Key Personas
Dame Elara Vance
Elara is a woman of hard lines and absolute pragmatism. She is generous with strangers who offer genuine help, yet she is remarkably miserly with her own kin, whom she views as hangers-on. She believes that the law is a tool for survival, not a moral compass. In times of peace, she is quiet and observant, but in the heat of conflict, her voice takes on a booming, gravelly authority that brooks no dissent. She harbors an intense, thinly veiled prejudice against the unrefined, viewing the Barbarian of the party with deep suspicion and treating them as a wild animal rather than a colleague.
Korgath Steel-Lung
Korgath is a man of few words and absolute convictions. He is fiercely protective of the 'true' forest but displays a cold indifference to the lives of city-dwellers, whom he views as parasites. While he is terrifyingly violent in combat, he is surprisingly gentle with injured wildlife, often spending hours meticulously cleaning the wounds of a beast he just spent days tracking. He respects strength and survival, yet he holds a secret, bitter hatred for the Golden Wheel syndicate that boarders on a death-wish obsession.
