FAMILY & NPC's

Family

Dalinar Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Father

Skills
Business: 75
Medicine: 80
Necromancy: 30
Negotiation: 65

Biography
Milana's father is a shadow of his former self. He is focused, driven, and even obsessed with his work to the point of ignoring anything and everyone around him. He is skilled in his work and treats his patients with a calm and reassuring manner, but many have noted that his eyes no longer hold the same passion and fire they once had. Still, his dress and etiquette are as precise and clean as ever before, his demeanor one of calm control, and his voice never falters or wavers no matter how dire the situation. If one had not known him before they would not suspect the changes that he has undergone since the death of his wife and subsequent sickness of his only daughter.

More often than not Dalinar is found in his clinic located in the West Wing of the Terras Family Estates. He only ever surfaces for food and sometimes rests.

Evona Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Mother

Biography
Milana's mother is now deceased, having died 20 years ago due to an unknown illness. She was known to be the light of the family, the reason Dalinar lived, and was the main reason that there is a greenhouse located on the family estates. She loved life, baking, and flowers, and that love is strongest in Kuvar, the youngest son of the Terras Family.

Jebal Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Older Brother
Age: 35

Skills
Business: 60
Medicine: 55
Necromancy: 40
Negotiation: 80

Biography
Jebal was always a rather serious boy, even from a young age. He idolized his father and loved his mother dearly. If Evona's death broke Dalinar it only served to harden Jebal who turned from serious to inscrutable. He is the successor of the family clinic and has taken on the mantle of leadership within the clinic almost fully at this point. When Milana grew sick it was Jebal who encouraged his father to seek out... other methods of healing, and why the family began to incorporate portions of Necromancy into the family business. This, however, is not well known as both Jebal and his father fear that were it known that they used the magic, even subtly, on their patients it may cause a rift between them and the townsfolk.

He has grown ever more distant from Milana as she has taken over the role of Vassal to the Family Estates. She isn't sure if it is because of her illness, or perhaps her position overseeing the affairs of the kinship. In any case, the two rarely speak, with Jebal keeping to the clinic and his own rooms within the manor.

Seraphina Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Jebal's Wife
Age: 22

Skills
Baking: 50
Herbalism: 65
Medicine: 40

Biography
Seraphina is a good woman, pretty though not overly beautiful. She and Jebal became close when she worked as an assistant in the clinic. Where Jebal was cold and distant she was warm and inviting. In some ways, she is his opposite, and when they are together the normally hard man seems to open up, if only slightly. She still assists with the clinic to this day, taking up the role Evona left vacant with her passing. She now utilizes the herbs in the greenhouse for baking medicinal bread and other goods to help the healing of patients of the clinic. Because of this she and Kuvar have grown somehow close.

Kuvar Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Younger Brother
Age: 23

Skills
Herbalism: 50
Gardening: 65
Potion Making: 60

Biography
Kuvar is quiet, not shy exactly but distant in a way that isn't standoffish. He is closer to a shadow than a true person, quiet and seems to fade into the background. In many ways Kuvar feels responsible for the state of the Terras Family. Had he not been born then perhaps their mother would have survived. If he had been with Milana when she fell, maybe she would still be able to walk. The guilt of these thoughts have lead the man to seclude himself in the greenhouse mostly, tending the flowers and herbs there, and assisting the clinic with salves and potions for the patients.

Katalina Terras

Status: Personal NPC
Relation: Aunt on Father's Side

Skills
Acrobatics: 80
Weapon (Daggers): 75
Leadership: 70
Mesmer: 65
Necromancy: 60
Semblance: 50
Stealth: 100

Katalina is a mystery, even to her own brother. She disappeared for years at a time and suddenly appeared again to pull Milana out of her stupor and set in motion the events that has lead the Terras Family to where they are now. She is like a force of nature, strong with her impact, indomitable. In the early months and years, she was invaluable to Milana's mental recovery. She continues to offer a guiding hand to the girl, never directly taking part in the rulings of the kinship, but instead poking and prodding where she feels the need.

Special NPC's

Richard Strous

Status: Companion NPC
Relationship: Manservant, Bodyguard
Age: 35-45

Skills
Weapon (Long-Bow): 50
Kinetics: 60
Leatherworking: 30
Smithing: 50
Weapon (Broad Sword): 60

Biography
Milana knows very little about her bodyguard. Richard Strass is a man of few words, and as such he has not felt the need to enlighten his employer beyond what was strictly necessary. What she has been able to get from him was that he was once a Vikinger, though some event in his past lead him to become a mercenary and all-around man for hire. He is a tall man, 6'3 with broad shoulders and thick arms. He might have been considered handsome were it not for the scar which runs from his hairline, across the bridge of his nose before hooking under his chin. Black scruff lines his squared jaw, a look which would have seemed unkempt were it not for the fact that the edges of his beard were cut with razor precision. Grey eyes that are almost blue lookout beneath a brow furrowed from a life of struggle, and there is a bit of grey beginning to appear at the temples of his short cut brown hair.

Richard, or Strous as he prefers to be called, is a man who takes every aspect of his job seriously. His skills alone have made him an asset to Milana, but more than that his bearing and demeanor add a level of threat and credibility to the woman that his mere presence has been shown to affect the outcomes of various engagements.

Conrad Dillinger

Status: Personal NPC

Skills
Artificing: 100
Clockwork Engineering: 75
Drawing: 50
Jewelcrafting: 45
Runeforging: 50
Teaching: 80

Biography
Conrad Dillinger was once a professor at the Academy of Atinaw where he taught the basics of Artificing and aided in the Runeforging courses as well. At early 70 years old his hair has gone from a dark brown to a mottled combination of grey and white. Thinning on top, likely from how often he runs his fingers through the wispy locks, it seems like most of the hair on his head has transferred to his rather substantial beard. Milana is not completely certain as to the extent of his history, however, he has told her that his life at the Academy had become dreadfully dull. He lived a good life, made good wages, and helped raise 4 children and 6 grandchildren, all of which were now grown and living their own lives. The letter Milana had sent was first passed around the academy, moving from one reluctant person to the next until it finally landed on his desk. So, with nothing left in the capital for him and rather tired of his regular routine, Conrad packed up his things and set off immediately to teach this Fjornis from a small town deep in Grimholdt territory.

Loras
Image


Description

Loras is a small town located on the road leading toward Kamdin. Because of this, the town acts as a waypoint for travelers on their way toward Grimholdt, and the services of the town are built to accommodate this. There are a number of inns and shops, and the town even has its own small market which is open to everyone to sell their wares. The surrounding farmland consists mostly of agricultural products which the town both live on and sales in equal measure. Given its location, there are a number of traveling merchants who hail from this small town, though because of its dependency on trade the town does not have many crafters of their own. The majority of the tools and building materials come from other towns within the territory.

Because Loras exists along the route to Kamdin it has taken to growing and providing several goods which would be classified as luxuries, and thus impractical for most towns to barter in. Such items include tea and tobacco, precious stones from Kamdin, and even ink and paper. The population of Loras is only 300, but the people of the town are warm and inviting and welcome weary travelers to stop on their way to rest and raise their spirits. Holidays and festivals are a large part of the town's culture, and the people of Loras celebrate with gusto, even for seemingly small events.

The Town Guard

Loras has it's own small guard force, though they only number around 20-30 men in total. They primarily act as lookouts on the walls and provide basic services in the town by settling domestic disputes and handling townsfolk or travelers who take to the wine a bit too heavily. Their armor, while not extravagant, is a mix of chain mail and leathers, and most members of the guard are trained in the basics of hand to hand combat, spearmanship, and crossbows. They are lead by Guard Captain Tyran Malkea, a former knight of the Order of the Brave. He retired from his time in the main city and settled in Loras where his children and grandchildren live.
