Axia

• Note dad follows leads to a ruin of Esharim, where the sequestered hero is. His sequester is that if ever the esharim within are released, so would he be.
• Dad got trapped in the astral plane from one of the ruins.
• Scroll ruin has vestige part

Ryn

• Attack once with not too much success
• Attack again, with leader.
  • He will leave, noting that she’s too much hassle, and that the ritual will proceed without her.
  • Uh oh sister cooked?
• Dragonmarked outpost
  • From Aschenwalds

Evander

• Once per long rest, you can cast an altered version of Mirror Image. You can cast the spell even while Raging. When you cast the spell, the number of duplicates that appear equals half your proficiency bonus, rounded down.

Alternatively, you can cast the spell on another creature. When you do this, a single duplicate of you follows the creature around. Once before the spell ends, when the creature is targeted with an attack roll, you can take a reaction to have your duplicate be the target instead. You must choose to do so before the roll.

• Additionally, you can participate in Circle casting as a secondary caster. If you need to expend a spell slot, you can instead spend a rage charge.

Luana

• The rot targets drow, which is why it was so slow to target her.
• Caecus? Pregnant during the time Malevor died
• wants to essentially create a proper upgraded biological body. Not artificial, but a replacement, upgraded biological.

Rumours

Sari

• Luana once refused a contract worth thousands because the target was a child. That’s the only line she won’t cross, apparently.
• Axia survived a spellflare in the Aerarium and returned to work without explanation.
• Ever a player, Evander has not had a single committed relationship his whole life.

Squid

• There’s a smuggler missing two fingers who claims Luana bit them off in a fit of laughter. She still calls Luana ‘darling.’
• They say Ryn used to dance with fire when she was part of a traveling circus troupe. During the solstice, the longest night of the year, their flames went wild during a performance. Some say it was beautiful to behold, others say it was hell. The next morning, there was nothing left of the tent but burnt cloth and glass sand.
• Evander only got through college because of sizable donations his parents (the famous wizards Michaelis and Aleksander) make towards the school

Jerm

• Luana sends half her coin to someone down south every month, maybe her mother. Maybe her dealer.
• Ryn’s wanted in Naeris: No one’s quite sure what had happened there. Some say arson, others say something about a duel gone wrong with a noble’s heir. A few others say she burned down a whole library, whatever it was, Ryn left Naeris. The city guard still has their face pinned to a charred notice board.
• Axia can twist minds or peer into thoughts without speaking a word

Oskar

• When Ryn was a baby, their mother found a phoenix egg in their cradle. It vanished in the morning but some folks say that’s why they are part fire, like she’s half-born from the ashes of a phoenix. Others just think it explains why she smells like smoke when she’s nervous.
• The scroll Axia carries causes anyone who reads it to become possessed by an alien intelligence
• Evander’s unassuming demeaner hides a calculating strategic mind much like his brothers or his parents , he has often played dumb only to fool other classmates or researchers into letting their guard down, a mistake they quickly regret
