Oldair Vihisqer

Oldair Vihisqer was born in the city of Urgar on the continent of Norvro, in the year 241 of the Age of Fire. Blessed with a natural gift for commerce, Oldair quickly rose through the ranks of Urgar's merchants, eventually becoming one of the wealthiest men in the city. However, Oldair's true calling was as a trickster. This quality was evident early on in his life, when he tricked his way into the service of a powerful wizard. From this point on, Oldair was never content with simply making money - he wanted to see what he could get away with. This attitude proved dangerous, as it often led Oldair into trouble. He was eventually banned from Urgar, and forced to journey eastward, into the dangerous and lawless territory of the Dead Lands. Here, Oldair found new allies - the monsters of the Dead Lands, who appreciated his sense of humor and willingness to play with them. It was during this time that Oldair first donned the amulet that would later become his symbol. Eventually, Oldair returned to Norvro, where he resumed his life as a merchant. He was still a trickster, but now he used his skills to help people rather than to harm them. Oldair has two children, a son and a daughter. His son is a merchant like his father, while his daughter is a witch. Oldair's life philosophy is simple: live for today, and have fun doing it. He believes that life is too short to be upset about things that don't matter, and that it's worth celebrating the little things in life. Oldair's famous quote is " Life is a party, and if you ain't having fun, you should get out."

Kalla

Kalla, at the ripe age of twenty-seven, is not your typical courtier. Her dark eyes are sharp and calculating, the thin smile on her lips spreading only when she is plotting something sinister. She possesses an unusual beauty, the kind that radiates not from mere physical appearances, but rather from the dominance and cunningness that her personality radiates. Kalla has more than once used her dulcet charm and wit to her advantage, molding the minds of the gullible and manipulable courtiers to orchestrate schemes that unfold exactly the way she wants. Looking back at her childhood, nothing about her past would suggest the direction she'd take later in life. She was born to an average family of hardworking artisans in the heart of Midlandshire – a place known for its vibrant green landscapes, windswept hills, and a serenity that was at constant odds with Kalla’s restless spirit. Growing up, Kalla exhibited an uncanny knack for weaving intricate webs of carefully crafted words - a skill that would later establish her as the most formidable manipulator of the royal court. Her unique gift didn't go unnoticed by her parents, and hence, after witnessing their little girl’s peculiar talent, they decided to send her to a prestigious academy for courtesans to hone these skills, painfully bidding farewell to their humble abode. It is at the academy that Kalla finds Al’Manta, her beloved pet snake, who was a crucial part of her later life. The snake, with its sleek green skin and hypnotic gaze, was shunned for its potential danger. Yet, it caught Kalla’s attention. Not only does she keep the creature by her side, but she also learns to extract its venom, employing the toxin as a silent weapon to eliminate her adversaries at court. As Kalla’s name becomes known throughout the kingdom, she earns a string of epithets trailing behind her name – “The Serpent,” “The Silent Slayer.” Yet, she prides herself most on her self-assumed title, “The Puppeteer,” indicative of the control she wields over the court, pulling the strings of destinies, both big and small. However, even Kalla isn't devoid of flaws. Her profound fear of vulnerability stands out primarily among others. It's a fear she masks under her confident façade, yet one that surfaces when she's alone. Outside of her dangerous pursuits, Kalla delights in reading arcane lore, submerging herself in stories of old wars and forgotten magic. It is not merely a hobby but a source of knowledge she often turns to when the court's intrigue proves challenging to unravel. A silver amulet, shaped like a coiling serpent – a miniaturized replica of Al'Manta – is her favored accessory, deemed by her as a protective totem and symbol of her power.

Kristol Dam

Kristol Dam is a man with a great talent for magic, specifically as a necromancer. He comes from a long line of warlocks, all the way back to his great-great-grandfather who was one of the most powerful warlocks in history. Growing up, Kristol had a very privileged life. He was born and raised in a large castle, surrounded by the finest things that money could buy. His parents were always too busy with their own magical endeavors to spend much time with him, so he spent most of his childhood with their butler, who became a close friend. As a teenager, Kristol began to show an aptitude for magic that far surpassed anyone in his family. He spent countless hours studying ancient tomes and practicing spells, often staying up long into the night in his personal library. Now a young man, Kristol has embarked on a career as a mage for hire. He is often called upon by politicians and wealthy individuals to help them with magical problems that no one else can solve.

Despite his dark reputation, he is a courteous and well-mannered person, always taking time to listen to his clients' needs and carefully considering their requests. His ultimate dream is to discover the secret to immortality, a task he believes can only be accomplished through mastering the darkest of magicks. He is constantly exploring new avenues of magic and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Kristol does suffer from a health problem, however. He has a condition that causes him to faint whenever he loses too much blood. Because of this, he always wears an amulet symbolizing a black rose, which provides him with some protection against injuries.
