People of Teiros

## Faction Leaders

##### Mother Riannia

The de-facto leader of the Ratkin underground. She protects her people and they look to her for advice and aid. On the surface, she has no involvement with the criminal side of the pit. She is secretly the head of “the Whisker Crew.” Her main headquarters is an orphanage for Ratkin where she raises and trains young Ratkin to survive the harshness of the world. They also serve as message carriers between her various associates.

## Storefront Owners

##### Betsy the General Store Owner

An Ogre woman, she runs a simple general store for people in the city. She enjoys painting in her free time and has some of her favorite works on display in the hopes someone would like to buy them.

##### Franky “The Boom Boom Guy”

Runs a ramshackle shop in the pit selling “boom boom powder.”

##### Ghahena the Adventurer’s Supplier

A wolfkin woman, she keeps a shop full of the kind of supplies the average adventurer might need. She also tailors form to fit armor to any adventurer’s willing to offer the coin.

## Tavern/Inn/Restuarant-Keepers

##### Adelia, Master Chef

She runs her restaurant “Adelia’s” in the Residential Heights. She’s a middle-aged half-elf of almost amazonian proportions. She has a fiery attitude and an almost permanent grimace. Her specialty is sea-food and crepes. She spends a premium to make sure only the freshest, safest ingredients enter her kitchen.

##### Spats the Cook

A molekin, the tavernkeep at the Drip and Sizzle. They like to talk about “the younguns” a lot. They’re generally well liked by most people in the underground. Their primary agenda is to raise the public opinion of molekin as a whole and try to save the molekin youth from leading revolutionary lives that could put them and their people at risk.

## Featherguard

##### Detective Soucntente

Birdfolk detective, a member of the Featherguard in Teiros. He only wears his uniform during featherguard funerals, opting typically for street leathers. He’s considered somewhat of a black sheep because he spends more time in the Pit working on cases involving the Trowels than on cases involving the good folk of the Residential Heights.

##### Detective Ukkendar

A duck birdkin with a sharp look to his eye and sleek green feathers. Unlike the enforcers, he wears a tie and a less combative uniform.

##### Qlicia

Female Condor Birdkin enforcer. Muscular and lithe. Known to be an effective pursuant.

##### Razzapia

Brown Eagle Birdkin enforcer, and Qlicia's partner. Is very uncomfortable dealing with traumatized witnesses but for some reason always ends up in charge of them.

##### Dead Specialist Ririma

An Elf under special contract for the Featherguard. She uses a secret magic of the elves known as Nac'Bnolmio (necro-biomancy) to attempt to recover and interpret memories of the dead.

##### Verrelo

Mousekin. Arcanist investigator for the featherguard. He wears a light featherguard uniform with blue embroidery around the cuffs and collar.

## Topside

### Workshops

##### Arcanist Revallo, Professor of the University

An older mousekin with big round glasses. He teaches artificer history and studies mechanical contraptions. One of Krela's old professors, he's a generally by the book arcanist with old wisdom and loyalty to his students. He isn't easily fooled but he trusts Krela.

##### Arcanist Trellemue

A mysterious figure in the workshops. Tall, blonde, with hazel eyes. Outwardly in charge of overseeing a number of projects related to the city's infrastructure and regarded as an Arcanist first and a Businessman second. He seems well connected in many circles of both ill and positive repute.

##### Arcanist Vemulo

A mousekin of the workshops. Arcanist Vemulo has a love of knowledge and a readiness to share for the right price. His job typically is to craft tools to improve the mining process in different parts of Murdova but he makes a great deal of money on the side selling parts to hedge artificers.

##### Bentley, Mercher of the Sky

A finely dressed goblin in a sleek, dark tailcoat. He makes most of his money bridging the gap between seaborne goods and goods entering the docks of Teiros. He has a love of gambling, specifically “tinker tankard,” a trick-taking card game. He has a somewhat manic attitude and an old radio announcer’s voice. He also has a taste for Carello, a hobgoblin owned still of rum. He makes some trips to Portova but oftentimes he travels directly to Tir Aluin to deal with his goblinoid cousins directly.

## The Pit

##### Brie the Waitress

The newest waitress at the Drip and Sizzle and a molekin.

-"I'm sorry I'm new, I have two little mole-lits and I work for tips so don't be an ass."

##### Gestint of the Smeltery

A human woman in charge of the refinery in the pit. She has a beleaguered attitude and thick muscles around her shoulders and thighs. Her hair is kept in a pixie cut to prevent it from burning. She wears thick leathers for the same purpose and goggles she fashioned herself. Her skin is pale from all the time she spends underground but she does have a number of scars. She won’t tell you where they are from though.

##### Harken the Musician

A goblinoid Ogre who plays the Coppertwang at the Drip and Sizzle.

##### Scratches

The first member of the Whisker Crew the party is going to meet. He wears a bronze gear on a chain around his neck, and is wrapped in clean, white linen clothing with a simple black cloak around his shoulders. This is Krela’s primary point of contact to the underground. He frequently commissions Krela to fix weapons for the Whisker Crew to sell back into the community at a discount.
