| − | Fronk Izain, a cousin or second cousin or something like that, it's not really clear. Fronk is from the old country (the Eastern Kingdoms) and we use to import and sell fire arms together. Now he runs a "respectable" business in Derelictus trading things with delvers in exchange for supplies.

| − | Brakesh, an escaped gnoll gladiator that I use to work with. We had a falling out over a job. It wasn't any one thing, but the culmination of lots of small disagreements that came to a head when the Aelfir paid us in fake coins and I missed it. Brakesh blamed me and thought I should pay him his half from money I didn't have. Things escalated, insults were exchanged, weapons were drawn, and things ended in blood. We have given each other a wide berth since.

| |
| − | This bridge was constructed as part of the Vermissian network, stretching over a misty canyon on unknown depth. The rail lines are incomplete and sheets of rusty metal hang loose in certain points and an Incarnadine sect have taken up residence on the western side, collecting tolls and trading at booths around and along the bridge. This of course has led to tension with the Vermissian Sages that were studying the abandoned bridge works there on the eastern side, including a large relay or grounding station that grounds out the energies of the heart. The Vermissian Sages have a small bar there and will activate the grounding terminals for delvers that have something of interest to them.

| |
| − | *The Bridgekeeper is a mysterious figure that appears when the mists in the chasm below rise up and engulf the bridge. Wise delvers seek shelter when the Bridgekeeper is on the prowl. When the Bridgekeeper meets a traveler on his bridge, he asks three questions and he will attempt to cast any that can't or won't answer correctly from the bridge. Very few that fail have made it back to solid land instead of being cast into the mist. However, if the questions are all answered correctly then the traveler may ask the Bridgekeeper a question of their own and he will answer. His answers are always true and correct, though like anything learned in the heart they are not always to be trusted.

| |
| − | There was the time that asshole Aelfir general hired us to venture into Labyrinth with that a wagon full of dire beavers that he hoped would get infected with the Labryrinth curse and then be employed by military in the construction of fortified positions. A mad plan, but the pay seemed good for just riding a wagon to a landmark and camping out for a few days and then riding back. That was before the first dire beaver got loose and everything started to go to hell. We barely escaped those cursed burrows two weeks later. We told the general to go retrieve his fortification building beavers himself if you could make it past the water traps and dead falls. The only thing we got out of it was the upfront payment and the knowledge that a dire beaver can take six shots to the center mass with a grackler pistol and still take a chunk out of your leg.

| − | No, but I stabbed one once. To be fair, this was Sister Smoke of the Church of the Holy Gun and it was during an arms deal gone wrong back before I became a witch and she had it coming.

| − | And when the visions cleared I could feel my heart beating with the rhythm of something beyond mortal understanding. And each night I have the vision of those cowards being consumed, trying to flee, and the thousands more like them in the world, waiting for their journey into the woods. And I know that one forest is not enough.
