Vurrok - The Worg
He won't howl. Howling is for country where sound carries. He'll walk up close and make you an offer.
Glass Viper - The Giant Poisonous Snake
The ash out here swallows every sound. So when you hear one thin chime of glass, you have already stepped too close.
Voskarr the Work-Fed - The Salamander
The vent breathes when the work is good. When it isn't, something climbs out of it.
Tharrek the Unproven - The Sword Wraith Commander
It isn't hunting you. It's waiting for a verdict - and it will not let you walk away without giving one.
Anvilbrow - The Triceratops
You will hear it grazing a mile off. Turn the wagons then, not when you can see the frill.
Sigra Truecut - Keeper of Ash'rift's Forge-Records
In a settlement that measures worth by what you've done, dwarf archivist Sigra Truecut keeps Ash'rift's oldest forge-records by cutting every tablet herself. She'll tell you exactly what the stone says about the Ashen Crown, and exactly where the stone goes quiet.
Zerai Slagwright - Obsidian Carver of Ash'rift
Ash'rift's ancestor tablets are inscribed by a priest, but they are poured, ground and made by Zerai Slagwright. The tiefling carver behind the settlement's obsidian and slagglass has put a keepsake in almost every grieving household in town.
Zurek Grale - Caravan Master of Ash'rift
Ash'rift sends out few caravans, and every one of them comes home. Zurek Grale is the half-orc road-master who makes that true -- hauling steel and slagglass out across the Ashen Plains, and water, timber and grain back in, past every mirage the fissures can offer him.
Ushka Slagmend - Forge-Warden of Ash'rift
At the farthest ritual forge-camp on the upper Ashen Plains, orc forge-warden Ushka Slagmend keeps the last fire between Ash'rift and the grey - mending caravan steel, feeding strangers, and judging everyone by what they carry back through the ash.
Nadarra Ashvow - Forge-Priest of Ash'rift
Ash'rift remembers its dead by name, cut into molten stone that glows for one night a year. Nadarra Ashvow is the forge-priest who cuts them -- and who refuses to carve a single name she cannot prove is the right one.
Carrionwing - The Giant Vulture
She isn't waiting for you to die anymore. She's decided to help.
Thistlewick - The Boggle
It used to just hide your shoes. Now it wears your mother's face.
