Characters of Harthron

Boffin

Gorin Hendiihold (Godi Morradaaksson)

A tall dwarf with reddish-blond feathered hair, a beard of gold traced with silver, ruddy skin, and eyes the colour of a clear sky. He bears the scar of a drow sabre across his face and was trained to weave spells whilst clad in light or medium armour. A survivor of the ruined Fortress of Mordaak, he is watchful to the point of paranoia, deeply scholarly, and never to be parted from his weapons or spellbooks.

His father, the High Rune Priest Morradaak, reared him amid sacred texts. After the Empress Averness laid waste to their fortress in her hunger for wealth and power, Gorin helped to found the village of Runebaak upon Ghendoa. He now serves the Dwarven Resurgence Movement, charged with seeking out the scattered dwarven communities throughout the Gannor Empire and leading them to their new home in Hendiihold.

Lor

Maddox

Mibar

Synath

A skilled scout and deadly archer. Synath bears striking draconic tattoos that trace from his face down the right side of his body. His hair is white, bound in two braids upon the right, and he wears studded leather armour, carrying two short swords and a longbow.

Dar

A dwarven barbarian who joined the company for the delving of the Tales from the Yawning Portal.

Zazriel

An aasimar ranger who walked the dark halls of the Sunless Citadel and braved the depths of the Forge of Fury.

Vailian

An elven warlock who lent the fell power of the arcane to the company’s endeavours.

Thorn

A half-elf bard whose songs and tales heartened the company through many a perilous encounter.

Kitiara Goldman

A black dragonborn druid who commanded the forces of the wild in service of the company.

Asknod Ankle-Shanker

A fearless gnome whose courage far surpasses the measure of his stature.

Carlane

A skilled tracker and archer possessed of minor gifts of healing. She is accompanied ever by Genex, a faithful white wolf.

Dominic

A merchant of Mandi who discovered a different calling upon the road.

Flamezore

Blue-eyed and brown-haired, marked by a distinctive burn scar. Known for charging headlong into the fray with a fearsome howl.

Fumo Arbol ("Smoke")

An exceptionally charismatic halfling of calm and unhurried confidence, bearing a perfectly trimmed black goatee, slicked-back hair, and a devilish smirk. He garbs himself elaborately in burgundy silk and the hides of exotic creatures. He excels at stealth, manipulation, the picking of locks, and the disarming of traps. His arcane versatility springs from the Pact of the Tome, the Book of Ancient Secrets, and the art of the Spell Sniper.

Garthur Elkket

Bearing a mohawk and black braids, Garthur is a born leader and a formidable warrior in close combat.

Kassimir

A young wizard clad in dark leather armour, versed in the shadowed arts and the keeper of obscure and forbidden knowledge.

Mar-dorr

A towering, blue-skinned goliath devoted to the arts of war, divine magic, and the mending of wounds.

Slosh

A stealthy lizardman warrior possessed of the unsettling gift of changing his form.

Vega

A tall, slender woman with dark hair and darker eyes. Skilled in the arts of persuasion, stealth, the unravelling of traps, and the gathering of intelligence.

Angelica "Angie" Telemnar

Strawberry-blonde of hair. Skilled in divine magic and the healing arts.

Collin Telemnar

Burned and scarred, he labours in an orphanage. A master of stealth and shadow.

Dumak

Known chiefly for his prodigious capacity for drink.

Elle

Sly and mirthful in equal measure. A gifted healer.

Erebus

Tall and gaunt, clad in dark leather. A master of stealth, of scouting, and of dealing death. He is bound to the imp Jot by a contract of familiar, and travels alongside the dragon Calcryx.

Jhut

Skilled in the mending of wounds and the rigours of close combat.

Ka

Reared by wolves in the untamed wild. An expert tracker and hunter, given to bellowing at great volume.

Kalesar

A born leader of folk.

Rafik (Muja Maruf Ahamed)

From the wastelands he hails. Rafik draws his power from his parentage and from a Noble Djinn patron. He is skilled in aerial combat, stealth, and the gathering of intelligence. A proficient cartographer, he has charted the land from vantage points high above the earth. He turns every advantage he possesses against those who would enslave or bring harm upon good folk.

Ryany Mosswood

Leopard-spotted of skin, green-eyed, and bearing an eye patch. Skilled in the arts of stealth and the changing of forms.

Saul Omen

Devoted to the upholding of law and order.

Tovok Ironfist

Young and reclusive by nature. A wielder of the arcane arts.

Valkin

From the forest village of Alora in Pendea. Orphaned at sixteen summers when orcs slew his parents—his father Balkin was a warrior, and his mother Valamina a wizard of great power. He was enslaved by the Orc Chief Silgrug for twelve long years ere he escaped. A dwarf named Kagnar rescued him and became as a father to him for thirty years. After Kagnar was slain by bugbears, Valkin wandered alone for forty years before at last settling in Annlynn. He worships Bahamut and Neuthar, though he harbours a deep scepticism regarding the power of the divine.

Vander

Bears a burning hatred of orcs. Skilled in close combat and possessed of minor mastery over fire.

Sasku

A monk who met his end by a fatal fall during the delving of the Forge of Fury.

Calcryx

A white dragon who first joined the company as a wyrmling during the delving of the Sunless Citadel. Chaotic and unpredictable, Calcryx behaves much as a restless child of ten years — difficult to hold and harder still to command. After being aged forty years by the Horrifying Visage of a Dwarven Ghost in the Forge of Fury, the wyrmling grew into a young dragon in truth, and the company has grown ever more wary of their scaly companion. She travels most often alongside Erebus.

Jot

An imp bound to Erebus by contract through a homebrewed rite of Find Familiar. Unlike a common familiar, Jot cannot simply be called back from the void — should he perish, he returns to the Hells and the pact is broken forever. He travels with the company as a sharp-tongued wretch who takes great delight in hurling insults at all within earshot, and serves as a most colourful foil for the Dungeon Master.

Genex

A loyal white wolf who walks beside the ranger Carlane upon her journeys through the lands of Terin.

Durnan

The legendary proprietor of the Yawning Portal inn. Durnan serves as a central contact for those who seek adventure and peril, and he is known throughout the region as a man who can always point a willing sword toward a worthy — and dangerous — quest.

Torlum

A dwarf of Baker’s View and a friend of Durnan. It was Torlum who engaged the company to map the ancient dwarven Forge of Fury and, if fortune permitted, recover four legendary weapons from within its depths.
