Historical Figures

Bargle the Black - An ancient and terrible evil from the a dimly remembered past epoch, Bargle was born an ordinary man in the Second Age but dark rituals had extended his life seemingly indefinitely. His schemes for power have been the cause of untold misery over the millennia but they all came to an ignominious end when he attempted to use the most recent Convocation to transcend the mortal realm in pursuit of godhood. Fortunately for Rakendawn he failed and has not been heard from since. The overflow from the power struggles that wracked the underbelly of the world in the wake of his end are but one of the symptoms that most know as the Sundering.

Crius the White - Another immortal wizard, Crius the White has been a stabilizing force for as long as history has been recorded. Thought to be the oldest living being on Rakendawn, he was a founding member of the Circle of Nine - a group of powerful magi from the First Age. While possessed of immense personal power he has generally been content to remain aloof from world affairs. All respect his wisdom and even the most power-hungry dictator and bloodthirsty warlord are given pause when he chooses to offer his counsel. He currently resides on Oakenbend Isle, the largest of Rakendawn's floating islands, and ventures forth even more rarely than he permits visitors.

Gerfeldt the Orange - The only other living founder of the Circle of Nine, Gerfeldt is almost as old as Crius the White. Always a little mad, he has become more so as the years took their toll on his psyche. For someone whom the primal forces of nature and creation still leap to his command, any lack of sanity is a dangerous thing. Fortunately, he does not venture beyond the confines of the interior of the isolated western continent Bemaryl and only the most foolhardy adventurers dare his domain.

The Jrade

Empress Cathariella - Youthful ruler of Sarcasionne, a figurehead for most of her life but as she has come of age has been grasping for the reins of power more strongly. Spurred by the widespread suffering of the commoners of her nation, she may one day become a wise and just ruler - assuming the nobles do not remove her before then.
