Dulmor Earthmantle is a male dwarf NPC in the Emeron campaign.

Dulmor was an adviser to Thane King Farim Ironbreaker and one of the prisoners of a Spider Person at Horsehead Peak rescued by the Joined of Vesper in 1159. He returned to Thorgain City with them, in spite of his rather advanced weight and lack of physical conditioning making the journey rather tough on him.

## Background

Dulmor was born into the well renowned and wealthy Earthmantle family. Dulmor found his strength more in social and occasional scholarly pursuits rather than the physical, and proved well suited to running a number of the family businesses. As he grew more wealthy and renowned he came to the attention of Thane King Farim Ironbreaker, who invited him to court to advise him on economic matters, however the king soon enough began asking him for his thoughts on other topics as well.

In 1098 Dulmor was kidnapped from his bedchambers and replaced by a Spider Person. While the creature took Dulmor's shape and identity and began advising the king in secret, Dulmor was secured in a cocoon that halted his aging and bundled away to Horsehead Peak.

## Rescued

In mid Bear of 1159 Dulmor, alongside several others who had been held by the Spider People, was rescued by the Joined of Vesper. He returned to Thorgain City with them, spending some of his time riding on one of their mules because he was rather fat and out of shape and would slow down the entire journey otherwise. Due to his awful physical conditioning the journey was rather tough on Dulmor, but he did his best not to complain.

Dulmor arrived in Thorgain City only to find that his impersonator had hired a pair of assassins to try to slay the Joined of Yotia, who were taking refuge in the city. The double had been discovered and fled the city, leaving the people of Thorgain thinking he was the culprit.

There he encountered the same FOSB unit that once hunted them, the crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem*, now outlaws themselves and also seeking to join up with the Iridonians as well.

The Iridonian representative, Daqua Dar, decided that the two mercenary crews should engage in a non-lethal combat to see which one would be hired.

Darro, however, opted to cheat and smuggled a number of blasters into the contest and immediately used them upon the crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem*. This decision led to his undoing, as his opponents retaliated with lethal force of their own.

His death was a picture of poetic justice, slain using the lethal weapons he smuggled into the battle, including his own blaster pistol, and with the death blow delivered by Jirany, who had defected to the crew of the *Eclectic Mayhem* due to Darro’s treatment of her. His corpse was decapitated by Les Karif.

## Fulton's New Lord

On the 14th of Unicorn King Koris Woodbridge died of illness. Sir Lazrith, as a Royal Knight, rode to Emeron City to offer oaths of fealty to the new queen, Joycie Woodbridge.

Lazrith, in conjunction with a number of other knights later dubbed the Sinister Seven freed the women from prison an fled the capital.

The Crown stripped Lazrith of his title and lands, awarding Fulton to Dame Vonya Loxton instead. When Vonya arrived she announced her orders were to execute Lazrith's squire, the 14 year old Arocan Gialiadin III.

Arocan's father was one of the Sinister Seven and it was hoped this would bring him out of hiding and potentially lead to the whereabouts of the others. Much of Lazrith's court objected to this. However Dame Vonya had orders directly from the Crown for Sir Winston Templeton and Captain Fredias Charahad to march east to stop an invading undead army, leaving the rest of the court with little force to back up their objections.

A short time later Vonya's arrested most of the rest of the court claiming they were plotting to release the Arocan. Unable to do much to help the good people of the keep Harin kept his eyes open and contented himself with spitting in Dame Vonya's food as well as adding a number of other less savory ingredients.

Fortunately assistance came when the Joined of Vesper came to Fulton. They worked with Roneiros and Lazrith's inquisitor, Xoybar Ventlivym, to overthrow Dame Vonya and free Arocan and the rest of the court from the dungeon. On the night of the overthrow they passed through the kitchens, where Harin made it a point to be working that night instead of his apprentice so he could studiously "not see" anything amiss happening.

Harin is 6’2” and stout with a noticeable belly. His brown hair is thinning and he has watery blue eyes. His near constant love of low grade halfling weed has left his teeth a greyish yellow and a rough scar that he refuses to discuss mars his left cheek.

Beneath his gruff exterior is a heart of gold. He would frequently sneak pastries to the children of the household sending them off with a friendly “now go fuck around somewhere ya little shit, eh?"

He is victim to the typical vices of his kind; drinking, whoring, and gambling.
Hennod

Hennod is a human male NPC in the Emeron campaign.

Hennod was the employee of a jeweler in Reikland, having arrived in the town sometime in Horse of 1159. He was a spy or agent of the Alliance, though his specific purpose in Reikland is not known. In Lion of that year he received a letter from a spy in Lyzol stating that Shren, one of the Joined of Vesper, had been spotted and was heading his way.

A cleric of Kanar named Alton, who'd also been advised of Shren's movement, arrived the same day as Shren and together with the local blacksmith's apprentice (and Galmar worshiper) Bullen, the three kidnapped Shren from his room at Margo’s Rest Good Inn.

They took Shren back to Bullen's house and tortured him for an entire day, attempting to elicit the location and any intelligence about the rest of the Joined of Vesper. Shren proved stubborn, however, and provided no information despite being tortured, healed, and re-tortured repeatedly. Ultimately the trio deduced that they would get no information from the ratman and contented themselves with destroying one of the pieces of Vesper's avatar by killing him. Knowing that the massive burst of light that resulted would bring attention to them, the trio fled Reikland, heading south towards the Brokenback Swamps.

While fleeing south, the three men entered Sanlow, which was on the cusp of being attacked by a force of Bullywugs, Troglodytes and Lizardfolk led by Druzaak. The three did their best to damage local morale by telling dim tales of the war on other fronts. In the eve of the battle the trio assassinated Sanlow's mayor, Talim Alador, and the captain of the guard, Menton Myrwood, in the night. The three then fled the village to leave it to it's fate.
Delilah Farmeski

Delilah Farmeski is a female human cleric of Farmesk and one of the Joined of Vesper played by Shak in the Emeron campaign.

## Associations

### Affiliation

Battle Nuns of Farmesk, Joined of Vesper (aka The Notorious Nine)

## History

Delilah was born in a brothel somewhere in the City States of Ziran in the Eastern Realms. She has no strong memory of ever knowing her mother and was generally raised by the women of the brothel as one. When she was quite young the brothel was raided and destroyed, she does not know by whom.

The survivors were rescued from the raiders by the Battle Nuns of Farmesk, who took in the children and any of the women who wished to join their numbers. Delilah was raised by the Battle Nuns and trained in combat, weapons use and the teachings of Farmesk. Delilah took the last name of "Farmeski" when she reached adulthood as a show of devotion to her diety.

Delilah left the convent in search of worth causes to take up arms for when she vanished in a flash of light and awoke days later in the Kingdom of Emeron with the rest of the Joined of Vesper.

## Personality

Delilah has a fiery and forceful personality. She enters battle with a zeal unmatched by most that sometimes seems to border on bloodthirst. She is often quite outspoken, with her suggestions usually involving violence as a means to resolve a problem. Delilah has also expressed a general distaste for men in general, possibly due to her early childhood experiences. In spite of this, however, she has engaged in sexual relationships with them, such as her brief affair with Beybulat (even thuough she tired of him and the dalliance quite quickly.)

As with all Battle Nuns of Farmesk, Delilah wears a hood or shawl to cover her face and only removes it when necessary. She also has a fondness for jewelry and baubles, even though they are unseen due to this covering.

## Abilities

Delilah has been trained by the Battle Nuns of Farmesk in the use of nearly all weapons and she is competent with all but the most rare and exotic of them. Additionally she is able to call upon the might of Farmesk to aid her in battle, heal herself or her allies and destroy undead.

Delilah is a shrewd haggler and is able to assess the value of precious gems and jewelry and bargain for the best price.

Last, but not least, the Battle Nuns of Farmesk have trained Delilah as a midwife and she has assisted in many births while at their convent.
Anviltop

Anviltop is a settlement in the Om campaign.

Anviltop is one of two Dwarven settlements in the Thunder Hills on the continent of Elira. Anviltop is more cosmopolitan than Hammerfel, the other major settlmeent of the Thunder Hills. Anviltop is home to the Urgar, which means “people of the sky.”

Anviltop is a growing community that welcomes outsiders and the trade they bring. The Urgar built their city atop a large, flattened hill they call the Anvil. High walls of stone, watch towers, and a honeycomb of subterranean chambers make it a formidable defensive structure. Inside the walls can be found shops, inns, dwellings, and a huge open air marketplace.

The population of Anviltop is growing, but at a much slower pace than her rival Hammerfel. Her citizens have more of a tendency to travel and adventure than most other dwarvish societies and many never return.
Fontulroy Abare

Fontulroy Abare is a male human NPC in the Emeron campaign.

"Yes, men, onward for my glory!"

## Summary

Fontulroy Abare is a cousin to Godgis Abare. Though a capable enough warrior in his prime, the years and easy living of nobility have left him overweight and out of shape by the War of Alliance. Nevertheless, he answered the call and commanded the Rupmon Ducal Cavalry during the Battle of the Bridge, where he acquitted himself remarkably well, personally leading two cavalry charges, one that destroyed a unit of frog mounted Bullywug warriors from the Boglicker Tribe and another that crushed a unit of Lizardman footmen from the Sneakfang Tribe.
Hulbar Onfre

Hulber Onfre was a male human warrior and an NPC in the Emeron campaign.

Hulber Onfre was born in Kehak in the Barony of Federan. He was in the town guard there and had been part of a few skirmishes with barbarians of the Plains of Galmar. After his term of service was up he took up a job as a bodyguard for a trader named Iggy Olivero. Iggy mostly operated in Southern Rupmon so Hulber relocated there

## History

In late 1158 Iggy and Hulber traveled to Redwyne. While there both men were kidnapped by acolytes from the Temple of Guya and dragged to the Brokenback Swamps and mentally enslaved by a Naga who dwelt there. The cult the Naga was forming was slowly taking over Redwyne and had already taken full control of the temple and several other key members of the town. Due to his combat experience Hulbar was installed as a deputy by the town's constable, Grover Ruskadell, who was also under the Naga's control.

### Incident at the Golden Grain Inn

On the 2nd of Lion, 1159, the constable's office was alerted to a disturbance at the Golden Grain Inn. Knowing that the Inn was one of the centers for the cult activity, Grover sent word to the Temple of Guya (the other center) and hastily gathered a group of cult members to investigate, which included Hulbar and his fellow (enslaved) deputy, Donavan Allard. Grover and Donavan approached the Inn to investigate they were met at the door by the Joined of Vesper.

Grover quickly determined that the Joined had slain the cultists within the Inn and demanded that the Joined surrender themselves, threatening to attack in force if they did not. The Joined refused, though Froderik Penderghast provided Grover with a letter and stated it it would clear everything up.The letter turned out to be a ruse, however, and when Grover read it the document detonated in a magical explosion that killed him and Donavan and damaged the Inn.

What followed was a massive battle between the Joined of Vesper and the assembled forces. The Joined proved victorious, and Hulbar retreated to the Temple of Guya with the surviving clergy and acolytes. They had managed to capture on of the Joined, Raskin Daggermaw, however. Abramo, the head cleric of the church and one of the Naga's slaves arranged their entire forces in a defensive posture in the temple, awaiting the Joined to come for Raskin.

### Battle at the Temple of Guya

On the 3rd of Lion, the day after the battle outside the Golden Grain Inn, the Joined of Vesper attacked the Temple of Guya searching for their captured companion, Raskin Daggermaw. Hulbar was among those inside, and they had warning the Joined were coming because of the watch dogs outside of the temple. One of the clerics, Misha Devi, cast a spell of invisibility and one to initiate a powerful combat rage upon Hulbar, urging him to use his invisibility to strike at the best time.

When the battle erupted Hulbar slipped behind Delilah Farmeski and injured her. However he was soon set upon by Rolla, who worried Hulbar's leg furiously. While he fought off the dog Shren hit him with an alchemical ice bomb, killing him.
Devroth

Devroth was a male half-elf fighter in the Emeron campaign.

Devroth was a soldier in the Lurinlund Baronial Calvary. He was an excellent soldier and rider, but was often passed over for promotion due to his race. Eventually, after many years of diligent and excellent service an officer willing to judge him on merit promoted him to Coronet, making him the standard bearer for the unit. Devroth was immensely proud of this.

In 1159 word of an undead army marching on the Plains of Galmar towards the Lurinlund border was detected, and Sir Valin Taire rallied the army and a number of hastily collected conscripts to march east and meet them. Coronet Devroth was with this force.

## The Battles of Undying Rage

Sir Valin led the Lurinlund forces against Mingolf the Soulcrusher's undead in the First Battle of Undying Rage, the Lurinlund forces were soundly defeated. The force pulled back to the town of Hardale, where they were rallied by Sir Winston Templeton and reinforced with soldiers from Fulton and Hardale.

Devroth was served under Sir Winston and fought in the Second Battle of Undying Rage. Again, the force was defeated and the officer core was decimated. Devroth found himself as one of only two professional soldier officers who survived, along with Ensign Altair who was the standard bearer for the Lurinlund Footmen. The army retreated back to Hardale again.

As the army was retreating Sir Winston's niece, Edella Montfort, arrived with the rest of the Joined of Vesper. Due to the lack of leadership Edella claimed command of the army as Acting General and led the force to Hardale.

## The Battle of Hardale

The army regrouped in Hardale and prepared to defend it against the undead force. Acting General Edella Montfort placed Beybulat Tasho in command of the Baronial Cavalry. This caused some dissension in the ranks, as Beybulat was a Galmarian (though one from a wholly different tribe than the ones in the enemy army.)

Devroth, well aware of what it was like to be judged simply due to one's race and culture, came down hard on the men demanding of them that Beybulat be given a chance to prove himself. He informed them that anyone giving anything less than their best or moving to harm Beybulat would answer to him. Sargent Remyn, the senior surviving non-commissioned officer backed Devroth and the men quickly fell into line.

Devroth fought in the Battle of Hardale, the Calvary proved vital to defeating the Galmarian footmen and horsemen under the command of Soldrol the Heartbreaker. Devroth attempted to ride down Soldrol, backed by several of the Lurinlund Footmen, but the monstrous barbarian proved too powerful and slew Devroth with his enormous maul.
Filthy Fifty

The Filthy Fifty is an organization in the Emeron campaign.

The Filthy Fifty is a mercenary company that operates in the Kingdom of Emeron. They are well known for dirty tricks, stealth, tracking, skirmishing and sabotage. Unlike many mercenary companies, they do not use a banner, and tend to keep their number roughly around fifty, as larger units cannot as effectively operate swiftly and stealthily.

During the War of Alliance they were contracted by Lord Walter Obert and fought for him on the side of the Alliance. They were instrumental in helping Lord Walter’s forces taken Norris Keep and capture the estate of Keypton. Several members snuck into the keep on the eve of Lord Walter’s assault and assassinated Sir Cecil Torton and his wife Lady Narri. Without their leadership the defense was not coordinated properly leading to Walter’s victory.
Hitchens

Hitchens is a male human NPC in the Om campaign.

Lord Hitchens is a Gildornian noble living in Dunkirk. His family fortunes have fallen on hard times and he was offered a tidy sum by Baron Webb to silence Decius “the Messenger”

## History

### **Background**

Hitchens was from a noble family but they had fallen on hard times and had little coin or property by 465.

### **Attack on Decius "the Messenger"**

In early Twins of 465 Baron Webb offered Lord Hitchens a substantial amount of coin if he was able to "get rid of" Decius "the Messenger."

 Decius had been speaking out against the Baron’s corrupt practices squeezing the farmers and peasants by forcing them into exorbitant loans for grain and tools. These activities earned Decius the disfavor of both the baron and the elders in the Church of Jamor

Hitchens gathered a few hired goons and on the 7th of Twins, 465, he prepared to attack Decius and attended one of his street corner sermons. The crowd began to grow unruly but and Hitchens ordered his minions to attack Decius in the confusion. It was Hitchens' bad luck that the day he chose saw Wu Xen and Jasper Conroy in attendance. The two caught wind of Hitchens' ill intent quickly. Decius dispersed the crowd with his magic and Hitchens and his goons withdrew.

Still needing to do away with Decius, Hitchens and his goons went to his house that night. To their surprise Jasper and Wu were still with Decius, and combined the three men defeated Hitchens and his thugs, capturing them.

Under questioning Hitchens revealed his orders from Baron Webb. Wu forced him to write a confession and then kept it, telling Hitchens that if he wanted to keep it buried that he would have to speak out against Baron Webb's predatory loan practices and against his baseless smearing of Fernstead.

Hitchens reluctantly agreed to Wu's demands and was released.
