"Hear ye! Hear ye! We are out of Mountain Dew."
-Lepherro, Royal Announcer

.KING LEODD FALDAIN.
Lord of Owls, Ruler of Bravehold
Wise, compassionate, and beloved by his subjects, King Faldain has ushered the Kingdom of Bravehold into prosperity and fortune through his judicious leadership. While the good King is a swell guy with a heart of gold, he does have the smallest hint of a naive, idealistic streak, making him always think the best of people. Long may he reign!
.QUEEN BRIZZALYN FALDAIN.
Lady of Owls
Sharp-witted and keenly perceptive, Bravehold's Queen is a stark contrast to her Husband, possessing an impressive level of smarts and perception. Often reigning in the King's soft-heartedness with her own pragmatic viewpoints and logical outlook, Queen Faldain is most certainly the brains behind the operation of the Monarchy.
.PRINCE MORZIC FALDAIN.
Unwilling Heir to the Throne, A.K.A. Zebastian Dragonsoul
The sole heir to the Throne of the Realm has perilously little interest in matters of rulership, and the young Prince would much rather be rocking out with his band than tending to the tedious boredom of governance. Prince Morz-I mean, Zebastian Dragonsoul is the lead singer and lute player of Peasant Upryzing, his completely legit and street-savvy band (just ask him). Currently, the Prince and his curious troupe are on tour. Catch them at the Stalwart Pelican Tavern before it's sold out!
.ALTRA.
Environmentally Conscious Elf
The flute player of Peasant Upryzing is the environmental conscious of the group, always ready to infuse messages about living in harmony with nature in all of the group's songs and activities. Her sensitive nature and love of all things holistic make her rather hostile to Bravehold's ever-increasing expansion, and she is not shy about voicing those concerns...often.
.DURNER.
Despondent Dwarf Drummer
With a mysterious past and downtrodden view on life, Durner the Dwarf brings his downer attitude and dynamic drumming to Peasant Upryzing, rounding out the colorful trio and always ready to bring his own grim introspection to any conversation. Fatalistic and morose, Durner seeks to soothe the churning darkness deep within his cavernous soul by spreading it to others. How thoughtful.
.LEPHERRO.
The Royal Announcer
Short, snooty and unassuming, Lepherro buzzes around Court in a constant state of aloofness, using his dramatic voice to announce newcomers to the King's majestic Audience Chamber. Not very well liked and generally considered an overly theatric pest by most, Lepherro knows every name in Bravehold, and can pronounce them with such flourish, to boot!
Knight of the Realm, Best Swordsman in the Kingdom World
Bravehold's most valorous and famous Knight is also its most conceited and arrogant. Much to the chagrin of the fair Maidens of the land (as well as himself), Sir Chadworth is set to be wed in the next week to a rather curious bride of a most colorful background. The dashing and handsome Knight single handedly defeated the vicious Dragon Rufonax, only to find that his damsel in distress was the Goblin Princess Kruzette. I am sure they will make curious children...
.BISHOP LEYDIUS RACKLEY.
Keeper of the Faith
The Church of Valtus holds great political sway in Bravehold, and its Bishops are among the most influential of its ilk. Of all these hallowed priests, Bishop Rackley is the most interested in...teaching the uneducated Heathens of the world the true meaning of faith (and tithing). The good Bishop is most adept at quoting scripture, as well as devising truly inspired torture techniques. Double bonus!
.ORDIL TALLWHEAT.
Displaced Farmer
The Tallwheat farm stood for countless generations, housing a line of humble and good-natured farmers, until the magnificent super-highway Longcobble Road began its construction. Forced to leave the place of his birth and compensated with new lodgings elsewhere, Ordil longs to return to his ancestral home before it is forever paved over and forgotten.
.ROLAND THE BRIDGE TROLL.
Dismembered Head
Tasked with collecting the Troll Toll from those wishing to cross The Endless Bridge, Roland ran into some bad luck when an angry forest creature knocked his head off and absconded with his body, leaving him unable to perform his Trollish duties. Word is he's back in action and in one piece again. The man most certainly loves his job.
.MADAM WOLSKA.
Craggy Old Gypsy
If you're ever wandering through the bleak, wind-swept terrain of the Rotten Hills, you're most certain to come across this feeble looking old woman, wandering up and down the lonesome trails with her woven picnic basket in hand. Wolska sells her trinkets and wares to any passers by, and is always happy to make a trade. She also has a fondness for the taste of black, sticky blood (don't ask).
Banshee of the Rotten Hills
A truly gifted performer, Opal was transformed into an undying Banshee after reading a cursed Songbook that she acquired from the mysterious Madam Wolska. Upon attaining her new and grim powers, she accidentally killed her loving Husband, Starkford, with her killer voice, and has mourned him ever since. Roaming about the lonesome halls of their once-happy home in the Rotten Hills, Opal dreams of a day when she and the love of her Unlife can be reunited. Luckily for her, sometimes, dreams come true.
.STARKFORD LEMONBERRY.
Famed Composer, Recently Returned Cadaver
Brilliant composer and ever-faithful Husband to his dear Wife, Opal, Starkford Lemonberry was on the precipice of crafting his final masterwork opera when tragedy struck, and he was accidentally killed by his Banshee Bride. For countless years, he rested in a special sarcophagus in the Cemetery next to Lemonberry House, kept preserved and in mint condition via one of Opal's Preservation Songs. This genius entertainer has found new life through the brave deeds of our noble heroes, and he's proceeded to get to work on finishing up his magnum opus.
Elder Keeper of Crampgarden
Legendary and hallowed, the ancient beings known as Elder Keepers are tasked with maintaining the balance of nature throughout creation. Thanturadriss has kept wise, careful vigil on his domain of Crampgarden, but recent events have seen the ancient Tree-fellow besieged with a foggy malaise that has upset the balance of the wild. Now that he has a new assistant to aid him in his very important work, however, things are most certainly looking up.
Owner and Proprietor of the Stalwart Pelican Tavern
Everyone in the pleasant little village of Kelwhistle has spent a few shiny gold coins on frothy brew at the renowned Stalwart Pelican Tavern, run faithfully by the busy-body Dwarf Hurloff. Seemingly eternally behind his bar keeping a watchful eye, Hurloff's most recent idea to drum up more business is to host a Talent Show in his establishment, open to all of the Realm's curious inhabitants. I wonder who'll win?
Pillow Fluffer Extraordinaire
Hurloff's hearty mead might bring the customers to the Stalwart Pelican Tavern, but the bright smile and warm nature of the place's server keeps them there. Always pleasant and polite, Caltreen has a keen interest in all facets of gizmos and technology. Niece to the talented Gnome Gadgeteer Wurbble, she turned down a chance to work in his famed Warehouse due to her debt of gratitude to Hurloff. What a doll!
.PRINCESS KRUZETTE.
Blushing Bride
Kidnapped by the brutal and powerful (and quite possibly nearsighted) Dragon Rufonax, the Goblin Princess Kruzette was heroically rescued by the valiant Sir Chadworth, who, by Kingdom Law, was obligated the take the...uh...fair(?) Princess' green hand in marriage after the noble deed. Unknowing of her unique heritage before his thrilling rescue, the goodly Knight is most certainly not looking forward to his honeymoon...
