Segaric Wandariks
Segaric grew up in the Kingdom of Vandor, working as a tradesman until joining the church in his mid-30s. When the kingdom disintegrated into the Ten Princedoms, he left his homeland and set off with the church’s blessing to find adventure and spread the word. After five years abroad in the neighboring nation-states, he honed his skills through a series of encounters with danger. However, in his travels, he developed a nasty habit of drinking himself to sleep, and often begins his days with a residual buzz from the night before. Now in his late 40s, his study of the domains of water and destruction drive his conscious thought, those few times he’s not intoxicated, though arguably the booze is the intersection of water and destruction, a sort of destructive water…

Wil’nniea and Wil’ancyn, Sister Enchantresses and Water Mages
Born together in the desert, Wil’nniea and Wil’ancyn were raised in a temple dedicated to the worship of magic and water. Underground cisterns and mysterious rituals surrounded them as small girls.
As they grew up in this desert temple of Baccob, god of magic, they learned many things. Each of their mystical abilities grew, similar but different, like two mirror images, one dark and one light. Wil’nniea’s abilities were wild and rooted in her love of the natural world. Wil’ancyn’s talents came to her through worship, study, and the devotions she shared with the others in the temple.
In later life they were among a very few preistesses of Baccob that escaped the great Anmagus Crusade, and eventually fought in battle against the champions of the Order of the Sword of Light defending the last standing temple of Baccob in the northern reaches of the middle kingdom. They were able to ward the Crusaders off, and the siege lay unbroken for seven years, until the Crusade was finally ended by the High Pontiff of Heronious and the Order was recalled and sent on other errands.
Of course by this time the Crusade had achieved it’s end: the arts of magic were practiced only in secret throughout all of the middle kingdoms, and the worship of Baccob was unknown among it’s peoples.
Presented below are their stats as they were during the siege of the Temple of Boccob.

Melangell Blackwing, Wizard
This wizard is the result of a nocturnal encounter between a half-elven weaver and an incubus who was terrorizing a small village’s women. Melangell and her mother were forced to flee their home almost as soon as she was born, as a mob was gathering to put an end to the life of this bastard deamon child. They escaped and eventually found sanctuary at a temple to Wee Jas. The child was raised with much help from the priestesses of the temple, who knew that this child would come to ill, or cause it if not carefully tended to.
As a young girl, Melangell took to magery like a swan to water. Some of the presitesses were reluctant to teach her, but she was always the brightest and quickest student, and quite charming when she wanted to get her way.
At the age of thirteen, chafing under the sternly watchful eyes of the temple mothers, she left to find her own way in the world. Stubborn and headstrong, only her keen wits and her strong magic allowed her to survive her adolescence. Many villages through which she wandered still curse her name. A few in those villages thank the gods she came to them.
Eventually she was lured to the remote tower of Vegarin the Drake-master for his own nefarious purposes. After many contests she eventually defeated him in a wizard’s duel. His petrified form still stands in her foyer, captured in the midst of casting a spell, covered in cloaks and hats. She still uses his abode as a home, with it’s well-stocked library and alchemical laboratories, though her wanderlust means she is rarely there.
Grown to full womanhood, Melangell has matured somewhat. She is still known to make snap decisions, and can be very cruel when she feels slighted, but has finally arrived at a place in her life where she feels that she has adequate control over her own destiny, which allows her to relax slightly.
A darkly beautiful woman with fine clear features, dark, straight hair, and a slight frame, Melangell’s deamonic heritage is betrayed by her red eyes and small horns, and by her thin spade-tipped tail, which she carefully conceals beneath her dresses and cloaks.

Mpa-Mda Mba-Mta (Pada Bata)
A slave brought to Sassarine from the inlands, his name means “fight person, burn death.” After years as under these conditions, he broke his bonds, escaped, and is now an outlaw. Mpa-Mda survives as a swordsman and swashbucker, his towering physique providing an amazing reach for his rapier. A fugitive, he must hide his face in public with his hood. Another reason for hiding his face in the city is that he has some nasty scarring on both sides of his face and down his back from years of being beaten.
He lives in a small camp on Parrot Island (off the Shadowshore) and rides the tides at night on his makeshift raft, living off fish and what he collects along the shore. He has befriended a cadre of homeless kids from Shadowshore who bring him information and small goods in exchage for warrior training and occasional protection.
There are those who call him Death itself. When he finally hunts down Captain Adelard and his men, he will indeed bring about their deaths. This is his number one goal.
Recently Pada had a run-in with the slaver that originally brought him to the area and sold him to Captain Adelard. After helping some other slaves to escape, Pada ended up with a new friend: a grig who calls herself Flitaround Jumpkins. Flit now lives with Pada in his cave on Parrot Island.

Nazur Tscheryn
The renouned mage of Charille created many magic items found in the realm.
Outclassed in his youth by other mages of the day, notably Djander, he spent much of his early adulthood amassing a fortune crafting magic items for the merchant and the upper classes. This enabled him to practice magics with minimal supervision, especially by the authorities of the kingdom. There are those who say he experimented with dark magic, but he actually remained clear of the school of necromancy, which tempted him at every turn in his research.
Over his career, he has gone down in history as the creator of many magic items found within the realm:
Bag of Haggling
Brooch of Tangents
Ring of Melding
Cloak of Midnight
Helm of Hiding
Appraiser’s Gem
Rod to Ruin
Nazur’s Wand and its many variants
many warded coffins
In his golden years, he has created a potpourri mixture of reagents he calls Magedust which has been known to improve the duration of certain schools of magic, among other effects.
Speaking to him of Djander (even to this day) sends him into a rage.

Denssa Gradon
Denssa is a creature of pure power: draconic blood runs strong in her veins and she has channeled her arcane power into destructive avenues. A distant descendant of a black dragon (or so she claims, pointing to her dark red scales), Denass speaks with a wickedly forked tongue. A compulsive liar, nothing she says can be trusted. A practiced liar, it’s almost impossible to tell (+21 Bluff).
This facility combines with the disguise self from her magic ring quite well in social situations, and as a result she is the Iron Coven’s main spy.
Often she will work with Bara Hunanik, bugbear cleric, to create magic items they need to execute the Iron Coven’s plans.

Djander
In his youth, Djander outcast his contemporaries in every mage competition. But those were days when the citizens were less superstitious, when the Kingdom of Vandor stretched over the northern lands and magic was revered. His successes granted him access to the king, who hired him as the kingdom’s chief mage and counsel.
For the next twenty years, Djander researched and developed most of the new magic in Vandor while the kingdom’s power waned. During this time, he began to experiment with Time magic. When the king passed, the land split into the Ten Princedoms. In the smallest princedom, the Isle of Trochu, Djander lives today, though he splits his arcane consulting services among all ten princes.
Slightly absent-minded and short-tempered in his old age, Djander remains very active, and occasionally consults on and develops magic items in his working retirement. In his consulting position with the king, his successes included:
