Cutefinder: Non-Player Characters

As is common in tabletop campaigns, the story is not driven by the players alone; there exist quite many people in Kova with a deal of influence or personal connection to the PCs, and as the players and GM are only human, it is worth cataloguing common knowledge for them.

Guildmembers

Members of the guildhalls of Kova, filed into their respective heraldry.

Guildhall Drakhan

Gamello

Drakhan's nihilistic guildmaster. It would be an understatement to say he's a jerk.

Alistra

Sister to Algister, as much as she can be one according to Gamello. Defected to Drakhan and serves as a personal aide.

Guildhall Mogaru

Judicator Thran Kearney

Elf. Technically his name is Arrathan, but who cares. Tried to pull Runica, Wren and Dacquoise aside before their outing to Mosulk, got stopped by Algister. Later posed as one of Drakhan's Judicators on a mission. Got skewered—twice—for it, and he's lucky to be alive. Suspicious of most of the group, but that's okay, everyone has reason to be suspicious of him too.

Judicator Juna

Elf and coworker of Thran. While officially in Mogaru's employ, she posed as one of Drakhan's judicators with him, and is now stuck waiting for a Raise Dead for her trouble.

Guildhall Ravager

Kodai

The guildmaster of Ravager and commander of the Ravager Guard, he is a calm and disciplined half-orc with the controversial viewpoint of considering the Guild independent from the Imperials, as well as the opinion that the Guild and Kova's natives should band together and bring the old war to Krava's doorstep.

Archaeological Society

The Archaeological Society's leader, Algister

Though a separate group, the archaeological society finds a lot of interaction with the guild's faculty, and tends to try their patience as well. They carry a clear physical distinction from the normal folk by wearing coats with rune-inscribed lining, in a language that resists magical comprehension.

Algister

The senile, possibly prescient old man that leads the Archaeological Society.

Procyon (alias: Norg)

Archaeological Society member. Gives out valuable relics like candy. Has an artefact that obscures memories of his name, which combined with his style of information gathering has led to his rather ambitious choice of alias.

Asterion

Archaeological Society member. Not a doctor. Do not agree to let him operate on you.

Allele Luxa

Aide to Algister. Remarkably sane given who she has to put up with. Went on a picnic with Dacquoise Tart once.

Cyladro (alias: Cixyron)

Effectively the muscle of the Archaeological Society, and much like Procyon has a particularly fiendish alias. Ironically, despite the choice in aliases, the two don't show much affection for each other. On top of the usual rune-inscribed coat, he wears a high-tech helmet and packs a big gun.

Other Affiliations

Kova is a diverse and busy nation, and by extension many allegiances go beyond the guild, with various noble houses, mercenary and trade groups, as well as external factions vying for Kova's wealth and prosperity all at once if they're not simply trying to survive.

House Argensolde

A high-class Imperial merchant family in the port town Mosulk that operates the Argensolde Trading Company and various... less legal operations.

Raine Argensolde (maiden name: Raine Chancer)

Mother to Runica Argensolde and wife to Theodore Argensolde. Up until the two elves' marriage, her career was a sellsword, duelist and bodyguard; with Mosulk's political climate, she still finds time and opportunity to practice the latter two, along with providing fencing lessons as a hobby. Currently consciousness-impaired.

Theodore Argensolde

Father to Runica Argensolde, husband of Raine Argensolde and current leader of the Argensolde Trading Company. While ostensibly a legitimate business, Kova's plentiful supply of powerful artefacts and the guild's restrictions on their export have led to the formation of a small underground empire specialising in trade of these dangerous luxuries, shipping them across Golarion through trade routes in Casmaron and Tian-Xia. Currently sleeping through the hubris of getting mentally dominated by an artefact.

Istudur

Servant to House Argensolde. Assists in matters of "trade". Is currently laying low in the Capitol seeing as how the Judicators were interested in him enough to ransack his house.

Aramara

Maid of House Argensolde and Runica's personal nanny/future lady-in-waiting. Strongheaded, hot-tempered and downright energetic enough for the two of them.

The Innsmouth

Not all that works within Kova is from the modern day. Ancient machinations have awoken in times recent and distant, as have survivors of the crash.

Gaolor

Artificial intelligence governing the underwater ruins of the Crossings. It is designed to guard what few dangerous artefacts remain in its ownership and does not like people snooping around as a result.

Scribe

An artificial intelligence—or I-Core, according to CorFor member Lucifer—found on the way to Mosulk. Originally designed to maintain data storage for manipulator diagrams, it has since lost access to much of its archives and has been relegated to being Dacquoise's sun buddy.

Fourth Tower of Artonelico (nickname: Forth)

The broadcasting system, Song Magic provider and SH server of the tower emulator within the Innsmouth. The crash caused a factory reset of the main systems (though the SH server was miraculously safe), which allowed Mule to claim administrative privileges to the whole ship and declare the tower emulator the aforementioned name. The sentient component of the system is a Reyvateil in the same vein as the β-6Ds of old, but until Mule undergoes the necessary Install procedures to gain full control, Forth is essentially the interim administrator of the tower—and thus the tower is an extension of her—at this point in time.

CorFor

Alien corgis.

Lucifer

Trained alchemist. The only one who escaped when the team was captured, and later posted a mission at the guild to help look for a 'lost hellhound'.

David

Team engineer. That's... all we know about him at present.
