Tales of Derlusk (NPCs)

These are the Non-Playing Characters of Tales of Derlusk.

Morthyr Caloway
Morthyr is an average height man with broad shoulders and heavy armor. He often carries a wide array of weapons wherever he goes. Though he is seen as the most serious of the Adventuring Leaders of Derlusk, he has become relaxed after having an easy time protecting the Derlusk from minor threats.

Morthyr is the a member of an adventuring group that currently rules Derlusk. Morthyr currently acts as the head guard of the city. He is a devout follower of Torm that firmly believes in justice. His rigid ideals often makes him at odds with his teammates and his other associates. He gained his rule as a favor from Justin Langston, the one who reorganized the Derlusk. 

Nol Sefaris
Nol is a pretty boy Drow who wears a white and red frilly shirt that he often leaves open. He stands out in a crowd, and few men with wicked hearts haven't heard of his business and his practices. He often tries to enslave people in bets that he often cheats, and does similar practices to obtain women for his personal harem and his prostitution business. His actions often get the blind eye because of inside deals or his countless successes as the head scout.

Nol was born in the Underdark as a slave to several drow mistresses. Some would believe that his horrible life without dignity would make him understand and value his freedom, but instead it showed him the pleasures of owning slaves and a harem. Nol is utter trash, and he prefers it that way. He is not out to impress anyone and he is well aware of how popular he is within the city. Despite his ways, he does have his own code that he follows for his own self respect. Nol is the head scout for Derlusk, and it is one of the few things that he does reliably.

Nol's decadent lifestyle, however, came to an end on the night of Ches 22nd when Derlusk was invaded by the drow. He fought to protect the city he lived in and the people that hated him. 

Walter Chapman
‎ Walter is dressed finer than most rich men, and he is chiseled like a man-god. His most distinguished feature is his large mustache that wraps around his head into his sideburns. He would be a very imposing man, but he has the most innocent and charming smile that would make anyone feel at home around him.

Walter has been a butler in the Rythemor family for years and his friendship with Volante's parents go back into his mysterious past. Not much is known about his past to anyone aside from Volante, but it does seem odd how someone that is a butler is well traveled. What is known is that his culinary skills are simply amazing. 

SunRa
‎SunRa is a shorter tanned man wearing medium armor and very unique and ornate armor with long hair held firmly in his headpiece. He comes from the east, and he does not hide it in his appearance. He and his men were known during his time as a warlord for their expert training of griffon's and other exotic mounts.

Originally from the far east, SunRa's tribe left as a result of his own personal ambitions. He joined the Border Kingdoms to make a name for himself. He became a warlord in Thaymarsh that helped Langston's team against an invasion from the west. After SunRa helped defeated the human and Genasi forces from the west, he and several other warlords from the Border Kingdoms started fighting for supremacy. Moletus, and Langston called out the warlords and defeated them. Under the new system of government, the previous warlords who helped save the Border Kingdoms were powerless. Unable to get hired, SunRa devoted himself to a life of crime and anarchy to regain his dignity. 

Noreaga Magellan Meadros (Blades Magellan)
Not much is known about this human mystery besides the fact that he is awesome incarnate. He is Derlusk's Adventuring Mercenary and local celebrity. The only thing about him more sharpened than his swords would be his ego. Blades is a master at being in the spot light and his ability to absorb attention with his surprisingly impressive skills are enough to impress everyone. Blades often travels with a group that dedicates themselves for his missions. He is the lowest rank of the adventuring authorities inside the city, but the highest rank besides the leaders if parties are outside city limits.

Blades Magellan is as beautiful as a man can get without looking like a man. He has golden long blond hair that magically stays shiny, no matter what. He often dresses in white or light colors and always wears a confident smile on his face. He speaks slowly and low and often prefers to have as many people around him as possible. 

Robert Dominic
Robert is a High Accordant in the Order of the Blue Fire. He is an experienced and knowledgeable wizard and a connoisseur of historical texts and spell books. He acts to increase his knowledge of rituals and wishes to know all magic ever created. He is a veteran within the Order and one of the higher ranks within the organization. He knows of its dark side, but wishes to defend the organization's credibility from its connections to the Sharn.

Robert Stands at an impressive height of 6'4. Though he is wearing robes, he is has very large broad shoulders. He wears red and gold robes with a symbol of an eye covered in blue fire. That symbol is in the center of a symbol of a scroll. He wears large round black glasses that hide his eyes from view(sunglasses that don't block the sun).

Robert Dominic is perceived to be dead or dealt with when Ienagar's ritual tore him into a portal Dominic had no revealed acts of betrayal from the Order of the Blue Fire, but he was to be marked from dead. Dominic is believed to be one of the last users of the ancient Netherverse ritual that he used to create the cloud. It is believed that some fact about this ability is what caused Ienagar to frame him for Darin's actions and kill him for the benefit of the Order of the Blue Fire. Dominic has become a known traitor to the organization. At this point, it is believed that only Dominic was capable of creating the cloud. It is known that both Dominic and the Sharn are capable of controlling its powers. There is an intrinsic connection between the powers of the cloud and the powers within the Sharn themselves that Dominic had used in the cloud's creation. There are still many unanswered questions about the methods that such a cloud could be utilized and how it is derived from the ancient Weave. 

Justin Langston
He is a mystery to most people and a hero to most in the Border Kingdoms. An anonymous tip came from those in the West about the state of defenses in the Border Kingdoms, and several cities were attacked by several Genasi of Memnon and mercenaries that worked for them. Langston and team of adventurers helped create groups of resistance along the Border Kingdoms to fight this upcoming threat. Justin and his team were able to defeat the Efreets as the assembled resistance helped defeat the threat. The resistance was not well coordinated and then fought amongst themselves for power. Justin's next heroic deed came as the savior of the land from its self. His team assembled the warlords and defeated each of them. When the battle was complete, the team drafted a constitution that would change the nature of the Border Kingdoms. Langston remained in the area to make sure that it would be followed. The warlords disbanded and Langston disappeared.

Justin Langston is average height with brown hair. He dresses in fairly common, but well dressed attire. He smiles more often then not. He has been spotted lately with two very noticeable divine symbols. The symbol of Amanautor on the front and the symbol of Selune on his back often perplex people that might get a glimpse of Justin as he wonders the Border Kingdoms. 

Basil Cardoni
Basil was the envoy from Derlusk to the Elven tribe of Abn'dak. A rather eclectic half-elf, it was made quite clear that even though he may have other talents, Basil's real zeal lies in singing. Unfortunately, he is completely tone deaf and does not know how to play his lute very well. His misaligned tunes resulted in chaotic results during battle, much to the chagrin of his protectors.

Basil has a connection to the leader of the Abn'dak, the young elf Seaspark - one that is way too close for the xenophobic elves of the tribe. He remained with the Abn'dak after a successful mission there. Basil is of medium height, has longer blond hair, and is a little on the skinny side. His dress matches his personality in its randomness.

Within a few weeks of thier first encounter, Basil went missing from the Abn'dak territory, thought to be taken prisoner in the ruins of Sheirtalar. When the Adventuring Guard arrived to rescue him, it became quite clear that Basil was on the Order's side, and was even helping them in trying to spread the spellplague to the Feywild. When asked his reason for this betrayal, he admitted it was simply curiosity in Ienagar's "Genius." It also became quite clear that the lute was Basil's second instrument: a very dangerous flute accompanied him. It has since been warned that Basil's singing is something to be feared. 

Hailey Blackstar
Hailey is a rogue and former leader of an adventuring party that roamed across much of southern Faerun. Her party met their doom in Innarlith, with only her right hand man Roger Hammersky surviving with her. Hailey is in her late 20s, tall and muscular and as tough as they come. She doesn't take kindly to those who think they are better than her, and has a passion for meat, ale, and tall men in heavy armor. Through the rough exterior, and past the very sharp swords, is an intelligent, even conniving mind, and it is a sure bet she has several plans for her stay in Derlusk. It is clear to the adventuring guard that she has a plan to try and return to Innarlith - it is also clear that she needs help, and knows there is great benefit to returning.

Roger always seems to be at her side, but says little. He is broad, strong man in his early 30s who appears somewhat oafish in social situations. He has a near sibling bond to Hailey, however, and has said in public that he will follow her until he cannot walk anymore. Roger enjoys a good and fair fight and is known to have one of the thickest heads around. He enjoys boxing matches, which he almost always wins. 

Aachlaach-Menechlaach
Aachlaach-Menechlaach is a gambling black dragon. Not much is really known about him aside from the fact that he loves to gamble, and he has a tendency to work up a big debt. In Unsettled Debts, he was a background character as a young black dragon working with the Crocodile Tride. He made his first true cameo, and maybe more as an adult black dragon in the Tales of Derlusk.

He appeared along side a purple dragon clearly working for Ienagar Whitehorn. Aachlaach-Menechlaachs ambitions seem to merely involve his greed and love of gambling, but it is truly difficult to tell if this dragon has any other ambitions.

He looks like a regular black dragon, with one key item on him at all times. Aachlaach-menechlaach will always have his gambling visor on either in shape shifting or in his dragon form. If he is gambling, chances are he will have the smaller pot. His gambling strategy consists of always betting all the time. This may put people in a false sense of security around him. Though he gambles with no sense of mind, this is not to distract people from his overall sense of cunning and wit. 

Darin Blacksteed
He is a high accordant of the Order of the Blue fire, just as Robert Dominic. There is a difference to their job description and their ranking. Darin acts more as an accordant and less like a researcher. Unlike Dominic, Darin is very loyal to his cause and thus has earned more respect in the Order of the Blue Fire. Darin is more of a tactician, but less of a ritual master than Dominic. Darin himself is still a skilled ritual caster. Unlike Dominic who does not see Ienagar as a boss, but just as a superior, Darin works directly under Ienagar and was trusted with the intimate knowledge of his plan to infect the Fey Wild with the Spellplague.

Darin is tall, wearing blue and gold robes. He has fairly short black hair and it appears that he is weaing armor under his robes. His face shows an often crooked smile that is part of an unusually calm face. His robes are nearly the same as Dominic's, even to where the Order of the Blue Fire symbol is located. The only difference is that the symbol is not on a preexisting symbol of Oghma.

Darin is straight to the point His superiors and fellow high accordants act either in careless fashions or prefer theatrics over results, but Darin does not fall into either category. In many respects, he gives more to the organization than any of his superiors, including his boss Ienagar.

Not much is known of his personal ambition, but Lorelle was given information that Darin was a Cyricite who joined to help spread Cyric's great art during the Year of the Blue Fire. 

Ienagar Whitehorn
He is one of the top ranking individuals within the Order of the Blue Fire. There since its beginnings, few members have a higher regard for chaos and destruction than Ienagar. Some say the careful tactician died when he achieved great power. He seems to move around as he pleases with little concern for anything he does. Though he appears to have no concern, this does not mean that he in incapable of devious plans. Ienagar is the one who is orchestrating the plans to infect Feywild with the Spellplague and the mastermind behind Darin and Gastav.

Those that know him in the Order of the Blue Fire fear, respect and even hate his power and influence. He does little to hide his power and enjoys to indulge himself an a game of chance whenever possible. His other connections have made him even more powerful allies than the in the Order of the Blue Fire. He is believed to have several personal henchmen, that include even the aid of several dragons.

His a short gnome with rainbow colored hair and rainbow colored eyes. He rarely uses his true name and generally travels under an alias.

Also see Ienagar Whitehorn's 3.5e wiki page. 

Gastav Landenburg
Gastav was an accordant who traveled along with Dominic in his bandwagon group to gain supporters to the Order of the Blue Fire. His role was to ensure that Robert Dominic was completing his objectives and acting appropriately as the head of his group. Unlike most groups of accordant, this group was made specifically to spread the good nature of the Order of the Blue Fire and encourage people to go and make the pilgrimage in the plague lands.

Gastav's darker mission was as a living lens for Ienagar Whitehorn. Through Gastav, Ienagar would know when and where to strike Dominic when the time was right. Gastav was high ranking accordant also. His role was noticeably lower than either Dominic or Darin, but he had directly worked under Ienagar and volunteered to do this mission and possibly sacrifice himself for the Order's wishes. 

Deondell
Deondell was the half Eladrin leader of the castle in the Feywild. Deondell is a seasoned adventurer that escaped from Myth Drannor with the Phaerimm moved in during their eradication by the Shadovar Empire. The Spellplague's effects to Myth Drannor left it weak, but Deondell lead a small force of Eladrin into the Feywild.

Deondell is far more accepting than the average Eladrin, but he still holds some elitist thoughts about elves and Eladrin versus other races. He basically ordered the Adventurers Guard of Derlusk into the Feydark to learn more about the involvement of Hezz and the other Formorians to Darin's plan to infect the Feywild. Deondell sent another team into the Feydark with the party to find relatively little about the connection between the Formorians and the Order of the Blue Fire.

In the end, Deondell, remembered stories of his uncle that adventured and died in Sudolphor with humans and many other races and accepted the new adventurers as equals and got equal respect back after his personal body guards created the portal to return back to the material plane. Deondell later would give resistance to the next attack on the Feywild staged by Ruvido Rythemor.

Forzando Rythemor
One of the younger brothers of Volante; an arrogant, greedy, child with a superiority complex to anyone who cannot wield the power of money. He exploits the family fortune for his own misguided ends. He is an Elf hater, deep seated in the myths that the Spell Plague was designed by Elves. He allied himself with Blue Fire to fund their research and spread of the Spell Plague. He meets up with the party in the catacombs of Mage Doom and confronts them. He is later subdued and interrogated.

Ruvido Rythemor
He was the oldest of the dark brothers of the Rythemor family. As a prodigy of the dark arts, he believed he had gained the trust of a questionable, but powerful lich arcanist, Dhal Grishamel. Ruvido was one of the main benefactors for the Order of the Blue Fire and specifically worked with the organization to further his own research and ends. Like most Rythemor family, Ruvido is very racist against elves and plans on using the Spellplague to kill all non-humans.

Ruvido betrayed the Order of the Blue Fire to further his own ends. Ruvido was foiled by his older brother, Arioso and the rest of the Adventurer's Guard of Derlusk. Ruvido later showed up in Innarlith under the guidance of Dhal Grishamel. Ruvido met a horrible end at the hands of Dhal's beast when he was dragged into the Shadowfell and absorbed by a horrible monstrous beast.

Dhal Grishamel
Dhal is a power arcanist lich that holds terrible ancient magics that he combined with newer forms to create new and horrible beings. Dhal is Ruvido's master, but like other students of Dhal, Ruvido was cast aside when Dhal saw no use for him and the evil child of the Rythemor family was sacrificed to a being of infinite darkness. No one knew Dhal's true purpose, it was likely that he used Ruvido to get inside the Order of the Blue Fire so that he could mentor Ruvido into discovering an art that he would master to make his beast into an even more abominable creation.

Dhal got away with no incident. The Adventurers Guard of Derlusk was too frozen with fear at the sight of Dhal's beast to react or attack.

Maxamilian Bozenki
Maxamilian was a scholar that was working with The Blue Fire. He and his Blue Fire colleagues were researching the Spell Plague which was flowing towards to the statute of The God King of Innarlith. His goal was to further enhance the evolution of mankind. He showed great intellect along with great insanity for his research involves live human beings which often leaves them brutally dismembered or horrifically mutated. He kidnapped Volant's younger brother Morendo and transformed him into an evil demon. Volant eventually put Morendo out of his misery. Maxamilian eventually met his end by Innis and company within the throne of the God King itself. He dropped the Cyrinishad after he dropped to the ground. Rumors had it that Maxamilian died over a hundred years ago due to crimes against humanity with his barbaric practices in Ordulan; and yet, he stood alive furthering his research. Maxamilian's Spell Plague research eventually fell into the hands of Dhal Grishamel.

Zenedrake
A mysterious magician that appeared in Derlusk. Not much is known about the magician other than he dresses in a tuxedo, a cloak, a large top hat and has yellow eyes. He appeared before Innis and company and has immediately earned their distrust. He introduced himself to the party as a messenger for Horrace. He tried to direct the party towards Innarlith to pursue Basil and The Blue Fire. He was last seen by Lorelle giving the Cyrinishad to Dominic, whom was presumed dead.

Horus
Horus is a powerful aberration that worked with Kaos. Horus's connection to the Order of the Blue Fire and to its enemies remains at conflict to anyone around him. He is believed to be a servant of Ienagar and an ally of Robert at the same time. The truth about Horus is shrouded in mystery.

Horus is a Larva Mage. He looks like a human dressed in dark brown robes with very slump shoulders. He speaks through telepathy. There is no deviation in his voice for emotions.

Horus has given useful information to the Adventurer's Guard of Derklusk, but also attacked them on their way to Theymarsh. The last time the group suspected Horus was around was when he killed vampires in the north and spoke to the group once more. There is when he displayed his supposed duel double agent activity against both Dominic and Whitehorn.

Horus is really one of the many aberrations that make up a council run by the six collective minds of an extinct race seeking revenge on variety of targets, including the Sharn. Horus worked with Kaos as a subordinate, and also keeping an eye on Kaos as the wishes of the council.

Graham Bakura Mandalax
"May the heavens howl in despair for I have returned." The God King of Innarlith, whom after a century of silence and inactivity, has returned to Innarlith with a loud explosion and two angels at his side. Alvaraz and Fred look in fear at his dominant presence as he enters back into his castle completely ignoring the party. His wrath was swift and devastating to those who have desecrated Innarlith for their own personal gain. Only Innis and company, along with the people Derlusk know of his return. What evil plans does The God King of Innarlith have in store for the newly formed world around him?
