Landing Events (KST)

Overview

Between GM Kenstrom's major storylines for Wehnimer's Landing comes the buildup to and fallout from those stories. Below are chronicles of these interim events in recent years from 2017 on.

NPCs Present in the Landing

• Alendrial DeArchon - Town Councilwoman appointed by Cruxophim, wife of the wealthy merchant Stephos, and former leader of the [[::Brotherhood of Rooks|Rooks]], then known as "The Mother."
• Beldrin - Town Councilman appointed by Puptilian. A gambling hall owner with connections to the Rooks.
• Breshon Caulfield - Current commander of the [[::Kingdom of Hendor|Hendoran]] outpost. Son of the Baron of Bourth.
• Casiphia - A relatively new militia member who was a companion of Thadston, and was once romantically involved with Disean.
• Larsya Caulfield - A mischievous, pirate-loving little girl. Daughter of the Baron of Bourth.
• Malluch Burdos - Jastevian seer. Currently insane after an attack while imprisoned for crimes as a Rone vigilante influenced by the Alchemist Praxopius.
• Mother - The current leader of the Rooks, who says that the violent ways of past leaders Rysus and Drangell are over. Might or might not have any relation to Alendrial, the previous "Mother."

• Stephos DeArchon - Wealthy merchant with a shady history and connections throughout Idolone.

NPCs of Unknown Whereabouts

• Ayred - Also known as the ivory mage, a specialist in creating portals. Often works with the DeArchons.
• Cayde - A trader dealing in bleakstone, a new material discovered at the Bleaklands. Seen around the Landing only once.
• Chrysamber Epoch - A Chronomage. No association with the Landing, but aided against Raznel and departed after her death.
• Disean - Thadston's son and a former member of the Blameless. Previously under the control of Raznel, Thadston had him sent off with the Eloth Dai.
• Falzcrow - Half-krolvin son of Kragnack, who aided in his downfall and then moved on to River's Rest.
• Grishom Stone - A man seeking to surpass the power of the Arkati, last seen entering the Deadfall. Largely regarded as one of the lands' greatest threats.
• Lheren Hochstib - Prelate in the Church of Koar, who aided against Chaston Griffin and executed Davard. Rarely around the Landing since church matters keep him elsewhere.
• Octaven - Grand Magister of the Hall of Mages. A mysterious figure who has both attacked and offered aid in the past.
• Pylasar - Landing Councilman, former Grand Magister at the Hall of Mages, and time traveler. Tried to investigate Kezmon Isle as a debt to Chrysamber, but might be as lost as the isle itself.
• Quinshon - A Tehir nicknamed the Dissembler, formerly from the Hall of Mages, and the blood father of Naimorai--though he later aided against her, striking a deal with Pylasar before departing.
• Teuriz - A Tehiri shaman who's aided against Raznel and Quinshon, though also claims that one day he'll work with the latter against Grishom Stone. He wanders, coming and going.
• Thadston Andrews - Landing militia interim marshal appointed by Lylia, former knight, former commander of the Hendoran outpost. Trapped himself in the Bleaklands to seal a portal that would have let the Landing get overrun; whether he lives is unknown.
• Thrayzar - Former Landing militia marshal, cursed by Raznel into the body of an orc. She completed the curse to transform his mind many years later and it's unknown if he's dead or wanders the wilderness as an orc.

• Carenos - Mularosian who tortured Cyph Kestrel, then pursued vengeance against him after Cyph murdered his daughters in retaliation.
