    Player Characters 

Bomilcar and Hamilcar Barca [Dead]

A pair of miscreant Orc brothers, Bomilcar and Hamilcar have a turbulent relationship strained further by opposing stances on the nature of their careers as bandits.

Associated Tropes

Cleos Warren [Dead]

A young knight from the Gloaming North stranded in the South, Cleos strides to be the model of chivalry and bravery. However, this is hard to uphold when you live as a mercenary in a continent filled with amoral warlords.

Associated Tropes

Saturk of House Ur-Shamas

Once the simple son of a butcher, Saturk, a Krotem (Crocodile man originating from the swamps of Quelosq), has recently won a great and bloody melee in the Rivenstone of Hakeshar. For this great victory, he was inducted into a local Great House to serve as a Bannerman. He is a proud worshiper of The Bull (The God of Strength and Ambition) and is quite absorbed by himself in the wake of his new social standing.

Associated Tropes

  • Man Bites Man: In his melee to become a Bannerman, Saturk fatally ate the face off of a towering cyclops who was favored to win.
  • Rags to Riches: It only took a raw face to bring Saturk up from the streets of Hakeshar's urban sprawl, to the position as Bey of a small fief of pecans.

Subon Naroul

A bug-eyed native of the port city of Quelosq, Subon is a member of the Temple of the Deep, arguably the most powerful organization at work in the city. A fanatic and patriot, Subon has an unflinching sense of duty and an unflinching hatred of those who refuse his dark master's will.

Associated Tropes

  • Cynical Mentor: Subon has one of these in the form of Donulos, a wood-toothed senior priest of the Deep who treats him as though he were still a child.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he is a fanatic zealot, Subon does have a softer side to him. Notably, when he gave a river boat captain a small fortune as a thanks for saving his life after a close encounter with a swamp creature.
  • Odd Friendship: Subon and Ebor-Arsai. One is a staunch human from Quelosq, and the other is a laid-back Krotem from a small tributary village. Both a priests of the Deep, and have a mutual understanding, if not more.
  • Parental Abandonment: A young Subon was given to the priesthood as a gift from his father, a local fishmogner.
  • Reassigned to Antarctica: Subon was forced to stay in the backwards village of Eshmun for a time after botching a mission trip.
  • The Fundamentalist: Played straight. Subon is a hardline follower of the Deep and is automatically hostile towards any heretic or heathen that crosses his path.
