Val Baine: Khonnir Baine's adoptive daughter. Studied under Khonnir alongside Tabitha Flynn. Good with her hands, and apparently more level-headed than Tabitha.
Councilor Dolga Freddert: Dwarven councilwoman of Torch. Currently putting together another expedition under the town, this time to find Khonnir Baine as well as fix the town's 'torch'.
Khonnir Baine: Val's adoptive father & Tabitha's teacher. Skilled mage with a seat on the town council. Led two expeditions under Torch, the first of which was more-or-less a success. Whereabouts currently unknown.
Gerrol Sonder: Redheaded roguish citizen of Torch. Courting Councilor Otterbie's daughter. Signed up with Khonnir to provide for her. Current whereabouts unknown.
Father Joram Kyte: Resident priest of Brigh. An older gentleman who helps expeditionary parties with entering the caves under the Black Hill.
Acolyte Sarona: Redheaded android priestess of Brigh. Very mechanically inclined, and seemingly unable to recognize racial slurs directed at her. Speaks formally.
Sanvil Trett: Owner of Sanvil's Sundries. Deals in magic & technology-based items.
Jhestine Imierin: The half-elven proprietor of the Tempting Tonics apothecary in Torch. She has a wide variety of potions & cure-alls on sale--including some technology-based items.
Inkrit Kollisun: The Kellid proprietor of Torch's general store. Her shop sells a little bit of everything, including some enchanted equipment and technology.
Sef, Yadriss, Luepel & Brath: The remnants of a tribe of skulks that dwell under Torch. Sef is the boss, Yadriss is the second in command, and Luepel & Brath serve as scouts. Have since returned to the Darklands after a nearby nest of jinkin gremlins was cleared out by the party.
Garmen Ulreth: The proprietor of the Silverdisk Hall casino. Has currently been experiencing a boost in business thanks to the Torch being put out and the Foundry tavern closing due to Khonnir's disappearance. May or may not have something to do with the Torch being extinguished.
Ultimately, after the party investigated a warehouse of his and discovered a strange machine being housed within, he met his end learning the hard way why one should not abuse animals on Jasper's watch.
