Germanicus DuValle: Until recently a baron, currently the most well recognized and powerful lord in Arthuria, slatted to become its first King. Known for a stern adherence to chivalry, law, and justice, as well as keen strategic, tactical, and political sense.
The Three Hag Queens: Arina, Serafina, and Jagha are the three witches who, through cunning and skill have risen to the highest level of power a witch or warlock can attain. Hag Magic being, generally, a very cutthroat discipline in which power must be increased at the expense of others (or other powerful things/places/etc), this is no small feat. All three are difficult to find, but all three, unlike the highest officers of most schools of magic, will work for anybody if the price is right. Their names are spoken in hushed and fearful voices, and although most magicians scoff, there are few who doubt the power of the hag queens.
Hadrian of the Stone Tower: The most talented magician in Karthay, possibly all of Amora. Karthayan magic was fairly rudimentary until this generation, but Hadrian has canonized a wealth of new spells and restructured their school of magic with stunning success. He is said to be a haughty, moody, egocentric genius: despite his faults, his tremendous power and extensive service to the Karthayan state means that he is amongst the most important political players in Karthay.
The Kestrel: A notorious Blood Elf captain with a flare for the dramatic known to frequent the waters of the central Isles. He has conducted a number of raids on Caminus, some very daring and risky, and he clearly takes great pleasure in the fact that any attempts by Lord Cimon to catch him have been completely unsuccessful. He is aggressive and ruthless, but he does adhere to some poorly understood code of conduct.
Gwyndolin: A wise old crone legendary among the villages of Amoris for her knowledge of the auspices, of medicinal herbs, and of minor charms and spells to aid the common man. She was old when the character's parents were young, so she is clearly ancient. Mysteriously, no one has seen hide nor hair of her in the past year.
King Dionysius: Sovereign of the fae of Caminus. No non-faerie has seen him since Tom the Fool ventured into the deep forests, but his royal seal upon the gifts delivered to the royal house of Cimon upon the birth of children to any member of the Cimon line indicates that he is alive and well. Before the time of Tom the Fool, Dionysius let it be known that he saw the island as his, and his faeries did as they pleased in the villages of Caminus. Nowadays, the fae keep to the deep woods, and it is at their own peril that any cross into their domain.
Lord Cimon: The latest in a long line of rulers of Caminus, Gaius Cimon is just but stern ruler. He is slow to enact policy, but typically when he does, it betters the island. Nevertheless, he will not tolerate any potential challenge to his rule, and it is known that his court is heavily steeped in intrigue. Despite his stern manner in regards to policy, he is quite extravagant with his free time, throwing huge, elaborate parties, games, hunts, and other events for local and foreing nobles. As such, he has become a favorite destination for royals touring the islands, or exiled nobility from places as far off as Imadigo. Lord Cimon is also a passable warrior and general, and has reduced blood elf and dwarf raiding on the island, although the problem remains far from solved.
