Mridok hiTigal (male) 

Iron Helm Clan (High Clan) 

Clan affiliation - Ksarul

Class - Warrior

Alignment –Change

Mridock has come from one of the clans interests in Salarvya and was born and raised in the clan enclave, as such he more a stranger to his own nation than a Tsloyani citizen.  Upon leaving his clan enclave he has ended up in the foreigners section of Jakalla seeking employment while waiting for his citizenship irregularity to be cleared up.  This clarification is in the form of an administrative fee that is currently out of the range of his meagre funds.

Ashane hiZhanyu (female) 

Jade Diadem Clan  (Very High Clan) 

Clan affiliation - Dlamelish

Class - Aridani Warrior

Alignment - Order

Destined due to her beauty to follow in the clans devotion of Dlamelish, Ashane chose the route of Aridani and thus has stripped herself of all the benefits that would have come from her clans high position in society.  She has escaped to the foreigner’s quarters to hide from over zealous suitors and priests wishing to induct her into the deeper mysteries of the temple, which she knows as being code for sacrifice, something she does not wish to undertake.

Qarras hiMriyen (male) 

Green Pyramid Clan (Very Low Clan)

Clan affiliation – Dlamelish

Priest of Hihayal

Alignment - Change

Qarras is as corrupt as they come, and well known for his lecherous ways.  The worship of Hihayal seemed the bettor course, and his seeking of power by the shortest route necessary failed spectacularly and he now hides in the foreigner’s quarters waiting for the fracas to die down and for him to accumulate the funds necessary to cover up his mistake, bribe in other words.

Gamalu hiArusa (male) 

Sapphire Bird Clan (Low Clan) 

Clan affiliation - Avanthe

Native of Salarvya

Magic User

Alignment - Order

Gamalu is the only real foreigner in the group, hailing from Salarvya and was on the same boat that Mridock arrived in.  Speaking very poor Tsolyani and dressed appallingly like a country bumpkin (which he is) life is difficult, finding employment even worse.

Strength (55) Average

Constitution (05) Weakling

Psychic Ability (98) Highly Psychic

Dexterity (63) Clever 

Comeliness (66) Good looking

The group have met in the foreigner’s quarters through a recruitment poster for night guards at the City of the Dead.  What easy money can be made guarding the dearly departed, after all the dead can’t hurt you?  Can they?
