Because I have trouble with names in the game, I'm proposing this project of collecting the names of important people in the game we have met. This will be essentially a cast of characters, so I don't have to strain my aged brain to think of the name of whomever I am talking to (because a lot of them look just like Rob). I'll start:

Creatures, Gods, and Goddesses

Ascendents – Mortal that have achieved or ascended to an incredible state of power to the point where they are worshiped as gods.

Creeping Chaos – An “Ascendent”. Thought to be an embodiment of chaos. Believed to like magic and have a great capacity for travel. It is also possible that a cult worships it. May have been traveling in a box of some sort in a liquid or semi-liquid state. Is thought to have been traveling to Makassar. It is possible that is was the thing Jaqueb expelled from the well in Addershelm and that it snuck into a cartfull of tribute sent from Addershelm to the Temple of the Sea at Makassar. It is also possible that it was involved with and/or destroyed by the event causing the destruction of the Temple of the Sea. Paycence's aunt sent her to the bridge where the Rain Dogs first met to investigate and possibly thwart an attempt by Creeping Chaos to enter Makassar.

Eight-ton Crazy – Gentrick's horse, one with a bit of a warhorse complex though he is nowhere near big enough. He is fine for carrying Gentrick into mounted battle, but must be constantly reigned in lest he take on foes way beyond his capabilities. (G)

Forvalaka – About fifty years ago the forvalaka first showed up in Teraja. It is said that upon their arrival entire villages were wiped out. The Forvalaka cannot be killed so they were captured and sealed up in a vault. Forvalaka do not eat, do not sleep. Several years later a Forvalaka reportedly appeared on a pirate ship. Everyone was killed except for one person. The harbormaster brought the ship into the harbor, despite objections from suspicious sailors and mariners. (PE)

So far, besides the Rain Dogs, Jonathan Wizyso, Mandeross Whitmeyr, Van Pathas and Marlise know of our killing of the forvalaka. Should Mr. Eleven find out, it would through one of them. (PE)

Llakka – Maemi's new kitty. Friendly, fuzzy, cute, and cuddly. Kept in a small cage on Rikku's back. (M)

Mesarumpulus – Little brown-skinned fuckers with tusks. (M)

Oponns - Someone help me here I have a note related to Crishop the priest but I am not sure if this is a god, person, or place (M).

Rikku – A beautiful black mare with silver threads woven into its mane and tail. Maemi's horse. (M)

Rocky the Miracle DogRocky is a Tibetan Terrier known throughout the land as a fearless defender of his tribe. Experienced evil motorcyclists, cement truck operators, and boat-towing pickup truck drivers take the longer road around Rocky's tribal lands. Rocky is also famous for his abilities as a forager and his sneaking abilities approach those of a grand master thief. (M)

Wyval – A large gargoyle like dragon. Also the name of the unaligned cards in the fortunetellers deck. (PE)

People

Anklam – A 14 year old street urchin with an incredible knack for picking locks, memorization, disappearing in a crowd, and hitting things with rocks. 5'8“ tall, 122 lbs (scrawny), usually dirty, has some acne, dark, raggedly cut hair. Wears a homespun shirt and trousers, with a thick leather jerkin/vest, but now wears good boots with nice buttons.

Weapon for brawling is still a shillaleigh, although has acquired a pistol and is learning to use that. Sky Path.

Arnik – Council member. (PE)

Asper Cadshell – A drunken “prophet” who is famous for spouting gibberish but has recently caught some sort of strange fever that enhanced the possible importance of his preaching. Asper Cadshell is also the proprietor of Relics and Holy Goods in Prophets Court. We sold him some of the items collected in the temple below the sea. He knows me as Shiloh and may be able to get me some religious robes if I need a religious alias. (PE alias: Shilo)

Bandulu – A handsome, dark skinned, heavily muscled martial artist. He is very good in a fight, a skilled acrobat, and facile at navigating the rabble, but not too bright. His lack of intelligence is often counterbalanced by an incredible stroke of wisdom or deceptively simple question. Known at the One Ring as Barney the Carny, warrior of the carny style of fighting. (M)

Note - possible husband material (M).

Beverly Pantons – Fervent warrior, impatient interrogator. One of Paycence's aliases. Name taken from the one who the sword she carries was forged for. (PE)

Cad Zerlan – Harbormaster. (PE)

The Joy Boys – The Joy Boys were a bunch of bored rich boys from the better areas of Makassar. They would cause general chaos such as vandalism and robbery, reportedly even robbing from their own parents. Eventually they became more organized and challenged the “authority” of other gangs. Their colors were a red bandana. The Joy Boys were reputedly wiped out during riots of four years ago. Mr. Eleven took advantage of the general chaos to eliminate a thorn in its side. The Joy Boys, as well as several blocks of the city were razed. The leader of the Joy Boys may have escaped back to the richer areas of the city. On the fourth night of the Leftover Days, the Joy Boys faced off with Finn’s forces on Dream Street. It was overheard that the Joy Boys kept repeating the word “Rakeshames”. (PE)

Marlise Maeorgan – Ruler of Makassar. A “Sea Lord”. Marlise Moaeorgan is the current Sea Lord. She rose to power during the riots four years ago. Her rivals expected the riots would be the end of her, but instead she has done very well, or at least that is what I have heard the Widow, my uncle and even my father has said. But despite her success, she comes from a very dysfunctional family. Thanks to the barkeep at the Dead Pelican, I’ve recently found out that one relation, Mender Maeorgan is apparently leading the Rakeshames gang. The family lives at Maeorgan Manor. (PE)

Nathan Grymes – Council member of questionable character. Paycence has information that he should be watched. Has a warehouse which receives small packages in the wee hours of the night. May have to die. (PE)

Paycence Evermoor I have been told the best reason to keep a journal is to provide a resource for mourners to talk from as they stand within the light of your funeral pyre. There is some comfort in knowing that the mourners would be professing the truth, or at least reminiscing about truth you personally advocated. So here is the truth about my life, a truth I fully advocate. – I am Paycence Evermoor, the seventh child to reach adolescence of Lady Cwenburg Evermoor-Crowford and Lord Redwald Evermoor. It should be noted that my mother was a seventh child as well. – It was said, or more so, I was told that I was born beneath the Ghost Star. Apparently this coincidence of birth carried with it deep astrological significance, again at least in the stories my uncle, Maximilian would tell. Being an astrologer he probably did know of such things. To the rest of my family – no, to the rest of the Saletan though, it was beyond their interest. Maybe this star did appear that night, maybe it did not. All I know is that I have never seen it. (PE)

Prescott – Council member representing the privateers. (PE)

Quick Ben – Wizards Guild's Past Visions expert. (PE)

Ragnor – Champion bare-knuckle fighter at the One Ring. Seven-feet tall and stands like a monolith of flesh. (PE)

They are young punks and are angry against the “older” generations. They are led by Mender Morgaine who is related to the current Sea Lord, Marlise Morgaine. Unlike the other gangs in Makassar, these boys are willing to show their colors in public, each wearing a red bandana. (PE)

Rippus – Owner of Rippus' Bakery in Cutthroat Alley. He is also known to be a fence. The bakery he runs is legitimate, as far as it goes.

Recent events have Rippus gravely wounded, but we sent him on his way to be healed and asked Calabaster to look after him.

Roberts – Council member. Ties to Libertyville. (PE)

Rocket – Face man for the Wizards Guild. All transactions start with him. (PE)

Schadae – Schadae is Anklam’s mentor. He has to be pretty good because the kid knows some stuff. Typical m.o. was for Anklam to distract while Schadae made the real heist. Schadae was supposedly arrested in the working class area before the Leftover Days. After talking with watchman Mickey O’Ryan, I am not sure who actually took him. I think Mr. Eleven might have taken him because he also sent the forvalaka after Anklam. (PE)

Shemalia House – A local noble family that suffered the theft of an heirloom sword and hired the Rain Dogs to retrieve it. (M)

Vesperia Farviale – See Foamfollower. (PE)

Zolnick the Kind - A unknown person who wrote a letter that was in the possession of Van Petha and handed to the Rain Dogs.

It is not clear whether the letter was written to Van Petha or whether he found the letter sometime during his travels. (M)

Places

Forvalaka Amulet – The Forvalaka Amulet is an aluminum medallion on an aluminum chain. On one side is a cat-like silhouette and the message “Move Swiftly, Kill Quietly” written in Terajian. The medallion is older than 50 years and based on a true vision, it was created by twelve humans sacrificing many large cats. It is powerful and arcane. The medallion was found on a dead forvalaka. It was hot to Bandulu’s touch. We received another medallion from Van Patha. Anklam picked it up and it was hot to the touch. When we placed the two medallions together, Anklam saw many forvalaka watching us, especially watching me. Based on a feeling Jac’Qeb had when he attuned to the Naharien Orb, the amulet is evil.
