Aleanor Rivenshield (B5 C9)

A mysterious warrior and student of nature, Aleanor met the Exiles in Brindinford when their paths crossed with hers. Though she did not return to Silverhall with them, something about her demeanor suggested that they would all walk the same road again...

Alein (B5 C9)

A paladin of Heironius, Alein was protecting the body of Terun in the town of Brindinford when the party found her. She was later killed in her dreams by the mind flayer Gareleth Axom.

Anton Hucrele (B5 C1)

A human merchant who had made his home in the small hamlet of Oakhurst. Anton's son and daughter had aspirations to be adventurers, and joined up with the paladin Sir Bradford in exploring the nearby 'Sunless Citadel'. When neither returned, Anton enlisted the help of Kazmahar to search for them. Eventually, the party returned with news of his son's death, but with the girl Sharwyn alive -- though changed.

In gratitude, Anton offered the party shelter when they hid from the Black Talons in Oakhurst. Later, the merchant offered them the cover of employment to give them the ability to travel towards Silverhall under his protection.

Armando Dessatonio (B5 C4)

A monk from Deepingrun Abbey, Brother Armando was one of the top researchers of knowledge in that secular organization. His main area of study was the elemental planes of Positive and Negative energy, and how they interacted with the Prime. He was also well read on dwarven history, and had begun to uncover many fascinating correlations between the two fields.

Armando's studies were interrupted by the arrival of the Exiles to the Abbey, and their bearing of the Ba'althril sword Darkfire, which Armando helped them to identify. Seeing a great opportunity for study in the black dwarven blade, Armando left the Abbey to follow the elf Thelisn and afford himself more time to examine the weapon. Showing a lack of good judgment, Armando followed thew party into the depths of Khundrakhar, where they eventually met the dragon Nightscale. When Sigurd was mortally wounded, Armando tried using a "healing wand" that he had constructed to save him; instead of the desired effect, the wand pulled Armando's positive energy from his body and used it to restore Sigurd. Armando became trapped in a spirit realm, unable to regain the link to his body.

In this new form, Armando stayed with the party, connected to them through the crystal wand. His demeanor changed, as he found himself able to observe the currents of positive and negative energy directly in his new state. This new awareness showed him the true nature of his theories, but also alerted him that something powerful was happening in the Negative Plane... Something connected to the black weapons the party now carried.

Armando currently resides in the body of the boy Walvis, whos own spirit was driven down by a blast of negative energy. The monk has used the boy's neary vacant body to maintain his link with the Prime realm, while at the same time seeking a way to restore them both. In the meantime, Armando has become the foremost expert on the nature of the Wyrmfang dagger and the Ba'althril weapons, and is helping in laying the plans to destroy them.

Ash Hallowbark (B1 C3)

One of the ancient race of the Voadkyn, or Wood Giants, Ash left his home in Cormanthor on a quest to see the world beyond the Dalelands. Though he stands over ten feet tall, is covered with light brown fur, and has a very feral appearance, Ash is actually quite gentle and surprisingly civilized. His large, tufted ears perk up at the mention of a good tale, and he has a fine appreciation for knowledge and art, especially the works of the Elven people. Ash is skilled at woodsinging, a Voadkyn magic that allows him to shape living wood into beautiful works of art without the need for tools.

Ash joined the party after they escaped from the Shadowman's attack at Eudora's Cottage. When Thomasin was wounded and infected by the Shadow, Ash suggested that the ancient magics of the Elder Grove in the Spiderhaunt could possibly heal him. Later, in the orc tunnels beneath the Desertmouth Mountains, it was revealed that Ash is very claustrophobic underground, but that his determination and loyalty to his friends is more important than his personal fears.

Ash remained with the Company throughout the Battle of Tilverton, where he remained with Ekel to defend the Seekers. In Greymoor Keep, he rescued Thomasin from being transported to Ravenloft.

After returning from Greymoor, Ash remained with Thomasin near the Elder Grove for a while before journeying deeper into the elven woods. Upon his return, he passed through the town of Shadowdale, where he joined with Endeleban Losteast and Yoshimoto Kuni-Omi, whom he realized were searching for Thomasin. Ash was later wounded in the goblin attack near the Dead Stand. He remained with the Daughters to heal and protect them while the others left for Dragoth'Gor.

Several years later, after having given everyone up for dead, Ash discovered a magical tome that provided proof that the Company was alive and had escaped Ravenloft, and was trapped in the Wood Between Worlds. After consulting the Elders of the Grove, Ash headed east into Cormanthor, seeking a way of helping his lost companions. En route, the wood giant became pursued by the Wild Hunt of faerie legend, and was sent into the Wood by the Huntsman's killing stroke. There, he met up with his wandering friends and helped them defeat a group of illithids that were seeking to corrupt the faelands and control human dreams.

Of late, Ash has been travelling the forests of Cormanthor, trying to uncover the menance that is threatening the Elder Groves...

Avallone (B1 C8)

One of three elven ghosts encountered by the party on Watcher's Reach. In her life, Avallone was a elven warrior, assigned to guard against humanoid invasion into Cormanthor. She and her guard were the first to fall to the demonic force that went on to lay siege, and ultimately destroy, the city of Myth Drannor. Avallone and her companions failed to light a signal beacon in time to warn the elven army of attack; she and her companions thus were cursed to haunt Watcher's Reach, constantly reliving the hopeless battle that marked their failure.

With the party's assistance, Avallone and the other ghosts changed the outcome of the battle, managing to activate the magical signal in time. Her mission complete, Avallone and her companions were released from their bondage and joined the ranks of the elven Revered Ones. During the Siege of Tilverton, Avallone led a spectral attack of the Revered Ones against the humanoid enemies that threatened the city and the party.

Avallone's memories, experiences, and skills were shared with Thomasin Greycloak when the party offered their assistance in releasing the ghosts from their haunt.

Bartleby, created by Nate Case
A young but skilled sorceror, Bartleby is more of a bored aristocrat looking for entertainment than a questing adventurer. Still, he is confident in his command of magic, and willingly lends his aid for no more return than a spot of excitement and a share of the treasure.

Recent happenings in Westmarch have made things a little too hot for Bartleby's liking, and he has since skipped town (with a good share of the party's coin)...

Brightwing (B1 C9)

A young copper dragon, known for both his eagerness and his fascination with human society and politics. Brightwing attacked the party at first, mistaking them for bandits. To make amends, Brightwing offered to fly the party into Cormyr. En route, they were attacked by flying batlike creatures, and Brightwing barely managed to deposit the party onto the battlements of the dwarven fortress of Hightower.

Later, Brightwing saved Thomasin Greycloak, Endeleban Losteast, Yoshimoto Kuni-Omi, and Ash from a goblin raiding party. Reluctantly, he then ferried the three humans to the mountain of Dragoth'Gor, wherein they were attacked by the dracolich Zral'z'nauth. While Brightwing battled the undead dragon, the humans disappeared into the dark portal that had opened.

Years later, Thomasin met Brightwing again, this time in the elven valley of Evereska, where Brightwing had been living after being direly wounded in the battle at Dragoth'Gor. He is currently friends with the reclusive elven adventurer Derelon Nightbane, who had rescued Brightwing at the base of the mountain below the dragon's cave.

Calcyrx (B5 C2)

A young dragon of indeterminable sub-species. Calcyrx started pursuing the party after encountering them deep within the Sunless Citadel, where it had escaped from the kobold Meepo. The bane of food stores and supply packs, Calcyrx is demanding, aggressive, and all together unfriendly. It is currently establishing yet another lair (its third, at least) in the pantry of Heroes' Rest.

Chance of Gaylor (B1 C1)

A human thief from the Moonsea area, Chance conceals a dark past behind her sharp-tongued facade. After following Thomasin and Leif Treadwell down into a muddy hole and almost getting herself killed, Chance decided to set out on her own. Coincidentally, she met up with the duo later - only to explore and try to escape from another muddy hole. She was last seen heading back into the Dalelands.

Dara Whitewood (B5 C5)

Constable of Blesingdell. Dara Whitewood protects and enforces the peace in the busy port town with an iron fist, allowing nothing as trivial as a bar fight to escape punishment. Offenders are rounded up, and then given the option to commute their sentence by serving time aboard merchant ships or working the docks. Thus, the town grows prosperous on the strong backs of those who would disrupt it.

Dara Whitewood befriended Alain when the paladin offered to join the dwarf Hornwood in lock-up to ensure that he showed proper restraint and respect. It is possible that something more than friendship was between the paladin and the constable, but the party quickly left town before any rumors could get themselves started.

Derelon Nightbane (B7 C7)

Retired elven adventurer and former Knight of Myth Drannor. Derelon is one of "the Nine", heroes who were gifted with the Ba'althrils in order to defeat an ancient army of evil. Now a reclusive resident of Evereska, it was revealed that Derelon is the brother of Trajan, the elf who became the demon Coldburn.

The Dreaming Queen (B3 Interlude)

Eternally sleeping and dreaming her fey realm into being, the Dreaming Queen rules The Wood Between Worlds. It was to The Wood Between Worlds that the PC's flew when they escaped the Mists, and there they learned that the Wood is only one of many that the Dreaming Queen watches as she sleeps.

Ekel(B1 C5)

Leader and "Wagon Father " of the Seekers. Ekel's white hair contrasts with his bright, garish clothing. He is generous and friendly, and holds his people's traditions in high regard.

Ekel allowed the party to rest and recuperate with his troop, but refused to allow Leif Treadwell to enter the camp without first ridding himself of the Wyrmfang dagger. Ekel is also an acquaintance of Eudora, and had carried a note from her for delivery to the party - a note written over a month before Eudora and the party met.

After separating with the Company, Ekel led the Seekers south and west into Cormyr, where they eventually came to Tilverton. There they were involuntarily placed under the protection of Tilverton and not allowed to leave the area. Ekel pleaded with Thomasin Greycloak (upon the bard's arrival in Tilverton) for help, since no food was being allowed outside of the city walls and the Seekers and other "trapped" refugees were starving.

After Ghrym Darkforge arrived in Tilverton and the quest to recover the Ba'alstones was announced, Ekel revealed a dark secret from his past that related to the new quest. He led the party to Greymoor Keep, east of Tilverton, where, long ago, Ekel had broken his oath of non-violence and killed a man while attempting to rescue his beloved Magda from the clutches of an evil baron.

After entering Ravenloft with the party, Ekel continued to bear Thomasin's heron- bladed sword. When the party was separated from their bodies by the destruction of the Pillar of Judgment, Ekel was wounded but otherwise unaffected. He was blinded (several times) while trying to retrieve the Reliquary , but was eventually cured. Ekel rescued Farid al-Haman and the Forsaken Leyani from the catacombs underneath the nightmare Temple of Gond, but was accidentally killed by Leif, wielding Darkfire, while the half-elf battled illusionary visions of his companions.

El'Al'halen (literally "The last guardian of the gate") (B1 C12)

Caretaker of Myth Ruidorr, Guardian of the Evermir. A powerful and wise sage, El'Al'halen sacrificed himself to protect the Lost City when the Elves retreated from the Flanesse. His quest is to protect the Evermir until the last elf in Faerun has passed beyond its waters.

An expert on the ancient ways of magic, El'Al'halen revealed the history of the Wyrmfang dagger to Thomasin and Leif Treadwell when they arrived in Myth Ruidorr. El'Al'halen later appeared as a vision to the party, telling them that all was not lost, despite their failure to prevent the Forsaken from escaping from Ravenloft.

Enoch (B6 C1)

Magister of the city of Stormport. Enoch was the charismatic leader whose purpose was to gather together the "Elect" before the "New Masters" came... Masters who were later revealed to be illithids. Enoch was captured and then killed by the party while trying to discover more about the mysteries of Stormport. Though he had fought the party, he was actually a good and noble mage who was being psionically controlled by the mind flayer Shuluth from his sewer lair.

Eudora (Keeper of the Weave) (B1 C3)

Diviner and "weave teller". Eudora's age could range anywhere from 80 to 800, but anyone who has ever met the wrinkled crone would think twice before calling her "old". She has a tendency to know about things months and sometimes years before they happen.

Eudora lived in a small cottage south and west of Shadowdale, where she tended the Loom, a magical device that translated the course of events in the world into a physical tapestry. Eudora is skilled at "telling the Weave", or reading the "Pattern" of the tapestry's design to gain knowledge of past, present, and future events.

Eudora was the first to recognize the significance of the Wyrmfang when the party brought it to her. She directed the party to El'Al'halen by way of a message sent a month earlier with Ekel of the Seekers. Eudora's cottage and the Loom were both destroyed by an attack lead by the Shadowman. Eudora was presumed dead, a victim of the destruction that claimed her home.

This presumption later proved to be wrong when Eudora arrived unannounced at Thomasin Greycloak's cottage near the Elder Grove. She left without much explanation, however, leaving the bard full of more questions than answers.

Finster Find, created by Ryan Andrews(B1 C1)

A human mage from Daggerdale. Due to some ill fated business ventures, Finster found himself low level and out of work. As unemployment could not support his enormous drinking habit, Finster took to adventuring until it, too, became ill-fated. He was last seen by the party in the Tainted Grove in the Spiderhaunt Woods, were his companions, who had refined the art of ignoring him, left him behind.

Fionn Bitterbrew, created by Scott Fitzpatrick
A halfling rogue, Fionn is currently working in the service of the enigmatic Harper named Kal'Arden. But when she failed to meet him at a scheduled rendezvous, Fionn found himself searching for answers as to her fate. His search took him to Stormport, where he fought alongside his companions to end the illithid threat there.

Flem Mudpott(B5 C7)

Proprietor of the Moss and Briar Inn in Portage. A dank, smelly, seedy dwarf, Flem has been known to sell keys to other guests' rooms to the right buyer when he's not watering down the already cheap ale.

Gauldere(B7 C8)

Resident of the wasteland town of Drylake, Gauldere has scratched out a living by leading adventurers and treasure-seekers into the Bone Sea. Though an intense coward by nature, Gauldere was finally convinced to lead the party to the dreaded Nightfang Spire after they convinced him that they would try and help the sage Yesha Faulkin, who was Gauldere only selfless friend. Gauldere was last seen running madly into the Wastes, convinced that a bone talisman he possessed had magically summoned a wizard to save him from the guardian of the Spire.

Garvyn(B2 C3)

Human captain of the ship Endurance, cursed by his cowardly actions to sail the Sargasso Seas of Ravenloft forever. Garvyn could never leave his ship, and his crew could not leave for more than a few hours without dying a horrible death. Garvyn eventually confessed his sins to the Company, who helped the sea captain right the wrongs he had committed and free him from his curse.

Ghrym Darkforge(B2 C1)

Dwarven priest of Gond. Ghrym was a direct descendant of the dwarven metalsmith Rolm, the one who harnassed the Ba'alfire to forge the Wyrmfang dagger. Gond had been on a one hundred year quest to recover the three Ba'alstones which had been stolen from Rolm's tomb by an unknown mage and his legion of undead. Summoned to Tilverton by the Keepers of the Forge, Ghrym was joined by Leif Treadwell, Brandon Butterburr, and Thomasin Greycloak in his quest for the missing stones. Led by Ekel, Ghrym, Leif, and Brandon were pulled into Ravenloft where, for the first time in several decades, Ghrym was able to detect the proximity of one of the Stones.

Fighting alongside the party, Ghrym helped defeat the ice mage Meredoth and recovered the first of the three Stones. In the city of Necropolis, however, Ghrym fell under the dark influence of one of the Forsaken and destroyed the Pillar of Judgment, freeing the demonic Forsaken and allowing them to possess the bodies of Ghrym's companions. Believing his friends dead due to his actions, Ghrym vowed to avenge them by destroying the demon Ygog-soggoth. The dwarf chased the fleeing demon through the Mists until they met in battle atop the foul Necrolith.

With each of them possessing one of the Ba'alstones, dwarf and demon found themselves nearly evenly matched. They battled to a stalemate, using so much of their own life energies that the Necrolith was able to rise up and claim them both. Just before he died, however, Ghrym found peace when he learned that his companions had not died by his actions but instead had been cast out of their physical bodies as spirits. In order that they may complete the quest and escape Ravenloft, Ghrym gave Leif the Ba'alstone he possessed along with the rune- covered handle of his war hammer. No longer reinforced by the magic of the Ba'alstone, Ghrym at last succumbed to the Necrolith.

Giles Halfgallows(B3 C4)

A halfling rogue, Giles has served as messenger, spy, and friend to many of the Harpers of the Dalelands. Seeking a "vacation", Giles accompanied Farid al-Haman back into the Anauroch Desert, eventually returning when the bard sought out Silverhall. Having nearly lost his taste for adventuring, Giles spends his time listening to his favorite song -- which happens to have been written for him by Farid -- be sung by any convienent minstrel.

The GOGUN, created by Barret Blake (B4 C1)

A dwarven priest, exiled from his people and sent to serve the Silver Lady of Dalandia, Gogun began his long, strange descent into madness (of a sorts) when he suffered grievous wounds and hideous transformations below Firestorm Peak. It probably didn't help that he became enthralled by several Keraptis-imprints below White Plume Mountain, or that he drew with reckless abandon from a a special Deck of Many Things. The result -- the Gogun, a towering, mishappen form containing the mind of a crazed genius. The Gogun disappeared below White Plume Mountain, but no one actually believes that he perished there. After the heroes managed to return to Silverhall, witnesses claim that they saw the form of a ghostly giant, wielding a mighty hammer and carrying a small child in his arms, leaping from the battlements and into the night... Though nothing is confirmed, both the warhammer Whelm and the infant Keraptis child have not been seen since.

Greypelt(B3 C1)

A shaman of the Ne'Halea of the frozen glacier. Greypelt was the mentor of Xerix, and performed the rites of healing on Farid. He and Yelloweyes distracted the dragon Hoarfrost long enough for the party to reach the Garden of Sehanine.

Holstaff(B3 C13)

Assistant to the chief archivist of the Temple of Gond in Tilverton, Holstaff was dedicated to his precious documents and books. After providing much needed clues about the workings of the strange Temple to the company, he died during an attack by wraiths - apparantly of a bad heart.

H'ralnath(B7 C7)

A moon elf of Evereska, H'ralnath is the captain of the Hillwardens, the elite ranger-warriors who protect the secrets and guard the borders of the Crescent Valley. A strong leader and a loyal servant of the Hill Elders, H'ralnath understands the constant threats that besiege the Elves' hidden city, and is therefore cool and reserved in his attitude towards outsiders, even when their intentions seem noble and honorable.

Isoldannon(B7 Prologue)

Engineer-priest of Gond, Isoldannon built the Gondstruct, a steam golem that was put in place to protect the vault of magical devices hidden below the Temple of Gond in Tilverton. Later, after the Gondstruct followed the Wyrmfang dagger to Silverhall, Isoldannon led the crew that revised it to act as a steel-minded porter, immune to the dangerous influence of the ba'althril weapons it carried. Tight-lipped and unineterested in much beyond his steam-driven charge, Isoldannon ensures that the Gondstruct continues to operate within normal parameters.

Ivan Del'Arte, created by Brian Cunningham (B4 C4)

A mercenary fighter who undertook a quest to recover the trident Wave from the dungeons below White Plume Mountain. He joined with the party from Silverhall in fighting against the False Kerapti and their legions. Though nearly killed by the Pool of Boundless Life, Ivan survived by using Wave's life draining power on himself. He escaped to Silverhall with the others after Wave was destroyed, and has since lent his assistance to the garrison in fortifying the town against the coming war.

J'ng(B5 C6)

Steersman and boatmaster of the Cutter's Folly. J'ng is of a race of island-dwelling people who are closely tied to the element of water, and are gifted with remarkable abilities.

He is close friends with Trafas Byrne, who helps the xenophobic J'ng in his desire to see the distant waters of the world.

Janine(B6 C3)

Leader of the thieve's guild in the small city of Stormport. Janine was under the mental domination of a creature which fed on human brains and lived in the city's sewers. She used her warehouse operations to traffic fresh victims to her unseen Masters. Though the psionic tatoo that controlled her was(painfully) removed, the current state of her mind has been left in question.

Jord Tsaran(B3 C13)

Chief smith of Tilverton, Jord was also part of the resistance movement. Motivated by the imprisonment of his father, Jord opposed the Black Talons and their corrupt Regent, though for a while he feared to do so openly.

Jord is the older brother of Jhon Tsaran.

Kazmahar, created by Brian Cunningham (B5 C1)

A traveling cleric of Fharlanghan, Kazmahar joined with the Exiles in the town of Oakhurst in order to explore the ruins of the Sunless Citadel. Later, Kazmahar encountered Whendon Ironhammer in a Black Talon camp, and escaped with him and the body of Alain back to the cleric's temple in Blesingdell. Once Alain returned from the dead, Kazmahar informed him of the stirring of evil in the vicinity of the old citadel, and traveled with him to investigate.

Keridan(B5 C8)

An Aes Saidarr in political exile, Keridan appeared in the great hall of Heroes' Rest before the Silver Lady, offering his helping to her and her champions in their quest to save Terun Eastmore in the far off city of Brindinford. It was later revealed that Keridan was infact a false identity of Delban Losteast, a mage who had fallen into the evil and dark arts.

Leaho(B1 C2)

Leartes(B1 C15)

Lieutenant of the Purple Dragons, sent to guard the northern borders of Cormyr against a possible humanoid attack. Leartes was wounded in a massive Shadowman-lead assault the resulted in the lieutenant becoming infected with "shadow" , beginning the process by which he would become a Shadowyn. In his ravings prior to his death, Leartes heralded the arrival of the Shadowman's army.

Leif Treadwell, created by Chris Schreiber (B1 C1)

A half-elven warrior from the woods just north of Shadowdale. Early in his adventuring career, Leif fell under the dark influence of the Wyrmfang dagger, and almost succumbed to it totally. Having undergone many changes during his quest to recover the Ba'alstones, Leif is no longer the young innocent ranger who wandered out of the woods one spring day.

But the dark shadow hanging over Leif may not have totally lifted, for his obsession with weapons of magic has led Leif to a place he may not be able to escape from...

Lelyia(B1 C7)

One of the four Daughters of the Grove. It was Lelyia's capture by Pheadra that precipitated Seanche's plea for aid from the party.

Leyani(B2 C11)

One of the Forsaken imprisoned within the Pillar of Judgment by Selena. Leyani at first possessed Leif Treadwell's body but was driven out by the many forces at work within his mind.

Like her twin brother Trebaine, Leyani was a child gifted with control of the elements – water, in her case. She and her brother were taken by priests of Darkness when they were young and their talents exploited in by Nau'leens, the head of the order. Though an innocent, she was responsible for many deaths, and was thus imprisoned by Selena.

Lucian(B6 C4)

Captain of the Hawk Patrol, the elite militia force that protected Stormport. Lucian was one of the key individuals of that town who were under the mental domination of the mind flayer cabal.

Lucian was also the former owner of the sword Judgment, now claimed by Riddick.

A human woman, once one of the Seekers, beloved of Ekel. When Ekel broke his vow, Magda was spirited away into Ravenloft and trapped there. She gathered many of the individual Vistani together and formed a new tribe called the Wanderers. Eventually, she became trapped in the domain of Sithicus.

A warrior and a seer, Magda is alway's accompanied by her hound, Sabak, and her pet raven, Shadow. Magda has one daughter, Raina, by Ekel. She witnessed the defeat of Lord Soth's plans by the party, but gave up her opportunity for escape to remain in Sithicus with her tribe and daughter.

Matrim Trueborn(B1 C14)

Sergeant of the Purple Dragons, under Trevin. Matrim was assigned to "watch" and "attend to" the party after they met the Dragons. Matrim was promoted to Commander after the Siege of Tilverton, where he served under General Trevin. When Raigus took power in the city and demanded the arrest of the Sah Mystra, Matrim helped Moiraine and others escape into the Dalelands. Eventually, he led the survivors to Silverhall, where he pledged his service to the Silver Queen.

Now, Matrim serves as the Captain of the Watch in Silverhall, and acts as the Silver Queen's personal bodyguard.

Meriadoc Dunn, created by Chris Schreiber(B3 C6)

A mysterious gnome illusion worker, Meriadoc (or "Meri", but never "Merry") was hired by Cedric to help locate the illusion wielding thief that the monk was hunting. Having now found a worthy cause in the service of the Silver Lady, Meriadoc strove to bring a touch of subtlety and stealth to the largely boisterous Knights of Silverhall.

After the Fall of Tilverton, Meriadoc parted ways with the Knights and joined up with the Mouse, heading towards Suzail and the resistance forces at work there.

Moiraine(B1 C15)

S'ah Mystra priestess and attaché to Tilverton. Moiraine went to Tilverton to watch for the party's entrance into Cormyr; having sent Gwenyth east to the Shadow Gap with Trevin, she and her acolyte Selaa accompanied Laertes north into the highlands. When Laertes' force was ambushed, she used her magical abilities to transport herself, the lieutenant, and a few survivors - as well as a few humanoid stowaways - back to Tilverton.

Moiraine was the main proponent against Ishram in keeping the Wyrmfang from falling into the hands of the Shadowman. She suggested and performed the rites of separation that freed Leif Treadwell from the Wyrmfang's influence.

Moiraine eventually married Trevin, and served with him as an advisor during his reign as Regent of Tilverton. She escaped the city when Raigus came into power, eventually making it to Silverhall. There, she leads the remnants of the Sah Mystra in their struggles against the corrupt Aes Saidarr.

Mouse(B3 C11)

Box-maker, locksmith, and bar-owner are just some of the many titles and roles that this mysterious halfling has earned for himself. There are other titles, too, but those are only whispered in secret places...Apparantly a higher up in the Tilverton resistance, Mouse repaid a debt to Meri by providing maps to the secret tunnels which led to the Upper City of Tilverton. After the fall of the city, Mouse revealed that he was a member of the King's Men, a secret guild of thieves and resistance fighters in Suzail.

Nute(B3 C11)

Seeking the source of the evil trying to destroy the Spiderhaunt, Rowan has joined with her father and his companions in their quest to uncover and stop the evil that is spreading across the land.

Seanche(B1 C6)

One of the four Daughters of the Grove. The oldest and leader of the Daughters, Seanche found the party in the Spiderhaunt Woods and agreed to take them to the Grove if they would, in turn, rescue the kidnapped Leylia. She later developed a, um, fondness for Thomasin Greycloak.

During the time that Thomasin was trapped in Ravenloft, Seanche gave birth to Rowan Firemantle. Not long after, the Elder Grove was assaulted, and Seanche sacrificed herself to save it from being consumed by fire.

Selena(B2 C8)

A human priestess of Light and Law from a distant world. Selena ruled over a great city in an ancient land, forever battling the forces of Darkness and Chaos led by the priest Nau'leens. Seeking to overcome her foes once and for all, Selena acquired the Stone of Judgment (actually one of the three lost Ba'alstones) and created the Pillar of Judgment, which she used to trap the souls of the ones called the Forsaken. She treched her power too thin, however, and was forced to use the Stone to channel the souls of her people in order to capture the demon Ygog- soggoth. This act destroyed her city, killed each living person, and pulled her and the Pillar into Ravenloft.

Selena awoke in her nightmare prison in the form of a lich. Though physically defeated by Leif Treadwell, her spirit remained trapped within the Necropolis. After the Forsaken were unwittingly released, Selena offered to help the party recover their bodies if they would help free her from her prison. She guided them to the hidden Reliquary, which they eventually used to transport Selena's mortal remains and to magically protect themselves in the Mists.

Eventually, Selena's eagerness to escape, combined with her disregard for the lives of others, was her undoing. As the Mists sought to claim Leif as a new darklord, Farid al-Haman shattered the Reliquary, causing Selena's spirit to be claimed instead. Howling in fear and rage, Selena was once again trapped within the Necropolis.

Her powers were recently tested, however, by a wish spell used by Thomasin to return him and his companions home.

Thingizzard(B4 C5)

An ancient crone who lives deep within the Vast Swamp just north of the volcanic cone known as White Plume Mountain, Thingizzard is reknown for her ability to brew potions and her almost druidic connection with the sulfurous marsh she calls home. With an army of bog-mummies and an aresenal of magic spells at her command, she would be a fierce foe...if she had any interest in fighting. Instead, she is content to continue her studies in the shadow of the mountain, free from the bother of trespassers...

The party came to the swamp searching for Thingizzard when they learned that she may be in possession of the trident Wave. When their suspicions were proven true, they wisely offered a magical unicorn horn dagger in trade, rather than battle the crone for the artifact. Content with the terms of the barter, Thingizzard allowed them safe passage back to White Plume Mountain.

One of the Forsaken imprisoned within the Pillar of Judgment by Selena. Twin brother to Leyani, Trebaine was a master of fire and flame. Like his sister, he was captured and used by Nau'leens in his battles against Selena.

When they escaped from the Pillar of Judgment, Trebaine possessed the body of Farid al-Haman. After Gohrn was defeated, Nau'leens ordered Trebaine to stop the pursuing party, holding Leyani hostage should the rebellious youth turn against him. When the party finally encountered Trebaine, he had created a domain around himself that was reminiscent of an ancient Anauroch tomb. But even while the party fought the dark priests he had conjured up, Trebaine spoke with Farid in the nether-world of the Reliquary. Trebaine released Farid's body to him on the condition that the bard rescue Leyani from the clutches of Nau'leens. Trebaine then destroyed the desert domain and freed the party. Later, as the Mists were claiming Leif Treadwell as a new darklord, Trebaine appeared to Farid to hint at a way he could save his friend.

Trevin Stormshield(B1 C14)

A captain of the Purple Dragons in charge of the garrison at Tilverton. A retired adventurer, Trevin's brilliant skills as a leader have allowed him quick advancement, but his restlessness and problems with the political authority of Cormyr resulted in his assignment to the "remote outpost" of Tilverton.

Trevin lead the detachment of Purple Dragons that rescued the party in the Shadow Gap. He later led the garrison in defending the city during the Battle of Tilverton. After the battle and the death of Tilverton's regent, Trevin was named the new Regent of Tilverton.

Not long after, Trevin left Tilverton to journey to Suzail to learn the cause behind the disbandment of the Purple Dragons. His case was never heard, for he and his men were imprisoned without trial.

Later, Brother Franco sent Brother Cornelius Thade to Silverhall to try and convince Armando to return.

Walvis(B3 C9)

A young squire of only 12 years, Walvis has sworn to protect his charge - the Sah'Mystra Mother Superior Moiraine, in truth his own mother.

While within the city, however, Walvis suffered a death spell from the beholder Xrel'aunthaunian raSol, only to be next possessed by a evil force through the use of the Ba'alstones by Raiggus.

The boy's strange fortunes have continued. With his body returned to Silverhall, the evil spirit was eventually driven from his body, revealing Walvis' spirit to still be locked away inside.
