Minor NPCs

*"For every hero or villain who finds their name written boldly upon the pages of the history books, there are several persons who seem relegated to the footnotes of history. Despite their lack of fame (or infamy), each is an individual in their own right and each has their own story."*

Amarim of Malfarbar

## Henfyd

### Valejo

#### Zamoska

##### Arkun Gorth

Inn keeper of the The Gibbet in Zamoska, Arkun is surprisingly soft spoken despite his size and fearsome demeanour.  Quiet and unassuming, he takes his position as doorman for the White Ravens seriously..

##### Dannika Roan

The main deputy to Sherriff Drej, Dannika is second in command of the Zamoska City Guard. Although dedicated and thorough regarding her duties, she is not without a sense of humour and is well liked by the citizens of the town.

##### Descant

Gnome servant at The Wagon and Horses in Zamoska.  Along with his twin sister, Melody, he aspires to becoming a bard. As such, he is more likely to be found on the small stage in the inn then attending to his duties, something that is actively encouraged by the landlord, Dylas.

##### Drej

Leader of the Zamoska City Guard, Drej is stern and, seemingly, without a sense of humour. The protégé of the former sherriff, he finds the weight of the his position to weigh heavily upon his shoulders.

##### Dylas Thoman

Owner of the Coach and Horses Inn in Zamoska, Dylas is a half-elf who likes to project a moody and distant persona.  As an aspiring poet, he welcomes anyone who can add a little “culture” to his establishment.

##### Fra Oce

The current spiritual leader of Zamoska, Fra Oce is a dedicated member of the clergy.  Beneath his kindly and pious demeanour, lies a steely and determined core.

##### Jeleneath Homebody

The main cook at The Gorgon in Zamoska, Jeleneath is a kind and motherly woman of middle years. Following the murder of Lepota, the Inn passes into her hands.

##### Kordus Greatforge

Owner of the finest blacksmiths in Zamoska, Kordus is the epitomy of a dwarven businessman –blunt, direct and canny.  Folowing the murder of Vlado, he is elected as the new mayor of Zamoska.

##### Lepota Roubard

The only daughter of Maldri Roubard, owner of the Zamoska Glassworks, Lepota quarraled with her father over his treatment of her half-brother, Mahtan.  Turning her back upon her family, she opened Gorgon and settled into life as an innkeeper. Beautiful and flirtatious, she made The Gorgon one of the most popular inns in Zamoska, aided by her close friend Jeleneath Homebody. Following her murder, ownership of the inn passed to Jeleneath.

##### Melody

Gnome servant at The Wagon and Horses in Zamoska.  Along with her twin brother, Descant, she aspires to becoming a bard. As such, she is more likely to be found on the small stage in the inn then attending to her duties, something that is actively encouraged by the landlord, Dylas.

##### Rodava

Owner of the theatre in Zamoska, Rodava is vain and conceited.  Despite this, he is hardworking and is determined to make the theatre as successful as possible, thinking it will only benefit the town. *(Rodava also has a secret identity as the main co-ordinator of The White Ravens in Zamoska).*

##### Scree

Kobold servant and assistant to Arkun, Scree relishes his position at The Gibbet in Zamoska. Rather dandified for a kobold, he is talkative and always in danger of revealing too much about his master’s position in The White Ravens.

##### Vlado

For many years, Vlado was a successful businessman in Zamoska, having his fingers in many pies. Eventually, he was elected mayor due to his ability as an administrator.  While everything ran smoothly, he filled the post effectively. However, once things started to go wrong, he had a tendancy to go to pieces.  Following his murder, he was succeeded by Kordus.

### Jenovir

#### Bielli

##### Alionn Rossenn

An outwardly terse individually, with the weathered appearance of one who spends his life on the water, Alionn hides a kindly and generous personality. When not on his boat, he spends much of his time in The Blue Wyvern in an attempt to woo Dinia.

##### Bariss J'nsan

A regular patron of The Blue Wyvern, Bariss uses the innocent appearance of a young halfling to good advantage in his career as a successful con-artist. Able to adopt a pompous, buffoonish character, most people don't realise they've been swindled until it is too late.

##### Cobol, Disson and Larras

Three dockworkers in Bielli. Not too bright, they spent their off duty hours in The Blue Wyvern drinking, bragging and looking for a fight. Dinia tolerates their behaviour as they spent a lot of money in her Inn and, if needed, will take care of any trouble makers who may cause a ruckus in the establishment.

##### **Dinia**

Dinia is the proprietor of The Blue Wyvern Inn in Bielli. A half-elf of middle years, she is quite willing to allow most degrees of illicit trading in her establishment on two conditions – such business is conducted with discretion and she gets a cut of the profits. As such, she knows the majority of Bielli's underworld by sight and is on speaking terms with a large proportion of them.

Outwardly, Dinia displays a welcoming, easy going nature but is quite to anger if the rules of her establishment are broken.

##### Ellias

Ellias is the son of Dinia and husband of Neela. Working for his mother in The Blue Wyvern, Ellias has aspirations to become a bard but lacks the talent and charisma necessary for such an undertaking. Nevertheless, he will insist, after a few too many ales, on getting up and singing in front of the tavern's patrons.

##### Goneril

Elegant and stylish, most people who encounter Goneril is one of Bielli's lower class inn and taverns would mistake her for a noble lady slumming it for the evening without realising that she is one of the town's most accomplished thieves.

##### Neela

Neela is the wife of Ellias and works in her mother-in-law's Inn. Happy go lucky and good natured, she is often embarrassed by her husband's bardic aspirations but, generally, keeps her mouth closed on such occasions.

#### Cenza

##### Brunhilde Grumbledelver

The local blacksmith, Brunhilde is taciturn and short tempered. However, she is as honest as they come.

##### Bruno Whitbotham

Halfling owner of the local shop. Bruno is a stereotypical halfling – red cheeked, round bellied and cheerful.

##### Esme Whitbotham

Wife of Bruno, she is as friendly and cheerful as her husband but a little shrewder when it comes to business dealings.

##### Gauward Dery

Born in Albana, Gauward is the local priest of Morphen and, alongside performing all funeral rites for the village, maintains the local church along with Valdamir Rishkov. A gaunt looking young man, he takes his duties very seriously and has little in the way of a sense of humour.

##### Helena Pelesco

Daughter of Riana and twin sister to Marja, who helps her mother in the inn. Looking very much like her twin, Helena is blonde and outgoing.

##### Marja Pelesco

Daughter of Riana and twin sister to Helena, who helps her mother run the inn. Marja is slim and dark with a shy but friendly nature.

##### Riana Pelesco

Since the death of her husband, Riana has run the local Inn, The Happy Goblin. A stout lady of middle years, her years of toil are visible in the grey streaks in her hair and the lines of care in her face. Despite this, she has a good heart and will never turn her back on someone in need.

##### Sindaco Marius il Grasso

Marius is the Sindaco (Mayor) of the village. A former soldier, he served with some distinction in the armies of Jenovir and, upon retirement, returned to his home where he was elected mayor. Popular with the people, he is an able administrator and, despite appearing as something of a coward, he has a rod of iron deep in his core.

##### Valdamir Rishkov

Valdamir is the local priest of Herralin who tends to the multi-faith church in the village along with Gauward Dery, priest of Morphen. A native of Kirsch, Valdamir is a middle-aged man who has held the position in Cenza for some years after his old friend, Marius, invited him to settle in Jenovir. As with all the clergy of Herralin, he puts the well being of the people above all else.

## Stora Isinn

### Marefell

#### Svarturis (Black Ice)

##### Odhagan the Blue

Odhagan is an elderly wizard who, in his youth, was something of an adventurer. He has, in recent years, retired to Black Ice where he hires adventurers to retrieve object from the frozen city which he passes on to his contacts in other towns and cities across Arcania. Conceited and self-important, he is known for not paying those he hires very highly so, unlike most of the collectors in the area, he does not have a regular group working for him.  Instead, he will hire whoever is available at the time.

##### Snibbert Klomunbiss

A gnome who regularly hires adventurers to retrieve objects from the frozen city of Svarturis. Quick talking and jolly, he pays well and, should adventurers prove trustworthy, he will place them on retainer.

##### Throdgreck Bonebraids

A dwarf merchant and rival of Snibbert, Throdgreck is not the most ethical of merchants.  A shrewd businessman, he maintains a outward appearance of joviality.  However, he is not above having his employees waylay those of his rivals to steal whatever they have found.
