Appendix A — Dramatis Personae

Adventurers: The primary group consisting of Doctor Pepe, Elara Starglimmer, Kragor Grimstride, Scarlet Tanager, and Therin Sunscale. The former four have been hailed as heroes in Palebank Village for saving a local family from a frozen fate due to the Aeorian-engineered disease, Frigid Woe; and have the appreciation of Uthodurn for delivering that plague into the kingdom’s safe-keeping. Therin is their latest associate, met during their joint assignment to protect the transfer of a powerful Aeorian artifact to Uthodurn—a mission that ended in a devastating ambush.
Brennik Coalvein & Caelynn Whisperwind: The sole surviving guard and teamster of the Palebank caravan. Brennik is a young Glassblade recruit pulled from the wreckage, while Caelynn is a hardy crew member who managed the Flot goats.
The Crimson Rider: A mysterious, expressionless warrior whose face resembled dry, stretched parchment. Riding a fearsome Moorbounder and wielding a cursed glaive, they led the ambush against the caravan and successfully stole the Aeorian artifact.
Elro Aldataur: The elf ranger appointed as leader of Palebank Village. Elro recruited our party to investigate the freezing sickness afflicting some villagers, and then again to protect the transport of a powerful Aeorian artifact to Uthodurn.

The village is guided by Elro Aldataur, a weathered elf ranger who helped found Palebank roughly sixty years ago. Stoic and humorless, Elro showed a knack for leadership when the fledgling outpost was beset with danger on a near-constant basis. Elro earned the trust and respect of the residents, and they asked him to govern Palebank. He begrudgingly accepted, and has since overseen the expansion and protection of the village. Elro generally has sixty to ninety Glassblades at his command.

Former Adventurers: Whisper and Halite left the party in Syrinlya to guide a lucrative expedition into Aeor. Gerhard departed shortly after, reuniting with his searching brother and returning to Icehaven to rebuild his shattered life.
Honor and Magic Liel-Tethwick: Twin tiefling daughters of the Liel-Tethwick family. Spared from the icy grip of the Frigid Woe, they touchingly welcomed the adventurers back to Palebank Village with woven floral garlands.
Kord, The Stormlord: God of battle, roaring tempests, and unyielding strength. Kragor’s mother worshipped him in absolute secrecy. Kragor recently experienced a profound vision of her and received a lingering, warming blessing at an ancient mountain shrine dedicated to the god.
Mireth Copperleaf & Dolgrim Ashward: The commanding officers of the Palebank caravan escort. Captain Mireth was a stoic Attalwen (an elf with a thin beard), and Sergeant Dolgrim was a grizzled dwarven veteran. Both were killed during the devastating caravan ambush in the Crystalsands Tundra.
Talindra Snowveil, Oryn Hammerglass, Faelan Duskwood: Veteran Glassblades that were killed during the caravan ambush.
Quajath: An ancient and powerful entity, referred to as “the Worm”, that slumbers deep beneath the ice of Eiselcross. Its dreams are a psychic contagion, infecting the minds of the lost and promising warmth and communion, but delivering only madness and servitude. It targeted Kragor with its telepathic dreams, causing him immense pain and relentlessly hunting him through its followers, the Wormkin. The party recently learned these fanatic wildlings are locally known as “Mawcotters”, an obsessive cult that undertakes dark pilgrimages to harvest and consume the frozen worm’s flesh.
Rimeflake: A white dragon hatched from an egg discovered by the party on the Foren plains. Kragor carried the egg back to the Greying Wildlands, watched over it until its hatching, and fed it for a few days until it was grown enough to fly into the mountains to do its own hunting. “Rimeflake” and just “Flake” are Kragor’s nicknames for the wyrmling.
Sparky: Scarlet’s owl wild companion. A loyal and effective scout, Sparky provides aerial reconnaissance for the party.
Thilda: A perpetually exhausted dwarven pelt-sharer in Palebank Village, who became the primary beneficiary of Doctor Pepe’s lavish spending and hedonism.
Waffles: Kragor’s bat familiar.
