'Sigh. Another mysterious, highly skilled assassin, with a difficult child hood and black clothes. Oh. This one has knives in his belt, not his boot. Well, at least it is not a Drow. '

Warriors or bandits, terrorists or freedom fighters - depends on your point of view really

After a long day on the road, what could be more inviting than a hot meal and mug of ale - just don't criticise the cook

A blind mage with a liking for sound-based magics

A form of magic whereupon talismans are grafted to the skin in order to grant power.

Some time magic users are less magical than one expects.

Two cynical and witty old pentioners watching the world go by and commenting on it.

Faster than the wind, this Red Cap Messenger flies (okay, okay, runs - but you get the idea).

Corina Archerus is a researcher and a wizard. She is also completely blind.

Need some extra muscle, Ugg might be your man - if you don't mind having to explain EVERYTHING to him

Chae lives to serve, and ultimately die in that service, if need be. As a Bushi-Killian warrior in the service to Lord Kim, he focuses upon his given missions & tries very hard to stay part of the crowd. When on assignment, Chae is a relentless, dedicated, slayer of men.

Sharry is a typical Formourian street urchin. Her name is a corruption of her given name, Michele of Ryanhold (where she's from). She gets by on scrounging for scraps, begging, and the occassional opportunistic theft.

Crunk is a typical sailor aboard the privateer Blue Raider. The ship sails from Formour, but like most of its crew, Crunk is from Osterre. As a Half-Orck, Crunk always has something to prove, and a chip on his shoulder large enough to throw his posture off.

A small fish in an even smaller pond, Marcus Dominitan is the harbourmaster of the port of Al'Alaric. A petty man with a big ego and greed to match, he is not above taking bribes to allow unlawful cargo, or to hire thugs to assault those he dislikes.

He is a merchant of fine wines and the only source for sparkling wines in the region. His formal politeness makes him seem like a friend.

This is the place for minor characters and extras. These are just personalities and some minor skills ready to be thrown into your campaign.

Pyre, first of the five elemental armors.

The Fifth element is that of Spirit, and thus the providence of PrayerCrafters. As Spirit moves, so does the other elements, as there is a connection between them. One is the shadow of the other. When there is a connection, it is always two way. Thus we can manipulate the spirit through the use of the other elements, and obtain healing through the use of non proscribed magic.

The Hand is the most important tool in magic. It can be used to trace symbols, focus attention and concentration, and allow for easier manipulation of mystical flows by tying certain actions to similar hand gestures. It is the ultimate tool of civilization.

Among the Centasi, especially those of the northern regions (a peculiar debased form of opera is performed among the islands of the north of which we shall not speak), there is no more beloved, ancient, and respected art than opera, that wondrous blending of theater, song, and orchestra. And there are no more respected composers of opera among the Centasi, whether ancient or contemporary opera, than the late masters Signore Anlar Parlat and Don Hazhizhab Takl. Their masterpieces, Phantom Snake and Don Han, respectively, are iconic to all Centasi.
