The Innkeeper: This kind, elderly individual is Trix’s only trusted friend and a vital personal contact (Bond). They run a modest tavern or inn, likely near the Wet Quarter, and once covered for Trix when he was caught stealing, earning his loyalty. The Innkeeper is a safe person for the party to hide or seek counsel from when things get rough.
Spike: A small-time criminal and local fence easily identified by his gold tooth. He was last seen in a Wet Quarter alley and is now absolutely frantic and hunting Trix, having lost the Duke’s letters. He is terrified of the consequences and the Duke’s agents and is personally invested in recovering his lost goods.
Spike’s Thugs: Two large, burly enforcers who accompanied Spike to the meeting. They are simple muscle following Spike’s orders and showed a particular interest in information about the Shattered Crown. They are currently searching the docks and alleys.
The Captain & The Brute: These are the Duke’s professional agents. The Captain is likely the competent, relentless tracker, while the Brute is the heavy muscle. They were dispatched to meet Spike and are now actively searching the docks for the stolen letters, posing a high and immediate threat to the party.
Master Mage Soron: The primary antagonist of the entire plot. He is a powerful wizard who has sealed himself inside the Ivory Tower. His goal is to use the dangerous artifact, the Shattered Crown, before the next full moon, an action that threatens to engulf the entire district in his powerful spell.
The Duke: A noble or authority figure in Silverhaven and the original owner of the stolen letters. He is trying to secretly prevent Soron’s plan and recover the Shattered Crown, suggesting he has a vested interest in the artifact’s power or safety.
Lyra: The Duke’s primary, trusted agent. She was the intended recipient of the letters and is the one actively tasked with stopping Soron and recovering the Shattered Crown. She is likely a high-ranking operative who may become an ally or a rival to the party.
