The Good 

Ilumnrath

At the ripe age of 64, this teacher and scholar is Faalor's current intellectual celebrity. Not since the age of King Padral has a scholar so captivated the public. He has written and taught extensively on subjects as diverse as plant biology, orc "culture", planar mechanics, magic, history and ethics. Today, he lives and works in Bridalveil as one of the major leaders of the Bridalveil College, an independent learning institute dedicated to truth and knowledge. His many works can still be widely found.

The Bad 

Edryn Darkmoon, Illirigger

Edryn was once one of King Jash III finest knights who waged a continuous battle against evil throughout the lands. Slowly though his interest in the ways of Maelwar became more than academic and he succumbed to the dark whispers. Only five years ago, did he take up arms against the Church, slaying the Bishop of Duath in an open act of treachery. Earlier this year, Edryn launched an attack on Aaerdowns from the Swamps. He was successful in taking the town, but in the end, he was defeated by agents of the Resistance. It is unknown at this point who his successor might be.

Vlora Keryn

Vlora is an ancient vampire with extraordinary abilities. For many a long year, she ruled the Darkon town of Vaiki.  One evening, a group of adventurers broke into her manor house before the sun went down.  They found her barely able to stir.  With a stake at her heart, she knew she was doomed, but fate (or some other power) intervened as a deep mist overcame the would-be vampire-killers.  With the ash stake still on her chest, Vlora awoke in in a forest near Bridalveil.  She spent several years in the area, destroying the weaker undead that had followed her from the Lands of the Mists, then moving on to Gundar where she did the same.  She was then drawn to the power of the elven necromancer Verlydaar.

The Ugly 

"Queen" Yurissa

As one of two remaining children of King Jash III, she and her brother fight it out to see who will ultimately take the thrown.  Yurissa is a cagey politician, charismatic leader who will, often, resort to amoral and heavy-handed means to obtain her objectives.  During the Night of Fog and Fear, Yurissa was mysteriously turned to stone.  When her court magicians reversed the spell, a large chunk of her face had been chipped off, leaving part of her face with a horrible wound.  She now wears a veil at all times.

"King" Nywith

The older brother of Yurissa, Nywith sits in a fortress in Faalor city.  He is a smart but desperate leader trying to maintain an alliance with the gnomes and dwarves while fending off attacks from Yurissa's army.  Since the Night of Fog and Fear, Nywith has been held captive in the Citadel of Faalor.

Thalasi Houge, Vicar of Adrahil for the Island of Faalor

Houge TRIES to be a good man, but he is woefully incompetent. His heart shines brightly with Adrahil's love, but the man has no common sense. Houge, nearing his 50th birthday, is a round man with a heavy mask of childhood acne scares. Eight years ago, just after his assertion, he commissioned a new cathedral to be built at Kyrdanna. At this date, the project has sucked in almost all of the usual tithes for ten years. Currently, he has launched a campaign of selling paper "writs of forbearance" (which supposedly grants special favor with Adrahil) to make up the lost income; unfortunately, he has allowed unscrupulous merchants to ply the trade.
