Amongst the surfacers were such faces as Senator Ronan, Captain Aelthas and Cerulean Knight Lycka, as well as the Oghman priest Terren and Sharessan priestess Hedia. Inside, several nobles of Oscura and other notables such as Pyotr the Guard Wizard, Maxmilian Locke, Thoth III Sakhmet, Vakdal Kyzanos and Bernard du Lorraine were known to be present for whatever happened.
