| Dramatis Personae |
| Below is a listing of the major player and non-player characters in our story! This page will be updated fairly often, as new individuals are introduced. |
| Jenna of Muhar |
| It was with great relief that Zeke and the others discovered that Kazandra was lying about Jenna's fate...the lovely Har'Akiran swordmaid is alive and unharmed. She has accepted Zeke's love for Isandriel as equal to that which he bears for her, and submitted to their wishes when the two dark elves decided to send her to the relative safety of Forlorn. Escorted there by Prince Loht, Jenna now works to help Saben and the Druids heal the land. Tall, lithe and blessed with a delightfully-curvy figure, Jenna carries an almost otherworldly-beauty, and her full, pouty lips and enchanting kohl-lined eyes draw much attention her way... oftentimes unwelcome attention. Height: 5’7 Weight: 130 Age: 21 Hair: Dark red Eyes: Teal Profession: Kensai Level: 11 HP: 90 |
| Dougal MacRoyan |
| reliable and tough as the hills he mines. Dougal has been in the story since Tehran, and has been trying to retire for some time now. Recently manipulated by the Sorcerer into leading a squad of dwarves to Castle Silvertress, Dougal is quite ready to settle down and focus on important things, like drinking, feasting, and getting rich. Height: 4'11 Weight: 205 Age: 166 Hair: Bald, black beard Eyes: Hazel Profession: Fighter Level: 13 HP: 193 |
| Ilyana D'esele |
| on the run. Now a Spellweaver of potent arts, the raven-haired Vistani is fiercely loyal to Kazandra, though it is not apparent why. Ilyana has developed a dangerous addiction to Sorcery, and seems willing to do whatever it takes to increase the magic at her command. She also realizes, however, that the current struggle is practically out of her league, and Ilyana has little desire to face off against the horrors of the Kargatane. Height: 5’4 Weight: 115 Age: 16 Hair: Black Eyes: Apple green Profession: Gypsy Level: 14 HP: 80 |
| Miguel Wolflocke, Captain of the Raven |
| If Zeke is to be believed, than Captain Miguel is now serving as the host for what may be one of the vilest creatures to dwell even in this dark, dark world. Once a powerful and arrogant mercenary captain, Miguel is now possessed by Jergal Blightfang, the long-forgotten Kargat Master. Between Miguel's physical prowess, and Jergal's horrific command of dark Sorcery, he will be a force to be reckoned with indeed, even by the standards of what our heroes have faced down and survived to date! Height: 6'2 Weight: 195 Age: ? Hair: Black Eyes: Green Profession: Fighter Level: ?? HP: ?? |
| Zeke Maeghym |
| The drow hunter known as Zeke has changed, perhaps, more than any other during the course of our story. He began as a borderline-psychotic sociopath, hounded by relentless voices that urged him to hate and inflict pain upon all women he met. Since then, Zeke has freed himself of this fell influence, and his heart now belongs to two beautiful, beautiful women: the Har'Akiran swordmaid Jenna, and the dark elven warlock Isandriel. Isandriel's capture by some fell power of the Demon World has pushed Zeke to the very brink...he has bargained with the enigmatic Dagon, pledging service in return for a way to enter the Demon World and rescue his darkly-beautiful lover. Zeke has become a truly-deadly swordsman, and a skilled Sorcerer as well. With his two lovers, he has great plans to carve out his own empire from the newly-freed domains of this world. Height: 5'8" Weight: 160 lbs Age: ? Eyes: Dark Red Hair: Silver Profession: Bounty Hunter |
| Mariel Wulf |
| Mariel Wulf vanished amidst the battle for Silvertress Castle, struck unconscious in a duel with a powerful Kargat Vampire. Her current fate remains unknown, but it is likely NOT a kindly one. Yet even an active imagination could not possibly due justice to the horrors this beautiful young blonde now faces. For she has escaped once before from the tortures of Jergal Blightfang...but that was BEFORE he possessed a mortal host, and you can be certain that he will not make the same mistakes... Mariel has fallen in love with both Loht and Arijani, but sadly, she will likely never need to make a choice, since the fate that awaits her now is a truly horrible one. Height: 5’6” Weight: 125 Age: 19 Hair: Blonde Eyes: Sapphire Profession: Paladin |
| Jal Jansen |
| Jal has come a long way indeed from his humble beginnings...he began our tale as a wanderer, with some small skill in Spellweaving, but little experience. Now, he is one of the most powerful Sorcerers alive, and has achieved his objective of connecting with others like him: the beautiful, mystical Fey, all but extinct in the Dark World. Jal is deeply disturbed by the loss of Adhira, Sir Galen, and now, Mariel, through. Jal has developed strong relationships with many of the unique and diverse people that he has come in contact with during his travels, including Prince Loht, Maeve, Zeke, and Kazandra Silvertress. Height: 5'7" Weight: 135 Age: Unknown Hair: Black Eyes: See picture? Profession: Beguiler |
| Sir Galen, Knight of Nechuvar |
| Sir Galen was a loyal friend and a great champion of the people. Beguiled by Kazandra's subtle enchantments, he fought against the group in the Falkovnian-Darkonese battle, defeating Mariel in a duel at the onset of the clash. Galen was at least freed of Kazandra's manipulations by Jal, and was furious with his supposed friend for what she had done to him. Nonetheless, when Kazandra was about to be killed by the avatar of the fell god Gwydion, Sir Galen saved her from death, at the cost of his own life. He died by the same code he had lived by his entire life, without regrets. Height: 5'10 Weight: 185 Age: 41 Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Profession: Holy Knight Level: 14 HP: 119 |
| Naieline, Queen of Muhar |
| Once the high priestess of Ankhtepot, Naieline fell into disfavor when she crossed him and told Mariel that the ritual the Dark Pharoah had planned would mean her death. Rescued by Rashid and Miguel from the dungeons of Pharoah's Rest, Naieline accompanied our heroes to Sri Raji, where she took up the mantle of a Dark Sister, As such, her part in our tale seems to be over. Height: 5'6 Weight: 139 Age: 38 Hair: Black Eyes: Bright hazel Profession: Priestess of Kali Level: 10 HP: 67 |
| everyone else, to strike a pact with Jergal. Why and how remain unknown, but he stole the Void Crystal from Kazandra and returned it to the true Master of the Kargatane. Rashid's command over the Way makes him a truly dangerous enemy, for Sorcery offers few defenses against this esoteric art. Although a master of the Way of the Unseen, and an accomplished bounty hunter by trade, Rashid's true calling in life is in belittling people with expertly-delivered snarky remarks. This Athasian elf makes rudeness a way of life and has elevated being obnoxious to an art form. Physically, Rashid is very tall, and possesses the incredible genetics of his Athasian heritage. He wears voluminous black robes that cover his lean, wiry frame. He wears his spiky silver hair cropped close, and one eye is covered by a dark patch. Height: 6'8 Weight: 175 Age: ?? Hair: Silver Eyes: Gold Profession: Psionicist Level: ? HP: ? |
| Rashid the Serpent |
| Kazandra Silvertress has been revealed at last as the Dark Mistress of the Kargatane--yet has made an unlikely ally, for she knows better than any the horrors that the world now faces. Her former master, Jergal Blightfang, has returned, and has completely usurped the Cult of the Kargatane from her. On the edge of despair, Kazandra has recently found her strength once more, and vowed to bring down Jergal and the Lich-King himself. Sadly, it was the death of Sir Galen that served as the catalyst for her renewed determination. Jergal desires revenge on Kazandra nearly as badly as he wants to revive King Azalin, and Kazandra's deepest fear is that she may be at his mercy once more. Height: 5'9 Weight: 145 Age: ?? Hair: Silvery blonde Eyes: Gray Profession: Enchantress Level: 16 HP: 145 |
| Kazandra Silvertress |
| In many ways, Sauul Kish remains an enigma. After being possessed by an Unclean Spirit in Forlorn, he attacked and nearly slew Mariel. Jal used Sorcery to enslave the powerful warrior's mind, maintaining his control and forcing Sauul later to embark on a potentially-lethal hunt for the goblyns that had kidnapped Saben. Sauul forged a desperate pact to escape Jal's control and survive what otherwise would have been his Sayonara Battle. To this date, Sauul has NEVER forgiven Jal for ensorcelling him, or Mariel, for allowing it to happen. He absolutely loves Dougal, seems to bear a grudging respect for Zeke, and desperately wants to get Kazandra Silvertress onto her back, but other than that, tends to despise most other lifeforms that he encounters. Height: 5'11 Weight: 175 Age: 19 Hair: Reddish-brown Profession: Ranger |
| Castle Ravenloft. He plummeted off the battlements along with Zeke...and considering that Zeke ended up in Jergal's stronghold in Vorostokov, a prisoner, reasonable minds might assume that Arijani met the same fate. And this is a grievous blow indeed, for few who might oppose the Kargatane are as powerful, knowledgeable or versatile as Arijani. And...the Rakshasa Lord's capture and imprisonment may yet hold consequences more dire still... Height: 7'0 Weight: 325 Age: 973 Hair: Black and orange Eyes: Deep emerald Profession: Mystic Level: 18 HP: 178 |
| Arijani sar Mahiji |
| The leader of the Dark Sisters, Adhira quickly became a favorite ally of the main characters due to her cutting wit, sadistic streak, and all-in-all badassery. Her tragic death at the hands of the Man-Demon Rachis enraged the heroes and sent them on a quest of vengeance into the Shadow Rift itself. She died to save Zeke, who was Rachis's intended target. Her death was grievous to the dark elf, to Mariel, and especially to Jal, whom she had recently taken as a lover. Adhira will be sorely missed, but she would have loved the extreme prejudice with which her friends ultimately dispatched Rachis. Height: 5'2 Weight: 120 Age: 33 Hair: Dark red Eyes: Dark brown Profession: Ninja Level: 12 HP: 96 |
| Adhira |
| Met while he was a slave in Queen Naieline's palace, Saben has at last been reunited with his mother, Maeve. Both had thought the other was dead, and the reunion was a joyous one. The youth has also had the chance to finally meet his uncle, Prince Loht, who he has heard so much of from his mother. Saben remains in the safety of Forlorn now, keeping Jenna copmany, and assists in the restoration of the blighted lands. Thus, his part in this story, too, seems to be at an end. Saben is young, barely out of boyhood, but is incredibly handsome, with long red hair and a comely face that women swoon over. Height: 5'8 Weight: 145 Age: 17 Hair: Red Eyes: Cornflower blue Profession: Druid Level: 8 HP: 75 |
| Saben |
| The Druid and Fey Queen Maeve has at last been reunited with her beloved brother, and he has forgiven her and taken her back. Now, Maeve has travelled north to arrive in the nick of time, saving the few surviving defenders by decimating the Kargatane ranks with her powerful Druid Fire. Mother to Saben and brother to Loht, Maeve is an alluring mix of surreal beauty and raw destructive power. Standing nearly six feet in height, Maeve dresses in the flowing black robes of a Druid, which cling tightly to her svelte form. She has a long, lustrous mane of bright red hair, that tumbles down over her shoulders and halfway down her back like a waterfall. Her milky-white skin is exceedingly fair, and her deep blue eyes are large and alluring. Her face is flawless and exotic, elven in shape, and yet so delicate and graceful that her otherworldly beauty is to that of an elfmaid, as an elfmaid’s is to a human! Height: 5'11 Weight: 128 Age: 860 Hair: Red Eyes: Sapphire blue Profession: Druid Level: 15 HP: 106 |
| Maeve, the Druid Queen |
| Loht, Prince of Shadows |
| most powerful allies. the battle to try to rescue her. Jal has surmised that he is now Loht is deeply in love with Mariel, and vanished in the middle of the battle to try to rescue her. Jal has surmised that he is now near Vorostokov, and this is not a good thing...for strong as he is, if Loht enters Castle Andriksov alone, he will NEVER emerge... At six feet in height, he dresses in fine, rich clothes of charcoal-gray, with tall black boots, billowy leggings, and a tight sleeveless shirt that hugs closely to his chest and taut midriff. His arms ripple with lean muscle, lightly tanned, and his hands are slender and elegant. Long, lustrous silver hair spills down to his back, and frames a face so achingly beautiful that women and straight men alike gaze upon him in helpless desire! Height: 6'0 Weight: 150 Age: 860 Hair: Silver Eyes: Sapphire blue Profession: Shadowblade Level: 17 HP: 152 |
| Lady Acyro Der'Byk |
| Brought north from Lekar by Loht and Maeve, Acyro has been betrayed her unto torture and madness. Arguably the most skilled mortal warrior of her day, Acyro is one of the only people who has achieved Grand Mastery, and thus one of the only ones who can teach our heroes the same. But tortured for months by the horrific Spirit Lord, Acyro has gone mad from the agonies she has suffered, and is in no state to teach anyone anything. Whether she can regain herself and fight back against the darkness that threatens to engulf this world has yet to be seen. Height: 5'4 Weight: 105 Age: 20 Hair: Golden-blonde Eyes: Blue Profession: Holy Knight Level: 16 HP: 164 |
| Rachis, the Final Dukkar |
| Encountered amidst blood and death, Rachis vanished the same...after murdering Adhira, the loathsome Man-Demon was pursued into the Shadow Rift. There he conspired with Mohrg, Prince of the Dancing Men, to bring down His Highness Loht and set Gwydion free upon the land. Thankfully, our heroes thwarted Rachis's ambitions, finally slaying him on the very steps of the Obsidian Portal. Rachis's last hateful act was to open the way for Gwydion's avatar to emerge fully into the physical plane. Due to our heroes, the prophecy of the Final Dukkar at last came to and end, and Rachis's decadent life of murder and betrayal ended in a pool of his own blood. Height: 5'10 Weight: 175 Age: 27 Hair: White Eyes: Blood-red Profession: Assassin Level: ? HP: ? |
| Count Strahd von Zarovich |
| Count Strahd von Zarovich was a powerful and knowledegable ally, who revealed much to the group about the Kargatane and their fell master. He is also one of the few beings you have encountered that took a liking to Sauul, and he rewarded the ranger for his loyalty with the services of Naia, a comely servant girl. More recently, a latent enchantment that Strahd wove in contingency for his own death was activated, delivering a letter to Sauul explaining that with the withdrawal of the Dark Powers, Supposedly, a great inheritance awaits the group back in Castle Ravenloft. Height: 6'2 Weight: 185 Age: 1050 Hair: Black Eyes: Black or crimson Profession: Necromancer Level: 18 HP: 185 |
| Isandriel Cystine |
| was taken captive by the dark vampire lord known as Jergal Blightfang. Subjected to agonizing rape and diabolical torments within his castle, this princess was rescued by a very surprising knight-in-shining-armor...our own Zeke, who tricked Jergal into believing he was on his side! Isandriel is achingly-beautiful. Her body is surprisingly curvy for an elfmaid--even for a dark elf--with a deep hourglass figure. Her breasts are large and full, and her midriff is toned, yet pleasantly fleshy-- obviously the result of the soft life lead by a drow noble. With delicate, alluring features, plump full lips, eyes of deep sapphire, and a wild mane of long silvery hair, she may be the most beautiful female of ANY race that you have ever seen. To save Zeke and Mariel, Isandriel tempted the most dangerous power she possesses, that of Translocation. She was trapped in the Demon World as a result, and the suffering she now faces might well rival what Jergal did to Kazandra! Height: 5'3 Weight: 135 Age: 128 Hair: Silver Eyes: Sapphire blue Profession: Warlock Level: 14 HP: 175! |
| Ankhtepot, the Dark Pharoah?? |
| There is a rumor that Ankhtepot is, or was, or yet may be a recruitable character! In life, Ankhtepot was Pharoah of a mighty empire, and said to be the living incarnation of the Sun God himself. Desperate to achieve true immortality, the powerful priest-king turned to the dark arts, sacrificing an entire city to fuel a black ritual. In punishment, the great god Ra did indeed make Ankhtepot immortal--but not in the fashion that he wished. An Ancient Dead of the Fifth level of Magnitude, according to Van Richten's classification, Ankhtepot is now an unholy creature with terrible powers. His touch alone causes a horrible, wilting death to mortals! A thousand years of worship from the people of Har'Akir have elevated Ankhtepot to deity status in his own right, making Ankhtepot arguably the most powerful Dark Lord in existence. Can he really be recruited? Will he kill you on sight, for stealing Mariel, who he planned on sacrificing to use her purity to cast off the shackles of Undeath? Who knows...

| Dagon of the Mists |
| world, Dagon is clearly a Sorcerer of considerable skill and Moreover, Jal believes him to be a practitioner of the Way, as well. Cowled and clad in voluminous charcoal-gray robes, the Arcanist known as Dagon of the Mists has smooth, angular, seemingly-ageless features, and his eyes glow softly with an eerie purple sheen. He SEES everything with that luminous gaze, seemingly without invoking a spell of True Sight. What is his stake in this game, and will he prove to be an ally, or merely a veiled figure who shapes events to his will? Height: 6'2 Weight: 165 Age: ??
