	His Majesty, King Gort III of Turnobae (Gort) Not a very nice man, overall. Somewhat arrogant, stingy, and bad-tempered. However, he's also a pragmatist and distrustful of mercenaries (sometimes with good reason, it has to be said). Probably the most powerful non-magical ruler in the northern world - but that doesn't necessarily mean he's too bright.
	Mordlin the Sage (Maud-lin) Not exactly your typical wise old hermit who lives halfway up a mountain. True, he does live halfway up a mountain, but in the catacombs of a ruined temple, with a full contingent of guards, servants, pupils and disciples. Rather arrogant, but that's okay because he's tremendously powerful. Has many agents all over the place, and is something of a meddler, or puppet-master - generally for the benefit of a lot of people, not just himself. As he is so powerful, and so meddlesome, I probably should get round to working out what the limits of his considerable talents actually are, at some point.
	His Majesty, King Dashell II of Galorndan (Da-shell) Young-ish, handsome, intelligent, athletic, second most powerful non-magical ruler in the northern world - but that may be changing soon. Knows the value of good mercenaries, and good intelligence. Has a fondness for magical items, and may rely on them a little too much. But, hey, he's got a top-notch court wizard, a first class general and a competent army, and if all else fails, he's got a really shiny magic sword - so why worry?
	General Kael (Kayl) Head of the Galorndan armed forces, including the intelligence services and the King's personal guard, The Order of the Fox. A huge man, friendly, good at his job, and with a huge & hearty apetite for both food and drink.
	Her Majesty, Queen Elspeth III of Turnobae (Els-puth) Daughter of Gort. Rather more attractive and intelligent than her late father, but also more religious. Not the sort who's prone to girly-mishaps when in trouble - the answer to most problems lies Heavenward, apparently.
	Anselm and Georgia, Knights of the Green Cross (An-selm, Jorj-ah) Paladins, basically. These two in particular are part of the bodyguard of Queen Elspeth III of Turnobae.
	Lethwin Gorchia (Leth-win Gor-chee-ah) A rather arrogant, but very good, agent for those who need their political work to be somewhat less than above board. Since he's based in Doronatha, his rates are high, and his success rate notabale.
