Bludstein NPCs

The following is a list of some of the more influential NPCs in Budstein.

In the court of Lady Alberta:

Lady Alberta Isenberg, Baroness of Bludstein: the eldest daughter of a house that has suffered much misfortune in recent years, the Lady Alberta hopes to turn her family's fortunes around by staking a claim the the ancient Bludstein Keep and the surrounding lands. Lady Alberta relies on a core group of loyal advisers, including her consort Tankred, but it is well-known that she is a daunting force of her own, having overseen her family's businesses in Traft for many years.

Lodevik Isenberg, younger brother of Lady Alberta and mercenary captain: Lodevik made his fortune in the Greyhawk Wars, where it is rumoured that his mercenary company, the Iron Mountain Raiders, fought for employers on both side of the conflict. He has brought a score of his veterans with him to Bludstein, along with twice as many young sellswords eagre to make their fortune fighting for House Isenberg.

Tankred: the consort of Lady Alberta and father of her children. Coming from a minor family, Tankred earned fame as a bard and is rumoured to have advertured in distant lands during his youth. Now he dabbles in his wife's businesses and various recreational pursuits. He is popular with the commoners of Bludstein, but most of the rest of his wife's household are dismissive of him and his value to the expedition.

Sarula Celannil: High elf scholar, sorceress, and close advisor to Lady Alberta. Sarula has devoted much of her adult life in study of human history, and is fascinated at the rapid changes in human society. She has come as a friend of Lady Alberta, but is also curious about some tales of this region that were passed down from her grandmother.

Armgart Sargeant at arms of the household troops of Lady Alberta. He is a veteran pikeman who served in the Auszug (standing army) of Perrenland for many years before taking employment with House Isenberg. He commands a force of about 20 men-at-arms and the citizen militia that all of the free men and women in Bludstein must serve in. He is also technically in command of the mercenaries, but in reality they listen only to Lodevik.
