Ashaa (female psychic warrior)
AL: lawful neutral
Ashaa grew up as a street kid in Raam. Because she was a strong, tall and fast, she quickly grew into the role of a
gang leader. Although she has a reputation for being difficult and not very clever, she is well liked because of
her fairness and protective nature.
Ashaa is a tall, lanky elf with dark skin, black hair and dark purple eyes. She has a surprisingly dark voice, which is
partly due to an illness she had as a child, which still affects her constitution. Nevertheless, she tries to make use of
her psychic abilities and become a psychic warrior, no matter how slow her progress is. She is training with a former jaszt whenever
she has managed to acquire enough money for a lesson.
Ashaa secretly admires gladiators. She aspires to their discipline and control and, she has to admit, she also likes their
often colourful and ostentatious attire. She does not like some of the nasty things they do, though.

Othana (female psychic warrior)
AL: lawful neutral
Othana sees herself as a soldier. She likes law and order and has an unshakeable belief in justice. She knows that most people
won't see any justice on Athas, but she will do her best. At the moment she has been given this opportunity her city, Tyr.
Othana is a woman of few words and often comes across as grumpy and not very approachable. She tries to enforce this image
to conceal that she is quite a gentle, sensitive person.
Othana has long dark hair (that is starting to show the odd gray streak) and dark gray eyes. She likes to dress in black and is
always seen with two things: her very un-Athasian looking blades and a bird-of-prey that she has nursed back to health a few years back
and that does not leave her side. For this she needed the help of a druid who she is now friends with.

Mayadra (female psionicist)
AL: lawful good
Mayadra is a leader of the Veiled Alliance. She was born with a special gift that she has
secretly developed over the years with her mentor, the psionicist Charon of Urik.
Mayadra was born to two psionicists of the Veiled Alliance. Already at birth it was
apparent that she possessed a special gift. Mayadra was born with intense dark purple eyes.
It turned out that Mayadra can easily pull psionic energy from people, even those who just have
a latent gift. It seems to work a bit like a cathexis. She does not even have to see or be
near the people.
As Mayadra is of lawful good alignment, she does not want to abuse her powers. Still, she would
like to use it to rid Athas of Sorcerermonarchs (or later Dregoth?). For this moment, she has been
preparing all her life. She is 63 now, but has still doubts and fears. The Veil is
now putting a lot of pressure upon her.

Jabeel Male mul druid/gladiator/psionicist
AL: neutral good
When Jabeel escaped from the slave pits he had, for the first time, the space to
think about what he wanted to do. He also wanted to know his place in the world.
He wandered what he was: natural or unnatural. Did he have the right to live? Was he an
abomination?
As it happened he met a druid in the tavern of a bandit village. The druid found
it interesting for a mul to ask such a question. The next day when Jabeel was sober the
two engaged in a philosophical conversation about nature. Jabeel was fascinated. He kept
on asking the druid questions and the druid sometimes answered questions, sometimes he left
the answers for Jabeel to find out.
In the end Jabeel wanted to know so much that the druid decided to offer the mul mentorship.
Since that time Jabeel has become a devoted druid. He has found his place as part of
nature and will do anything to protect it.
Jabeel is a calm and pensive character. He is likely to confuse people with traditonal
expectations regarding muls. He has changed his tattoos of ownership to animal tattoos which
cover most of his body. He wears a light dark brown cloak, carries an agafari staff and
is accompanied by a boneclaw baazrag.

| STR | 19 |

| CON | 19 |

| WIS | 16 |
| CHA | 20 |
| WEAPONS | agafari staff, bone dagger |
| ARMOUR | - |
| NOTES | Jabeel is very confident regarding his abilities in combat. He prefers to fight without weapons even if the opponent is using them. |
Stel (male fighter/psionicist/preserver)
AL: lawful good
Stel is the son of a dwarven psionicist and an elven preserver.
As a result he looks
like a cross between a half-elf and a mul. He can pass as either of them.
Although he was born to loving understanding parents and in isolation from others,
he has been in a severe identity crisis for most of his life.
That began to change when Nibenay's Veiled Alliance sent the charismatic half-elf
Tiora to his parents for tuition.
The two outsiders were fascinated by each other at once and after a long period of
misunderstandings and inhibitions the two started an intense relationship.
But still, Stel's inner quarrels remained. He decided to leave Tiora and his family for
a while and set out into the desert where he came upon agents of the Veil.
Stel ended up working for the Veiled Alliance in Nibenay, Tioras birthplace. Because of
his immense talent and cunning, he slowly became the Alliance's "special agent".
In Nibenay, a feeling stronger than his unease with himself developed: his love for
Tiora. Whenever he had the time, he visited her at his parent's isolated hut in the mountains.
Soon, Tiora was ready to go back to Nibenay herself. Although, she is a capable psionicist/preserver,
Stel is in constant fear of her and would do anything to protect her, including sacrificing his own life.
How to use Stel:
| STR | 17 |
| DEX | 17 |
| CON | 17 |
| INT | 16 |
| WIS | 15 |
| CHA | 19 |
| WEAPONS | daggers, metal scimitar, obsidian shuriken |
| ARMOUR | enchanted leather |

Tiora Ka'lai (female psionicist/preserver/healer)
AL: lawful good
Tiora is a calm, dark-skinned half-elf with warm black eyes. She wears her thick dark hair
in a plait and is always clothed in brown, black or purple robes.
Tiora's parents were part of a slave tribe. Her father, a human ex-gladiator, and her
mother, an elven Earth-cleric/psionicist, had agreed to help the tribe survive in the hostile
region they had chosen to settle in.
Since the tribe did not solely want to depend on agri-culture, they often raided
passing caravans. Eventually they raided an important caravan of the Shadowking and the whole tribe
was wiped out as a result. Tiora was saved by an earth-elemental conjured by her mother and brought to
a fellow (human Earth) cleric in Nibenay.
Tiora grew up in Nibenay in the home of a preserver of the Veiled Alliance masking
as a healer. This way she became aware of magic and the difficult life preservers lived.
With mixed feelings her guardian observed that Tiora displayed a talent for magic
herself (as well as a talent for psionics). Tiora also became eager to learn. So her
guardian decided to send her to Stel's parents for tutelage in addition to the tutelage
she could give. (see Stel Torren)
Being a true Nibenese, Tiora is an accomplished dancer and musician. She also has the
typical mysterious aura that outsiders associate with the people of Nibenay.

| CON | 16 |
| INT | 15 |
| WIS | 16 |
| CHA | 19 |
| WEAPONS | bone knife, magic obsidian dagger |
