Connections Between The Party Members and NPCs (WIP)

The Traveler - One of two gods he loosely "worshiped". The Traveler has recently made an offer to make Arix his "champion" as dull as the Traveler describes it. He's said Arix's role is to be the "fun police". Tricks are meant to be "fun, but never malicious"; the goal is to "delight and confuse". This granted Arix several new abilities that allow him to follow through on those tricks, and they will also aid him in a fight. There were a few other things the Traveler asked for: Help Orestes lighten up, help Artemis try not to lose herself in violence on her hunt for her father, and keep Enilasor safe.

Tiamat - One of two gods he loosely "worshiped". He's since turned his back on her after the Traveler asked him to be his champion.

His former tribe that exiled him after a failed mission.

___ and ___ - Parents. His father was murdered by Rorix and he also tortured his mother.

Baron Tifflich - A friend he made in the beginning of the campaign, details are fuzzy to me as to why they get along because I wasn't there for it. --Doc

Niall - A man from Arix's past who went on to become a bard. The details are a little vague. He was the second Dannihyr son, the one Arix was actually supposed to kill. The description Arix was given was vague enough that he confused the two, and Niall wasn't even there until Arix was leaving. He has read a Black Book, but he supposedly brushed off its influence and wasn't corrupted like Selemchant.

Selemchant - One of the Council of Five, the last to be killed, and the one who initially hired Arix to kill Niall.

Rorix Shiv (deceased) - Younger brother who killed their father and took Arix's place when Arix was stripped of his position and rank. He activated the Black Book of Dreams, but was later killed by Arix and the party.

Medgar Mithtak - Her Dragonborn fiance, met when her people sought aid from their neighbors to protect their village

Ernie and Hedwig Mazikeen - Parents. Her mother is dead, but her father still lives. His location is in another plane, but which and where in that plane is still unknown to her.

Gelibor - A firbolg who is the leader of the druids, believed to be the most powerful among them. When she was first lost and sent to Toril, he is one of the ones who found her and took her in, along with Morgana.

Orestes - Tihn met Orestes when Orestes was hunting one of the Black Books. They followed him when he left to go get it after he'd told them to stay home, and they were exposed to the magic of the Black Book, injuring and cursing them like it did Orestes. After he told them a second time to stay home while he went to find and destroy the rest, Tihn disobeyed again and followed him, meeting the party in the Tree Home.

TBA

Niall, the Vox - The Vox is one of the Four Champions of Saortha.

The Huntmistress - one of the Four Champions of Saortha and the one who commands Saortha's military.

Glacadieri Gadaí - is a member of this organization, Paladins that have sworn oaths to the people rather than a god. He is also a type of intelligence officer.

Jim Tully- a pirate-turned-smuggler-turned-diplomat-turned-pirate and close friend to Ellis. Ellis saved Jim from a deep depression and gave his life purpose once again by introducing him to the Revolutionary Army.

Malquis Mistfield née Boneshot and Aerdeth Mistfield - Parents.

• Mother was the last Wanderer, Autumn aligned

• Father is the seneschal for the Autumn Archon, Autumn aligned

• Uncle, Mother's side, Bertihir, Winter aligned, has a job as a cobbler

• Cousin, Mother's side, Rewolfyam, Summer aligned, works as the Reeve for the Summer Archon

• Grandfather, Father's side, Thedrae, Spring and Summer aligned, High Priest at the temple in the Blessings Tree

• Grandmother, Father's side, Esina, Autumn aligned, former seneschal for the Autumn Archon

The Wanderers - Women from her mother's side of the family who took the role of the Wanderer and traveled between planes to protect the innocent and help who they could. The first Wanderer was part of a trio called the Wayfarers, made up of her, the Traveler, and the Seeker.

The Traveler - Twin brother to Ysiad, the first Wanderer. He died to stop the first Day of Black Sun and was granted godhood as a reward for his "sacrifice" when he died trying to help a cursed boy. He's now the god of mischief, trickery, thieves, ingenuity, etc. He kept a close eye on Enilasor while she was growing up and brought her sweets and gifts of toys and other things to cheer her up on bad days or just to spoil her. She didn't know the identity of the invisible person who brought her these things until the campaign, when he finally revealed himself to her and the party in the Tree Home. Enilasor called her invisible guardian her Blueberry Fairy. He's spent time watching over the Wanderers over the years, only intervening those he thought needed the help and guidance. Not every Wanderer met him.

The Caretakers - The secret order that Ysiad was a part of until the crisis when she broke her vows and left the Order to help. When she returned, she became their headmistress for a time. They didn't know she had a family after she eventually left them.

Orestes - He's the teenager she saw at court in Cormanthyr. She didn't know someone would walk in and see her face uncovered and without paint covering the skin around her eyes, allowing her to be identifiable. She lived in fear of him and her situation for months after the incident, paranoid that the prince who saw her would tell someone what she looked like. It wouldn't be difficult to figure out where she was from, or her possible connection to the Wanderer, putting her and her mother and their family in danger.

• Until their fight in Amphail, she didn't recognize him.

• He also posed as a cultist in the Temple of the Elder Tree, though when he found out she was there and that she wasn't the real Wanderer, he didn't interact with her. Currently, she doesn't know that he knew she was there.

• They're beginning to show a romantic interest in one another. They are definitely, outwardly, showing an interest in one another.

Malyn Volar - A warlock from Amphail who has released Azathoth from his book, using Enilasor and her mother in the ritual to do so. He cursed Enilasor and she killed her mother. Until recently, she thought she'd done it out of self-defense, but the Traveler informed her that it wasn't her mother that was cursed; it was her. He's left traces of his magic on her that's partly bound to her soul, and J described her as basically a magical switchboard, both in and out of the ritual.

• He has recently called her his puppet, stating that she had more to do, increasing her paranoia tenfold.

Mepha Azat - A LaShay thief from the Feywild. The party doesn't know him outside of what little they heard in Baldur's Gate, and Enilasor and Orestes haven't volunteered any information on him. Her history with him isn't yet known.

• • Mepha Azat, for an unknown price, trade, or threat, tricked Malquis and Enilasor into going to Amphail to meet with Malyn, resulting in Malquis's murder

Niall - Niall gave her the Anstruth Harp. Enilasor was the first in their group aside from Ellis to trust him, knowing that he was an Aasimar and hadn't fallen. It took time but she eventually spilled the secret to the others to stop an argument that broke out between their group and Ellis when Arix and Orestes pulled a gun on Ellis.

Olivka - A physician and former fling/current friend of hers that went to Candlekeep when Orestes did. After being heavily injured shortly after her mother's murder, Enilasor woke up in a bed in Doctor Daisymae's office, where Enilasor met Daisymae's apprentice, Olivka. They quickly hit it off and in the two or three months Enilasor was there recovering, the pair hit it off well enough that they turned their friendship into a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Apparently, Daisymae knew the Wanderer and figured out that Enilasor must be her daughter. The two physicians promised to keep her secret. Olivka is where Enilasor learned how to use the healing spells the Horae gave her.

c'Nehr'r'Tihn - a young Grung Orestes met on his travels to find the Black Books. Tihn refused to stay behind when Orestes told them to. They were injured and exposed to the Book Orestes was hunting, and Orestes blames himself. He's furious and terrified that Tihn didn't listen to him and followed him anyway after he told them to stay home. He's incredibly protective of Tihn and will slaughter anyone that tries to lay a hand on him.

Giles and Theophania van Lynets - Parents

Coronal of Cormanthyr - He's the crown prince to take his grandmother's place when she dies or steps down.

Electra - His sister and the Spymaster for Cormanthyr

Sota - Sister-in-Law, unknown which of Orestes' sisters she's married to. Hasn't seen Orestes in almost a decade and dotes on him.

Vordt - A cabin boy he allied with for a short time to bring down Hawkwave, who was using a Black Book to build a flying dreadnought. Together, they destroyed the ship. Unfortunately, he was lured in by the Black Book they recovered and gave in to its offer for power. After Orestes took the Book from him and Vordt attacked, Orestes killed him. Orestes claims that the kid was his first real kill.

Political Figures/Factions - Various thieves guilds, Candlekeep (formerly), to be added

The Thieves Guild in Baldur's Gate - Full history of their working relationship is unknown, though they hold him in high regard.

Mepha Azat - A LaShay thief he briefly worked with in Baldur's Gate that shouted to get the guard's attention so they'd see and catch Orestes. He ran as soon as he did. Unknown yet as to what he got in return for keeping Orestes from getting to the Black Book. The thieves guild in Baldur's Gate introduced them, not knowing that he'd sell out Orestes the way he did.

Enilasor - The Wanderer's Companion, rumored to be her daughter, visited Cormanthyr a few times with the Wanderer, and while he and Enilasor didn't speak much, they did briefly see one another just before a festival to celebrate the announcement of Orestes being named the heir to the throne. He recognized her once she took her scarf and hood off after their fight, and although she was in a different season, she hadn't changed since then. He heard that the Wanderer was a prisoner in the Temple of the Elder Tree but has yet to mention that he knew that she was there, had seen her, and left her behind. They're beginning to show a romantic interest in one another during the campaign.

The Previous Wanderer(s) - He grew up with the stories and had a great deal of respect for the Wanderer, which is what fueled his rage when he finally confronted Enilasor for pretending to be the Wanderer and sullying her name.

Olivka - A former classmate at Candlekeep and one of the other prospective "Entities," dubbed the "Doctor" and the "Eighth." She was tolerated, while the others were almost outright hated, although he thought she was very self-righteous.

The Hierophant in Luruar - Morgana's mother, who Morgana distanced herself from when she was older because of ______.
