Asmodeus Capital of former Dragon Empire Leader of the DVLs. Was the DVL who powered the Probability Sword that Thorfus carried until his death. Bavmorda carried it and used it to destroy the power source/control point of the DVLs in the orbiting space station Xen Tel. This freed Asmodeus and all DVLs across all dimensions. The DVLs then rose up and took vengeance on the space dwarves. Then they fell to Medeia wreaking destruction and trying to take over. Alive Enemy
Aldus Runnelbrook Midmark Famous sage with largest bookstore in all the islands of Curabel. Aldus is a very old elf who participated in the rebellion against the empire, served as the first governor of Midmark after its liberation, and knew Baldric Evenkeel personally. Lord Ardwine Thornton is a direct descendant, part of a lineage that began with Aldus's marriage to his second wife (Baldric Evenkeel's widow). Aldus's first wife committed suicide shortly after being freed from Midmark's imperial prison; Ferri Runnelbrook, the sage, is the child of that previous union. Aldus is reliably anti-imperial, but advocates against paranoid and violent actions to put down unrest in Midmark in the name of thwarting the empire. Alive Ally
Rallion of The Wode/Guardian of the Lake Montoa Rallion of the Wode was sent by the Druids of The Verdant Fellowship of Midmark to seek Thorfus Ironhand. He found the party of the Baldirc's Boys/Starchy Boyz shortly after Thorfus Was killed by an Umber Hulk. Rallion joined the party and helped save the world from the arrival of the dwarven armada, but also ended up both destroying DVL powered magic and unleashed the fury of the DVLs under Asmodeus on Medeia. The Shard was lost and the party set about learning about magic and were working to establish an alliance against the DVLs. The party has saved Montoa from a force of Orcs, Hobgoblins, and Giants under the DVL One Horn. RAllion died when a few members of the party went looking for Hermengart, a hireling who was feared during the battle. They found him just after Rallion was slain by a giant firebeetle. Hermengart was also slain, along with another hireling Will Siebold. Lungmold and Velkin return to Montoa after the villagers and rest of the party restored the healing power of the lake. They put Rallion in the lake holding the glowing feathers of Rallion and Lungmold (symbols of the chosen of The Mothers.). His body was now healed and glowing, but still dead. Druul reached in hoping to pull out a way to raise Rallion, and pulled forth a rune. The party had Lambertus sacrifice 5 of the 6 hobgoblin prisoners and instead of raising him, he was reincarnated as a glowing Unicorn. Rallion elected to remain in Montoa as the Guardian of the Lake and Montoa. Gath the Troglodyte who faithfully followed Rallion after being charmed by the Scepter now thinks Rallion has ascended to a higher being and will stay with Rallion. Alive Ally
Tik Tok DVL Trap in the Dwarven Embassy in Malgrim DVL who powers the Doomsday Clock. The party unwittingly got him trapped in the DVL trap in the Dwarven Embassy in Malgrim. We think we might have a way to rescue him. Alive Ally
One Horn Hdrasta DVL who brought orcs, hobgoblins, and giants under his sway and sent a force which the party drove off to pollute the lake and destroy Montoa. Alive Enemy
