This game is such a sandbox for everyone, that I found that having more NPCs to introduce during the game fostered a more organic feel to the game and allowed the PCs a broader choice of who to interact with. In some cases, these NPCs filled a needed niche, like hireling or political figure. In others the NPCs were just there for flavor and would only be seen once if the PCs didn't show any interest in them.
Here we go, listed in no particular order.

Maxim Cenek – N Male Human Ranger 4
A trapper that has been in the area just north of Olegs for many years.

Political Figures
The Sword Lords
(These of course are not the most influential or powerful, just the ones that would show interest in the new kingdom.)
Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellemius (NG male human aristocrat 3/expert 2)
The mayor of Restov who is forced to bend his knee to the Dragonscale throne.
Zelig Kovac (NG male human expert 3/warrior 2)
A swordlord who believes that patience is better then rash action. He has been a great asset to Mayor Sellemius, in that he has been able to keep both sides of the politics from cutting each other down in the streets.
Borys Reuter (LE male human aristocrat 3/warrior 1)
A huge supporter of a rebellion and a minor swordlord. He secretly has been playing both sides against each other, and has been the hidden cause of some recent fights.
Gerasim Biskup (LG male human expert 3)
While not a swordlord himself, he supports them and often offers his services as a steward, clerk, and scribe. Most find him very pleasant and have used him as a kind of diplomat in delicate situations.
Dragomir Hrabe (CG male human warrior 4)
A swordlord with a significant amount of wealth. While he isn't the best at politics, he is caught in the middle of most plans as people try to convince him to fund their different projects.
Ariel Sherman (N female half-elf aristocrat 3)
Some call her Lady Sherman, but she has no noble blood or a husband. She is pretty influencial though, and if you have her on your side you have the majority of the swordlords.
Maya Novak (LN female human fighter 5)
The one female that has actually gained enough respect to be called a swordlord, Maya knows an underdog when she sees one and will throw her weight behind them.
Andres Aldori (CN male human fighter 6)
A rash and arrogant man, it is suspected that he wasn't born with the last name he currently uses. He often starts fights just to bully people, and isn't very good at keeping his mouth shut. Because of that, he isn't often invited to the more politically sensitive gatherings, but that doesn't stop him from showing up anyway.
Brevoy
House Surtova, motto: "Ours Is the Right"
The current ruling house of Brevoy and Issia.
King Noleski Surtova (N male human aristocrat 5/warrior 3)
The current king of Restov, though it is debatable if he is the rightful heir.
Natala Surtova (LE female human aristocrat 6)
The sister of Noleski, and by tradition and law she rules alongside him as long as he stays unmarried.

A nephew that believes that his family is acting for the benefit of the people. He hopes that diplomacy and tact will eventually win over those he deals with.
Ayelet Surtova (N female aristocrat 2/ expert 2)

Cosmin Avraham (N male elf expert 6)
A representative for the Surtova noble family, he stays in Restov to ensure that the king's interests are protected. He is good with words, and a subtle politician, which has made it hard for anyone dealing with him to gain any advantage in deals he is involved in.
Mihaita Utkin (LN female human aristocrat 1/ expert 4)
While some accuse her of being a spy, she keeps nothing hidden about her allegiance to the crown. She does have a knack for bedding the competition and learning a few secrets or two during pillow talk though.
House Garess, motto: "Strong as the Mountains"
Lord Howlin Garess (LN male human aristocrat 3/warrior 4)
The head of House Garess. His son disappeared as part of the vanishing.
Toval Golka (N male dwarf aristocrat 2/expert 4)
The adpoted heir to House Garess. He is one of the few remaining dwarves from Golushkin. He has few friends within Greyhaven, but this does not stop him from trying to make some.
Branko Garess (LN male expert 4)
Having been disgusted by the recent events in Castle Greyhaven, he travels as a representative for his family. He hopes to keeps the Garess family name intact, but believes it is only a matter of time before Torval ruins it all.
Ariel Garess (LG female aristocrat 4)
Sister to Branko, she travels with him and is often handling the finer and more delicate matters when representing the noble family. She is unmarried, but she is receiving some pressure to remedy that.
Lazar Markovic (LN male expert 4/ warrior 2)
A tactician and battlefield planner in a time without war, Lazar hopes to be successful in the political battles.
Darja Starosta (N female aristocrat 5)
Darja is married to a successful merchant and noble, but she is far more famous for her ability to predict how the political tide will turn and capitalize on it.
House Lebeda, motto: "Success Through Grace"
Dame Sarrona Lebeda (N female human aristocrat 11)
The head of House Lebeda, she rules until her son comes of age.
Lander Lebeda (LN male human artisocrat 2/warrior 1)
The son of Dame Sarrona, he is only a year from his majority.
Elanna Lebeda(NG female human aristocrat 4)
Daughter of Dame Sarrona. She is currently spending much time with Noleski and it is rumored that she will be married to him within a year.
Alexander Lebeda (N male warrior 4)
A cousin and body guard to Elanna, he fears that her time with Noleski will only endanger her and the family more. He stays quiet about his feelings though and instead makes plans to keep her safe.
Chanah Lebeda (LN female aristocrat 4)
She isn't the biggest supporter of a union between Elanna and Noleski, but this is because she is secretly in love with the king herself.
Beniamin Rose (NG male expert 4)
A talented and well liked representative, he has been spending a good amount of time in Restov representing the family. He makes it very clear that the Lebedas support the king but wish to avoid war.

A cunning negotiator and diplomat, she mostly represents the trade interests for the family but has also been able to assist in more sensitive political negotiations.

Lord Kozek Lodovka (CG male human aristocrat 2/expert 3/warrior 2)
A cunning old pirate who just wants to do best by his people, his family, and his land.
Aharon Lodovka (N male aristocrat 5)
He has made it his life's work to expand and diversify the families holdings, but finds Kozek's soft heart an obstacle in many of his plans. He would never betray his family, but his frustrations are hurting his relationship with them.
Marya Lodovka (N female expert 2)
While she is unmarried, she acts as a diplomat for her family and travels to where they need her. This has made it hard for her to find love, but a Medvyed noble has caught her eye, and she his.
Roman Brož (N male expert 1/ warrior 3)
He is more of a body guard to Naamah then anything else, but he has been helpful in gathering information she needs to gain the edge in her dealings.
Naamah Kolar (CG female aristocrat 4)
A negotiator for trade deals and political agreements, she has been a big help in keeping the interests of her family protected in the south.
House Medvyed, motto: "Endurance Overcomes All"
Lord Gurev Medvyed (NG male human aristocrat 1/warrior 5)
A family man who loves the outdoor life and the thrill of the hunt.
Mircea Medvyed (CN male warrior 6)

Shira Medvyed (LN female expert 5)
She is the wife of Mircea, and a traveling representative for the family. While he is officially the diplomat, she is much better with writing up agreements and making deals.
Nikodim Gabor (N male aristocrat 2/ warrior 3)
He is one of the minor nobles overlooking the logging and timber rights of House Medvyed. He often finds himself fighting loggers who are not following their agreements.
Elena Sann (NG female aristocrat 4)
Yet unmarried, she left the homeland of House Medvyed to escape pressure to settle down. She now represents House Medvyed in courts and makes sure that trade agreements are kept.

A lord who wants to play general, he supports Poul, but feels his neutrality is going tear the family apart.

Liza Tesar (NG female aristocrat 5)
A representative for the family who lives in Restov, she has been very good at keeping would-be proposals and poor offers from reaching her lord. She has become a key to keeping the house neutral in the recent affairs, but has orders to keep a look out for the golden opportunity to take a side.
This is Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing! I'll definately be liberating some of these folk for use in my Tales from the Stolen Lands game!
Do you mind if others of us add our particular rogues galleries as well?
Nice! thanks!
I'll write up mine when I get home =)
I have been tweaking some of the NPCs from Kingmaker for my game but I have also added a few. The following is the short-list of NPCs for my game that started this week on these boards...
Ioseph Sellemius
- The current Lord Mayor of Restov and a Rostlandic Swordlord. He has defied House Surtova at every turn since Noleski begun to call himself “king” but Ioseph knows that he does not have long before Noleski turns the armies of Issian against him. It appears that he has chosen to tie himself to a northern Lord much to the dismay of his fellow Swordlords.
Alexis Orlovsky
- The daughter of Lord Orlovsky.
Poul Orlovsky
- One of the Issian Lords. He refuses to acknowledge Noleski Surtova as anything other than Lord Regent in the absense of King Urzen or a true Rogarvian heir, but it is becoming increasingly clear which way the political winds are shifting. He will soon be forced to either declare for the man he considers an usurper and opportunist, or seek to overthrow him.
Noleski Surtova
- House Surtova were renowned as crafty schemers and had ingratiated themselves with the ruling house of Rogarvia and Noleski Surtova, Duke of House Surtova, took advantage of the misfortune of House Rogarvia by quickly establishing a “regency” in the absence of King Urzen. He has only maintained this by allying with former enemies and using fear of the return of Rogarvia as a tool to unite Brevoy and its seven noble families.
Noleski Surtova's “regency” has quickly become a succession and now he sits upon the Dragonscale Throne and demands that Brevoy recognize him as King. Some of the Brevic noble houses, such as House Orlovsky, only acknowledge Noleski as reigning Lord Regent and diplomatic relations are growing tense. Increasingly, it appears that Brevoy is on the verge of collapsing back into two separate nations.
Natala Surtova
- The sister of Noleski and unofficial "queen" of Brevoy. Rumors say that she enjoys her role (and her influence over her brother) far too much to embrace the idea of a proper sister-in-law.
Bingo Guessford
- The proprietor of the Gnarly Hobbit Inn. He is also the family patriarch of the modest family of halflings that run the place. It is a shame that halflings are viewed as no better then rogues or else the Gnarly Hobbit could compete with some of the bigger inns in Restov for service.
Kesten Garess
- The exiled son of Evan Garess, cousin to Garess family patriarch Lord Howlan. Quite recently became a Swordlord of Restov, the Exiled Blade.
Master Janus
- The Lord Mayor's attendant and the man that keeps the day to day operations of the city running smoothly while the Lord Mayor focuses on foreign policies.

This is Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing! I'll definately be liberating some of these folk for use in my Tales from the Stolen Lands game!
Do you mind if others of us add our particular rogues galleries as well?
Post away! The more NPC the better. I have about 30 more NPCs to post, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Brown Doug – Galtesan soldier and generally unplesant fellow found with a gang of bruisers. I placed him in Restov to kick things off, but he and his gang could be anywhere.
Burrel Tollen – Marshal of Restov. Burrel is a half elven lawyer from a wealthy family in Restov, who has claimed the seat of Marshal though cunning political maneuvering. He was the authority by which the writs of exploration were given to various adventuring groups by way of varying sponsors in Restov, in our game's case, one of the Swordlords has sponsored the party and secured the last writ. Burrel functions as the emisarry of the crown administrating the exploration endeavor on behalf of the king.
Sir Hrodgar, Spear of Rostland – a hot headed, unlanded knight and general rabble-rouser, currently attempting to rally the pesants and countryside to his banner in preperation of what he sees as the coming civil war in Brevoy.
Jeoffry Troyer – A soldier murdered by bandits in the Stolen Lands. Originally from Restov, he and the 4 other soldiers (also murdered) are found on the trail to Oleg’s. (used to set the tone in the Stolen Lands)
Constable Hodd – A local sheriff for an area north of Oleg’s who drops in on the Leveton;s from time to time. Hodd is an overweight man with good intentions but lacking in the ability to see thoser intentions through. Left to the wilds without a force to back him, his word carries little weight.
Gaff the Wretched – A former noble from Mivon, Gaff traveled north into the stolen lands to found his own kingdom. He arrived with his wife Sybill and a few families to an area northwest of Oleg’s where he founded the town of Gaffton unknowingly on a site very close to the first world. The site is centered around “the hidden” making the town and its surrounding environs much harder to locate (they stumbled there out of dumb luck).
After his wife took illness in their first year of marriage, Gaff turned his energies on researching ways to prevent her further decline. In his library he discovered an old spellbook that had just the key, or so he thought, in his paranoid state. Unfortunately even with all of Gaff's efforts, Sybill did not heal and perished at the hands of her husband. Maddened by his loss, Gaff fell fully into research in a vain attempt to return his beloved Sybill to his side – sadly the fruits of necromancy are all too often merely shades of what once was.
Item: Collar of Undead Subjucation:
These heavy metallic collars are inscribed with faint writing in Necrul, and are often corroded to the point where translation is impossible. The back of the collar contains a large and complex locking mechanism. Collars of Undead Subjugation are nasty items of necromantic magic, stories tell of these artifacts being created long ago by a particularly unpleasant wizard researching immortality. Stories also tell tale of this wizard slowly losing his mind and humanity, cursed to wander undead, still looking for the secret to never dying. The secrets of the collar’s creation have since been lost to time, though they are often sought out by necromancers looking to increase their power.
A collar of undead subjugation functions by placing the collar around the neck of an undead creature and locking it in place. Once this is done the person locking the collar becomes the master, and the creature upon which the collar was placed becomes the subject. This item immediately conveys the ability to speak and understand Necrul to both it’s master and it’s subject, both aloud and telepathicly between the master and subject..
The Collar’s first purpose is to allow the master (whomever places the collar on an undead subject) to see and hear through the eyes/ears of the subject. This functions as a continual mental feed to the master, so long as the subject is undead. The collar also allows for the master to take control of the undead in an active manner should they desire. Control checks on the subject are made by the master to use the undead as a puppet. This requires a concentration check of 10 + the undead’s will save, and is a full round action.
The Collar’s second purpose is to allow the master to control unruly undead within 60’ of the subject wearing the collar. Attempting to control unruly undead in this manner also takes a control check, but it’s DC is based off the highest will save of the undead within range. Using this property is also a full round action and its effects are the same as a Dominate spell, save that it effects all undead in range.
There are serious drawbacks to using a Collar of Undead Subjugation, the first of which being that it is an extremely evil, minor artifact. Simply being in the proximity of an item of this sort is enough to change someone’s alignment to evil - this transformation can happen quickly or can take a while (GM’s discretion). Certain things may hamper the item’s ability to corrupt in this manner such as keeping the item in a bag of holding.
Another drawback of using a Collar of Undead Subjugation is that once it is placed on a subject, the only way to interrupt the feed of information that the master gets is to remove the collar. As undead do not sleep, the master is continually assaulted with sensory data from the subject, even when they are trying to rest. This can lead to a myriad of problems, especially for spell casters, and often results in the master slowly loosing their mind from sleep deprivation and in some cases sensory overload.
Additionally there is a far more sinister detriment to using a collar of Undead Subjugation. It is said that some of these collars are intelligent, that they have wills of their own. In fact, every Collar of Undead Subjugation is intelligent, has a personality (usually a wicked and nasty one), and seeks to eventually dominate the master. This process would likely take a very long time, and results must be tailored to one’s individual campaign -- have fun with it!
Molly Magpie – a selfish and quick to anger druidess living in the Stolen Lands, loosely allied and sometimes shacking up with the Stag Lord. She’ll sometimes been seen in animal form (magpie) watching the party from the treetops, keeping an eye on them. She values strength and determination, and is fiercly devoted to personal freedom. She does little for anyone save herself, and sees the Staglord as an easilly manipulated thug who lets her do as she wishes in the woods.
Hookmire residents – The town of Hookmire lies to the southwest of Oleg’s, near the frog pond. It is situated near a large deposit of granite and can be used as a quarry town for building materials. In my campaign, hookmire was recently liberated from the slavers who had been using it as a base of operations, and were mining the granite to send to the staglord’s castle.
Broken Wing – a Giant Hawk who’s wing has been broken. If mended he will become a steadfast ally of the character who healed him, and may even consent to serve as a mount for said character.
Ursula, the Bear God – Primal god of the forest, Ursula stands about 40 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs more than 10 elephants. Ursula is generally in a good disposition, and is usually helpful, though often will only answer questions for a suitable bribe of honey. She can be a wealth of information on the barbarians who used to live in the area and worshipped her, and remembers when this place and the first world were co-terminus. In my campaign, the temple of the elk was changed to the temple of the bear to reflect her presence.
Clem Clemson – An aldolescent who watched his parents murdered by the Stag Lord’s brigands(slavers), and was given the choice to join the slavers or suffer the same fate. He is reticent of this situation and is looking for a way to rid himself of the yoke of banditry.
Jem – Dwarven tinker, escaped slave. Jem, Esther and Vlad were travelling from ustalav into numeria and southern brevoy for a three years, moving from village to village fixing farming equipment, tools, and healing the infirm when they were set upon by the staglord’s men. After burning Jem’s wagon, they were taken as slaves, and were being brought back to Hookmire (Slaver town, Near the frog pond). Before getting to the town, Clem helped them escape but was kept from joining them due to unfortunately tripping over a sleeping guard, waking the camp.
Esther – Varisian lay healer, escaped slave.
Vlad – Varisian bruiser, escaped slave.
Percy Sparkspriggle – a long dead gnome explorer found in the back recesses of a cave with a heavilly scrawled journal. Percy was an adventurer hundreds of years ago, who explored the first world often and wrote of it in his ponderous journal.
Through it’s reading, the journal gives some indications of lore centered around the first world and its fey denizens.
As the journal goes on, it describes Percy’s exile to Greysky, presumably what is now Golarion, and begins to become dour and morose. It seems that Percy was haunted by the time he spent in the first world, continuously comparing his later experiences with his memories of a better time. This likely began to drive him mad with envy and depression. Eventually he became consumed with finding a way back to The First World, and spent his latter days doing so.
It was on one such excursion he found himself in this cave, really the den of a large lizard. The lizard, returning home from its hunt smelled Percy and chased him into the deeper recesses of its den, where the gnome slipped through a crack the Lizard could not breach. It seemed Percy and the lizard were at an impasse - He could not leave and the lizard could not get to him. Eventually, Percy died from a combination of blanching and starvation (an extremely long and drawn out process for gnomes), the whole time being haunted by the dream of the First World and the hungry eye of his giant lizard captor, which suprisingly never left it’s post watching poor Percy with it’s baleful reptilian eye...
The journal will bestow the skill Knowledge First World on anyone who reads it. After reading it they can add skill points through normal research (leveling). This skill can be used to gather information on the fey and the first world. However, reading this book carries a price -- it instills a permanent -1 to will saves when dealing with Fey creatures, due to it’s powerfully written accounting of the beauty and merits of the Fey, and conveyance of dangerous secrets of the first world.”
In my game I’ve sectioned off knowledge of the first world into its own knowledge, as opposed to rolling it into Knowledge Nature.
Great stuff! I might steal a hunter/trapper of yours for my session tonight and then work up some others of my own this weekend.
They're being set up as another group of explorers that are working for one of the swordlords who is looking to get himself (or maybe herself) a spot in the Greenbelt. Planning on having them causing havoc for the party at a few set encounters.
|
I have a ton of generic nobility I am working on now, so Caleb, I am definitely going to steal most of your NPCS! Excellent writeup and great idea starting this thread.
To keep things going, I will share some of the more key NPCs that I put in the game to create controversy, make the PCs work, or illustrate a point I wished to make about the Stolen lands.
NPCs with a Mission
Ingulf Stormfury – CG Male Human Kellid Barbarian -
Cassandra Sangiovese – CN Female Changeling Barbarian 1/Ranger 2 –
Dr. Gregor Olshansky – N Male Dhampyr alchemist (Chirugon) 8 –
Niccolo Vanchetti – N Male Human Expert 5 (merchant)
Madrae Andozien, Radiant Flame of Sarenrae – NG Female Human (qadiran) Cleric of Sarenrae 9 –
Kir’Gash of the Iron Boot – N(E) Male Redcap Fighter 2 –
|

Of course, all of the above listed NPCs also set the stage nicely for this very special encounter that I am so looking forward to aggravating the party with:
I am actually delaying this encounter until closer to the end of Book 2 rather than the beginning.
Alrighty. Here's a few of mine.
Note that my KM game takes place in my own setting rather than Golarion, thus country references won't match up to that region. For example, instead of working for the Swordlords of Brevoy my players are chartered agents of one of the Vanguard Houses of the barony of Olorunium.
AT OLEG'S
Abner Drelveg (TN Male Human Fighter 2)
Mara Talvier (LN Female Human Rogue 3)
Tolin Marka (CN Male Human Barbarian 2)
Delilah Eli (NG Female Human Ranger 2)
Mikmek (LN Male Kobold Rogue 4)
Tory (Victoria) Anrech (CN Female Human Ranger 2)
Dav (David) Stephenson (CN Male Human Rogue 1/Ranger 1)
IN THE WILDERNESS
Rannulf of the White Scar (LE Male Worg Cavalier 2)
----
That's all so far, surely more will be coming.

The Nac Mac Feegles
The Nac Mac Feegles ** spoiler omitted **
PFAHAHAHAHAHAH
That's beautiful! You have stats on these guys?
Mine include:
Mikmek: Helped in fighting T and was a steadfast friend of the former baron. After defying Hargulka and siding with the PCs, chief Sootscale sent him off to train and serve as household guard at the PCs capital. The new baron (pally of Iomedae) has taken him under his wings (currently Mikmek is a fighter1/pally2).
Gunther, Abel, Percy: Due to being short one player way too often, I have these accompany my PCs. All are Fighter2 and are commanded by Kesten Garress (warden of Narland and Fighter5). Gunther saved the baron's life once and is a superb marksman.
Belwas, proprietor of the Green Salamander:
Belwas acts as a fence for a rather unsavory establishment.

Throg: An ogre who was origionaly and encounter added soley to foreshadow the alternative to Pitax as I am running Kingmaker in my own campaign rather than Golarion. He was convinced with diplomacy and good playing to accompany the party instead. i have added two levels of alchemist in between book 2 and 3. He is also the owner of a successful brewhouse/fairly exclusive restaurant.
Sir Balekist Blakemoore: origionally a one shot ambusher to raise curiosity in the dwarven npc i replaced the crazy alchemist hermit with. He is the brother to a human alchemist who was badly harmed when their father sent in thugs to destroy the dwarf's old lab in a large city state in my campaign called Xyr. He was introduced trying to prevent a vital shipment from arriving to the dwarf in the stolen lands. He ended up sacrificing much of his life and limb to restore his sister's life. he is currently in the background but will be coming into the foreground by the end of book 3
Dalgrund Fireaxe: a dwarven machinesmith(Neoexidus) who replaced the crazy hermit as a source of quests because the hermit just did not appeal to me. While his labrotory would have occasional explosions, these were purely accidents and he is actually very meticulous in his methods. He restore his wife using unconventional methods as the accident at his ruined labe rendered her unable to use conventional healing magics. She was in a form of status until mid book 2. He is not the mayor of the city of Industry, mostly labeled Dwarfton th the mayor's disgust.
Lilly Blakemoore-Fireaxe: An alchemist who apprentices with a low status dwarf as an act of rebellion and ended up married. Her father the Count Blakemoore sent several thugs to kill the dwarf. They started by destroying equipment that might be used against them, not noticing the count's daughter in the middle of an experiment. the explosion exposed her to chaotic magical energies rendering standard magics incapable of healing her. after dispatching the thugs, Dalgrund put her in a stasis chamber and moved near Oleg's trading post for the isolation and privacy. Lilly is a mad scientist style bomber alchemist, although i have not pointed this out yet.
