They are the elected heroes, plucked randomly and thrown into this story. Kevin and Tim-tom had their home destroyed in the fey wild and came to Tethyr after escaping. Cialis was reborn in the area and appointed by Corellon to give the party extra support. Solei left home after the loss of her mate and seeks a new life. The group failed to protect the queen as their eyes were clouded to the danger of the burning house but an Assassin, the gnome girl Lonissa turned out to be a doppleganger working for the Oni murdered the queen and has fled the town.

The Oni from the vision. He is on a mission of revenge on all fey kind, specially the elf. From what is known to the chosen party and a select few is that his father, The Lord Oni Ebinseku was looking to unite his brethren under his banner instead of other lords and plot to disrupt the peace of the fey wild and Toril. Atleast that is what Corellon foresaw and had the Lord murdered before he ever had a chance to enact his plans. Ikrikaru is looking to avenge his father and began destroying the fey wild and now has plans to shatter the bonds of peace between the humans and fey. Reeping the unholy benefits of the war to increase his power. He is a master of deception, he steals the faces of anyone he has met and uses this skill to gain trust and bring a land into discord. His real face is never revealed, he always wears a mask and when he removes it, its usually under the guise of someone else. He orchestrated the attack on Mosstone with help from the Branch and Cult of the Dragon and his own undead minions but was beaten off by the town and its allies and currently hides in Orgoth's tower far to the east, ever scheming.

He is very athletic, skilled with a blade, accurate with a bow, an excellent rider, and he’s very handsome with his long brownish-red hair and hazel eyes. Though he cares not for any of this, he always seems aloof. He can always be seen on duty but it seems he is never paying attention and is always staring off at the sky. Michael has revealed himself only to Enwy that he is a member of the Shadow Thieves and seeks his organizations help in providing a rather interesting boon of security from the guild. Michael is currently leading a group of Estra's personal guard into the Underdark to investigate the Spawn monster's origins and what lurks under the town. 

Lonissa
Lonissa wears the guise of a young gnome girl but in truth she is a young doppleganger, only recently discovered by the chosen party. It is unsure why she wears the guise but she seems like a kind hearted girl. She has gained the queens favor and almost always stays at that residence. She was rescued by the chosen group abandoned in the Wealdath. She was being attacked by pale reavers who kept saying to kill her for the master. It is believed she hailed from the same village Kevin and Tim-tom did. Despite being made by the party, she continued on her mission to get close to the queen and kill her. She fled the town with the chosen group on her heels, heading back to her master Ikrikaru. 

Rida Crupton
Rida is a middle-aged human female that ran the Prowling Panther Inn located on the town square. She is always busy running the bar and bull-shitting with all the various people who come to town. Good food, fair prices and she will even let you bus tables and work to pay your board. She was injured during a scuffle between a goliath and suspected members of the Cult of the Dragon but she wasn’t out of commission for long.

No one really knows her very well and what else she does besides performing. She is rather new to town. Her employment is being sought after by Keyia and Rida. 

Hogar Tarak
If you went into Mosstone and were looking for the thieves guild. The young Half-orc Hogar is about as close as you could get. He is a rather strange boy who runs a small group of kids who plunder and steal from shops. Petty stuff. He has a strange habit of rolling a 20 sided dice to determine his actions and whether he deems something good or bad. He is always looking to make a buck and even built a finely crafted tunnel that runs into the Queen’s residence. He was apprehended by the PC's for looting the Archdruid's home but his stupidity uncovered a strange immurement the Archdruid was working on. 

Ysabel Linden
She is next in line for the throne should the Queen be taken out. The Branch of Linden seeks to put her on the throne and have Tethyr become a land for humans alone. She has sent her most trusted Knight with a contingent of his best men to Mosstone to find out what happened to her aunt, she can't officially take the thrown until she finds the Queen or what happened to her. 

Tabriel Restraleose
Estra for short is the leader of Varis, the main settlement of the elves in the Wealdath. He is rather young for a leader but seems to be doing a fine job. He can be a little standoffish at times and seems to have a rivalry with the Archdruid of Mosstone. It was also revealed that Estra was instrumental in the destruction of the Oni’s father. He also had relations with William Taleron before his passing. Estra declined to help Mosstone during it's darkest hour, he was at odds with Radagast over the ritual being performed on the tree. He claims that the ritual may ward the town from the horrors of the land but that it shines brightly underground and attracts far worse enemies. He has sent his personal guard to investigate this matter. 

Zarakxurxarn
The white dragon living inside the Great Oak of Mosstone. He his currently in hiding after his clan north of Vaasa in the Great Glacier was wiped out by a dark and terrible power. He fled all the way south and is being kept safe from the local green dragons by Garlokanthra. The dragon was captured by the Cult of the Dragon during the siege on Mosstone, though research into the disappearence reveals that the dragon was growing at an alarming rate and it seemed the Archdruid was studying the effects of the tree on the Dragon and believed it is what caused him to grow so rapidly. 

Garlokanthra
She is an ancient gold dragon that helps uphold the peace of Tethyr. The chosen group tried to obtain her council but later learned she fled her den and is believed to have taken humanoid form for some unknown purpose. She still hides, and she did not come to Tethyr's aid when Mosstone was being attacked which questions if she really is an ally of the land. 

Dragonrider Garland
This Eladrin is said to be a Dragonrider for Garlokanthra. It is his sworn duty to protect her and aid her in any endeavors. He came to Mosstone to investigate the Branch of Linden. He wears shiny golden armor from head to toe and has agreed to help the Chosen group with guarding the Queen while they went on another mission. He has a history with the Wanderer that has caused a bitter rivalry between the two seemingly over their love for Garlokanthra. Garland refuses to let him see her as he believes that he still works with the Cult and will only bring her harm. 

Aumak Kaavoi (The Wanderer)
A mysterious goliath that stayed at the Prowling Panther for weeks on end, sitting at a table and just tapping his fingers waiting for something. Kevin eventually got curious enough to break into this persons room and steal a letter from him. The letter was later revealed to be from the Cult of the Dragon and they were telling the wanderer that he needed to come back. The letter also has a special ritual cast upon it that allows the caster to hear everything said in the letter’s presence. Despite this, the party proceeded to tell the wanderer their mission. He had some purpose in mind and he told the group to go to Garlokanthra and warn her of the Cult’s involvement in the area and she may not be safe. He spilt from the group in hopes to slow the cult down. It was revealed that he left the Cult due to an arguement with it's leader at the time about the group's pursuit of Garlokanthra as its greatest Dracolich that would rival any created before it. Aumak had fallen in love with the Humanoid form of the dragon and forever seeks to be with her and keep her from harm though his rivalry with Garland keeps the two seperated. 

William Taleron IV

He has one of the easiest but most boring jobs in the militia. He is now the man of the house and must truly think about what to do next.

=Slain=

Archdruid Radagast
The “leader” of Mosstone and head of the local council, he is an Eladrin Druid who protects the city of Mosstone by keeping a powerful ward in place using the Great Oak of Mosstone as the main reagent. He has the typical blonde hair and blue eyes of the Eladrin kind though he wears rather outlandish elvish clothing that rarely seems to match, though it fits his personality. He seems a little sarcastic and a little condescending at times when someone does have the privilege to talk to him. He normally is very reclusive but lately has allowed people into his home, though it seems only his fellow council members and the chosen of Corellon. Radagast fell during the siege, being attacked relentlessly by the Oni and slain by Thorin right at the end when the Branch told Thorin to hurry and complete his mission. The Oni seized the opportunity and took his soul. Radagast did not pass on the technique of the barrier to anyone else and as it stands the barrier around the town will fade in perhaps a months time. After the party investigated his home, they found the strange immurement seeming to contain the Great Oak of Mosstone inside, letters from the Underdark and from a being named Kyuss and also seemingly that he knew of the Cult's involvement inside the Oak and with the dragon. <br style="clear:both" />

Thorin Zuelias
Thorin is the typical monk character. He is well-mannered, disciplined and in great physical and mental shape. He lives as the sole human amongst the elves of the Wealdath. He proclaims that he has a troubled past with his family and this is part of his atonement for it. He tries with all his might to protect them and do whatever he can for them in turn for their generosity for letting him stay amongst them. He is a little taken with Enwy as she is one of the few humans he gets to interact with but not in a romantic sense. He last came to Mosstone on a mission for the elves though he kept it pretty secret about what it was, though it involved the Queen. It was revealed by Darren that Thorin has ties to the Branch of Linden and more specifically, Ysabel Linden. He claims to have left these ties behind but it is uncertain as the Branch gave him an order during the siege and he killed Radagast. Raven brought him down after his treachery and his soul now belongs to Ikrikaru. <br style="clear:both" />

Queen Anais
Queen Anais has had a troubled rule, starting with the machinations of her half-sister Evonne Linden, who made a play for the throne. In 1469 DR, all the queen’s nieces and nephews were slain in what has come to be called the Children’s Massacre—all except for her niece Ysabel, the only surviving heir to the throne. That same night, in a coordinated attack in another town, Evonne Linden was also killed. She is a very mature lady as you suspect a queen but she is willing to give an audience with almost anyone as long as it wouldn’t jeopardize her safety. The Queen has decided to take refuge in Mosstone to escape the Branch of Linden but it seemingly has followed her here. The queen is also staying in the home that was foreseen to burn down by the Oni. She has taken quite a liking to Lonissa. It was that liking that lead to her death as she was killed by the Doppleganger. Her death was kept hidden from all the town and during the siege on the town it was made to believe she fled. Her "disappearance" is being investigated by Ser Tallishore of Darromar on Ysabel's behalf. <br style="clear:both" />

William Taleron III
William is Enwy’s father who was murdered on the night the queen first came to Mosstone. The Branch of Linden is suspected to be the murderers. He was a kind man who cared very deeply for his business of selling elvish clothing and was known to travel to the Wealdath and acquire the merchandise himself. He was suspected to be influential in the keeping of and arranging the peace between the Fey and Human folk though what part he played remains a mystery. He was a council member. <br style="clear:both" />

Willent Brumblewood
Willent is an over-weight, sleezy, smelly, stuck-up business human male who deals in goods similar to the Taleron family. He has 2 shops in Mosstone, one at each main entrance to the town - the north and south. He always eyed the Taleron families business since it was located in the prime location of town square. After the murder of William, he purchased the shop from the family and now has what he wants. He was spotted working with the Branch of Linden and had Enwy’s father killed by them for multiple reasons. Though no charges have been filed against the man due to a strong alibi. He is the final member of the council. It was recently found out his was killed by "Spawn" and buried in a plot outside of his own home. A strange symbol with Worms on it was found buried with him. <br style="clear:both" />

Maxwell
Maxwell was a kind and gentle, albeit a little special in the head drawven druid who lived in the Wealdath and claimed he protected the woods from all evil. Seemingly a pet of Estra's, he was banished from Varis but told he could do as he pleased and protect the woods from harm. Ikrikaru, under the guise of Thorin came to Maxwell and brought him into Mosstone where he might serve a greater purpose in life than just running around the Wealdath. He worked with the PC's for a time and befriended them all with his light-heartered attitude. For reason's unknown he was brought into the town but he quickly died by the hands of the Oni just before the siege started. Maxwell had found Father Memin in a graveyard performing some strange rituals but he saw through the disguise and realized it was Ikrikaru and he took it upon himself to stop him at the cost of his life and soul.<br style="clear:both" />

Darren was a Branch of Linden member who murdered William Taleron III. He served under Willent though met his end at the hands of Thorin after revealing information about his past. <br style="clear:both" />

Wilford
Wilford was the Wearer of Purple for the Cult of the Dragon's cell in Tethyr. He seeked to control the Dragon infested region by starting with the weaker Green and working his way up to Balagos and Garlokanthra. He captured Zarakxurxarn with help from the 'Font of Knowledge' which is believed Ikrikaru. After the capture, the group came back to the Oak to reclaim its bribes to the white dragon but ran into the PC's. Wilford fled but came back later only to find his end by the hands of Michael Leftin.<br style="clear:both" />

Sage McAvoy
Sage was a cult member brought in due to his family's riches to serve as a benefactor for the cult. He was captured by the PC's and revealed much information about the Cult to the group and was looking to start a new life though he was murdered in secret by Michael.
