Historical Figures

Dortin Tallwhistle
A halfling wizard and successor to Karasch Fellweave as master of the Citadel of Karasch.

Ellendel Erathir
A human male from the Age of the Ankheg. He was the last prophet of Ezrammel. He left behind a note in the Citadel of Karasch, explaining the danger of Kathax, his history, and the reasons all knowledge of him was hidden.

Etrun the Great
A devoted smith of Morraine, he made it his life's work to create magical equipment to fight against the things that live underneath the earth.

Karasch Fellweave
The wizard who created the Citadel of Karasch. According to legend, he created the entire citadel in just three days and nights with his magic. His successor to the citadel was the mage Dortin Tallwhistle.

Oreanna Du'Vray
The Duchess of Irien seated in the city of Whiterun. The party was brought before her to reveal plans they discovered for what looked to be a strategic goblin attack on major cities across the region. They were brought back again, this time under armed guard, when they escorted Garoog into the city to liase with the Duchess, and hopefully form a joint human-goblin alliance against the forces of Kathax. Unfortunately, the Duchess was murdered. Garoog escaped, and when the party found him he confessed to the deed, but answered under a Zone of Truth spell that he had been mind-controlled into doing it. His assertion is that it was the work of a powerful mage, and not long after the party discovered that Moax'xal had been using Johnny to scry on their location and harass them with Babau demons, so he is also a suspect.

The Duchess was a powerful figure in Shay-Elliri as well as a distant relative of Lucas Du'Vray of the order of the White Rose. The latter may explain why she took an interest in the symbol of Kathax shown to her by the party (as it was the same worn by the order's sworn enemy Aridian Velnakoth) where other nobles preferred not to get involved. Her replacement, Geoffery Varren, the regent and steward for the young Duke of Irien was formerly Oreanna's occult advisor and may be in league with Kathax. Without proof though, this suggestion would never be entertained by the court, who seem unimpressed with adventurers.

Orthoss
A powerful and evil mage who died along with his adventuring party. He and the rest of his party were brought back as ghasts by Nazeth and slaughtered and/or turned into ghouls most of the population of Ayan, a small village near the Gate of Souls. They were sent by Nazeth to test the party, and although some of Orthoss' ghasts were destroyed, he escaped and fled the town with a band of ghouls and several of the party's magical items. They are still loose in southern Shay-Elliri, although their exact whereabouts are not currently known.

Pietrov Brosska
A renowned smith native to Volka. Created both Ioskarr and Andreitan.
