Endless Expanse
Murkfin - The Hunter Shark
The cove is quiet, the tide is slack, and something beneath the boat has just learned the sound of your oars.
Odalys Hollowell - Mediator of The Sprawl
In a market with no walls and no single authority, a quarrel has nowhere to go but the crowd. Odalys Hollowell sits down on a low stool, pours two cups of water, and asks everyone to wait until they are empty. Most disputes in The Sprawl are settled before the second refill.
Quaygnaw - The Wererat
Every sack leaves the ship full. Somewhere between the pier and the cart, something with patient teeth takes its share.
Grenna Copperkeg - Proprietor of The Last Stop
Grenna Copperkeg keeps The Last Stop, the half-ship, half-caravanserai inn where the camel riders and ship crews of Realms End share one bar and one price. She pours the Bluecactus Ale, keeps the peace at every table, and seems to miss nothing said in her house.
Thirsthound - The Death Dog
The sea is a day away and your waterskin is empty. Don't run. Something with two heads is counting on it.
Kaspian Redtide - Harbor Pilot of Realms End
Captains reaching Realms End wait at the harbor mouth for Kaspian Redtide. The half-elf pilot climbs the lighthouse stair each dawn to read the water, then rows out to walk every ship in to the wooden piers, and nobody ever had to give him a title for it.
Ilvari Faelmoor - Scholar of Realms End
Ilvari Faelmoor, a Veridyan elf scholar, keeps a lamp lit at Realms End's small library, where caravan sages and visiting wizards trade knowledge and expeditions into the desert's ruins and stranger phenomena take shape.
Orrin Pellwick - Go-Between of Smuggler's Bay
Orrin Pellwick is a halfling go-between who brokers the quiet bargains of Realms End. He puts every handshake on paper, tears the page in two, and keeps Smuggler's Bay's tolerated trade honest enough that everyone can keep looking the other way.
Shardgaze - The Glass Basilisk
A ribbon of glass across the dunes is not a wonder. It is a trail, and the other end of it is looking back.
Hushmaw - The Sandwyrm
The dunes stop humming. Then you notice the camels have stopped walking too.
Thirsk - The Mirage Mephit
The water is right there, just past the next dune. And the next. And the next.
Marisol Kessen - Proprietor of the Sandshadow Grotto
Marisol “Grotto” Kessen keeps the cool tunnels beneath Sandwatch humming with quiet bargains. A gnome fixer and proprietor of the Sandshadow Grotto, she brokers the deals nobody says aloud and shelters those who need a cool place to wait out the summer.
