Major Characters

Ridder

A Leferran knight-errant, loyal to the lord Malto, and honorable to a fault, Ridder seeks to eliminate a great evil brewing in the realm and to serve his master, Muschio.

Timotei Bessingschauwer

A headstrong warrior with a thirst for destroying evil, Timotei possess an innate ability to sense evil and its residuals.

Interestingly enough, Timotei had his own quest before meeting Ridder for the first time.

Sticks

A former halfling who got turned into a d'aaawwwable kitty halfling. Specializes in thievery.

Terva, a.k.a. "Black Fang"

Super strong and super fuzzy, Black Fang serves Ridder. Excels at hand-to-hand combat and big-ass swords.

Grek

Resourceful, inventive, and cranky, Grek serves as the Q of Ridder's band, creating new items and weapons while repairing and improving armor. Does not have the same charm as Desmond Llewellyn, though.

Iesgip

A.K.A. Python, Iesgip is a hunter-gatherer, providing food and herbs for Ridder's merry men (and women). She is known for engaging in some tactical espionage action. Also has an amazing set of abs.

Nakraska

A bro of the nth degree and just as laid back, Nakraska is a carpenter, making much needed furniture for Ridder's group.

That's it.

"Mad" Petal

Petal joined up with Ridder to seek her fortune doing what she likes best: studying ancient Elven technology and metallurgy. Often works with Grek, and hijinks often ensue. The "Mad" part is one of those unfortunate nicknames you get in high school. Elven high school.

T'lear

Tough as nails and just as stoic, T'lear is a weathered soldier of the bugfolk, serving Ridder in aiding his cause. Specializes in blunt weapons.

Ritari

The Leferran mother of Ridder. Very warm to others and deeply caring about her son. Currently divorced.
