Notables of Highland

Captain Thalon

Captain of the elite Highland Special Ops, the companions of the The Sleeping Gods Campaign came across this man and his unit while investigating unrest in a small mining town northeast of Castledown. His team had been trying without success to determine why the people had become so violent and angry without any success.

The Spec Ops team accompanied the companions on their way to the village, and witnessed as they beat back and banished a pit fiend, destroyed a Wyrm Wraith, and uncovered a plot wherein a group of Droolers was going to attempt to attack the village and pin it on Kogad-zor in an effort to begin a war.

When the companions then investigated the village, it was found that each of the villagers was being manipulated by a crystal around their necks imbued with chaos. A traveling mage and come into town and told them the crystal would glow in the presence of toxic gases, and so they wore them to keep themselves safe. Upon destroying the crystals, the villagers were broken from this control and confused about what had happened in the meantime.

The companions then took out the chaos mage hiding in an unused portion of the mine, and freed the wererats trapped within.


Torag

This giant of a tribesman hails from the Ice Dragon clan; a hearty, resilient tribe that call the merciless mountains of Ice Peak home. During the The Quest for the Helm of Command Campaign, he offered his services as a guide to reach Ice Peak in the search for the Helm. During this treacherous climb, the companions were unable to carry much in the way of heavy gear due to the deep snows, and combat was challenging.

In the course of reaching the peak, the companions also met a young woman named Elsa, who happened to be a very talented Ice Mage. It was revealed that Torag and Elsa were much more than just acquaintances, and she was actually carrying his child.
