Cadence

• A Human Bard
• 25 years old
• 6′ ~ 200lbs (most of it: flair)

I true bardic fashion, Cadence can’t help but seek out the attention of others. Whether it’s his flamboyant dress and fighting style, or whether he’s spinning fire or a yarn to impress the crowd, Cadence is at the center of it all.

He is highly animated, speaks with his hands, smiles often, and is easily distracted. He does not bow to the pull of gravity and is frequently walking to the side of the road, climbing rocks, jumping over streams, sitting in the backs of chairs, and dancing on tables. His boundless energy is exhausting for those around him. 

He has recently taken to singing. He is mildly good and is constantly learning and making up new songs. Most of them are silly tunes like his lock picking song, but you can’t help but feel encouraged by his enthusiasm whenever you hear him sing. 

Derth ‘Dert’ Itolduso

• Human Sorcerer
• 5’10”

Derth’s dress and movements are all about not drawing attention to himself until the time is right. He is clearly very charismatic yet also restrained almost to the point of seeming distracted.

Kassandra Kane

• Human Urban Ranger
• 21 years old
• 5’7″ ~ 130lbs

Kassandra is dedicated to seeking justice for the common folk. She fuses ancient island wisdom with modern urban tactics to excel in investigation, stealth, and rapid response. By day, she upholds the law with precision, dismantling organized crime and corruption using her skills in tracking and close-quarters combat. At night, she transforms into a covert vigilante, infiltrating the city’s underbelly to expose hidden evils. Her vibrant island heritage informs her every move, blending tradition with modern survival techniques. Always resourceful and one step ahead, Kassandra challenges those who exploit the vulnerable and fights to bring justice to the darkest corners.

Although her parents were devout followers of Cadic—the enigmatic god of Murder and Music—she rejected their dark cultish practices at an early age. Determined to fight for justice and protect the common folk, she forged her own path, blending her island heritage with a dedication to urban law enforcement and investigative work.

Leathers

• Dog-Oggrel Rogue
• 21 years old
• 6’2” ~ 210lbs (most of it: fur)

Leathers is a transient sort of fellow who doesn’t have a lot of friends. Being born Oggrel in Dormyria, he’s marked wherever he goes. His quiet nature belies little in the way of personality. Despite all this, he is a Good Boi. 

Leathers’ keen hearing and sense of smell help him to track well enough, but his true strengths lie in his agility and dexterity. These combined skills allow him to flank enemies, disarm traps, pick locks, and mend almost anything made of leather. 

At a glance, the average person might judge him seedy and of ill-repute. However, those who know him well find Leathers a reliable source of information that is otherwise hard to find.

(K)Lorna

• Drom Sorcerer
• None-of-your-damn-business years old
• 3’4”

For anyone who’s spent any time with (K)Lorna, it’s obvious that she’s no stranger to hard work; she swings her mace with the strength and determination of one who has swung many a hammer in many a mine. Also obvious is her dedication to her school of magic, detecting the magical nature of items we’ve found.

Although (K)Lorna presents as a no-nonsense, no-bullshit kind of Drom (even to her own folk, she’s not to be trifled with), her adventuring party has come to realize that she has a heart of gold that’s in the right place.

The Drom who reside in the forest outside of Reschenford seem to hold a deep reverence for (K)Lorna, a fact which has not been lost on our party and has only deepened the mystery swirling around her.

Omiena “Mina” Abulrud

Half-Elf Cleric of Beltine, Chronicler of the Cauldron’s Whispers

A healer of great learning, and as generous of spirit as she is with laying-on of hands. Her enigmatic beauty is charmingly enhanced by her choice of spiritual weapon – a giant soup ladle – in homage to her goddess Beltine, Warden of the Afterlife and Keeper of the Cauldron of Souls.

Mina has made it her personal responsibility to ensure her adventuring party remains in excellent health, bolstering their defenses, curing disease and restoring health whenever it’s needed.

Mina’s history remains shrouded in mystery – perhaps because her dedication to her party has occupied so much of her time. It may also be that she is reticent to share what could potentially be a dark past, owing to the Olwyn-Human war that has raged in Maladien for centuries.

Rocky

• Human Barbarian
• 6’4” ~ 222lbs of pure meat

A man of very few words, preferring to keep his own counsel. Stoic and yet easily triggered by those who take advantage of others. Normally a rather tame individual until his rage is upon him, and then he is first into the fray, protecting the vulnerable and wreaking bloody havoc with his Rage Hammer.

Often found in the company of his crow familiar who brings him shiny trinkets as a sign of affection.
