NPCs Outside of Town

## Vilkari - Tiefling(?)

Secretly part of Melraki's organization, Vilkari had infiltrated town upon Telziri Corp's Arrival with the assistance of Jackson. She had promised him extensive income for the town and to protect the town from non-residents in exchange for hiding her true nature and hopefully peaceful relations in the future. To insure her cooperation, she was not allowed to purchase a home or property so she herself could never become a resident. During her stay in the bar, she would assign secret tasks to the players and reward them handsomely for their efforts. This helped her collect reagents and harvest energy from specific actions such as betrayal, trickery, or death. Once she had all she needed her plans needed to be pushed forward due to the release of a Dragon. So she got an adventurer to buy her a house and then (as a resident outside of her deal with Jackson) performed a large ritual to abduct a large number of people from town. She then altered them and set them against the adventurers trailing her. It seems like a bit of a waste as many of her new creations / servants have been slain but perhaps she has some strange other motive? After this she has retreated to the Large Forest to the South to set up a new base of operations. Vilkari appears to wear robes similar to Melraki's but purple and she favors a large over-sized witch's hat to a cowl and face coverings.

## Melraki - Human(?)

Melraki was first introduced to the party when trying to stop them from destroying a ritual corrupting the forest known as Terrance. While not claiming direct responsibility, he at least seems to be associated with the action. He wears large red layered robes that seem to have many fabrics patched together. His face has always been covered. He seems to be part of a larger group, the two other's so far confirmed to be in this group are Vilkari and Shakiri. All three use arrow based rituals and seem to have the ability to control others with long silvery strings that weave out from under their robes. Melraki has provided some assistance by closing one of the dragon doors but this seems to have been more out of fear of a dragon escaping than general helpfulness. He has also helped one of the Adventurers get a higher strength stat.

## Arthan Maldova - Human

An old man who arrived somewhat recently. He is on the run from the Valmourn and rode out from town in search of assistance in the Vilkari incident before their arrival. He has not been seen since.

## Jackson Jenkins - Devil

Jackson had been in town posing as a human worker. In reality he is a Business Class Devil sent by the Telziri Corp to watch over the town and Jessira's progress. He made a bad deal with Vilkari as detailed above and has fled town with the Valmourn arrival. He seems to have some memory manipulation powers as well as contract and litigation magic.

## Kusav Kellari - Tiefling

Kusav, used to be the port contact in Dallowshire but recently joined up with Vilkari. No one seems to be too broken up about this as he was kind of a jerk.

## Auruminus Voxellium - Draconid

Auruminus is a strange Draconid that has been seen outside of the jungle. According to his reports, the Ancient Reptilian Hisseren Empire still remains active in the Jungle to the West. He has been friendly in to the adventurers he has met, despite killing one who attacked him agressively.

## Ferrum Tellius - Serpent Priest

Ferrum was seen by the party that raided an ancient Hisseren temple and freed the dragon buried there. He appears to be a member of an ancient priesthood that monitors the slumber of the dragons. He told the party he wanted to awaken his brothers using a staff in the bottom of the temple. Removing the staff from its holder seems to have opened the door sealing the tomb. The party killed Ferrum but his parts that had been taken as trophies have since disappeared. Auruminus stated that these priests could regenerate in the presence of a dragon.

## Jobrak the Immortal - Orc

Jobrak the immortal claims to be over 2000 years old. Various rumors and stories from other NPCs seem to confirm this. He is a massive Orc always seen wearing very ornamented full body plate armor and carrying two large Great Axes. He is the head of the Jobrak Tribe of Orcs, the major power on the continent so far. He promotes martial prowess, racing and strength above all else. He forbids is people from entering the Jungle to the west and the Mountains to the North. He seems weary of Melraki's group and the Draconids as he requested that the adventurers "Deal with" Auruminus when he entered the desert to investigate the usage of the teleportation network.
