Supporting Cast
  • Baern Silverhand
    Quin's former school master and mentor, cleric of Ahin.
  • Captain Jerimiah Staget
    Jerimiah Staget, or "Stagman", as his friends call him, was the stalwart captain of the guard in the Tallow Quarter. His methods were found to be too lenient and not hard nosed enough when coming to grapple with the rising unrest there, so he has been switched with the much more calm Craftsman's Quarter comparitively. He is brusk, quick of mind and bitingly jaded about the nature of his work. However, he does still believe in the good of people deep down.
  • Captain Roran Abernathy
    Roran was the captain of the Guard in the Jadesmith Quarter before being moved to the Tallow Quarter and the guard there. Known for his no-nonsense attitude and strict adherence to the written law, he has found the switch to the unruly Tallow Quarter to be hard work. He holds no love for the poor and carries out his justice with an iron cudgel and a stout blonde mustache.
  • Fildo Gutgak
    A bit derpy, a "buff" halfling. Simple but good hearted. Works in the surrounding fields as a day laborer. One of Quin's roommates.
  • Franklin Gutgak
    A bit more nerdy than Fildo, but not an actual nerd. He's got a sharp wit and works as a looming apprentice down the street. Also roommates with Quin.
  • Jeyrth Phaulkon
    Jeyrth is the head of the Dusk Wardens in the area of Foster. She is a middle-aged high elf of long blonde hair and luxirious features and can often be found wandering the Jade Gardens or her home at Phaulkonmere Villa. She maintains her charge and is actively seeking someone worthy to replace her, as her partner Samorda lives in Vepxedon and she years to return to her.
  • Lawbearer Shane Ordin
    A middle-aged dwarf with well kept brown hair and an unkempt beard. A friend of Captain Staget's, he judges fairly from the intent of the law, not the letter. He shares Staget's compassion and empathy with the less fortunate of the city, but does not share the same methods or love of those that Staget might employ.
  • Maxine the Talking Horse
    Maxine was imbued with the ability to speak a few years ago by a magical mishap when she was struck by arcane lightning. Now, she acts as an informant for the Allwatch, keeping an eye on the goings on of the Craftsmen's Quarter.
  • Melannor Fellbranch
    Melannor is a halfling gardener who tends the garden at Phaulkonmere Villa. He also acts as an advisor, assistant and friend to Jeryth Phaulkon.
  • Persimmon Halbrook
    Persimmon is a human girl of about eight years old who exhibits some disturbing features.
  • Torel, Gifted One of the Skies
    Torel is a ki-rin of former vivacity and wise nobility. Trapped within a sanctuary of his own making by unknown forces, Torel leads the Desperados - an order of paladins that swear loyalty to the open road, named for his former adventuring group - from below. He has been trapped within the Sanctum Cormeum for forty years. Though only a fraction of time for a being as timeless as himself, forty years is eons too long for his ki-rin nature which yearns for and lives by the defense of all that is good. As a result, Torel's ki-rin magic and nature has begun to dwindle. His horns have crumbled to near studs and the once blinding vibrance of his scales are now just burnished gold from lack of sun. His personality has changed too; once an aggressive and fierce foe of evil, Torel has become more subdued. He speaks in softer tones and is often overcome by weariness from too much activity. The lack of exposure to the sun is slowly killing him, and although a ki-rin is functionally immortal, not being able to fully embrace his nature may turn him into a shadow of his former self. In a previous life, Torel was a half-elf named Korfel Dieron, a paladin of the original Desperados. To honor the dying wishes of his friend Averon who gave his life to save their group, Korfel took an offer from the goddess Selena and was transformed into a celestial being, drawing on his half-fey nature and turning him into a ki-rin. For millennia since his former self's death, Torel guarded over the continent of Valael. Finally deciding a place to inbue with his magic, Torel created a magical place within the city of Foster in conjunction with Jeryth Phaulkon - an archdruid and head of the Dusk Wardens. Thus, the Evergreen Gardens were born. Unbeknownst to either of them, magic was inlaid within the founding incantions of the garden so that it forbade Torel from leaving. Unable to find a way around the problem, Torel began to send dreams to individuals across the continent. He called to good-hearted people with a desire for good and justice, gifting them with a bit of his failing magic and charging them to watch over the continent as best they could in his stead. The Desperados continues to grow but as it does Torel begins to wane, his eternal sun seeming to set. Quotes for Torel: Aren't the trees vibrant today? It's almost as if they herald the coming of new life, a fledgling chick into the fold... Welcome small one. Your kind is welcome here, your kind being those of noble heart and nobler step. There is much I know about what once was, but not much I know about what is now. My followers keep me informed as best they can, but there is something to be said for experiencing the warm light of day for yourself. Nothing can substitute for it and I find myself growing ever more out of touch with the world around, even as my hooves paw the grass and my nose notes the fragrance of the snapdragons in bloom. (repeat the tenets of the oath of the desperado)
  • Yagra Stonefist
    Yagra is a half-orc member of the Wastrals and a secret drug addict. She helped Uradak through his Honing and visits the tavern every couple of days to check in on Uradak.
