Defining Recurring Characters

For the purposes of this listing, "recurring characters" are defined as non-player characters (NPCs) who play a role across all or most of an act (see The Story So Far), with the general implication that they are in someway relevant to the greater plot to one or more of the campaigns. Additional characters are likely to be added as the party travels and make new memories. If you don't see a specific character, they may be either be a past or current player character (such as Drake or Rotund) or may be listed as a secondary character. For player characters, see the Character Codex for more details. For the Torch company founded by Torchlord Gregor, see the Gregor's Torch Company for more details. For other non-player characters not listed here or above, see the Secondary Characters for more details.

Torches

Alexa

A half-dwarf (mul) paladin of the Primordial Earth. She is a former candidate of the Khazad-Mor Mithril Order, but was inspired by the Torches call to action. She was the acting Torchlord at the Morgrad Torch Base until Gregor's promotion.

Alexi

Alexa's brother, and fellow Torch member. He is a former blacksmith of Khazad-Mor, but offered his services to the Torches after his sister joined.

Torchlord Maxwell - "Maxie"

The gnomish Torchlord of the Magnosi Torch branch, and the older brother of the Torch's magical R&D lead Moxie. Lovingly referred to as "Maxie". He considers himself to be a perfectionist, and clocks time meticulously, but this brings him a great deal of worry and anxiety.

Moxie

An eccentric but talented, gnomish cataloger and enchanter who runs the Torch's magical item exchange.

Selena deFay

An elvish spellcaster from Magnos, she is concerned with the persecution of magically-gifted people, among others, of the world. While she was unable to change the minds of Harad's people about magic, she was able to save (and ultimately adopt) More. She is well-educated in both academia and combat, and is very willing to talk about it.

Silvarin

A mysterious, but often jovial half-elven duelist. He has worked with the Torches for several years to end the Shadow's plan, which is why he seems to know almost everybody. He also has a odd-habit of sprinkling Al-Andalusian elvish words into his everyday Romanoran Common speech.

Torchlord Thorin Silverbeard

A dwarf who is the torchlord of the Harad Torch base. He likes to talk about his past as a covert-agent for the Torches, but those days are long past. Besides, if he keeps talking about it, can he really be called "covert"?	Picture not available

Torchmaster Torval

The current Torchmaster of the Torches. He is a wise and deeply dedicated man to his cause, and as an elf, has been working at his post for close to a century. Other younger ancestries tend to be novel to him, especially children.

Also known as Sheikh ("leader") Yusuf, or Torchlord Yusuf, this rugged and protective human man is the leader of the Al-Andalus Torch operations.

Shadow-Aligned

Baron vonCount

A powerful and cruel human merchant-lord of Harad, who delivered the VonCount name from the brink of obscurity into a major worldwide mercantile power. He seems to have several dealings with the fetchlings and the Shadow, though the details of these are cloudy, at best. He also appears to be an accomplished spellcaster and scryer.

Ferandis

An advisor formerly under Archmagister Sendor. He's an impatient, secretive, and terse man who specializes in otherworldly anthropology. He is later revealed to be a fetchling in disguise.

He was seen directing the efforts of the Fetchlings in the svir complex of "City".	Picture not available

Ra'Kor

The draconic "brother" of Drake, he lost his chance for the throne of High Peak when he was bested in a trial of strength to his "brother". Since Drake's absence, he and his councilor Lo have usurped the throne of High Peak and have taken to corrupting the dragons there.	Picture not available

Quietus

A half-orcish Shadow cultist who enlists the help of Gregor and Zelt to see him to safety. His plots in the destruction of the village of Solus are discovered, and soon dies a "mysterious" death by unknown assassin(s). His tomes may unlock the secrets to undoing the damage caused by the Shadow.

S.L.Y

Impa Repro

A gnomish SLY agent who goes by the name of "The Imp", whose curious and studious nature has led her to become the head of not only the Westport branch, but also of Research, Development, and "Acquisitions" of new SLY technology. She runs a seedy alchemist's shop as a front for SLY activity.	CONFIDENTIAL

Rankin Fiiren

Better known as "the Rat", this kobold is an operative of SLY who manages a magical- item store in the superstitious Harad, which ultimately led to his untimely trial and near execution.	CONFIDENTIAL

Therese Robin

Robin - better known as "The Bird", this human enchantress prefers to use her beauty and charisma along with her enchantment and illusion magic in place of stealth and subterfuge. She gathers information and informants as the madam from the Bird and Bough, Romanorum's most prominent brothel. She enjoys both good rumors and "unsolved" murder mysteries.	CONFIDENTIAL

Casimir al-Farman

Known to other agents as "The Camel", this S.L.Y. agent runs Kaffa's most popular inn and tavern known as "The Camel's Trail". Located at the crossroads of Damask, Tyre, and Samarkand, he gathers information and caravan routes for future use for the League. A skilled former soldier and more skilled assassin, Casimir now prefers a quieter role of intelligence-gathering and managing bounties.	CONFIDENTIAL

Eastern Continent

Margrave Alma

This elven woman is the Lord Protector of the city of Creci, and tasked with its governance and defense. After a string of kidnappings in her city, she entrusts you to seek out the culprits; fetchlings, who were hiding in her city. She is also a capable magus, midnight duelist (see Magnos), and especially powerful with ice magic.

Caliph Scheherazade

The caliph (religious leader), and one of the two leaders of the western nation of Al-Andalus(the other being the secular leader, the Sultan). Scheherazade is a leading authority of Heavens worship, especially worship of Mendos, the god-patron of humanity. Regal but not self-important, she puts others above herself in the example of Mendos.

Archmagister Sendor Docens

The first human Archmagister of Magnos, and is an extremely- gifted spellcaster and linguist. As a leader and a person, he is patient, kind, and down-to-earth in comparison to the multitude of arrogant mages who live in Magnos. He was previously married to Selena deFay, but the two divorced after their first child died of sickness. After the party's journey to the Svir "City", they had largely mended theirrelationship, with More being their adopted son.

More (deFay)

The adopted human son of Selena deFay. Abandoned as a toddler by Harad's superstitious population, this magically-gifted young boy was named when Selena was inadvertently feeding a stray fox kit, and surprised when the fox suddenly shapeshifted to human form to ask for "more". Precocious and curious, he seems to take well to many forms of magic.

Old Salt

An orcish sea-captain of the White Pearl aptly named on his account of both being old and having a generally crusty disposition. Despite this, he treats others with fairness and his crew well. He is respected in return not only by his crew, but also by Silvarin and the Torches which he has helped.

Shyalla

The draconic wife of Drake, she has proved to be Drake's loyal companion through their trials since leaving High Peak. She also has a son, the half-dragon Fayell.
