In the Spotlight:
Foxglove Manor - It may as well be a character, the family home of the Foxgloves, it has a horrific history and seems to be haunted.
Clear Enemies:
Brothers of the Seven - A mysterious organization headquartered somewhere in Magnimar. Aldern began to reveal their secrets but turned into the Skinsaw Man before revealing everything. Having a history with this organization, Aldern came to them with the problem of the murder of his wife and employee. They promised to take care of it in return for payment. However the debt was so huge that Aldern was essentially blackmailed into near bankruptcy. Knowing that his funds were running out, the matriarch of this Brothers decided to see Aldern, and for his debt to be repaid in full was to return to the manor and find a diseased rat and return it. For some reason, the once common rats were difficult to find, and only did he find one after digging breaking through his basement floor, discovering a hidden laboratory in a cave. There he discovered an odd mold and finally cornered a rat. He returned with both the rat and a mold sample. By the time he reached the brothers of the seven, an illness brought him to his deathbed. When he awoke, something was wrong with him, and he had been back to Foxglove Manor.
Clear Allies:
Orik Vancaskerkin - Down on his luck mercenary. Run out of town by Clegg Zinchar, a powerful man in Riddleport, for killing Vinchers brother after a controversial and tempestous affair involving a tiefling prostitute, Vinchers alchemist brother, himself, and an elixir of love (which was nothing but ale laced with lavender). Dreams of going back with enough power to face Zinchar and perhaps claiming his Arena. Signed up with Naulia as a bodygaurd in a Magnimar Tavern when she approached him about the job and offered to pay in platinum. Betrayed Naulia and now works for the party.
Shalelu Andosana - A young elf who patrols the Hinterlands, living as a survivalist, but occasionally is a bounty hunter or a mercenary if in need of money. She keeps civilized towns insight into how the wilderness is doing as well as farmlands when she passes through a couple times each season. Shalelu was one of the first to notice the threat of an organized goblin raid upon Sandpoint. Assaulted Thistletop with the party.
Sheriff Belor Hemlock - Sheriff of Sandpoint. Stern, dark skinned man. Is known to have an affair with Lady Kaye. Petitioned the group for help in solving a recent string of murders.
Jimmy "Juice" Jenkins - A relatively young Sandpoint guard who's come to Idolize Palon. Has recently been assigned to farmland patrol, so hasn't been seen in town recently.
Townsfolk and Other Characters:
Ameiko Kaijitsu - Proprietor of the Rusty Dragon. Only surviving member of the Kaijitsu family. As such she is the new owner of the familes glassworks and estate.
Jubrayl Vhiski - Local Sczarni boss who had Fender inducted into the organization. Hasn't been seen in a while.
Mayor Kendra Deverin - The current mayor of Sandpoint. Has served for the last eight years. Has a no nonsense attitude and runs the town with a personal...some would say...sisterly...style.
Ibor Thorn - Co-owner of the lumber mill. Distraught over Banny and Katrine's deaths. Being kept at the garrison.
Shayliss Vinder - Well known as a loose girl. Seems to be preoccupied with a pest problem in her fathers shop. Believes father is not taking care of the pest problem because he is preoccupied with her older sisters actions. Mourning the loss of her sister.
Ven Vinder - Runs Sandpoint General store. Worried about his daughters, especially Katrine, who spends too much time hanging around the guys at the lumber mill. Has copious amounts of hard liquor in his store's basement. Is being kept at the Garrison as a murder suspect.
Solsta Vinder - Ven's wife. Makes a mean pie. Mourning the loss of her daughter.
Victims:[/u]
Banny Harker (deceased) - Co-owner of the only lumber mill left in Sandpoint. Brutally murdered.
Katrine Vinder (deceased) - Recently murdered alongside Banny Harker at the lumber mill. Seems to have had a bad run in with a mill saw. Barely identifiable.
Enemy History
Aldern Foxglove (deceased) - Handsome noble from Magnimar. Saved from certain goblining. Paid 50 gp to his rescuers before leaving Sandpoint. Turned out to be behind the Sandpoint murders but was manipulated by the "Brothers of the Seven". Or at least that's what he said, seemed to have multiple personalities in his ghoulish state, including one that didn't even appear to be him at all (The Skinsaw Man).
Naulia Tobyn (deceased) - The once thought dead daughter of Father Tobyn, who died in the church fire. Now dead by adventurer. A mad cleric of Lamashtu who was trying to sacrifice Sandpoint to Lamashtu and to fill the Runewell beneath the glassworks.
Lyrie Akenja (deceased) - From Orik's description: A young woman with dark skin who studies magic and ancient ruins. Has a cat named Skivver, and is completely obsessed with Tsuto Kaijitsu. So obsessed as to carry a pouch with his hair, nail clippings, used handkerchiefs, and even stole one of his earrings. Orik admits he's grown a little sweet on Lyrie, and even thought about killing Tsuto just to make sure he was out of the way. Was killed in a clever ambush preying on her weakness for Tsuto. Skivver the cat has vanished, it is unclear whether he has ran away somewhere or poofed into smoke.
Warchief Ripnugget (deceased) - Former leader of the Thistletop Tribe. Most if not all of the tribe has been killed, and all that remains of ripnugget is his head atop a javelin in Palons backpack, carefully placed to look almost like a helmet to the untrained eye.
Bruthazmus (deceased) - Bugbear Ranger, enemy and rival of Shalelu Andosana. Was conspiring with the force gathered at thistletop. Died an embarrassing death when ambushed while pleasuring the goblin wives of the Thistletop tribe.
Tsuto Kaijitsu (deceased) - Kaijitsu families bastard son. Conspires with goblins and Naulia Tobyn to destroy Sandpoint. Killed himself when cornered. Naulia's lover, or at least his journal suggests.
Lonjiku Kaijitsu (deceased) - Head of the Kaijitsu Family. Killed by Tsuto and glassed up in the his own factory's main chamber.

*Notes on the sections:
In the Spotlight - Generally this will be where your newest big Allies and Enemies will be, or something of general importance and is a huge focus of the game at some point. Anytime you discover a main Antagonist, expect them here. Also sometimes more minor characters will make an appearance if they have been around a lot lately or I can get back to making constant updates and you've just met them last session.
Clear Enemies/Allies - This may not always be true. They are only on relative terms in an evolving game so don't rely on things to stay that way forever. Also in the enemies section will go things that may not end up being enemies, but are clearly "bad guys" and most likely will be.
Townsfolk and Other Characters - This is where the more important (and important to the PC's) townsfolk from Sandpoint (or whatever homebase you have, and probably your original town starting point) goes, also other NPC's get listed here, if they have some kind of importance. I will probably end up naming this section just NPC's in the future but I am trying to avoid such a crappy title...
Victims - Those you know or hear about slain by violent antagonists. Currently only those murdered by Aldern.
Enemy History - This is where past baddies go. You might be wondering why I still have (deceased) tags against every name. This is in case an enemy get's away, or surrenders but never quite becomes an ally, maybe they end up in jail or something....Come to think of it, I should tag every enemies last known status. So expect (imprisoned) and (escaped) perhaps in the future....unless you chase those bastards down and kill them, you XP whores!
Foxglove Manor - It may as well be a character, the family home of the Foxgloves, it has a horrific history and seems to be haunted.
