			*'''Malexia Althis, Triarch of Dolphins''' is one of the three rulers of the Buttonwood Triarchy. A powerful sorcery who understands the esoteric geometry of Tehom, Althis is an old man who is full of regrets, enemies, and bitterness. He wishes to retire, but does not trust any of his potential replacements as the magical Triarch. And thus, he holds on, carefully watching his inferiors while also violently defending all sorcerous interests in Buttonwood.
	*'''Cloudmaker''' is one of the greatest masters of sacritech on Tehom. Using his unsurpassed abilities, he has created Kachlex City, a floating battlestation that Cloudmaker uses for both piracy and mercenary activity.		*'''Cloudmaker''' is one of the greatest masters of sacritech on Tehom.

	*'''Gemdah the Assessor''' is the sole proprietor of Clarified Harvest Ventures, a company that specializes is assessing economic risk and calculating the costs and profits associated with exploiting various resources. On Tehom, such a position is less like an actuary and more like a freelance East India Company: for the right price, Gemdah's corporation will acquire trading and resource rights by any means necessary.		*'''Gemdah the Assessor''' is the sole proprietor of Clarified Harvest Ventures, a company that specializes is assessing economic risk and calculating the costs and profits associated with exploiting various resources.

	*'''Lord General Risha Thaime''' is a gigantic Archon who violently took control of Deltaport several years ago, renaming it Thaimbase.

	*'''Marcus Steelcrow''' is the entrepreneurial Archon in charge of the Caliban Arcology, a massive, high stake / high reward mining operation and attached city. A normal child to a Lineage family, he returned to the Few after developing the Steelcrow Armor system. After a brief but illustrious career in the military, he went into the private sector and convinced investors to fund the creation of the Arcology. His colleagues have become the Council of the Reef, the lords of the Arcology.		*'''Marcus Steelcrow''' is the entrepreneurial Archon in charge of the Caliban Arcology, a massive, high stake / high reward mining operation and attached city.

			*'''Silus, Triarch Visible''' is one of the three rulers of the Buttonwood Triarchy. He is relatively new to this level of politics, having spent most of his career as a trustee for the Institute, the main scientific research university and facility in the Triarchy. He is a master inventor, and he is currently busying himself with attempts to develop the infrastructure of Buttonwood.
	*'''Ten Trial Orrin''' is an auxilliary mercenary who weilds the First Gun, an ancient weapon that has gained power with its reputation. He is cold, never breaks a contract, and specializes in killing Archons in fair combat. He is known for his encyclopedic database on the combat abilities of the Few, current and historical.		*'''Ten Trial Orrin''' is an auxilliary mercenary who weilds the First Gun, an ancient weapon that has gained power with its reputation.

	*'''Thomas the Sage'''. Extremely powerful wizard who was on the Stormward Council. When the Shattering began, he created Calmport as place of refuge, especially for the Many. He recruited several members of the Few to help defend the settlement in secret, so that the Many could go about their lives without worrying about the Few and their wars. He specialized in esoteric rituals that changed the face of Tehom. This was quite literal when he rose Aqua Mesa from the sea.		*'''Thomas the Sage'''.

	*'''Uncle Vulture''' is a reclusive mystic that lives within the ruins of the Fallen Horn (originally known as High Spire), one of the cosmopoli that destroyed itself in the war that created the Dundainian Anarchy. Draped in vulture imagery and symbolism, Uncle Vulture can sense destruction and death, and his pursuits are less about the politics of Tehom and more its mystical landscape. His intentions are often inscrutable.		*'''Uncle Vulture''' is a reclusive mystic that lives within the ruins of the Fallen Horn (originally known as High Spire), one of the cosmopoli that destroyed itself in the war that created the Dundainian Anarchy.

			*'''Vilcar, the Blooded Triarch''' is one of the three rulers of the Buttonwood Triarchy. A mature women at the height of her power, her family produces legacies at an impressive rate. A conservative by reflex, her primary concern at the moment is Thaimbase.

 This campaign follows the events of the Northern Set.  Within the last year, three more cosmopoli (Tortuga, Sapphopolis, and AboveBoard City) have joined the Kairos Covenant.  A major success, this potentially puts them in a dominant position in the region over the independent states, the venerable Beacon, and the violent Thaimbase.
