Hesjingvaerix (Vaerix) (Vae)

a bronze dragon known to Sseth

Hesjingvaerix — who introduced herself to the adventurers as Vaerix and is called Vae by Sseth — is a powerful bronze dragon and a friend of Sseth's. She lives somewhere in the ocean west of the Calim Desert. Summoned by Sseth by means of dolphins, she appeared to the adventurers on board The Daisy as an exceptionally tall human woman with bronze hair and emerald eyes. When the blue dragon Yrevkethend returned, she returned Sseth to his dragon form and herself morphed into her bronze dragon form. Together with Sseth and two other bronze dragons, she drove the blue dragon off.

Sseth

a brass dragon living in the Calim desert

Sseth is a mature adult brass dragon who lives in the Teshyllal Wastes with molten white eyes and shiny brass-colored scales. He is a rather average brass dragon physically, but he differs from other brass dragons in his intense love of literature, calling himself a "book wyrm". In addition to reading anything and everything about ancient Calimshan, he loves to fly.

The party met him at the ruins of Teshyll, where, after talking to them happily for several hours, he finally led them to an entrance to the Harem Palace of Calim that had been uncovered for only the last six months. He made a deal with them to find him a relic of ancient history. In exchange, he would find the hobgoblins from the air.

He was successful in capturing one of the hobgoblins in Barlock's party that was on the way to the Altar of the Air. After they questioned the hobgoblin, they summoned Allu with one of the magical black bottles. Sseth defeated Allu with a single blast of his dragon breath, putting the efreeti to sleep. However, the bottle summoned Allu back and vanished before they could capture him.

Sseth now guards the second magic bottle and had agreed to continue searching for Allu's hidden base. Unfortunately, he was taken prisoner by the blue dragon Yrevkethend while performing that task and was a captive in the stronger dragon's underground lair as a polymorphed parrot.

The adventurers succeeded in rescuing him. With the help of his friend Hesjingvaerix and two other bronze dragon's, Sseth, in his natural form, protected the adventurers from Yrevkevend when she returned from hunting. They await to hear word from him.

Yrevkethend

the blue dragon who imprisoned Sseth

Yrevkethend is the name of a powerful blue dragon living on the western edge of the Calim Desert who imprisoned Sseth in her lair by polymorphing him into a parrot. This occurred when Sseth was investigating her lair accidentally while searching for a back entrance into Allu's hidden palace.

She seemed to have a fondness for keeping monstrous pets with elemental breath powers.

The adventurers, with the help of retired dragonslayer Rinald Overman, entered Yrevkethend's lair. In the course of rescuing the brass dragon, they slew her two children, her gorgon, and one of her two hydras, while she was off hunting.

When she returned, she was driven off by the combined efforts of Sseth and three bronze dragons, allowing the adventurers to sail away to safety.

Malick was a young, affluent illusionist residing in the capital city of Darromar.

Leokas heeded a summon by Malick for bounty hunters to pursue a hobgoblin and recover a stolen gem.

After recovering the gem, the party fortuitously learned that the gem was not as Malick had described nor did it seem to belong to him. The party returned to Darromar to question him about this.

They learned that Malick had once been a stowaway on a hobgoblin pirate ship that had shipwrecked on an island. On that island, the hobgoblins were visited by the efreeti Allu, who became their god. They repaired their ship and sailed back to Faerûn, and Malick hid aboard the ship again. When they neared land, he escaped in a life boat, but first he stole the gem, which was an Omlar gem, from Allu.

Malick is also the one who sold Jayce into slavery. Jayce had tried to steal from him and was captured by the illusionist's animated statues.

The party had agreed to return the gem to Malick, but only after he pays them a 10,000 aenar reward.

During the time when Malick was gathering the funds to pay their fee, he was murdered by another band of hobgoblins sent by Allu.

lizardfolk

Kothar

the druid leader of a band of lizardfolk

The Misfits met Kothar in the jungles of Chult, near the village of Binkwan. The druid leader wanted the group to translate some pages they had found, which were from the journal of an explorer. Kothar was hoping the pages described the location of good fishing grounds, for there were illustrations of fish. The pages did indeed describe good fishing; however, they also warned of heavy dire bear activity in the area. The adventurers passed on this information to Kothar, which frustrated him, as his band of lizardfolk were hungry. They appeased him by offering ten day's worth of rations. In exchange, Kothar gave the party a sack of silver coins.
mercenaries

Rinald Overman (Rinald)

a retired dragon slayer from Myratma

Rinald Overman is a retired adventurer and dragonslayer living in Myratma who in his younger days killed nearly a score of dragons, at least one of each of the five chromatic types. He now keeps a shop in the old city center of Myratma, selling small souvenirs and toys. (He also makes and sells dragoncraft items and a small collection of magic, but he does not commonly advertise this.)

Because of his background, Rinald is an endless source of trustworthy information about dragons and their lore, and Kyrin Hawkwinter suggested that the adventurers visit him before seeking to rescue Sseth from the claws of a blue dragon.

Rinald looks far younger than his actual age of 70 years. He still has a full head of long hair, though it is white, and sports a horseshoe-shaped mustache. He is still in shape and stands up straight at a height of six feet. His eyes are brown, and he weighs about 190 pounds.

When dressed for adventuring, Rinald keeps his hair back in a ponytail. He wears studded leather armor branded with Draconic lettering and bears a mithral ranseur and a longbow carved from dragon bone.

The adventurers had signed a contract with him to sign over their keep to Rinald's family in the case of his death and so convinced him to join them in their rescue of Sseth. His advice helped keep the party alive during their nearly tenday-long raid of Yrevkevend's lair. The magic arrow he gave to Leokas caused the death of one of Yrevkevend's children, and Rinald himself slew the other. However, he was shortly thereafter turned to stone by Yrevkevend's gorgon.

opponents

Allu

an efreeti pretending to be a god of hobgoblins

Allu is the name of a so-called "god" served by the hobgoblins Gnish and Barlock. Those two hobgoblins told the hobgoblin slaves of Keltar that Allu had sent them to deliver them out of slavery and lead them to his "holy palace" to serve him there.

In actuality, Allu seems to be an efreeti. His exact origin is unknown, but he first encountered hobgoblins on an island where a group of hobgoblin pirates had shipwrecked. He convinced a portion of these pirates to worship and serve him, and they repaired their ship and sailed with him to Faerûn.

The illusionist Malick, who was a stowaway aboard their vessel, stole an Omlar gem that Allu bore, before escaping off the ship. Allu was able to track Malick and sent one of his hobgoblin servants to retrieve the gem. This was the same hobgoblin that Leokas had been pursuing and that Vashti slew.

While the brass dragon Sseth was there to defend them, the adventurers summoned Allu with one of his magical bottles, which he gave to some of his hobgoblin servants. Before he could harm anyone, Sseth put him to sleep with a cloud of gas, but the fire genie vanished before they could bind him or question him.

While Sseth searched the southwestern portion of the Calim Desert for Allu's hidden lair, the adventurers explored the Altar of the Air, where Allu had last sent some of his hobgoblin servants. While there, the party encountered El Sadhara, and Vashti used another magic bottle to summon Allu there. Allu was last seen in an epic battle with El Sadhara as the adventurers fled the scene.

The adventurers have had no direct contact with him since then. However, his hobgoblins slew Malick shortly after the visit to Darromar.

Sseth claims to have found the efreeti's palace, but the adventurers have yet to visit it.

El Sadhara (Fida'iya) (The Desert Rose)

a mummified priestess of Akadi

High Whirlwind Fida'iya yr Iamar, commonly known as El Sadhara, "the Desert Rose", is an exceptionally powerful priestess of Akadi who has been mummified. She resides at the Altar of the Air and is said to possess many treasures.

She is also reported to believe that she is the lover of the djinni lord Calim. In addition, she thinks that Calim and Akadi are the same being.

The party stole one of her prayer journals, in which she described finding a journal of Samber's in the Elemental Plane of Air. They encountered her while she was preparing a statue in Calim's likeness in hopes of magically changing the stone into flesh for Calim to inhabit. During the confrontation, Barlock destroyed the statue, sending her into a rage, during which time she killed Barlock and summoned a large air elemental to fight the adventurers. Vashti used Barlock's summoning bottle to call Allu, who battled with El Sadhara while the adventurers fled.

After Kyrin Hawkwinter's wedding, while on a journey to Myratma to find passage on a ship, an agent of El Sadhara ambushed them on the road. It was defeated but Hakam's leg was broken during the fight.

Gargon Hedgeguard (Gargon)

a self-titled Baron in Monteshi County

Sir Gargon, who sometimes called himself Baron Gargon, was a landowner and knight in County Monteshi, south of Darromar.

Faelar Eveningfall believed that it was Baron Gargon who attacked Moonspinner Web, the home of Faelar and Gargantos and Mythlos Moonspinner.

Faelar's suspicions proved true. The adventurer's stole into Gargon's keep and the caverns underneath, where they found and rescued Gargantos, leader of Moonspinner Web and Mythlos' grandfather. When exiting the caverns, however, they were surrounded and captured by Gargon and his hires. Gargon challenged Mythlos in single combat to the death to prevent the bloody battle that would have occurred otherwise. Though Gargon struck Mythlos down, Mythlos was declared the winner when Gargon tried to wield Mythlos' moonblade and the magical sword rejected him, killing him.

The ownership of Gargon's keep was transferred to Mythlos.
oracles

Yasheira

a druidic oracle living in the jungles of Chult

Yasheira is an enigmatic druidess living alone in the jungles of Chult with strong divinatory powers.

She provided prophecies to the adventurers in exchange for an uncut diamond.

Yasheira's age and race were not clear to the adventurers. She mostly appeared human, but she had extra-long fingers, with additional joins, and extra, transparent eyelids. She had wild, untended coppery hair. Her clothes were dirty, worn, and threadbare. Her muddy skin was pale with a subtle red tint. Her accent and the decorum of her house were very Calishite in nature.

Yasheira keeps a few dinosaurs as pets, using magic to reduce them to more manageable sizes.

Samber

a magician whose name is inscribed on the Omlar gem the party possesses

Very little is known about Samber, except that the party discovered a journal of his in the abode of the priestess of Akadi known as El Sadhara. El Sadhara had found his journal while visiting the Elemental Plane of Air.

By a strange coincidence, the Dethek runes found on the Omlar gem the adventurers possess were the same letters used by Samber to inscribe his name on the cover of the journal.

In the journal, he described some magical experiments and studies he was performing with the the djinn involving the construction of a golem.

the Maker

the enigmatic figure the islanders revere

"The Maker" is the term the islanders use to refer to the one they claim made each of them. Two of the islanders, Grimno and Carthar, are permitted to summon the Maker once a day.

Mythlos, Hakam, Jayce, and Oma managed to find the hidden summoning chamber below the meeting hall and rang a gong that summoned the Maker. He appeared to them as a floating, flaming head. The Maker refused to speak with them and ordered them leave his presence immediately.

Gargantos Moonspinner (Gargantos)

Mythlos Moonspinner's grandfather

Gargantos Moonspinner was the leader of a small group of moon elves in Tethyr. Unlike other moon elf groups, the group headed by Gargantos didn't travel much; they used to live in a small colony, Moonspinner Web, in some woods near a human settlement and never mingled freely with the other elven groups in the region. It was rumored that Gargantos had been a great warrior in his day and an acclaimed wizard, but for unknown reasons, he put down his longsword and vowed never to fight for the moon elves again.

Gargantos raised his grandson, Mythlos, as his own son. When their colony was raided by a Tethyrian lord, Gargantos refused to fight, but he bequeathed his longsword to Mythlos.

The adventurers learned that Gargantos had been kept as prisoner by Gargon, because Gargon's cousin had been accidentally killed by Gargantos during a goblin raid of a human village in which Gargantos was defending. (This was the reason that Gargantos gave up his sword.) They rescued Gargantos, and Mythlos fought a duel with Gargon to purchase his freedom.

Afterward, Gargantos left with Faelar Eveningfall to seek out elven relatives in the north.
