| 1 | The Tropical Lands encompasses the south of Koldenwelt's eastern continent. It is an area predominantly made out of large extensions of jungles and plateaus, and the climate is warm and humid. During ancient times, it was mostly dominated by the ruthless [[TheEmpire Orichalcum Elf Imperium]]. A number of races live there, the most prominent being the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Khargrim Greatholds]], the largest dwarven empire in modernity. However, the region holds its dark corners; at the far east is the sub-region of [[{{Mordor}} Abyssus]], a battered wasteland which serves as the home of the [[TheEmpire Legion of Shiarchon]] and its successors, while at the far west resides the sub-region of [[PollutedWasteland Qliphoth]], an area infested with poisons where only the most fit and aggressive can survive. |

Stubborn as a mule and fierce as a lion, he is nonetheless a caring and protective man, which has earned him the admiration of his people and many others beyond dwarven lands.

| 54 | A monk of the Bheldaral sect, dedicated to the teachings of [[PhysicalGod Thunardormir]], Kvo Eirik was assigned to Jalaric Hathgar during his exile in order to guide him to the path of redemption. However, he has secrets of his own; upon birth, he received a blessing from Thunardormir himself which granted him unfathomable power, though for most of his life, he was too afraid to use it, fearing the destruciton he could potentially cause. |
| 55 | |

| 57 | |
| 58 | * AlmightyJanitor: He holds the strength of gods, though he spent most of ''The Goldhawk Chronicles'' hiding it from his friends, choosing to simply carrying their equipment and sometimes offering some pieces of advice. |
| 59 | * ArrowCatch: The first sign that he was more than just a pacifistic monk was when Riomara witnessed him grab a crossbow bolt in midair with his bare fingers in ''The Goldhawk Chronicles''. |
| 60 | * BadassBoast: Directed to Khosrovhreiar as he was beaten into a bloody pulp. |

He believed that it was not for him to decide who should die or not, and that even if he used it, he [[PowerIncontinence wouldn't be able to control it]], fearing it would lead to disaster. Only after speaking directly to Thunardormir some time after the events of ''The Goldhawk Chronicles'' did he fully accept who he was. |
| 65 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: Being blessed by the dwarven god makes him not quite a common dwarf anymore, though other than that, his skill is all his own. |
| 66 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Prince Jalaric Hathgar. |
| 67 | * LetsGetDangerous: When he was forced to reveal his full power in ''The Goldhawk Chronicles''. Many bandits died horribly soon after. |

| 72 | * TheSmartGuy: During ''The Goldhawk Chronicles''. |
| 73 | * ThouShaltNotKill: During his early days, he held a particularly strong belief that his gift should not be used to kill.

| 1280 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: She didn't take Eryxhreion's death well, drinking herself into unconsciousness the night after. |
| 1281 | * LeeroyJenkins: Quite reckless and eager to jump into danger without any planning. Without Tassarion's guidance, she wouldn't have lasted long. |

| 1301 | * DistressedDude: Became this in ''Steel of the Plagued Land'' when he was afflicted with Mivtanreior's Frenzy, turning the adventure into a race against time to find him a cure before he was lost to TheVirus. |

| 1318 | |
| 1319 | A cruel and skilled member of the Grim goblin race, Anklebiter was beaten in a fight with Khara Greenforge and then made to travel with her. He would do so for the sake of riches, as he had no reason of helping her in her dreams of becoming a hero. |
| 1320 | |
| 1321 | ---- |
| 1322 | |
| 1323 | * CardCarryingVillain: See his quote above. Though due to being stuck with Khara, he didn't actually do any villainy. |
| 1324 | * DarkIsEvil: And he'd like you to remember it. |
| 1325 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: How Khara recruited him. Downplayed, as it was less friendship and more temporary cooperation. |
| 1326 | * FantasticRacism: He hates humans and other outsiders, who he sees intruders on the Duskwoods. |
| 1327 | * KarmaHoudini: Despite his mistreating of his "teammates" and general jerkassery, he left the group a rich goblin, without suffering any repercussions for his actions. |
| 1328 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Often spoke about devouring humans, or his party members, much to their dismay. Also often threatened to roast and eat his enemies' eyes. |
| 1329 | * NominalHero: Did heroic deeds up to ''Steel of the Plagued Land'' purely for selfish reasons. |
| 1330 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: He cared nothing more than the riches he could get by accompanying a party of adventurers. Once he got the reward for Mivtanreior, Syl-Rheah and Khebrid Aldraem's heads, he departed back to the Duskwoods to enjoy a life of retirement. |
| 1331 | * TokenEvilTeammate: In Khara's party, up to the point he left. |

| 1347 | * BewareMyStingerTail: Like all members of its race, it has a large stinger at the tip of its tail, which it can put to deadly use. |
| 1348 | * BreathWeapon: As expected from a creature like it, it can breathe a massive blast of poisonous gas. |
| 1349 | * EyeScream: Lost its left eye in a battle with a legendary Oevrumine hero (hence the name), who forced it to flee Qliphoth. At least at the time. |
| 1350 | * GiantFlyer: Fourty five meters long, making it the largest known Poison Drake. |
| 1351 | * JustEatHim: Tried to do this to Favniru in ''The Goldhawk Chronicles'', but was stopped before it had the chance. It did eat Norrigan during the fight, though the knight's armor caused him to become stuck on its throat, forcing the dragon to spit him out. |
| 1352 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: As a Poison Drake, Old Dead Eye resembles a massive poisonous wyvern with a stinger tail and a purple hide. |
| 1353 | * PoisonousPerson: As a Poison Drake, it's a draconic embodiment of poison magic. |
| 1354 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When the Goldhawks and Favniru overpowered it, it bailed out, giving up on its hunt for the Lighting Drake. |
| 1355 | * TheSpeechless: Only communicates in growls, roars and other animalistic noises. Poison Drakes as a whole haven't yet mastered language. |
