Jorran Kal is a dark-haired man of non-descript appearance. Unlike the other powerful townsmen, he dresses in a humble style and seldom makes public appearances.
Jorran Kal keeps to himself, so almost none of the population has heard of him. However, he controls a good share of the town guard, and in times of peace, he has a lot of influence over taxation and other monetary decisions in town meetings116plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigAppeared or occurred in:

Description
A man in his forties, tall, at least while seated, who had a full head of graying hair. He was of unspectacular appearance, but his voice made up for it. Townsman Silnquost was as tall as Ziedon, an unusual thing in Huerten. Like most townsmen, he was equipped with an ornate dagger that bore the insignia of his guild on its hilt. He also wore a sword, and, though it was difficult to tell through the elaborate clothing, there might have been a little extra …'s men.122plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigAppeared or occurred in:

“You called me.”
Ziedon rolled over in his bed, ignoring the dream.
“You called me. Why?”
He was tired. How much sleep could he have gotten? Three hours? Four?
“You called me. Why?”
Ziedon opened his eyes a crack. The sun had risen only recently, and it was cold. The bird was perched on the highest shelf above the desk, staring at him with interest. It was also squawking annoyingly. Kal's wife Marigold is searching desperately for a healer with expertise in combating poisons, in order to restore her husbands good health.
Kal's personal fortune derives from his ownership of silver and gold smithies as well a jewelry craftshop.

Half a mile from the perimeter of Maelbourg, Sahlman turned to Forgolon. “This is dangerous work. We must talk now. I tell you, what I want is for my friends to be free and not work for bad men. This is all I want. You tell me now. Who is lord of Maelbourg now? Who put my friends in jail? Why they in jail?

Late in the night, Ziedon was woken by a rap on his shutters. Thinking it was the wind, he dozed off, but the fourth time it happened, he got up and separated them. The bird stumbled a bit and landed on the outside window sill, peering in. A moment later, there was a knock on his door.,122plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigReferenced in:

Kreemon woke up hurting all over. He lifted himself slowly, only realizing he was lying on a table top when his motion unbalanced the makeshift stretcher, twisting it out of Ziedon's sore and tired hands, and sending it crashing to the ground. Kreemon rolled a couple times on the ground before colliding with the filthy wall of the alley. Weak from his many wounds, he lifted himself carefully on the palms of his hands, and saw,144plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigReferenced in:

The day got worse and worse for Ziedon. The volume of the chant became louder, until at times it was almost impossible to concentrate. It would then soften, but never as much as the last time. Ziedon felt he was running out of time to deal with this problem, and given how the last fight with the priests went, he would probably need help, and a good plan. He had just decided that, when the chanting reached a crescendo more powerful than any before it.
