Isabelle "Izzy" Gardeau
When Izzy was young, her uncle killed her father and sold her into slavery. In a misguided attempt at revenge, she was chased into the Great Fungal Swamp where she would find the sword to change her life forever.
"I need to feed my friend, and you will do nicely."
"I have stuff to do, and it doesn’t involve you and Estre’s love fest."
"Fine, if you both die, then don’t blame me."
Baal
Baal is an ancient, evil, intelligent, vampiric sword bent on the destruction of mankind. That is on a good day.
"I was multitudes, but now I am one."
"Delicious!"
"I just showed the Ratter a better exit strategy. Well, better for you, anyway."
Estre D'laura
Estre was born into a wealthy family in the Garden District of Orlessia. Her childhood was idyllic until her father offended one of the Five and was exiled into the Trades. The Trades District poisoned her sister, drove her mother into madness and addiction, and murdered her father.
Vowing to clean up the city, she became an enforcer with the solitary goal of killing as many of the ones responsible for her family's death as she could.
"Oh, these old-lady sagging boobs!"
"Too soon, slacks."
"Let me take this burden from you. You don’t have to give in."
Humphrey
Humphrey loves his homestead clover. He loves frolicking in the tall grass and getting his neck scratched. Don't let his gentle demeanor and listless clip-clopping fool you, he is a valiant stallion who will always protect the ones he loves.
"Hrumph."
"You do not look like you will be much of a burden."
Tommy
His frail, elven face with the mangled left ear and numerous scars betray the horrific life he has endured. At only seven, the Ratters killed his parents and forced him and his sister into a life of slavery. She was used, and he was put on the streets to beg. He was lucky they only beat him and did not take his limbs. One day, his handler did not return. Summoning up the courage, Tommy took his meager earnings and fled Orlessia as fast as he could.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my mind?"
Laddie
Tommy's constant companion. This exuberant dog is always happy and eager for affection.
"Aroo, yip yip, aroo."
Penelope Dubois
Penelope Dubois is a wood elf originally from the forest of Tal-El. Her elven name is P’delana Atricea, but she has not gone by that in a long time. Most know her as Penelope Dubois. An herbalist of some renown, she spends much of her time in Portslip helping those in need with her potions and remedies. When she is not plying her trade, she gathers ingredients in the Lily Lakes and the Dead Crags. Currently, she occupies a stall in the Portslip marketplace but hopes to save enough to purchase a more permanent store.
"Get down, Laddie. Let the poor girl be."
"That thing is pure evil! I could feel it."
T’lathia Cearlanis
Lost and forlorn.
