Hordus, son of Farin, is one of the last surviving founders of the shattered Kilthdûûm Clan, whose ancestral fortress of Dorob Kilthdûûm fell over eighty years ago after a brutal, drawn-out siege by the Orcs of the Flayed Skull under the warchief Gruk-Grak. Once a stalwart defender who commanded the lower ramparts in the fortress’s final days, Hordus still carries the memory of screeching steel, blood-painted banners, and the bitter retreat through hidden tunnels that left many of his kin behind. The loss haunts him—his sleep plagued by nightmares so vivid he cannot rest in darkness without light—driving him into a life of wandering exile in the wilds near the Kron Hills, where he seeks solace in hardship and quiet acts of aid. Gruff but approachable, he finds peace in woodcarving, shaping order from chaos as a small defiance against the ruin of his past. Though he lives as a solitary traveler, Hordus has not abandoned hope; he quietly nurtures a vow to one day reclaim his fallen home, knowing it will take allies, patience, and perhaps the favor of the gods to see the gates of Dorob Kilthdûûm opened once more.

Elora Dawn awoke in a muddy ditch along a lonely road in southern Keoland with no memory of who she was or what had happened, surrounded by the burned remains of three wagons, several dead travelers, and slain goblins. The only clue to her identity was the name “Elora Dawn” engraved on her coin pouch. After making her way to the coastal town of Saltmarsh and staying at the Green Dragon Inn, she discovered a journal among her belongings that revealed fragments of her personality and past ambitions. From its pages, Elora learned she was intelligent, logical, outspoken, fiercely loyal, and deeply driven to prove herself despite hidden insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. She possessed a strong love for nature and exploration, having apparently left her former home behind to seek knowledge and purpose, though the journal never revealed where that home was. Though troubled by the mystery of her lost memories, Elora eventually found peace traveling the lands around Saltmarsh with newfound companions, embracing both adventure and the teachings of Wee Jas while searching for the truth of who she really is.
