An image of a young adult woman with blonde hair laughing and motioning to herself. She is wearing a duelist's half-cape with a sword sheathed on one hip and a dagger on the other. She is dressed in a light cotton blouse with leathered bodice and a metallic spaulder on her right shoulder. She is also wearing leather breeches and knee-high leather boots.
She looks like a garrulous swordswoman.
Hail Heroes!
Much thanks to @joestrela.bsky.social for his glorious work on Isabet Fleethaven of the Quick-Wit Shadowsails! Careful if she tells you a story, as she's probably picking your pocket with a smile! And if you catch her out, well, those blades aren't just for show!

A short, stocky man in merchant finery showcasing Vardare's famed Black Dragon Ale from the Wakare Brewery. It has been specially bottled in an alchemical decanter as personal branding.
The man has an average build, but notably larger-than-expected hands and feet; instead of a beard, he has braided dreads looped forward and tied into an ascot. He wears an early medieval cap and looks quite happy with his offered wares and style.
Behind him, lounging, is his faithful pack donkey. It is named Associates and is a very good boy.
Hail Heroes!

An elderly man with burn scars on the side of his face holds a stoic stance, wearing deep brown robes with a quilted cloth gambeson over his chest. A religious censer is hooked to his waist as he looks into the distance with a tired calm that only comes with age and regret.
Hail Heroes!
Speak softly and listen well, as the sermon of Thaddeus Ombrefeu, Priest-Emissary of Holy Paran approaches! Easygoing and humble, he holds terrible power inside his very soul.
Thanks to @joestrela.bsky.social for bringing this old priest to life!
