  Blodeuwedd Status: Alive Appearance: As a dryad, Blodeuwedd has greenish woodgrained skin and dark hair. Public Knowledge: Originally an inhabitant of the Feywild, Blodeuwedd was tied to a stand of interconnected magical trees not unlike the grandfather oaks that once could be found in the Rawlinswood. Coveted for their magical powers by a group of exiled sidhe, she was found nearly dead and badly traumatized. Thanks to timely intervention by some adventurers however, her stand of trees was awakened into sentience and plane shifted to the Prime Material Plane. As the trees she's bound to are now mobile, she travels throughout Narfell and the Great Dale with them, though she mostly keeps to the forests in order to keep as low a profile as possible with a shambling mass of trees. The Grandfather Oaks Status: Alive, Awakened Appearance: The Grandfather Oaks appear to be several distinct oak trees, whose bark appears to have a slight pearlescence upon close inspection. In actual fact, however, the individual "trees" all share a common root system, and they are one cohesive being. Given how dense their roots are, there is a small, roughly circular patch of land about ten meters across that's being held up between the individual trees, giving a sort of platform for Blodeuwedd (and any passengers she takes with her) to ride upon. A large standing stone sits in the middle of this circle, shimmering with magical energy. Public Knowledge: The Grandfather Oaks are related in some way to the trees by the same name that once had a stand in the Rawlinswood, before being destroyed. Unlike those trees, however, these are mobile and intelligent, and defend themselves vigorously from any real or perceived threats. Unable to speak due to being trees, they are still quite capable of understanding others. They are never seen without the dryad Blodeuwedd being nearby.

  Elder Mistwalker Status: Alive Appearance: Mistwalker is a towering hulk of an ogre whose body is covered in multitudinous grotesque scars, from wounds which by all appearances should have ended her life. Public Knowledge: Mistwalker is a druid, and one of the elders of the Circle of Quercatha Terr, which watches over the Rawlinswood. A druid of Eldath, it's said that she was once among the most fearsome warriors of the Giantspires. Following grievous injuries sustained in a failed attack on Peltarch, she found herself unable to continue on to the ogres' territory, and instead chose to seek solitude and quiet for her final moments in the shrine of Eldath. While lingering on the knife's edge between life and death, she claims to have had a vision of that goddess, and from that moment on, dedicated her life to peace and tranquility. A druid of no small power, she nonetheless refuses to use those gifts to cause harm to any living creature, regardless whether it reciprocates those feelings.

  Peltarch Defenders Flag: Physical Description: The soldiers wear green armor when equipped and out in the field, and dark blue dress uniforms when at military functions or at city hall. Currently, most soldiers in the military appear younger than 20 summers, though the higher ranking lieutenants and captains appear older. The military flag is a stylized shield on a green backdrop. Public Knowledge: The Defenders are Peltarch's military, and make up the bulk of its ground forces, including cavalry, and also comprise its navy. They are led by General Frederic Del'rosa, a seasoned veteran of many wars. He is known for his charisma, pragmatism, and patience. Opinion is divided between those who consider him a capable statesman and the others who say his flexibility can at times border on about-face. More common is the opinion that Del'rosa is the only General able to reconcile the divergent opinions held by the military's captains: Captain Reyhenna Jorino is another veteran, though younger than Del'rosa and known as much for her hot head as her string of military victories and accomplishments. The most notable of which is her purge of the military of the defector Far Scout Commander Smoke and his traitorous supporters. She commands a regiment of loyal soldiers, though many were recruited from questionable mercenaries who were more interested in gold than the army, some who have hitherto left Peltarch altogether. The Captain Jorino is the most controversial among her peers due to her involvement in domestic disputes, the most public of which against the Seafarer Organization in the Docks. Captain Autumn commands a battalion of archers and a regiment of ground forces. She used to serve as Captain Gom's Lieutenant. She holds a reputation as a skilled marksman and a specialist in hit and run tactics and ranged, asymmetrical warfare. Captain Renius Hrresh commands Peltarch's navy. Hrresh is an experienced naval officer and one of Reyhenna Jorino's closest allies. His expertise is in naval combat and he has won numerous ship to ship battles. Captain Gom commands Peltarch's cavalry forces as well as the remainder of its ground forces. He and Captain Autumn are reportedly good friends. Gom's years of service in the Peltarch military out-number each of the other captains, and he is known for his abrasive attitude and loud, frequently offensive demeanor. Higher-ranking military officials and military historians, however, praise his strategic decisions. The Defenders have certain notable lieutenants: Lieutenant Varya Tiller is heir apparent to the Tiller Barony. She is known for her zealous and often outspoken sense of duty as well as her kind personality. She is a known Chauntean and uses divine magic in combat, and was at the forefront of the recent liberation of Porttown, having escorted innocent villagers to safety and protecting them from bandit slavers. Lieutenant Scott Grimm is a reputedly ruthless and pragmatic soldier who is willing to make hard decisions some military observers have called ethically questionable. Grimm is considered politically savvy, and has secured a seat on the Royal Council, representing the Commerce District. Due to low morale, a bad reputation, and severe loss of troops over the past two years, Peltarch's military has dwindled to a fraction of its functional size. As consequence, Peltarch has lost control over a substantial portion of its land holdings, including fishing ports, mines, and logging operations. In reprisal, immediately following his re-appointment by the Regent, Del'rosa has created a task-force intended to carry out his military campaign to regain control over the land holdings Peltarch has lost to bandits and local insurrections. The task-force has already secured Porttown, the largest fishing bay east of Peltarch. It is considered a major victory against bandit-slavers. That said, many of Peltarch's holdings remain under hostile control. For the first time in recent history, Peltarch's theatre of war is close to home in land it has lost to a well-equipped and surprisingly organized federation of bandits, the leader of which is currently unknown. Thematic Music: Theatre of war.

  Geoff Portrait: Physical Description: In life, Geoff was bald and sported a spruce mustache. In his current form, he is skeletal and gaunt, and typically wears robes to cover his flesh-less figure. Public Knowledge: He used to be alive, until Varya Tiller killed him. Allegedly he was killing people to create an undead army. He denies this allegation and threatens to unleash an undead army on anyone who reminds him of it. Anyway, during the confrontation, he apparently wanted to finish his meal, then a plate of rice and beans. This request was denied. These days, Geoff wants to watch the Nars burn, and consume whatever he can in the process. Thematic Music: Fuck the world.

  Misc 4: Knock on the Door (Far Scout Edition) "The Coyote" The Coyote is the working alias of a Far Scout within Peltarch with a knack for information gathering and a decent repertoire of assassination skills. Coyote has a reputation outside of Peltarch as an information broker willing to sell information to any faction who pays him enough, and while his prices are steep his skills are unquestionable. If Coyote doesn't know it, he will know it soon enough, or so the saying goes. With no loyalty to anyone but himself and his coin purse, Coyote is a valuable friend to have if you have money... just try not to spill the beans around him. Else those with money will soon know all your secrets... "The Scorpion" Alias of one of the newer active Far Scouts under Coyote, known for his expert work in poisons and his love for "gas barrels" which are... pretty much exactly what they sound like. There are rumors that like Coyote he often sells out his services as a "scout" to other factions, but such things are clearly just rumors. Due to inhaling his own mixtures quite frequently he has a tolerance to them, but also claims he hasn't slept in over 3 years. Either way he's slightly odd. Tends to hire adventurers to hunt rare ingredients or set up his contraptions. "The Falcon" Simultaneously an expert at stealth and incredibly unstealthy. The Falcon is very good at stalking targets through civilization and the wilderness, but tends to announce himself loudly when he actually engages. More of a duelist than a traditional Far Scout, he fights flashily with a shining rapier, and has an almost chivalry-esq code of honor when it comes to combat, which perhaps explains his habit of announcing himself to his enemies. Like the others, there are rumors about their mercenary tendencies and secret shopping. Tends to hire adventurers to deal with problems he's self aware enough to know his way of combat would make troublesome. "The Jackal" Formerly a professional assassin working for the Elysium, a secretive assassin guild operating around Damara and other regions. Allegedly he's just there to do his job, and doesn't tend to hire himself out (or sell secrets) for profit. But the others in Coyote's group suspect that his real purpose, and the reason Coyote tends to keep him around within their circle, is to kill the others should they ever threaten Coyote's profitable ventures. The Jackal works surprisingly close with his niece, who he trains in the art of assassination. Doesn't hire adventurers, and only rarely shows up with Coyote if there is a threat of danger. "The Octopus" Another member of Coyote's inner circle of spies and cheats. The Octopus isn't actually a Far Scout, and is just the alias known to Coyote's men of a clerk within City Hall who has a particular knack for forgery and ensuring that some of the more troublesome things they get up to remain buried under red tape and misdirection. It is unknown if Coyote actually knows who exactly the Octopus is, due to the Octopus's paranoia in dealing with Far Scouts with "greedy hearts." Tends to send out coded messages to specific adventurers (usually with rogue-ish or morally questionable backgrounds) when he needs some outside help, and pays the best of all of Coyote's circle. But his missions tend to be espionage related, with a lot of deniability and the risk of being left by yourself in a dangerous situation if things get out of control.

  Beeble Ravelzilch Current Status: Resurrected but elsewhere. Killed in plot finale: "The Mystery of the Eye." Resurrected in plot-line: "The Sense of Self." Portrait: Physical Description: Beeble Ravelzilch appears as a floating, singular, lidded eye that glows a strange orange at the iris with a black pupil. His or 'its' eye is emotive, expressive, and attentive, and leers at whatever it watches with great interest. When Beeble speaks, the orange glows slightly brighter. His voice is a gibbering mess of overlapping sounds and noises, each of which contrasting with the other; however, his tone, usually, is infinitely cheerful and optimistic. When angered, however, it grows into a deep, dark boom, and his orange glow tinges red. A certain select few have seen behind Beeble Ravelzilch's appearance as an eye, beneath it a different physical shape. Who they are or what that is remains a mystery for the time being. Public Knowledge: Very little is known about Beeble Ravelzilch, other than that he invades people's sleep. Some say he is a mage versed in enchantment and illusion magic; others, still, that he is an entity that lives in the region of dreams. Well-read folks might consult some books that do speak of certain, specific creatures that exist there. Connected, learned, and noble-blooded individuals hear a few rumors too. Apparently, Beeble has been active in Narfell for some time, though people are only now slowly beginning to realize and remember the dreams he has invaded and what has occurred in them. A few of the aristocratic nobles in Peltarch that attended the recent masquerade ball hosted by house Hemway claim to have overheard some of the adventurers speak of him. Apparently, the adventurers rumored to be in the masquerade experienced a shared dream. Isolde Garibaldi, Roslyn Underhill, Leena Lynn Rayfe, Artemis, and others have resisted Beeble Ravelzilch and conducted an investigation into what it is, where it came from, and the secretive sect surrounding the creature's creation and continued existence. People utter of the Night Parade sect, and many of this organization's members in Peltarch (including members of minor noble houses, such as House Finhund and House Whitedune) have been caught by the lucid dreamers/investigators and imprisoned by Captain Talbot under charges of conspiracy against House Hemway. The Cerulean Knight, Tristyn, who worked with the lucid dreamers and investigators closely, apparently double-crossed the investigators but was caught; he has also been imprisoned under charges of treason and conspiring with the Night Parade. The investigators have also weakened the entity by creating and distributing enchanted dream-catchers, apprehended the members of the sect surrounding the entity, rescued Garric Hemway, and acquired the magical materials they need to enter the dreamscape, brave its dangers, and face Beeble Ravelzilch directly. Horgrim Blackweave assisted with the process, and rumor has it that the investigators succeeded in killing Beeble Ravelzilch. They came back, apparently, with a brown-haired, plain looking halfling girl. Thematic Music: A lullaby relentless.
