Bitterstrike

Calastryx

Calastryx is an older 3 headed dragon. He has been absent from The Nentir Vale for 5 generations but has recently returned.

Legend has it that a mighty wizard died in an effort to free The Nentir Vale from the tyranny of Calastryx. However, it is rumored that Calastryx was never killed. Only put into a magical slumber. If this is true, someone, or something has divined a way to wake him once more.
Calastryx is a vile and perverse creature, born of the mutations of entropy and evil magic. Some speculate that she was the creation of some long-forgotten god, while others believe she has always existed in one form or another. No matter the truth, the fact remains that she exists to destroy anything in her path, and she should be feared and respected.

In an effort to get his money back, he kidnapped Enna during the mayhem of the combat tournament in Nesmalen. He held her hostage on his ship. The party absconded with an impounded vessel and rescued Enna. Ardathanatus has had a vendetta against the heroes ever since. He sails around the world looking for evidence of their travels. He will find them and take his revenge. And if he can't find them, he will find those they love and make them pay. Also.....His ship is badass.

  Lady of Pain

  The Lady of Pain is Sigil personified

  What keeps the City of Doors safe and functioning? What maintains order and refuses to allow Sigil to tumble into chaos and anarchy? The answer is simple, yet surprisingly complex: the Lady of Pain.
  
  The Lady of Pain isn't a woman and isn't human. Although theories abound, the truth of the matter is that no one knows who or what the Lady of Pain actually is. She exists. She has an enduring connection to Sigil. And she stands as the law and the power in the City of Doors.
  
  Some believe she is a god, but no pantheon claims her as a member. Some think she must be a demon prince or a devil lord, but others find that idea unacceptable. One or two ancient texts identify her as the embodiment ofSigil, or even as a proto-entity from the time before time. Most visitors to and inhabitants of Sigil don't really care one way or another. The simple truth is that the Lady of Pain exists, and that's all that matters.
  
  The Lady remains distant from most of the day-today activities that take place in Sigil. You won't find a castle, a palace, or a temple with her name on it. Indeed, if anyone worships her they usually end up missing (presumed to be banished to the Mazes, see below) or turn up with their skin flayed from their bones. It is widely known that she accepts no prayers or sacrifices, and she reportedly punishes or destroys those that make such offerings.
  
  The Lady of Pain never speaks. She never participates in council meetings or guild discussions or judicial inquiries. When she appears, she is seen drifting down the cobbled streets, her gown barely brushing the dusty surface as she passes by. Those familiar with the ways of Sigil know enough to move on during the Lady's sporadic forays through the streets. Anyone who has the bad sense to try to interfere with her passage receives painful gashes from her penetrating gaze. Such appearances, rare and memorable though they might be, eventually end when the Lady passes through a wall or simply fades into nothingness, vanishing from sight without word or warning.
  
  What is the Lady of Pain? She is the impassive protector ofSigil, inspiring awe and fear with her very presence. No one deals with the Lady. She doesn't give missions or serve as a patron. She makes no proclamations and issues no edicts. She is just the wonder and mystery and danger of Sigil made manifest. But she does have laws- or, at least, certain truths about Sigil are credited to her will.
  
  The presence of the Lady keeps all inhabitants and visitors in line, making Sigil more or less safe for conducting business of all sorts. She keeps gods and other powerful entities out of the city. She prevents teleportation rituals and other magic from penetrating the borders of the City of Doors. She oversees the dabus that maintain the city. And she creates the Mazes that serve as the most prominent deterrent to conquest and chaos in Sigil-and which give the city its other name, the Cage.

  

  Lissandra

  Lissandra is a key-keeper and gate-seeker in Sigil. She is known to work for Alluvius Ruskin from time to time.

  An emigre from the world fascinated by the workings of Sigil's portals. Lissandra keeps a log of known portals and keys and constantly updates her information by questioning anyone using the portals. She's currently looking to hire adventurers to "obtain" Ramander the Wise's log-book so that information about all the portals in the city can be disseminated to the common people, where it belongs.
  
  She does not speak of it, but it appears she has (or had) some sort of intimate personal relationship with Tamel the Traveller.

  

  Ramander the Wise

  Ramander the Wise is the keeper of knowledge in Sigil

The Light of Tiernen enjoys reading about himself and his exploits, both true and sensational, immensely. Tol Renshir is revered by Druids as an Ancient, possibly the oldest creature/spirit ever to exist in nature. His history is told of in a multitude of tales and songs, and he has known many names and forms. He is chaotic and quick to temper, but his general nature is good and he laughs heartily and often. He is of no danger to those with good and decent intent, but trees bow and thunder crashes when his temper is loosed. Some of the more learned scholars who have made it their life's work to study his existence and trace his current whereabouts believe that his time may be ending, but it will take much more than mere swords or magic to see him to his end. His purpose is to maintain balance. When questioned by an elf regarding his beginning, Tol merely smiled in a knowing way and said, "Before the grass was graced with your delicate tread, my dear."

  Bran was the leader of Tor's Hold

  Cymin

  Simon is a sniveling Goblin that was captured at The Battle of Albridge. He now serves Drag'Os with pride.

  Cymin the Git
  
  Cymin, a Hobgoblin, was born to a savage race of creatures that are known for raising their young by community rather than by individual families. For this reason, his upbringing and life as a youngster were more than a little different. His parents broke from the stereotypes and raised him and his four sisters in manner that contradicted Hobgoblin custom, one more like that of a Human, an Elf or a Dwarf. This made him a bit of an outsider amongst all races that he encountered.
  
  His parents did their best to raise Cymin with a strong sense of right and wrong and hoped he would one day grow into a great leader and perhaps even a warrior who would be able to unite Hobgoblins with those of the more civilized races. They were a bit too optimistic about his future.
  
  They were good people and saw potential in Cymin, despite repeated incidents of catastrophic clumsiness. On several occasions while out hunting with his father, whom he affectionately called Pap, Cymin’s awkward nature would inevitably be the reason for a mishap that lead to the family not eating for several days at a time. With affection for their unusual family member, his family continued to support and encourage him.
  
  When he came of age, Cymin decided that he would set out on his own to become that great warrior he was destined to be. He learned what he could, where he could, but always ended up messing up. It may have been the flamboyant way he carried himself - a bit like a drunk cowboy on roller-skates - or his lack of concentration whenever powerfully built men were present. He was never willing to admit to his flaws and, wanting so dearly to make his parents proud, he took up arms along with a band of other Hobgoblins who were hired to be the first strike on a raid of the city of Albridge.
  
  During the short time he was a part of this raiding company, he worked to gain the respect of the other men. He often made a mess of information-gathering missions he was sent on and usually wound up assigned the worst kinds of duties, such as being made to be the chair upon which sat the band’s leader, the massive Ogre known only as Crabek.
  
  In the midst of several days when Cymin managed to stay out of trouble, not destroy anything, and avoid Crabek’s wrath, he was assigned to defend their leader during the first moments of the battle of Albridge. When Crabek was struck and killed in the first volley of arrows shot by the archers defending Albridge’s bridge, his massively muscled body fell onto Cymin’s and knocked him unconscious, where he lay until one of the heroes that would eventually be known as the Defenders of Harkenwold came across him and freed him from the stench and filth of Crabek’s giant decomposing corpse. Drag’os Burlyfingers, apparently being a kind soul, offered Cymin a unique opportunity to live and perhaps make up all the mistakes his life had been. During the battle, he watched and learned the true nature of the attack on Albridge and realized that he was on the wrong side. The band had been hired and tricked into harming the innocent citizens of Harkenwold.
  
  Drag’os gave him a grand opportunity to redeem himself.

  Tamel the Traveler (Tamel) (bladesinger)

  Tamel is a master swordsman and the leader of an Eladrin band of planes travelling protectors.

  Tamel hails from the Elihai clan of Eladrin, native of the Feywild. This clan puts honor, swordmanship and fealty to the cause above all else. Their cause is the protection of Feycrossings and any creatures native of the Feywild that are effected negatively by them. Tamel is the most powerful of all the fey guardians. Due to the hundreds of years of exposure to thousands of Fey crossings, he has acquired the ability to planeswalk with little effort. He has found ways to travel interdimensionally at will. He spent some time in the 5th dimension, but came back because it was somewhat tedious. It has even been rumored that he can travel through time.

  

  Windir Silversong (Tolrish Marshwing) (Fythiel Lonewind)

  Windir, Tolrish and Fythiel are the lead Arcane Archers who support Tamel in his efforts to protect Fey Crossings.
