==NPCs and their groupings==
===The Wolves of the Blizzard beyond Time===
Loki's snowmobile-riding gang. They run protection across the ice wastes, and steer scavengers who can pay towards places they might get lucky. And when it gets too cold, there's always Surtr's Forge.

'''Fenrir''' - Loki's second.

'''Hel''' -- Loki's other second. She drives a big heavy custom bike, practically a half-track, and pulls the gang's fuel bowser.

'''Völva''' (Witch) - Doesn't have the same sense of humour as the rest of the gang. With child, likely Loki's.

'''Flosi (deceased)''' - Jumped Ylva one morning, after closing, maybe at Been’s order (they used to be as tight). He took her eye, scarred her face up bad. She got better, or better enough to pay him back tenfold, and kept his blade. He didn’t have the friends to do anything about it, so he ran, and now he runs with Loki. Betrayed the gang under unclear circumstances - left dead in the snow by Loki.

'''Agneta''' - Laughed at Loki once, and got away light.

'''Styrmir''' - Has a condition that requires medicine. Carved the moustache on Loki's wolfhead. Was repaid with pain. Crippled on the night of no moon

'''Ketil Goatbeard'''

'''Kalla Stretch-Neck''' - Someone, somewhere, tried to hang this one. It didn't take.

'''Thorstein Black (deceased)''' - killed in the forest, on the night of no moon, by creatures with eyes of blue fire.

'''Elli''' - badly injured on the night of no moon

'''Narfi''' - survived the night of no moon without injury, surprisingly. Not much of a fighter.

'''Randúlf''' - whose easy charm masks a mind like cold clockwork.

===Ylva's crew and regulars===
'''Bucket''' - Bouncer. Fat and friendly and doesn't have a bad word for anyone, but he'll stomp your face if you hassle anyone. 

'''Helga''' - handles the performers. She keeps to herself, doesn't smile much. 

'''Jinders''' - An old-timer, always laughing and joking. Picks up weird crap for props, and also picks up strays.
 
'''Bits''' and '''Jenga''' - the stars of the show, and a package deal.

Half a dozen or so other helpers, choristers, dancers, musicians - right now there's '''Babbers''', '''Oula''', '''Seven''' and '''Mill''' performing, and '''Old Lars''' pouring booze and stoking the fires. One of the others is '''Zeds''' -  tall, intimidating, with a nose that's been broken more than once. Doesn't talk much. Does repairs and general carrying and fetching, 

'''Camo''' - a welcome guest. He mostly keeps to himself without being unfriendly, and he's helped defuse potential situations more than once. 

'''Ba''' - An attention hog, she's loud, and the fucking drama.
 
'''Rolf''' - is pushing on "investing" and "expansion". May be hot for Ylva, but flirts with everyone.

'''Gams''' - helped get the place up and going, and see off Bumpers. Never pays. 

'''Been''' - has crazy ideas about steam power and piped hot water and shit. He's mostly been quiet since '''Flosi''' left town, and since Ylva had a serious talk with him about how he should stop fucking digging fucking holes to divert the water or maybe he'd dig too deep a hole and wouldn't find his way out of it. Probably hasn't given up though.

===Plower’s crew===
What's left of the roads are kept clear by Plower and his crew of crazy fuckers who drive these ancient snow-clearing machines, chopping up trees that fall across the roads, and get all the food, drink, and heat at any settlement that doesn't want to end up cut off, never to be heard from again.

A road is any stretch of frozen ground with less than a foot of snow on it, or any river or lake with more than a foot of ice. If Plower's crew says you can drive there, you can drive there. Anywhere else? You're taking your chances.

'''Plower''' - in charge.

'''Dog’s Head''' - had a little dalliance with Loki some time back. There was still some feeling on her part, but Loki beat that out of her.

'''Minko''' - a scrawny scraggly-bearded old coot who talks about snow a lot. No relation to the '''Minko''' who owns Crash/burn in Splitsville, as far as anyone knows.

===Surtr's crew===
'''Surtr''' - in charge.

'''Morth''' - a drunk. Used to be part of '''Mother Superior''''s crew, before they split. Tells the story of finding '''Skuld''' to anyone who'll listen.

'''Kiartan Wood-leg''' - bad-tempered. Has a prosthetic leg.

'''Urdakott''' - tall, thin enforcer, feral beneath a civil mask.

'''Halfdan the Even-Handed''' - keeps things smooth in the Buzzard Market.

===Sjöfn's crew===
Performers, whores and staff, though it can be hard to tell one from another.

'''Sjöfn''' - in charge. Used to work for Ylva, but kicked out for whoring. Runs that new place in Forge, giving the metalworkers somewhere to relax at the end of a hard shift.

'''Ulf Fishingpole''' Dances. Well named.

'''Snowhands''' - attends to the baths.

'''Thorolf''' - occasional help, mostly manual.

'''Moothskegg'''  - occasional help, mostly manual.

'''Rodi''' - muscle. A tall, wiry woman, blonde and broad shouldered, she looks a bit like Skuld.

'''Kniv''' - muscle. A stout man with bloodshot eyes and wild hair just barely kept in check by a full set of silvery hair clips.

'''Einar Beardless''' - muscle of sorts. Bald, beardless, soft-spoken, he's good at talking people down.

===Mother Superior´s crew===
Found '''Skuld''' in the woods; mostly gone or split up now.

'''Superior''' - tough as old boots, but something '''Skuld''' told her scared her.

===Thief Eyes’ crew===
Woodsmen, that crazy, creepy bunch who harvest timber and sometimes never come back?

===Ravens===
Those damn slim kids with their oddly sleek feather coats, daring the winds to either skim along the icy ground or even take off of it... Sure they can be run down, but they turn erratically. And killing one will make everyone pissed at you. Everyone needs quick messengers willing to take risks and go fast.

===Others===
'''Brokkr'''
Works on the Wolves' snowmobiles. Friendly with '''Loki'''. He does good work and he likes being paid in bits and pieces, so he doesn't need to go out scavenging for himself. Lives in '''Logger's Town'''.

'''Golem'''
Weaponsmith - a fixer of broken guns, and maker of bullets. Supplies '''Skuld''' with custom ammo for her rifle. Lives and works in '''Forge'''.

'''Flatnose'''
A purveyor of finest liqueurs - or at least of booze that likely won't kill you straight off. Operated out of the back of the markethall in '''Forge''' up until a few weeks ago - now relocated to Logger Town, under Ylva's patronage. The cause of the disagreement between Ylva and Surtr.

'''The Muckers''' 
Two, previously three brothers (probably; they're lumpy and filthy enough it's hard to tell) who make swill that's of a slightly better quality than the swill everyone else makes. If you mix it right it could almost pass for drinkable, but it's nowhere near the quality of Flatnose's brew. Ylva killed Hen, the middle child.

'''Barker''' – the cloeset thing Loggertown has to a doctor. Barker lives in a fortified trailer with an added tent used for medical operations and drug-cooking. Iggy Pop-thin and of indeterminate gender, Barker is always wrapped in at least three layers of cloaks or ponchos, their face nigh-permanently hidden by a jury-rigged gas mask. Way too cheerful about their work, which tends to deter prospective clients.
