Argol is a spindly, pot-bellied man in his sixties, with dark brown hair that is rapidly fading into a dingy grey. A horse riding accident in his youth broke several of his front teeth, giving him a crooked and odd-looking smile. Because of this oddity, and his profession, he has been nicknamed
Ol' butterball was a slightly chubby man in his sixties whose fleshy face made him look much fatter than he was. It didn't help that his overworked horse seemed to sink in its middle, or that his drooping eyes made every word and movement look slow and tired.
Cewethir is a medium sized man with a shaved head and deep blue eyes. His hair is actually very light brown, sun-bleached almost blond, and quite ample if he were to let it grow, but he has long since given up trying to keep the coal dust out of his hair and finds it easier to shear it off. His body is lean but muscular, and his position as guildmaster has not softened the strength he built in the mines.
Ziedon was announced, and Velirra arrived, dressed in an efficient gown whose simplicity clashed with the gaudy colors of the room. She was tall enough that, with her shoes, she saw eye to eye with Ziedon, and her shoulder-length hair enveloped a round, healthy and surprisingly young face. She could not have been older than twenty-five. That youthful face currently wore a look of disappointment.
Calen Finterher is a medium sized man with a barrel chest and short but stout limbs. He wears his light brown hair at moderate length and is quite handsome (and more than a little proud at his good features).
His voice is little more than a harsh whisper. While he was working his way up the ranks, he was kicked in the throat by an ornery cow. While he was pleased that no disfiguring scar resulted, the kick did alter his voice. This leads him to be a private man, an…
The minstrel was tall and well-built. He had a developed moustache, although not so developed as Sahlman's, and the beginnings of a beard. The man wore baggy pants, and a loose vest. There were numerous places where he could have been hiding a small dagger or knife, and
This could afford to be a little longer, for such an important NPC...
Description
A short, stocky man with a balding head of curly, fiery red hair entered the room. His dull blue robes matched his eyes, and the sheath of a short sword hung from his waist.
Herelg is a man of moderate height and lean frame. His hair is black but sparse and largely confined to the sides of his head. His right ear is misshapen (a deformity from birth) and he has a scar that runs over the left eye from a fencing mishap in his youth. While the eye still works, its color changed and gained a permanent cloudy red coloration that some find unnerving.
Hewlard has little military power, but he is a charismatic man, and his abilities as an orator made him better known to the people during the conflict between Galgewe and Silnquost. He was quite effective in convincing
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.
Biography
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 meetings
The Knights of Peaceplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Knights of Peace
Description
Jerrakken describes the Knights of Peace as “a group of local self-armed guildless men who try to put down any upstart.” He directs Ziedon to the poor quarter. “Of three leaders, who work in a partnership, one can be easily found. He lives in the third house on the left along the street with two smithies at its head. You must say, 'peace in
Guildmaster Age Lubenplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGuildmaster Age Luben
Description
Age Luben is about average height, but appears a good deal shorter because of a perpetual stoop and the beginnings of a slight hunch. This is an occupational hazard common to cobblers, due to their need to spend a large part of the day nearly bent double. The hair on the crown of his head is all but gone, leaving only a short salt and pepper stubble upon the edges of his head. His eyes are dark brown and watery. He tends to blink excessively in bright light.
Makierrei is a short man, about five two, potbellied and of medium build. His arms hang out a bit, as if he were a much heavier man than he actually is. He is balding and wears a moustache, which parallels heavy eyebrows. Almost comical when described, he is disappointingly ordinary in person.
Miscem was a stout man with thick legs and curly silver hair prior to his death. Behind his back, he was nicknamed “the Goat” during his youth due to his hairy limbs and pronounced appetite.
Biography
Aso Miscem was guildmaster of the shepherds guild. Although wool is one of the primary industries of
Reden Orfort is a man of slightly above average height, with dark brown hair. While not fat, he appears soft, and tires easily. He is prone to wearing finery of an almost ridiculous style and expense, and keeps an entire team of seamstresses at his beck and call. He has not appeared in the turns.
Kraub Raiborder is taller than most. His body is skeletally thin, and he is prone to poor health and ill humors. His hair is black and he has lost several teeth in one of his bouts of disease, leaving him with a gaptoothed visage. He tries very hard not to smile or otherwise show his teeth as a result.
Guildmaster Gal Silnquostplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGuildmaster Gal Silnquost
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 …
He was at least seven feet tall, and, though his legs were like sticks, the girth of his chest and shoulders showed that he must have been quite imposing in his day. Even now, the fifty-year-old giant looked like he could take on two or three younger men in a fight, with or without the long sword sheathed at his waist. His eyes and mouth were wrinkled, not in the way of excessive smiling, but not so much the opposite either, and his head was bald except for a rim …
Some time after Townsman Ulan is kicked out of Maelbourg by Galgewe, Ulan's party runs into Ardith and the others. While Ulan is pleading with them for help, another group comes in pursuit. Ulan flees, and some of his soldiers stay behind. While the two groups of soldiers argue,
Worsen is tall and gaunt. He shaves his pate bald to hide his awkwardly thinning hair, and has dark grey eyes. He has a deep scar on his neck and chest due to an old accident at the forge. Generally, he keeps it covered up. Despite a somewhat unusual appearance, his sonorous voice and friendly manner have enamored him to many of the common people of

The Madplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Mad
Description
In the year 577, the Mad are people exiled from civilization, due to their unusual, and sometimes dangerous, behavior. They spend a lot of time in trances or asleep, though there are periods of lucidity, and they occasionally speak in riddles. These riddles are considered by many to be prophesy, and some seek out the Mad in order to learn of their own futures or pasts.
This is how I used to keep track of NPCs! It's a huge list of every character who appeared through turn 91, with the turns they appeared in. Numbers in are turns where the person was named, but doesn't actually appear. Current and former player characters have their names in
The Zioth campaign world came into existence some time in 1994, a few months after I first got a hold of the Second Edition Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. It began as a mathematical exercise. I named five moons, gave them lunar cycles, and tried to figure out how often they would all be new at once. Having forgotten how to calculate the lowest common multiple, it took me a long time, but I eventually worked out that a moonless night would occur o…

The Coming of the Ziothplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Coming of the Zioth
Welcome to a world that has nineteen years left to live. In nineteen years, on the one thousand twentieth year of the Zioth, all five moons will leave the sky for a night, and the world will be destroyed and rebuilt. But who can believe such stories in a world at its prime? Everything is normal. The strange creatures of legend are nowhere to be seen, and magic? A story to put children to sleep.

Yes, this is simple and ugly, but it's a start!. I plan to make it prettier, and add time elements from game history. I also plan to add in specific important events from the turns.
