Minor Figures of Angorath and Brundal¶
People of the Fourth Age met on the road from the Underdark beneath the Blue Mountains, through the high pastures of Dru'Bazan and the blighted ruins of Angorath, to the seaside town of Ornwell in the kingdom of Brundal. All come from one document, the notes of the campaign told in Escape from the Underdark; what the party did with them belongs to that chronicle.
Brugid Oregrain¶
A dwarf, High Priestess of Khardas, and one of the council of three that leads the Survivors' Colony of about 120 people at the Temple of Khardas in Redallion, the ruined capital of Angorath. Among the humans of the city Khardas is "worshipped ... as the god of industry and labor." She sent Livia Descorta west to the Caerylas Tree.
Caluso¶
The elder witch of a coven of one warlock and two witches who occupy marble elven ruins in a boreal forest of the mountains. The coven uses undead "to excavate the ruins" and keeps fairies caged over a smoking cauldron, drained and sick. See Witchcraft.
Eggrin¶
A necromonger, a "middle-aged man. Dark hair. Nice clothes. Well groomed." Held prisoner among the survivors of Redallion, he persuaded them to let him build a "protection circle" that was in truth a necromantic summoning circle, and fled through a portal beneath the city's sewers. In Ornwell he is known as Salaran, "chief advisor to Jorek Ellster the Earl of Ornwell," whom he "has charmed ... and convinced ... this project will protect Ornwell from the encroaching Blight." Beneath the Earl's manor he is building a spike room, where captives are pinned and drained of their life, and a portal room, and he gathers "candidates" of half-elven or high elven blood. His plans reach to a second site in Wellhorn and to a flying ziggurat over the sea. See Death Magic and Earthblight.
Gap
The notes do not say whom Eggrin serves, what the drained life is for, or what the flying ziggurat is.
Gregin¶
The foreman building a spike room for Salaran at a hunting lodge outside Ornwell. He "is not human," and no merchant in town "knows anyone named that."
Gunril¶
High Councillor of the dwarven kingdom of Dru'Bazan at Kaelten Meadow, a high mountain pasture village of about seventy workers that raises some ten thousand sheep and two thousand each of goats and yaks.
Hamruhn¶
The dwarven shaman of Kaelten Meadow, who can lift a shadow-curse.
Henry Yallovi¶
An ex-sergeant of the city watch of Redallion whose squad "helped secure the temple district." All of them are dead but him. He sits on the council of three of the Survivors' Colony.
Ingoh¶
A quaggoth, an eight-foot "humanoid bear," who rules the lower halls of a cursed dwarven hold in the mountains over a colony of about eighty goblins. The upper halls are cursed: dead dwarves lie among their riches, with the goblins who tried to loot them. See Beasts.
Jorek Ellster¶
The Earl of Ornwell, charmed by his chief advisor Salaran (Eggrin) into sponsoring his work.
Langsten Horngrell¶
A prominent merchant of Ornwell and member of its town council, "rotund, 5'2"" and dressed in a dark blue suit. One of his guards, Garvan, helped seize his recently dismissed half-elven maid as one of Salaran's candidates.
Livia Descorta¶
A "former thief, cat burglar ... now head scavenger" of the Survivors' Colony of Redallion, and one of its council of three. Sent by Brugid Oregrain to the Caerylas Tree, the elven shrine in the forests of Uran'Syvalla, she was trapped inside its walls, badly wounded, among the corpses of some three hundred elves.
Muralyon¶
A "crazy split personality wizard" whose home was Castle Bluethorn, two hours from Redallion. He conjures food, "burns infected," can hide companions from the infected with an undead shroud, and can trace necromantic circles to their source.
Syrlandia¶
A green fairy of the boreal forest whose friends were trapped by Caluso's coven. See Fae.
Yagrik¶
A necromancer, "son of famous Yagrun." A wagon abandoned in a canyon of Angorath held his belongings, two necromantic spellbooks, and a jar holding a head called Luthun. See Yagrun.
Zixalan¶
A being who made a blood accord with a warlock of the party and gave him a small red stone to find his mother.
Gap
The notes do not say what Zixalan is or where the accord was made.
