an innate ability for magic. When her powers began to manifest, and she was unable to control them, her family cast her out and she made her way to Gienah, where she worked in the House of Wolves for many years. Liliana, as the world knew her, died under the corruption of a curse surrounding the Voldeun of Khione in the original temple of the dark god that caused her to split in two. The darker version of herself took the boots of frost and attacked the city of Gienah, where she drowned in an explosion of glowjuice.
  • Lillith

  • Archmage Magnus Amaran
    Magnus Amaran was the evil archmage in Alioth who overthrew the city after plotting the king's demise through the chaos of the war meeting with the giants. His true loyalties are still somewhat unknown, but it is strongly believed that since he was one of the original ancient dragon companions of the old gods, he was corrupted by the Dark God and exploited through his son. His dead body is currently being preserved by Abel Xiloscient, in the hopes that he may one day be revived as Magnus, the Cunning Light.
  • Lieutenant Marcus

  • Thalia Nuovis
    An immeasurably powerful tiefling mage with some form of unknown connection to the Nine Hells, Thalia Nuovis leads a cult that had primarily been based in the Shadowfell, of which Torren was a member. Her pragmatism, ambition, and zeal allows her to powerfully lead the cult in its dark plot to merge light and shadow.
  • The Judge
    Addressed only by Your Honor in his Court of Knives, the Judge leads a thieves guild in Menkalinan with a strictly dynamic atmosphere of lawful chaos. He often forces outsiders to "pay Bail", which is a sadistic game dealing with certain poisons that are each transmitted via different methods. Additionally, if anyone causes him a particularly significant (or in some cases insignificant) level of displeasure, his pet shark Suzie, who lives beneath the Court, is fed a bone-crunching snack.
  • Thomison
    Thomison was one of the two hired men that accompanied Doyle, Rastos, Byeah, and Kira on their journey northward to Alioth on the Fogbreaker. Marshall, the other hand, unfortuneately died defending the Moon's Shadow during the Siege of Alioth, but Thomison fought bravely and was reunited with his brother Marcus.
  • Vivian
    Vivian is one of the four ancient original dragon companions of the old gods, and had spent most of her life after the dragon war in isolation in Orion, where no one would be able to locate her.

  • Yostix Grellow
    Yostix is an old, white-haired gnomish shopkeeper who runs The Adventurer's Vanguard, providing groups with places to search for and collect certain jobs or bounties, as well as the supplies necessary to complete them.
