A priestess-turned-bouncer because of her devotion to her faith.

A gravedigger who defies the stereotypes. A regular at the Mausoleum.

Why did you buy all those Iron Spikes?

"You may have wondered what lead me down this path? It was the simple observation I made while escavating the tomb of an ancient chieftan If only these bones could talk…"

From the personal account of Meridah Onware, in discussion with Professor Siana Tamar.

"... I *hate* being right."

Thirty princes.  Sons of kings, rescuers of princesses.  Or something like that.

"I don’t like that one.  He’s creepy.  There’s something not right in the head with him.  Course, I don’t much imagine that’s uncommon here, but he goes further than the rest of ‘em.  I think he actually *likes* what they do to him."

The Book of Hammerskjold

"There are ideas that are so fundamental that without them, civilization could not exist.  The most inviolate, the most important, is justice.  If men do not hold rigorously to what is just, then society cannot live.  I will not allow those who would ignore something so vital simply because it does not suit them to persist in doing so."

Squinzerephtoritzpik, aka Squints, is a simple small time scumbag informant who happens to be from a tribe of goblins with a unique body modification tradition…

Stonedeath is a goblin assassin, but much more than that. His new form allows him to scale walls, fight with uncanny agility, and above all that; he has a hatred for adventurers.

“You must seek the counsel of the oracle Edros.”
“Do we *have* to?”

Standing at the prow of the ship, Ashala rejoiced at the strong winds catching her midnight-black hair - flapping it like a pennant.  The dark clouds ahead would have filled other seafarers with dread. Not Ashala.  The dark clouds and wicked winds were an invitation, a challenge.

"Steady as she goes!" she shouted over her shoulder to the shipmaster, "To the Eye!"

Blessed be are those wed beneath apple tree

Common Falk Saying, the Midlands

Mercenaries and bounty hunters? We don’t need the help of scum like that.

Vice-Admiral Koszcu

Every soldier knows he may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. What he doesn’t always know is the depth of the other sacrifices he may be called upon to make.
