Non-Player Characters

## Athkatla

**Agent One**: A cowled wizard that saved Amari, Ryker, and Albrek from the angel of Shar (and maybe Selune). He pricks their fingers to see if they have used any arcane magic and threatens to fine them for the damaged automated cart.

**Cain Val'Moira**: Draya's brother. A young man dressed in reds and blacks. He has short red hair and red lines across his face and arms like Draya. These lines are the source of their arcane power.

**Carla**: A merchant of "particular wares" in Athkatla. She was travelling with a goliath partner wearing a collar at the grandmother's party. She's a human woman with black hair and orange highlights. She runs an arena battle at the party which we enter Schale into. He has to face a troll that they "found" and captured for the party.

**Carrion Goldspire**: A tailor and a "family friend" of the Val'Moiras. He invites himself to Draya's grandmother's death day party in exchange for some extremely high end clothing. When Livea is trying to kill Draya under suspicion of stealing the grandmother's amulet, Carrion gets her and the rest of the Twilight Gryphons out of the party. Carrion is the one who reclaimed the amulet though as it was originally his, and sells it to Draya later. On the way back from Athkatla, he helps the Twilight Gryphons escape the pirates for a price and as Ryker is negotiating that price, he moves from whimsy to a more predatory demeanor. Albrek is playing a game with him that Carrion will give Albrek a teleport pearl if he correctly guesses what Carrion is. He has unlimited guesses and if he loses, Carrion gets 2 things from Albrek's warehouse. Albrek has ruled out god (but he's been described as godly), Waukeen, human, Mercury Dragon, and The Serpent so far.

**Copper and Carrot**: A pair of drug dealers at the grandmother's party. Copper is a slightly heavy set balding man wearing an ill-fitted suit. Carrot is a young girl maybe 10-12 years old with dirty red hair. They apparently used to deal to Draya a lot before she left home.

**J'yoda Diwala**: The volcanic dragon we convinced to leave from Dragonspear Castle. He's established a mining company in Athkatla and has been proposing himself as a fourth member of the council. He has built himself a castle and has a residence in the Scepter District. His humanoid form looks like a tanned man with dark red hair and a dark red line going through his right eye and down his face. Diwala's invitation to the Val'Moira's grandmother's party got "lost" so he had to come talk to Livea to get invited. The Twilight Gryphons later go mining in the Plane of Earth with him. He asks to keep the key to the Plane of Earth after their lucrative expedition and they Amari offers to sell it to him instead. He declines and leaves, a bit grumpy with the party.

**Thayze Selumchant**: Leader of the Selumchant family. A young looking man, he doesn't look much older than Amari. His skin is very fair and he has medium blonde hair and blue eyes. He introduces himself to Za'ahir and Amari after the arena battle. He says he wants to do business with them and invites them to his estate. Amari says she'll pencil him in and he laughs at her audacity and calls it "refreshing". Cain tells Amari that the Selumchants own all magic, magic items, and anything pertaining to the arcane in the city.

**Unnamed Swordsman**: A man with teal long hair, a musketeer style hat, and a dark gray suit that was the only person to arrive alone at the grandmother's party. He kept to himself at the party and mainly just sat by the far wall. When in line to say their final goodbyes to the Val'Moira matriarch, Amari, Za'ahir, and Cedric are in line behind him but he has no interest in speaking with them.

He has brown skin, bright white hair, wears a cloak with a wave on it, and carries a staff with a sea shell. He is a wizard that specializes in water magic and has agreed to help Amari with the liberation of Calimport because they helped him get a gem of potent magical energy that was once the treasure of his people, but was sealed in a Sunken Temple. The Twilight Gryphons learn that this gem houses Leviathan when they manage to get it from the temple. The party says he needs to give them more information for them to return the gem and he finally introduced himself as Ayamar.

**Dreaming Dark**: An entity that is possessing Bashile to get to Amari.

**Lionel Ruthiel**: Nephew of the current Water Baron. Though Water Baron is an elected position, he sees himself as the acting Water Baron of the city of Yartar. After the war, he comes to Amari, asking to release Rose though he does not tell Amari how he heard about her. After Rose's betrayal, Finra'el's people torture him and Albrek gets information out of him. He says he heard her voice in his head and told her about his jealousy towards the Madam. He apologizes and says it won't happen again, but Amari lets him sit with Finra'el's people the rest of the day. She gives them instructions not to touch him, but to talk about what they could potentially do to him while he was in earshot.

## Miscellaneous

**All Knight**: A 6'6" man with long slicked back hair, a massive smile, a tower shield, a long sword, and red, yellow, and blue armor. He's a gold ranked adventurer from Baldur's Gate, though he keeps the fact that he's from Baldur's Gate a secret so his enemies don't attack as he is "the Greatest Adventurer who Ever Lived". His nemesis is "Omnas Ego" the undying lich and the Twilight Gryphons are to help him through the lich's dungeon. All Knight falls into a trap almost immediately though and they end up meeting him back in the lich's chamber. He has told the party that the lich's phylactery is his mace so they try to attack, but Omnas has an aura of undead protecting him. All Knight destroyed the barrier and Omnas fled. Amari reached out to All Knight just before the War with Bane began and he showed up just after Amari died. He was instrumental to the Yartar forces and left soon after.

**Finra'el Melarn**: A drow with tied back white hair and bright red eyes peering out over purplish-black skin. He represents a collection of operatives who assist in war time efforts. When we meet him, he is dressed in a modern suit, full coat, and has a white fur pelt over his left shoulder. The party hires his company for assistance in the War with Bane for 500,000 gold. After the war he tells Amari if she needs to contact him for future work, she can ask about "shadowed masks" in any major tavern along the sword coast and he'll hear about it. He also specifies that she should give her name so he doesn't send someone after her instead.

**Galveon**: A frost devil who serves Azragoth - Baron of Stygia. He was sent to Yartar to protect the commander with his army of devils at the end of the second day of the War with Bane.

When questioned by Amari, the name Azragoth seemed to ring a bell in Bart but he vehemently denied knowing the name.

**Sahnit**: Old "friend" of Albrek's. Worked with him in service of the Raven Queen until she stabbed him in the back after a siege on a genasi village where he saved a little girl.

**Shaw**: A man that may be hunting Ryker. He knows this person from the couple memories that have surfaced and in each memory, Ryker loses a duel to him.

A powerful fighter from Eastern Shar, she commands elite troops and is skilled in most forms of martial combat, but usually uses a scimitar and shield. She has tan skin, a strong build, and a half-shaved head with reddish-brown hair. She's known to whip her troops into a frenzy and "allegedly" has never lost a battle. During her battle in the war, she kills Amari before being cut down by Iram. (dead)

**~~Jegran Karn~~**: Commander of the Bane Army. Known as the "Commanding Storm". He's an experienced and powerful spellcaster and a cleric of Bane. His origin and age are unknown, but he has been participating in war efforts for at least 100 years. (dead)

**~~Kaida~~**: A lieutenant in the Bane Army. Known as "The Sniper". She's a legendary archer from Alm. A blonde elven woman, she can shoot longer and more accurately than anyone but was thought to be dead. Ryker killed her during the second battle of the War with Bane. (dead)

**~~Malik~~**: A lieutenant in the Bane Army. Known as "The Mournful Executioner". Not really known for his great war efforts but he is infamous for eliminating targets. He's known to have a flaming bastard sword but his features are not commonly known as he wears a heavy hood. (dead)

**~~Quoria~~**: A lieutenant in the Bane Army. Known as "The Writhing Shadow". She's a user of dark magic and potentially necromancy. Originally from They, she's not typically in the forefront of battle. She has pale skin, heavy robes, long black hair, and black pupil-less eyes. She was the last general alive at the end of the war and sent a torrent of wraiths at the rest of the Yartar army as the Twilight Gryphons confronted Jegran. Many reported that they saw her dead body on the field, but Albrek is attempting to confirm. (presumed dead)

**Rose**: A young woman who showed up hurt at the city gates of Yartar a few days before the war started saying she had been traveling from Everlund and was attacked by Bane soldiers. Amari kept her locked away in a room during the war under the guise of "keeping her safe" but forbid Finra'el's spies from interrogating her in case she was just an ordinary woman. After the war, Amari let her guard down and invited Rose to the celebrations where she attacked the Madam, soulbinding her to herself. Amari, catching the tail end of this, immobilized everyone in the area with the Sharn and tied up Rose so Ja'soor could take her to the dungeon below.

**~~Vals~~**: A lieutenant in the Bane Army. Known as "The Subjugator". The Twilight Gryphons killed him before, but they presume he was brought back to life by Bane as a punishment for losing to them. They kill him again in the first battle of the Bane War. (dead)
