==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does Simucon cost?===

Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.

===Where do I sign up?===
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.

If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.

===Who organizes Simucon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===

Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===

Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring?===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is Simucon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.

===What should I wear?===

Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.

===Is there a pool?===

YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

Cast of characters

2018-11-15T20:44:56Z

ERBSE: /* Lilium */

Please feel free to add a brief description of your [[Platinum]] character(s) here.

=== Achsel ===
----

Lead singer of the heavy metal band 'Mithril Mayhem', this gruff but friendly fellow is constantly on the look out for inspiration for his next song. With hits like 'Invar Mine Lady', 'On the Razern's Edge', and 'Caligos Isle', he and his fellow band member [[Cast_of_characters#Zundrar|Zundrar]] have played in such famous locales as The Bluerock Brewery in Zul Logoth, The Thrak Inn at the Landing, and even Caligos Isle itself. He doesn't pay much attention to politics, though he has a keen sense of right and wrong. He is also a bit of a lush, and has strong opinions on beards, music, and beer.

=== Calauria ===
-----

The shy and rather secretive Elven bard hails from Ta’Illistim, but shows little interest in returning. Possessed of proper, ladylike manners, she is easily shocked by some of her newer acquaintances, hinting at a sheltered upbringing. Her current impoverished state, given her apparent background, could lead to disconcerting questions she might find hard to ignore.

=== Idun ===
-----

Child-like and free spirited, Idun is kind, very friendly and genuinely cares about others. She loves to be helpful and is easily entertained, usually finding joy in small things. A difficult and isolated past has had a profound effect on her. She is most comfortable with another in control. Idun can be unpredictable and is a bit "touched", even unstable at times. She is loyal to a fault and values those in her life above all else. Her dislike of being alone is somewhat mitigated by her love of gowns, toys and visits with her animal friends.

=== Ishvari ===
----

A banished Priestess of Lumnis, this knowledge-thirsty Faendryl found an alternative method to become an empath (but not without some heavy side-effects). She is polite, somewhat quiet, and very ladylike although she is not above the <del>frequent</del> occasional snide remark. Currently, she is often seen with the Dhe'nar, Xindrell, as they are united in a mission yet to be revealed to anyone other than themselves. She is self-conscious of her pale skin, and dislikes anyone staring at her one crimson-hued eye for too long. They can stare at her silver eye all they want, however.

=== Jaired ===
----

Jaired grudgingly wears the role of ‘resident old man’ knowing full well that it is just the polite way of calling him the ‘local drunk’. Truth told both apply, but he has his reasons. As the former Lord Marshal of the Landing Militia, a former Warden of Charl, and the former son of a Tehir Seer and a former Palestra both… there are a lot of things that he used to be. These days he moonlights as a barkeep over at Thrak’s Inn because what could possibly go wrong? He is a depthless well of questionable advice but might just be the best possible option when asking for help in attempting anything particularly stupid.

=== Jaynon ===
----

Formerly a Paladin of Voln, he has recently heard the call of the Sea...partly due to his affiliation with the rogue Tanai. Lord Whick and Jaynon have been bitter enemies, with Jaynon taking a leading role in the prosecution of Whick after his arrest for the kidnapping of Leiana and murder of Izaar. He is a guardian in combat, fighting with a sword and shield, more concerned with the protection of his allies than a quick and easy win. He values honour above all else, and is honest to a fault.

=== Leiana ===
----

Leiana, daughter of the Thrak Inn proprietor Sabrien, has lived in Wehnimer's Landing most of her life. After losing her mother to disease at the age of 10, Leiana and her father moved to the Landing in search of community and business. She has never left the walls of the Frontier town until 5118 and has led a very sheltered life that bred privilege and a dangerous sense of curiosity as a result. Acting upon that desire to explore, she has begun seeking out contracts for treasure and adventure across Elanthia.

=== Lilium ===
----

[[Lilium]]'s origins are as strange as her appearance. One day she appeared on [[Lorminstra]]'s Altar in the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Temple without any memories or possessions to explain who she is or how she came to be there. She took her appearance on Lorminstra's Altar as a sign to dedicate herself to the Goddess. As a Master in the Order of Voln, Lilium is quite zealous in scouring the undead from all of Elanthia.

Recent events involving Lord Whick and the death of Bareth have caused Lilium to reconsider her role in safeguarding the souls of the innocent. A more proactive approach, rather than reactive, might be the best way to prevent another tragedy from occurring.

=== Lutika ===
-----

Lutika has been a resident of Wehnimer's Landing for many, many years, having settled there after a long life spent traveling afar from her homeland. Now an elderly forest gnome, she labors to care for the injured and sickly using her skill with the healing arts. Lutika projects the demeanor of the stereotypical grandmother, overly doting and kind, but she's quite capable of turning her healer's gifts into fatal tools when threatened. Fortunately, this is seldom necessary, as it's rare to see her range beyond civilization these days.

=== Megaira ===
-----

A dwarf of questionable sanity, Megaira went to Caligos Isle when the Ebon Gate opened to it for the first time, and there she stayed. By the time it reopened in 5118, her mind was warped and her devotion to her prior deity was cast off. Now, she was a cleric in service to Ghezresh. She's been cast out and back into Elanthia with the closing of the Ebon Gate in 5118, and she now spreads the deceitful and manipulative word of her Arkati. Quite nicely fills the role of crazed witch, too, right down to the slivers of bone piercing her ears and brow. For all of her flaws and peculiarities, Megaira does wield real power granted by her god, and it's yet to be seen what she intends to do with it.

=== Nimarue ===
-----

Likened to a curious bird of prey, the young sylvan seems an untamed creature that belongs in the wilderness, and perhaps kept far away from civilized people. Her speech patterns are occasionally awkward as though she struggles both for the correct word and, perhaps, polite phrasing. (She fails, often, though this seems little to bother her.)

=== Oezzilm ===
----

Oezzilm is a local farmer of pumpkin, turnips, and carrots near the Landing. He hopes to eventually have an entire herd of urghs and roltons, but so far he has only one of each. He can be found selling produce around town, fresh after coming from his fields. He has a brother who is great at plowing, and a collection of hoes.

=== Phocosoen ===
----

Everyone deserves to be free and [[Phocosoen]] will always oppose those that seek to enslave others against their will like any member of the [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan]] should. Boisterous and outgoing, he loves nothing more than regaling others with the numerous ways in which he crushes his enemies on a daily basis. The [[Guardians of Sunfist]] have no shortage of enemies and Phocosoen is a proud member that is all too happy to mercilessly slaughter [[orc]]s, [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, and [[giant]]s. Freedom, muscles, and a song in his heart is all a man needs to enjoy life.

=== Qadheon ===
----

Qadheon is a Faendryl monk and proprieter of [[https://ps.lichproject.org/shops/6077 Ta'Faendryl Importers]], a business located in the Landing. In addition to this, he has been searching for some lost artifacts, but rumor has it he is not very focused on this task. He has been seen worshipping [[Ghezresh]] on Caligos Isle and made mention of importing that spirit's presence to the Isle of Four Winds. Despite this intrigue, he is a generally nice fellow.

=== Qoshkalia ===
----

Qoshkalia is a Faendryl paladin of Fash'lo'nae dedicated to learning, particularly the use of bladed weapons. In the pursuit of this, she has been recognized as a Palestra of the Peltast rank. Recently she has been seen working with [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] in his actions in the Landing, though the exact reasoning is unclear. Word has it that she originally came to the Landing to work on finding some ancient artifacts for a Sorcerer in Ta'Faendryl.

=== Qualeric ===
----

[[Qualeric]] is an elderly wizard, student of the arcane, and an active follower of [[Jastev]]. Hailing from Ta'Illistim, he enjoys learning, raining destruction upon usurpers, and all the opportunities the Shining City represents. He is currently engaged in sorting through some things owned by his widow that were recently found in an old storage shed, as well as attempting to discover a new metal which he believes exists but is otherwise undocumented. His familiar is a bat named Klysmar.

=== Rafferty ===
----

A rustic half-elf from the edges of the Wyrdeep Forest, Rafferty is wary of towns and their folk but cautiously open to broadening his horizons. He's got little patience for airs and graces, and bullies make him grouchy. Though he keeps his problems to himself, he's willing to lend a hand where he's able. Literally, if you're missing one.

=== Tanai ===
----

Tanai is an orphaned street-rat with a mysterious past. She loves sweets, the ocean, and [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]], not necessarily in that order. She considers [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] one of her mortal enemies, especially after being possessed and manipulated by him for a time. She is finally learning how to connect with people, what love entails, and how to read and write. She can be very blunt, downright rude, and occasionally volatile. She is also, however, fiercely loyal, kind-hearted (at times), and enthusiastic (especially for sweets).

=== Thresher ===
----

A quiet man, this Half-Krolvin is very devout in his worship of '''[[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]]'''. Despite the stereotype surrounding Marluites, Thresher himself is a kind soul, not wishing any undue harm or pain to anyone. However, he is of the firm belief that the only way to have lasting peace on Elanthia is to 'start fresh'...by burning what is, so something new may grow. He believes Undead are an Abomination to his Lord...and fights against any who practice such arts fiercely.

=== Tsukiko ===
-----

Tsukiko supposedly hails from Eloth-Ra, the capital city of the Erithian nation located on the continent of Atan Irith. A stranger in a strange land (to her), she often stands out for the traditional garb of her people, honoring both her Yachan Dai clan bloodline and her devotion to the Volnath Dai sect. To say that Tsukiko is committed to Voln's cause would be an understatement, given the Volnath Dai association, and she persistently works to liberate the souls of the dead from unlife as a holy cause. Tsukiko tends to be unerringly polite, if sometimes ignorant of local ways, but she is a reliable ally and skilled wielder of the katana. Tsukiko is said to make lovely jewelry from most any gemstone for a modest fee, and she has a small shop in Wehnimer's Landing.

=== Varuna ===
-----

Little is known of Varuna, save that she apparently hails from Caligos Isle and left for Elanthia when the Ebon Gate closed in 5118. By some unknown magic or transformation, she always appears to be a cloud of indigo mist threaded with silver streamers. Few have seen her true appearance. She would claim herself to be the Incarnation of the Mist or the False Prophet, both titles indicative of her devotion to the deity Ghezresh. She attempts no deception regarding her use of dark magic, as well as her involvement in dark deeds on Caligos Isle and beyond the gate aimed to serve her deity. Interestingly, Varuna is also skilled at creating artistic scars and provides this service for a price. Her work is done utilizing a strange knife with a blade cut from a large emerald.

=== Whick ===
----

'''[[::Whick|Great Lord Whick]]''' is polite, personable, and a man of many talents and much knowledge. He is gracious, can be kind, and he always is ready to help out those in need. At the same time, he is an unrepentant murderer and has a sadistic streak that runs deep. There is much speculation as to who his true masters are. Though he claims to be working for the Empire and the Hall of Mages (and many records will confirm that), dark whispers in the shadows speak of his true loyalty lying to something...other. He is meticulous and clever, preferring manipulation to brute force. He values order and security.

ERBSE: /* Idun */

Please feel free to add a brief description of your [[Platinum]] character(s) here.

=== Achsel ===
----

Lead singer of the heavy metal band 'Mithril Mayhem', this gruff but friendly fellow is constantly on the look out for inspiration for his next song. With hits like 'Invar Mine Lady', 'On the Razern's Edge', and 'Caligos Isle', he and his fellow band member [[Cast_of_characters#Zundrar|Zundrar]] have played in such famous locales as The Bluerock Brewery in Zul Logoth, The Thrak Inn at the Landing, and even Caligos Isle itself. He doesn't pay much attention to politics, though he has a keen sense of right and wrong. He is also a bit of a lush, and has strong opinions on beards, music, and beer.

=== Calauria ===
-----

The shy and rather secretive Elven bard hails from Ta’Illistim, but shows little interest in returning. Possessed of proper, ladylike manners, she is easily shocked by some of her newer acquaintances, hinting at a sheltered upbringing. Her current impoverished state, given her apparent background, could lead to disconcerting questions she might find hard to ignore.

=== Idun ===
-----

Child-like and free spirited, Idun is kind, very friendly and genuinely cares about others. She loves to be helpful and is easily entertained, usually finding joy in small things. A difficult and isolated past has had a profound effect on her. She is most comfortable with another in control. Idun can be unpredictable and is a bit "touched", even unstable at times. She is loyal to a fault and values those in her life above all else. Her dislike of being alone is somewhat mitigated by her love of gowns, toys and visits with her animal friends.

=== Ishvari ===
----

A banished Priestess of Lumnis, this knowledge-thirsty Faendryl found an alternative method to become an empath (but not without some heavy side-effects). She is polite, somewhat quiet, and very ladylike although she is not above the <del>frequent</del> occasional snide remark. Currently, she is often seen with the Dhe'nar, Xindrell, as they are united in a mission yet to be revealed to anyone other than themselves. She is self-conscious of her pale skin, and dislikes anyone staring at her one crimson-hued eye for too long. They can stare at her silver eye all they want, however.

=== Jaired ===
----

Jaired grudgingly wears the role of ‘resident old man’ knowing full well that it is just the polite way of calling him the ‘local drunk’. Truth told both apply, but he has his reasons. As the former Lord Marshal of the Landing Militia, a former Warden of Charl, and the former son of a Tehir Seer and a former Palestra both… there are a lot of things that he used to be. These days he moonlights as a barkeep over at Thrak’s Inn because what could possibly go wrong? He is a depthless well of questionable advice but might just be the best possible option when asking for help in attempting anything particularly stupid.

=== Jaynon ===
----

Formerly a Paladin of Voln, he has recently heard the call of the Sea...partly due to his affiliation with the rogue Tanai. Lord Whick and Jaynon have been bitter enemies, with Jaynon taking a leading role in the prosecution of Whick after his arrest for the kidnapping of Leiana and murder of Izaar. He is a guardian in combat, fighting with a sword and shield, more concerned with the protection of his allies than a quick and easy win. He values honour above all else, and is honest to a fault.

=== Leiana ===
----

Leiana, daughter of the Thrak Inn proprietor Sabrien, has lived in Wehnimer's Landing most of her life. After losing her mother to disease at the age of 10, Leiana and her father moved to the Landing in search of community and business. She has never left the walls of the Frontier town until 5118 and has led a very sheltered life that bred privilege and a dangerous sense of curiosity as a result. Acting upon that desire to explore, she has begun seeking out contracts for treasure and adventure across Elanthia.

=== Lilium ===
----

[[Lilium]]'s origins are as strange as her appearance. One day she appeared on [[Lorminstra]]'s Altar in the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Temple without any memories or possessions to explain who she is or how she came to be there. She took her appearance on Lorminstra's Altar as a sign to dedicate herself to the Goddess. As a Master in the Order of Volk, Lilium is quite zealous in scouring the undead from all of Elanthia.

Recent events involving Lord Whick and the death of Bareth have caused Lilium to reconsider her role in safeguarding the souls of the innocent. A more proactive approach, rather than reactive, might be the best way to prevent another tragedy from occurring.

=== Lutika ===
-----

Lutika has been a resident of Wehnimer's Landing for many, many years, having settled there after a long life spent traveling afar from her homeland. Now an elderly forest gnome, she labors to care for the injured and sickly using her skill with the healing arts. Lutika projects the demeanor of the stereotypical grandmother, overly doting and kind, but she's quite capable of turning her healer's gifts into fatal tools when threatened. Fortunately, this is seldom necessary, as it's rare to see her range beyond civilization these days.

=== Megaira ===
-----

A dwarf of questionable sanity, Megaira went to Caligos Isle when the Ebon Gate opened to it for the first time, and there she stayed. By the time it reopened in 5118, her mind was warped and her devotion to her prior deity was cast off. Now, she was a cleric in service to Ghezresh. She's been cast out and back into Elanthia with the closing of the Ebon Gate in 5118, and she now spreads the deceitful and manipulative word of her Arkati. Quite nicely fills the role of crazed witch, too, right down to the slivers of bone piercing her ears and brow. For all of her flaws and peculiarities, Megaira does wield real power granted by her god, and it's yet to be seen what she intends to do with it.

=== Nimarue ===
-----

Likened to a curious bird of prey, the young sylvan seems an untamed creature that belongs in the wilderness, and perhaps kept far away from civilized people. Her speech patterns are occasionally awkward as though she struggles both for the correct word and, perhaps, polite phrasing. (She fails, often, though this seems little to bother her.)

=== Oezzilm ===
----

Oezzilm is a local farmer of pumpkin, turnips, and carrots near the Landing. He hopes to eventually have an entire herd of urghs and roltons, but so far he has only one of each. He can be found selling produce around town, fresh after coming from his fields. He has a brother who is great at plowing, and a collection of hoes.

=== Phocosoen ===
----

Everyone deserves to be free and [[Phocosoen]] will always oppose those that seek to enslave others against their will like any member of the [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan]] should. Boisterous and outgoing, he loves nothing more than regaling others with the numerous ways in which he crushes his enemies on a daily basis. The [[Guardians of Sunfist]] have no shortage of enemies and Phocosoen is a proud member that is all too happy to mercilessly slaughter [[orc]]s, [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, and [[giant]]s. Freedom, muscles, and a song in his heart is all a man needs to enjoy life.

Qadheon is a Faendryl monk and proprieter of [[https://ps.lichproject.org/shops/6077 Ta'Faendryl Importers]], a business located in the Landing. In addition to this, he has been searching for some lost artifacts, but rumor has it he is not very focused on this task. He has been seen worshipping [[Ghezresh]] on Caligos Isle and made mention of importing that spirit's presence to the Isle of Four Winds. Despite this intrigue, he is a generally nice fellow.

=== Qoshkalia ===
----

Qoshkalia is a Faendryl paladin of Fash'lo'nae dedicated to learning, particularly the use of bladed weapons. In the pursuit of this, she has been recognized as a Palestra of the Peltast rank. Recently she has been seen working with [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] in his actions in the Landing, though the exact reasoning is unclear. Word has it that she originally came to the Landing to work on finding some ancient artifacts for a Sorcerer in Ta'Faendryl.

[[Qualeric]] is an elderly wizard, student of the arcane, and an active follower of [[Jastev]]. Hailing from Ta'Illistim, he enjoys learning, raining destruction upon usurpers, and all the opportunities the Shining City represents. He is currently engaged in sorting through some things owned by his widow that were recently found in an old storage shed, as well as attempting to discover a new metal which he believes exists but is otherwise undocumented. His familiar is a bat named Klysmar.

Tanai is an orphaned street-rat with a mysterious past. She loves sweets, the ocean, and [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]], not necessarily in that order. She considers [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] one of her mortal enemies, especially after being possessed and manipulated by him for a time. She is finally learning how to connect with people, what love entails, and how to read and write. She can be very blunt, downright rude, and occasionally volatile. She is also, however, fiercely loyal, kind-hearted (at times), and enthusiastic (especially for sweets).

=== Thresher ===
----

A quiet man, this Half-Krolvin is very devout in his worship of '''[[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]]'''. Despite the stereotype surrounding Marluites, Thresher himself is a kind soul, not wishing any undue harm or pain to anyone. However, he is of the firm belief that the only way to have lasting peace on Elanthia is to 'start fresh'...by burning what is, so something new may grow. He believes Undead are an Abomination to his Lord...and fights against any who practice such arts fiercely.

=== Tsukiko ===
-----

Tsukiko supposedly hails from Eloth-Ra, the capital city of the Erithian nation located on the continent of Atan Irith. A stranger in a strange land (to her), she often stands out for the traditional garb of her people, honoring both her Yachan Dai clan bloodline and her devotion to the Volnath Dai sect. To say that Tsukiko is committed to Voln's cause would be an understatement, given the Volnath Dai association, and she persistently works to liberate the souls of the dead from unlife as a holy cause. Tsukiko tends to be unerringly polite, if sometimes ignorant of local ways, but she is a reliable ally and skilled wielder of the katana. Tsukiko is said to make lovely jewelry from most any gemstone for a modest fee, and she has a small shop in Wehnimer's Landing.

=== Varuna ===
-----

Little is known of Varuna, save that she apparently hails from Caligos Isle and left for Elanthia when the Ebon Gate closed in 5118. By some unknown magic or transformation, she always appears to be a cloud of indigo mist threaded with silver streamers. Few have seen her true appearance. She would claim herself to be the Incarnation of the Mist or the False Prophet, both titles indicative of her devotion to the deity Ghezresh. She attempts no deception regarding her use of dark magic, as well as her involvement in dark deeds on Caligos Isle and beyond the gate aimed to serve her deity. Interestingly, Varuna is also skilled at creating artistic scars and provides this service for a price. Her work is done utilizing a strange knife with a blade cut from a large emerald.

=== Whick ===
----

'''[[::Whick|Great Lord Whick]]''' is polite, personable, and a man of many talents and much knowledge. He is gracious, can be kind, and he always is ready to help out those in need. At the same time, he is an unrepentant murderer and has a sadistic streak that runs deep. There is much speculation as to who his true masters are. Though he claims to be working for the Empire and the Hall of Mages (and many records will confirm that), dark whispers in the shadows speak of his true loyalty lying to something...other. He is meticulous and clever, preferring manipulation to brute force. He values order and security.

ERBSE:

Please feel free to add a brief description of your [[Platinum]] character(s) here.

=== Achsel ===
----

Lead singer of the heavy metal band 'Mithril Mayhem', this gruff but friendly fellow is constantly on the look out for inspiration for his next song. With hits like 'Invar Mine Lady', 'On the Razern's Edge', and 'Caligos Isle', he and his fellow band member [[Cast_of_characters#Zundrar|Zundrar]] have played in such famous locales as The Bluerock Brewery in Zul Logoth, The Thrak Inn at the Landing, and even Caligos Isle itself. He doesn't pay much attention to politics, though he has a keen sense of right and wrong. He is also a bit of a lush, and has strong opinions on beards, music, and beer.

=== Calauria ===
-----

The shy and rather secretive Elven bard hails from Ta’Illistim, but shows little interest in returning. Possessed of proper, ladylike manners, she is easily shocked by some of her newer acquaintances, hinting at a sheltered upbringing. Her current impoverished state, given her apparent background, could lead to disconcerting questions she might find hard to ignore.

=== Idun ===
-----

Child-like and free-spirited, Idun is kind, very friendly and genuinely cares about others. She loves to be helpful and is easily entertained, usually finding joy in small things. A difficult and isolated past has had a profound effect on her. She is most comfortable with another in control. Idun can be unpredictable and is a bit "touched", even unstable at times. She is loyal to a fault and values those in her life above all else. Her dislike of being alone is somewhat mitigated by her love of gowns, toys and visits with her animal friends.

=== Ishvari ===
----

A banished Priestess of Lumnis, this knowledge-thirsty Faendryl found an alternative method to become an empath (but not without some heavy side-effects). She is polite, somewhat quiet, and very ladylike although she is not above the <del>frequent</del> occasional snide remark. Currently, she is often seen with the Dhe'nar, Xindrell, as they are united in a mission yet to be revealed to anyone other than themselves. She is self-conscious of her pale skin, and dislikes anyone staring at her one crimson-hued eye for too long. They can stare at her silver eye all they want, however.

=== Jaired ===
----

Jaired grudgingly wears the role of ‘resident old man’ knowing full well that it is just the polite way of calling him the ‘local drunk’. Truth told both apply, but he has his reasons. As the former Lord Marshal of the Landing Militia, a former Warden of Charl, and the former son of a Tehir Seer and a former Palestra both… there are a lot of things that he used to be. These days he moonlights as a barkeep over at Thrak’s Inn because what could possibly go wrong? He is a depthless well of questionable advice but might just be the best possible option when asking for help in attempting anything particularly stupid.

=== Jaynon ===
----

Formerly a Paladin of Voln, he has recently heard the call of the Sea...partly due to his affiliation with the rogue Tanai. Lord Whick and Jaynon have been bitter enemies, with Jaynon taking a leading role in the prosecution of Whick after his arrest for the kidnapping of Leiana and murder of Izaar. He is a guardian in combat, fighting with a sword and shield, more concerned with the protection of his allies than a quick and easy win. He values honour above all else, and is honest to a fault.

=== Leiana ===
----

Leiana, daughter of the Thrak Inn proprietor Sabrien, has lived in Wehnimer's Landing most of her life. After losing her mother to disease at the age of 10, Leiana and her father moved to the Landing in search of community and business. She has never left the walls of the Frontier town until 5118 and has led a very sheltered life that bred privilege and a dangerous sense of curiosity as a result. Acting upon that desire to explore, she has begun seeking out contracts for treasure and adventure across Elanthia.

=== Lilium ===
----

[[Lilium]]'s origins are as strange as her appearance. One day she appeared on [[Lorminstra]]'s Altar in the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Temple without any memories or possessions to explain who she is or how she came to be there. She took her appearance on Lorminstra's Altar as a sign to dedicate herself to the Goddess. As a Master in the Order of Volk, Lilium is quite zealous in scouring the undead from all of Elanthia.

Recent events involving Lord Whick and the death of Bareth have caused Lilium to reconsider her role in safeguarding the souls of the innocent. A more proactive approach, rather than reactive, might be the best way to prevent another tragedy from occurring.

=== Lutika ===
-----

Lutika has been a resident of Wehnimer's Landing for many, many years, having settled there after a long life spent traveling afar from her homeland. Now an elderly forest gnome, she labors to care for the injured and sickly using her skill with the healing arts. Lutika projects the demeanor of the stereotypical grandmother, overly doting and kind, but she's quite capable of turning her healer's gifts into fatal tools when threatened. Fortunately, this is seldom necessary, as it's rare to see her range beyond civilization these days.

=== Megaira ===
-----

A dwarf of questionable sanity, Megaira went to Caligos Isle when the Ebon Gate opened to it for the first time, and there she stayed. By the time it reopened in 5118, her mind was warped and her devotion to her prior deity was cast off. Now, she was a cleric in service to Ghezresh. She's been cast out and back into Elanthia with the closing of the Ebon Gate in 5118, and she now spreads the deceitful and manipulative word of her Arkati. Quite nicely fills the role of crazed witch, too, right down to the slivers of bone piercing her ears and brow. For all of her flaws and peculiarities, Megaira does wield real power granted by her god, and it's yet to be seen what she intends to do with it.

=== Nimarue ===
-----

Likened to a curious bird of prey, the young sylvan seems an untamed creature that belongs in the wilderness, and perhaps kept far away from civilized people. Her speech patterns are occasionally awkward as though she struggles both for the correct word and, perhaps, polite phrasing. (She fails, often, though this seems little to bother her.)

=== Oezzilm ===
----

Oezzilm is a local farmer of pumpkin, turnips, and carrots near the Landing. He hopes to eventually have an entire herd of urghs and roltons, but so far he has only one of each. He can be found selling produce around town, fresh after coming from his fields. He has a brother who is great at plowing, and a collection of hoes.

=== Phocosoen ===
----

Everyone deserves to be free and [[Phocosoen]] will always oppose those that seek to enslave others against their will like any member of the [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan]] should. Boisterous and outgoing, he loves nothing more than regaling others with the numerous ways in which he crushes his enemies on a daily basis. The [[Guardians of Sunfist]] have no shortage of enemies and Phocosoen is a proud member that is all too happy to mercilessly slaughter [[orc]]s, [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, and [[giant]]s. Freedom, muscles, and a song in his heart is all a man needs to enjoy life.

=== Qadheon ===
----

Qadheon is a Faendryl monk and proprieter of [[https://ps.lichproject.org/shops/6077 Ta'Faendryl Importers]], a business located in the Landing. In addition to this, he has been searching for some lost artifacts, but rumor has it he is not very focused on this task. He has been seen worshipping [[Ghezresh]] on Caligos Isle and made mention of importing that spirit's presence to the Isle of Four Winds. Despite this intrigue, he is a generally nice fellow.

=== Qoshkalia ===
----

Qoshkalia is a Faendryl paladin of Fash'lo'nae dedicated to learning, particularly the use of bladed weapons. In the pursuit of this, she has been recognized as a Palestra of the Peltast rank. Recently she has been seen working with [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] in his actions in the Landing, though the exact reasoning is unclear. Word has it that she originally came to the Landing to work on finding some ancient artifacts for a Sorcerer in Ta'Faendryl.

=== Qualeric ===
----

[[Qualeric]] is an elderly wizard, student of the arcane, and an active follower of [[Jastev]]. Hailing from Ta'Illistim, he enjoys learning, raining destruction upon usurpers, and all the opportunities the Shining City represents. He is currently engaged in sorting through some things owned by his widow that were recently found in an old storage shed, as well as attempting to discover a new metal which he believes exists but is otherwise undocumented. His familiar is a bat named Klysmar.

=== Rafferty ===
----

A rustic half-elf from the edges of the Wyrdeep Forest, Rafferty is wary of towns and their folk but cautiously open to broadening his horizons. He's got little patience for airs and graces, and bullies make him grouchy. Though he keeps his problems to himself, he's willing to lend a hand where he's able. Literally, if you're missing one.

=== Tanai ===
----

Tanai is an orphaned street-rat with a mysterious past. She loves sweets, the ocean, and [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]], not necessarily in that order. She considers [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] one of her mortal enemies, especially after being possessed and manipulated by him for a time. She is finally learning how to connect with people, what love entails, and how to read and write. She can be very blunt, downright rude, and occasionally volatile. She is also, however, fiercely loyal, kind-hearted (at times), and enthusiastic (especially for sweets).

=== Thresher ===

A quiet man, this Half-Krolvin is very devout in his worship of '''[[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]]'''. Despite the stereotype surrounding Marluites, Thresher himself is a kind soul, not wishing any undue harm or pain to anyone.

He believes Undead are an Abomination to his Lord...and fights against any who practice such arts fiercely.

A stranger in a strange land (to her), she often stands out for the traditional garb of her people, honoring both her Yachan Dai clan bloodline and her devotion to the Volnath Dai sect.

Tsukiko tends to be unerringly polite, if sometimes ignorant of local ways, but she is a reliable ally and skilled wielder of the katana. Tsukiko is said to make lovely jewelry from most any gemstone for a modest fee, and she has a small shop in Wehnimer's Landing.

'''[[::Whick|Great Lord Whick]]''' is polite, personable, and a man of many talents and much knowledge. He is gracious, can be kind, and he always is ready to help out those in need. At the same time, he is an unrepentant murderer and has a sadistic streak that runs deep. There is much speculation as to who his true masters are.
