*'''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.

*'''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.

**Aqua Mesa is an unnatural land formation created by Thomas the Sage, the eventual founder of Calmport. The island has no shore; rather, the entire length of its coastline is sheer cliffs. These cliffs are no shorter than fifty feet, and can be as high as 300!. Aqua Mesa City has dug a highway down to the coast and created a small artificial harbor for ships. The lands of the Mesa are still often wild, and odd things lurk in its hills…. Aqua Mesa is independent. | **Aqua Mesa is an unnatural land formation created by Thomas the Sage, the eventual founder of Calmport.
