My gnome paladin made a donation to the Turandarok Academy, and has shown interest in Ilsoari's invitation to come tour the premises. I'd like to have some memorable orphans to flesh the place out, hopefully ones that the PCs could become attached to. Any ideas? Here's a couple so far:
Rini “Owl” Vezunia: A Varisian orphan, never far from the harrow deck that is an heirloom from her parents. She got the nickname Owl both from the harrow card, and due to her penchant for staying up late at night (sometimes to the annoyance of her bunkmates.) Owl is well-liked at Turandarok due to her concern over everyone's well-being, and also her enjoyable harrow readings, which she takes very seriously but also tries to give a bit of flair. But if she feels the subject is not taking the harrowing process seriously, she'll pack up her cards and leave. She considers herself a caretaker and spiritual advisor to the other children, even those that are much older than her. She never knew her father, and her mother was killed by the Chopper.
Jannie Skiou: A slight girl, Jannie is often daydreaming and singing songs to herself. She is exceptionally fond of the Sandpoint Theater, and often harries Cyrdak for an audition. He's starting to soften up, and is now starting to take her more seriously, although not enough to actually cast her in any of the weekend shows. She doesn’t remember her parents, who died of illness when she was very young.
Horgie Blum: A plump Chelaxian boy, he is usually reluctant to get himself in trouble, but always eager to tag right behind and encourage others to get into mischief. He has aspirations to become a wizard, and so takes his studies quite seriously.
Anno Sprann: This 4-year-old boy is relentlessly curious.
