Blacky: Wizard 3rd; human male. A quirky and enigmatic figure, Blacky (he wears all black) is a member of an obscure magus order seeking to understand the gods of darkness in order to fight them better. He says he was sent by his order in Karolak to the north, to warn the Tide Watchers that “darkness is stirring again” in the nearby area, and to watch for its signs and fight with them. Strange, but seemingly telling the truth – though the wizard of House Malor that interviewed him said not to trust him, and that something seemed ‘off’ – though also seemed a bit jealous at capabilities his order was capable of that none others he had heard of. Unbeknownst to the group, he is a Acolyte (Magi) of Gloom.

Bar’rup Cliff-Hanger: teamster/supplies/camp dwarven cleric of nature 3rd for Lion/Rastur (courage)
Was part of the Rastur/Darupet order of Fearless Spanners in South Gate Garrison. This order climbed and suspended under the massive bridge spanning the southgap chasm, looking for places where repairs need to be made (only Ducateon could repair the Desert Giant construction) and reporting to engineers. They were fearless. Sometimes a Troll would clamber up from the depths and damage the bridge. Other times Orrish would send sappers, and odd times elemental creatures would be sent to cause disruption. The Fearless Spanners were the ones to find the disturbances, find the damage, then report it and work with others like the Bridgemen of Southgate. Bar’rup had served his 5 years in the order, and was taken “off the leash” (as its called in their order) and allowed to go anywhere he liked, paid for by the order. He spent several days pouring through the records in the order’s library and found a small reference to a shrine that had been set up in a place called Braddon Bog. Nothing was recorded after that, so he wanted to bring courage and hope to this far away place and was sent there. At Braddon Bog he found a ruined shrine that he cleaned and re-consecrated. War was in the air with the Gwinnish – no friend to his order – he was eager to enlist to fight against them. He was hired as a mason assistant and warrior to escort supply runs.
