## Kali

**Kali** is an elven Sorcerer whom the party encountered at the desecrated church in Fisc. She was infatuated with Ofidrin, and beside herself with grief after he sacrificed himself to save her life. However, Saber aided her in raising Ofidrin from the dead with the sale of Kreb's equipment.

While aboard his ship, the party met both Red and Alice, events which traumatized the man.

The party later met him again when leaving Arcania. Drex summoned the Monarch of the Creeping Fog to assist the party in their travels. The party expressed great surprise when the ship that arrived to ferry them contained none other than Captain Mov, revealed to be the very same Monarch Caspian they were searching for.

## Mutrek

**Major Mutrek** is a Drake-Kin Samurai who once served in the Le Gao army, leading the drafted soldiers of Hemu in purges against the people of Le Gao. According to Saber, he deserted the army with a caravan of thieves, which led to the government of Le Gao purging the village of Hemu next.

The main party met Mutrek in the Stal Empire by chance while traveling to the Golden City, having passed through a forest filled with a massive amount of dead vermin. There, Saber initially reacted with hostility, but later invited Mutrek to Verastrea to continue their conversation, where he is currently providing aid in the war effort.

## Naazil

**Naazil** is an advisor to Warlord of the Running Sands Tribe, Aamir Al-Yasin.

## Nawu

**Nawu** was a leader of a group of orc bandits who had taken over a fortress on the river between Sudas and Jormundar. While sailing with Captain Mov, the Main Party had attempted to negotiate safe passage to prevent an attack from Nawu's catapults.

Saber lost his temper and assaulted the massive orc, resulting in a battle in which Tholgar Ironfoe lost his life.

## Ofidrin

**Ofidrin** is a human Paladin whom the party encountered at the desecrated church in Fisc. There, he was slain in battle when he used an artifact to exchange his life for that of Kali when she succumbed to a cloudkill spell.

The party first met with Ruven when Lusine Vavrad sought him out in hopes of information about Jormundar's political state. The Main Party, then consisting of Lusine Vavrad, Saber, Sobek, and Tholgar Ironfoe, delivered a letter from Warlord Bayviper of Sudas that explained how Skan Jormundar faced an imminent threat from the Cult of the Rift.

The party met Ruven again after their first expedition into the caverns beneath the city. Upon returning, they discovered that Tarnished Gold had taken hold over the town, and that Anna was missing from the Adventurer's Guild, where the party had left her. Fortunately, they learned that she was with Ruven, whom had himself been abducted by Tarnished Gold's regional leader, Stoluk Fronrer. The party determined Stoluk's whereabouts at the city's black market and engaged him in combat. Upon his defeat, they freed Ruven from his captivity.

Later, the party consulted with Ruven again after delivering the letter to Jar Mak'in and meeting with Kreed Anders. He agreed that the two could be difficult to work with, and reminisced a bit with Lusine before the party departed.

After the fall of Skan Jormundar, Ruven now provides aid to Verastrea in the ongoing conflict in the area.

## Stoluk Frenrer
