| Fehr'loi Qan |
Blacksmith |
Though well renown throughout the land for his superb skill as a master
weapon smith, Fehr’loi Qan himself could not be considered the sharpest
sword on the rack. The large man’s slow speech seems out of place in the
high brow city of Barloque. You get the impression that he is uncomfortable
with strangers, but his great size and clear devotion to Kraanan makes
him afraid of no one. |
| Frular |
Guildmaster |
Before you stands the stately guild hall executor. Frular has made
a healthy profit off selling official guild titles, maintenance of their
charters and the leasing of guild halls. |
| Herbutte |
Gem Shop |
Fancying himself a connoisseur of the finer things, Herbutte is little
more than a old school aristocratic snob. Within him is a dark streak of
contempt for nearly all save royalty. He will never run out of bad things
to say about the other towns and the low life transients that wander between
them. |
| Joguer |
Herb Shop |
Whistling an inane tune to himself, Joguer takes great care in tending
to his fresh garden of magical herbs and mushrooms. Many say he is the
foremost herbalist in the land. |
| Meidei |
Bartender |
At one time Meidei only served the rich or those who tipped well, until
recently when he "found" Shal’ille. Now a hard core believer,
he almost drives his own customers away from his ale. |
| Pritchett |
Innkeeper |
Of everyone in Barloque, the former sailor turned innkeeper Pritchett
is the least haughty. Perhaps it is because he was not from the Royal City
and recently moved to North Barloque to buy a title. |
| Roq |
Assassin |
There is a malevolent, otherworldly quality to this man. He clings
to the shadows of this vile place, a servant to some dark power. |
| Caramo |
City Clerk |
Not your typical Royal bureaucrat. She's attractive, charming, and
by all accounts, honorable. Caramo has spent years counting the Duke's
money, filing the former Queen's taxation scrolls, and more recently, serving
as clerk for the Office of the Justicar. |
| Obert Cair'bre |
Vaultman |

shows that he realizes his customers are often in a hurry to retrieve their
goods. |
| Madelia |
Tailor |
Used to working with the well refined tastes of nobility, Madelia meticulously

has several affairs in the works. |

The clothes she produces are beautiful. |
| Afiera D'Xor |
Wise Man |
Afiera D’xor spent many, many years of solitude in these mountains,
and now devotes his life to his art. His stone carvings are intricate designs
of mathematical perfection. He will make time, however, to entertain travelers
who hope to share some of the wisdom he has gained from a life of secluded
meditation. |

Bartender |
A peevish and sullen man tends this bar. This is Pietro, the impetuous

ears, Colhorr is an established landmark in Marion. Most of his work consists
of fabricating and repairing farming implements and hardware for the agrarian
locals. |
| Morrigan |
Innkeeper |
A silly little man, Morrigan maintains a modest business alternately
buying and selling reagents and other various notions. Although his heart
doesn’t seem to be in commerce, there can be little doubt Morrigan loves
his job. |
| Ran er'Hoth |
Wise Man |
An ancient member of the Marion community, Ran er’Hoth has taken on
a somewhat legendary status throughout Meridian, and is sought out for
his opinions and knowledge by pilgrims and travelers. Whether he is considered
a wise man or the village idiot locally really depends on who you talk
to. |
| Tova |
Bartender |
There is no overlooking Tova, a bellowing and uproarious man who takes
life exactly as it comes through the front door of the Limping Toad. He
is the proprietor here, serving drinks and entertaining from his self-styled
rostrum noted for it’s powerful stout. |
| Lady Aftyn |
Healer |
In the presence of Lady Aftyn there is no mistaking that she is of
royalty, and not from these parts. She exudes a sense of peaceful determination;
of confidence, serenity, and purpose. |
| Frisconar |
Magic Shop |
This sickly man stares at you with bleary eyes from behind the counter.
His breathing is somewhat labored and sweat mattes his forehead. Frisconar
is almost as well known for his keen interest in magical reagents as he
is for his dour out look on life. |
| Paddock |
Bartender |
As owner of perhaps the most popular bar in the world, Paddock goes
out of his way to smile at every customer who comes through the door. His
down to earth demeanor and common man approach to his clientele makes him
one of the most likable men in Tos. |

The younger and less competent brother of Paddock casually lounges
behind the bar. While sipping from goblet, he slowly bobs his head to the
music. |
| Skivlat |
Banker |

clinking of shillings. |

his face as he oversees the mock combats held in the name of Kraanan the
Fist. |
| Alzahakar |
Councilor |

proudly before you. You can feel the conflicting will of four separate
gods within him. As one of the oldest friends of King Zarcos V, he has
been counseling the princess since birth. |
| Bei Naq |
Councilor |
A small vulture like man stuffed in extravagant robes of gold and jewels,

studies, he located numerous jewel mines and remains the richest in the
land, although his purse is seldom opened. |
| Cylill |
Councilor |
A combat veteran of the wars with Ukgoth, he has mastered every skill
of combat. Dressed in light armor and military formal regalia, he lounges

past serving with the Duke’s forces in protecting the world from Trolls
and has many war stories to tell.. |
| Drechx |
Councilor |
A wise physician, he is rumored to have perfected his body’s healing

the voice of the people should dictate who leads them and allows his alliance
to sway between the Duke and Princess. |
| Esseldi |
Councilor |
A great traveler and explorer, he now hunts for the appearances of
the mystical mana nodes. Esseldi attempts to wear the stately dress of
the court, yet always manages to tatter them up on his impromptu explorations.
He enjoys talking about all of his findings, whether relevant to anyone
else or not. |

Duke |
Commanding and straight forward, the Duke commands many. He appreciates
those who show correct court etiquette and may ignore those who do not
refer to him by a stately title. |
| Kateriina |
Princess |
Never having a mother or sibling and losing her father to insanity,
she has been saddled with immense responsibility at a young age. She does
not understand why the Duke dislikes her, but knows that she must appear
as a strong opposition. She is admired by her subjects for her kind heard
and underdog position against tyranny of those like the Duke. Overall she
is enthralled by magic and sees it as the salvation for Meridian. |
| Qerti'nya |
Kraanan |
Qerti’nya is very judgmental of the strength of those who come before
her. Blood and hellfire are the tools of this priestess, for only the strong

Although she delivers a powerful sermon, she is likely to go out drinking
with the men after it is over. |
| Tenuv'vyal |
Faren |
Hair unkempt and anger barely checked. Some say she is on the brink

like a raging storm. She despises civilization and feels humans must return
to the ways of the wilds. |

Shal'ille |
Clean and prim, this priestess of peaceful serenity speaks only kind
words. She even wishes peace on those of Qor and prays for their redemption. |
| Zuxana |
Qor |
The perfect servant of Qor the Vile. Shadows deepen where this malevolent
woman stands. She has a devious sensuality that she will exploit to turn
men and women to succumb to the dark will of Qor. If she can not seduce
others to Qor, she would rather see them dead. |

Magic Shop |
Zala is a slow moving woman who obviously enjoys the earthly pleasures.
She talks in a soft, husky voice between long drags on her clay pipe. |

in the warrior society of Ko’catan. She has also established herself as

language |
| Cital ko'Manca |
Captain of Guard |
As the one of the highest ranking officers in the Ko’catan Army, Cital
ko’Manca is serious and crisp in his duties. In peacetime these duties

by enemies unknown. Cital ko’Manca is extraordinarily young to have achieved
such a high rank, but he is well respected for his fairness and his adherence
to military law. |
| Xacal ko'Ixca |
Captain of Guard |
As the one of the highest ranking officers in the Ko’catan Army, Xacal
ko’Ixca is a tough veteran of many campaigns. His peacetime duties include

widely respected for his toughness and ability to get results. |
| Huital ko'Nosak |
Banker |
Well respected as the master of all monetary affairs on the island,
Huital pays close attention to the economy and how it relates to every
business. Before engaging in any new transaction of coins, he quickly washes
his hands in the pedestal of clear water. |
| Itzal cha'Nosak |
Vaultman |
Itzal’s often rude attitude and awkward bodily noises make him far
less popular than his fraternal twin, Huital. With a labored sigh and a
piggish grunt, he begrudgingly accommodates the needs of those who wish
to store items in the vault. |
| Chotal ko'Tulca |
Weapons Master |
An older man who is obviously blind in both eyes. With his every move
exacting and his every word said with forethought, this former warrior
defines the slow grace of a seasoned hunter. Noted for his keen ear, some
say he can hear those things that make no noise, like a frown or a doubting
thought. |
| Quetzal |
Language Master |
Brilliant yet begrudged by most of the island for his age, this high
pitched youth rose from an annoying bookworm to one of the most sought
after individuals due to his extensive knowledge of languages. He regards
most of the adults around him as intellectual inferiors who cannot appreciate
his mind. |
| Oxal ix'Tokak |
Bartender |
After losing his right arm in action at Balo na’te Din, Oxal was discharged
from service with the Ko’catan Army and assigned to The Barking Monster.

establishment, but Oxal performs the work with little apparent relish. |

for a new high risk investment. He greets you with a confident smile and
a clandestine gleam in his eye. |

Trade Master |
A remarkable man fallen upon a tough life, Distan was born on the mainland
and raised in the persecuted secret society of the last Riija School. Besides

little else is known about Wulfgang’s past. |

fine bows. |
| Bahal zax'Ot |
Mad Scientist |
Leering at you as if you were a potential subject for some twisted
experiment, Bahal smiles and chortles to himself. The moody little man

| The Monk of Riija
AKA, Priestess of Riija

Floating several feet above the ground, this enigma of a being watches
you. When it speaks, the monk’s voice crackles like century old parchment.

With a sickly sweet child’s voice and an unwholesome look of innocence,
the priestess of Riija welcomes you to her inner sanctum of reality.
|
| Parrin Aragone |
Minstrel |
Parrin is widely known across the land, but rarely spoken of favorably.
Although extremely gifted with the lyre, this traveling minstrel’s lyrics
and puns habitually bring groans of disgust from those who are forced to
listen. Rumor has it that Paddock has threatened to kill Parrin should
he ever set foot in Familiars again. For a generous tip, he may sing of
your exploits. For a bigger tip, he may even leave. |
| Jonas D'Accor |
Army General |
|
| Miriana |
Heretic |
Outcast by the religious community due to her blasphemous views of

Some call her a heretic, others a child, but all seem to find something
beguiling about the distant girl. |
| Maleval |
Dark Wizard |
You can feel that you are in the presence of a powerful warlock. Invasive
magic weighs heavily in the air surrounding this wandering sorcerer. His
knowledge of the intricacies of spell learning is unsurpassed, though his
public dislike for the temples has made an outcast of the Royal Court. |
