Librarian Council member
Physical Description: Naru is 5′ 10″ pale skinned Uthgardian. He has a thick accent, his smile is disarming. He dresses in the style of the librarians, an embroidered Grey robe.
Personality: He is a little short with answers, and you can tell he enjoys being clever.
A place for the mentally troubled. It has a long history of abuse, tragedy, and even rumored to be haunted.
The inn is tall for a two-story building. Its stone walls have aged from the weather. The two large metal doors open easily into a large common room. A quick look around shows an assortment of people, and all the tables and chairs are taken, save for a round table in the corner, near the hearth.
Innkeeper Baralt (Commoner 1): Owner of the tavern. He is pudgy and a big beard hangs below a smile that splits his face.

Nulthari is the name given to the mages who are a branch of the Ministry of the Arts called the Arcane Assembly. They look to gain power over life, to end suffering and disease, and conquer death. Some see this as an avenue to power, others see this as a way to stop the pain of those suffering. They also claim to be able to commune with the dead, but many believe that they are only speaking with those of the Navirim or the Between.
In the 3rd Age the Nulthari were the advisors to the Warlock King and were the chief strategists of the invasions to the South and West (The Great War). They perfected extending life and healed many diseases that the people suffered.
They also used ravaging magics to win the war leaving the world scarred.
In the 4th Age, the Nulthari are part of the Ministry of the Arts and publicly model themselves after the good parts of the Nulthari from the 3rd Age. Though in any institution power reigns and many within their ranks once again search for answers over life and death. They also seek knowledge of their ancestors’ destructive and powerful magics.
The Church is located in one of the most ornate buildings in all of Kowal, since the fall of the Greystone, the only building taller is the Duke’s Walled Tower. It is run by Archbishop Nicon Vassium, a new appointee from the head oft he church in Arnlord. He is a charismatic leader, though strict in his views and leadership. Many of the churches followers adore the new handsome leader, and attendance has almost doubled as of late.
The Church is now aligned with the Ministry of the Arts. It commands the Red Dragoons, sending them out to enforce the religious law of Uthgard.
The church was run by the Archbishop Gunderlan before the Catastrophe of the Greystone. He was a staunch advocate for the control of magic and a direct advisor to Baron Zadeku. He was badly injured during an uprising and was rarely seen in public afterwords. Many believe he perished that day or during the Catastrophe.

The wood of this inn is old and gray. Small lanterns fill the cramped but cozy hall. All tye walls, doors and shelves seem slightly off kilter, but this gives it a homey feel. A long bar along the back wall runs the length of the building. The shelves behind the bar are littered with bottles of all shapes. The rest if the walls have shelves lined with books.

Paranon was a small town of the Aradan Kingdom. It was destroyed during the Great War. Little is left save for ruined walls and overgrown roads.
The keep of Paranon was almost completely erased by the mages of Uthgard, calling down fires from the heavens to destroy their foe. Despite this ravaging magic, the area is free of most radiation.

A newer gang of thieves and mercenaries, run by Geiron. They are more violent than the Companions, and actively clash with many of the other unlawful groups of Kowal. Their base is in the Squats.
They do not call themselves the “Red Dagger”, in fact Geiron hates the moniker, referring to himself and his followers as “family”. Hewas quoted as saying “A gang will knife each other in the back, their lot is less than a bag of shite. But a family, they are bound by blood. Those are the ones who look out for each other.”
The nickname was given to them from the city guard, as they left a trail of knife wounds and stabbings as they grew in power. While Geiron dislikes the name, the other members enjoy the fear such a violent symbol creates.
