Gossif Tamary: Leader of the Council for the Tower of Gold and Order of the Golden Sash. He is the oldest known expert on Battle Magic on Jade. Gossif, however, is old and considered a bit senile.

Soon, the dwarf led a group away from the mountains to an area in the hills. Now, Hill Dwarves, his kind changed trading forever. However, in his attempt to build the greatest dwarven city ever, a cataclysm took the world and wracked it of every known place the world had known. What was one continent became two. His great city now a coastal city, he decided to let humans into his dream and help build a port worthy of dwarves. Now, years later, an old cackling dwarf, he lives in this city and still supports the humans within. He has given the thrown to a son, who is now king.

The Lord of Smoke is a lich or an undead wizard of immense power. His patience is unyielding and he appears to aspire godhood since his spirit has achieved immortal life. It is said that he was once Jessimon Thyme?s prodigy, yet this information has been lost to the cataclysm. Now, he resides on the continent of Zoria and is in charge of the Tower of Smoke and the Order that rules it. Yet, none in the school and order have seen him. He now sends his minions to conquer various lands and certain peoples that may oppose him.

Fioniel: A promising young half-elf druidess charged with protecting a beautiful portion of the southern Ashinti forest. She cherishes the lushness of her forest home, the great diversity of flourishing life, and she distrusts the singleminded starkness of form and function in the cities. Her life's work is to serve her forest, the Grand Druid, and her art to the best of her ability, and she is more than willing to lay down her life in such service, if need be. It is not bravery, or brashness, or thoughts of glory that drive her, but a quiet and humble sense of duty.

Penn now is a Private in a secret militia and has no current residence.

Quinnan Beyrdane: The grandson of a great wizard, Quinnan wishes to do his grandfather proud by following in his footsteps. He has much to learn but for now he'll settle for getting a better grasp on the difference between illusion and reality.
