A Rolemaster Who's Who

This is an intended glossary of the important NPC's that the party meets in the Rolemaster campaign. So far it has been compiled solely by me, so some of the information is very sketchy and incomplete. At this point this file exists to keep track of the existence of important beings and to have some kind of general description for each of them.

Gabe

Ala-bulu*: A former N-mage and holder of the Pool of Power. He had many Shaman-like abilities. He was very good at seeing the future, maybe at looking through time in general. He was supposedly destroyed by the Master. He took the population of most a continent with him. He just "knew" things.
Alam: A fairly high level Bard who works for Kyer.
Alaston: A very powerful N-mage. He is commonly considered to be the mage that can output the most power. He started out as a Human Sorcerer. He has also exhibited a tendency to learn extremely quickly. He was the patron of the party until he was kicked out of this universe for investigating sensitive subjects. Lenora has said that he was merely a powerful tool that might have outlived its usefulness. One way or another, he has since been brought back to this universe by Istaleth bringing with him another extremely powerful N-mage in his apprentice Yed. Alaston was killed by Thrin in the Schyslor fiasco. Thrin says that there are fragments of him still but it remains to be seen whether or not the GoT is making any effort to bring Alaston back as of yet. Strengths: power output, power manipulation, items, destruction, and time. Weaknesses: souls.
Alastriel*: A daughter of the Goddess Espilieth. She has been following the Paladin Sandral around for quite some time now. She is apparently able to do just about anything dealing with people. She is also extremely strong. She has refused to believe anything that Lenora has told the party. Alastriel was completely destroyed by a mysterious being in black chain mail. This occurred in the party's command center with the entire party and the GoF as an audience.
Alere: One of the Ilhin. Alaston claimed that she was his patron. She created the Crystal of Life and the Tree of Life. She seems to have been the Ilhin most interested in this universe from what Barbos has told us of the past.
Alerial: A female Elven Ranger who is apparently infatuated with Wes and has been following the party around for awhile now. She has been given an indestructible Wyvern for a familiar by Istaleth and Silael. The party was informed by the GoF that the Elven Queen that Sandral had rescued a few years back was not the real macoy and suggested that Alerial would make a good queen. So, Alerial is now the Elven Queen.
Alikor*: An Elven Archmage that is now undead.
Alvon: One of the Elven Gods of a previous version of the universe. He was the God of Law.
Alyssa: Daughter of the Emperor. One of the people on Trennbar's list of do-things. She has an item given to her by Hastur that allows her to contact him at will.
Erin: A very powerful Demon that was trapped in a staff owned by Trennbar the Seer. As it turns out, Duren also happened to be drawing his power from this creature as well. Erin was eventually released by Alaston at Trennbar's request.
Astal-noth*: A very powerful dead mage. He was stopped from becoming a Lord of Darkness.
Balk: One of the Elven Gods of a previous reset of the universe. He was the God of Chaos.
Banaloth*: The Elven God of Death. He seems to often be at odds with Kaleth. He has opposed the party in the past. He has been in cahoots at one time or another with, Delni, Schyslor, and the High Council of Demons. He is gone now.
Barbos: Ancient creature that originated two universal resets ago. Had been convinced he was just a 500th level seer for most of the time the current universe has existed. He is the operator of our plane and has supposedly caused the death of the Eldest Dragon. Barbos now refuses to have any dealings with the party, apparently in fear of the momentous forces that supposedly surround us.
Belzod: A really good gates guy. He is a very powerful N-mage and also a member of the council of mages.
Bilbo*: A fairly powerful creature of Faery that was apparently put in the Glass Sword by Willins and Parson. It was released by Alaston and went through the Tree of Life complex with us. At one point it tried to destroy the soul of a very big Shadowlord and did apparently succeed in at least causing it great distress. Lenora has since told us that Bilbo was destroyed by some power, and has since been recreated or brought back in some way. Kaled-Ael apparently recreated him.
Bob*
Braldos: A fairly powerful Human Seer(~64th lvl) who helped the party look into the huge invisible army that only they could interact with.
Bubba: A sentient item carried by the Paladin. It can teleport about 1000 miles with the entire party and was given the ability to create green light by the Lords of Darkness.
Buford: Former god of a plane in another universe. He was apparently kicked out of his universe into this one after being stripped of much of his power. He is extremely adept at the creation of just about anything through the mechanism of directly affecting the universe with his mind.
Charol: Ancient god that was worshipped about 3000 yrs ago. It was apparently trapped in a casket protected by a Greater Seal until the party released it.
Clarisius: Young Male Dragon. He was being blackmailed by Delni who had his mother trapped.
Corscha: A female N-Mage. She is very good at making items. She is also a member of the Human Net. She is a fairly huge Law manipulator and she also possesses a significant seer ability.
Dale the Bard: A 20yr old student at the Bard's Guild who Hastur brought to the Elven Castle to meet Istaleth. One of thirty of so young bards who absolutely adore Prince Sandral and have created an entire spell list based solely upon him. Dale is now keeping an account of the party's actions at the request of an unspecified party. The Eldest Dragon has said that he has in the past shown an interest in Dale's career. The GoF say that Dale is definitely special in some way. It is certain that, if nothing else, Dale possesses inhuman skill in crafting breathtaking pieces of literature and music. Dale is now the Elven King.
Dalek: The best Elven fighter on the planet.
Damien: Apparently a member of the race as the being called Darwin. The party was referred to him as someone who was very skilled at using Void and at manipulating creatures that used Void. When the party first met him it was apparent that he had had little contact with the kinds of beings that the party was used to dealing with but with their help he has adapted admirably. He seems to be a being with power on the order of an Elven God.
Darwin: An extremely powerful being from another universe. Darwin seems to be a pale thin Human who levitates in a room in a castle somewhere in this universe. It is extremely adept at manipulating Power. It seems to rate somewhere around the level of a powerful Dragon in this particular area. It was first brought up to the party by Steve as something that could teach Hastur Void use. It has proved to be a fairly amiable entity that is very willing to bargain for abilities and items. Its prime interests are in abnormal usages of Power of any kind.
Delni: A Dharkivar that survived the last reset but has been acting like an extremely powerful N-mage. He was supposedly freed by the party from the Halls of Chaos. As of now we have been told repeatedly that Delni is not fully cognizant of all his capabilities as a full Dharkivar, whether this is indeed the case remains to be seen. Delni possesses an extremely puissant set of chainmail called White Chain. There are only purported to be 5 sets ever made and by all accounts, while wearing them a beings body cannot die.
Dragon Guy: A Human who has spent his entire life studying and otherwise learning about dragons. He has a castle not far from the Human castle. It is certain that he has spoken to more than one dragon and that he knows more about them than probably any other single mortal being. His castle is also one of the places the party went to when they travelled through the time gates. The questioning sessions with the Figurines revealed that this being is actually an alien mage of extreme power who entered our universe about five years ago. The universe was reset at that time to restrict his abilities. It is uncertain how aware he is of his previous state and whether or not he is currently seeking a return to his former power. One way or another he no longer resides in his castle.
Dralon*: An Elven fighter who worshipped Banaloth. The Glass Sword was created to enable him to kill a paladin of Kaleth's.
Dramael: Elven God of Chaos and Luck. Was insane until the paladin Sandral talked him out of it. According to Lenora Dramael is being used by some higher force. He gave Trennbar his leather glove apparently as a placebo to cure the Seer's insanity.
Duren: A very powerful Drow Magician. He possesses many puissant items that both protect him from elemental damage and allow him to more effectively cause it. He also has the ability to manipulate Raw Magic. At one time his power was tied to the demon Erin that was trapped in Trennbar's staff.
Elder Gods: Historically these are the Human Gods that have fallen out of fashion over the last couple centuries. See also Ilhin.
Eldest Dragon: Biggest dragon the party has ever seen sitting in the complex to the Tree of Life collecting items as people go by. It also stopped some people from continuing on at all. Another creature that the party revisited on their little jaunt through time. It gave the party the powerful item that allowed Istaleth to bring Alaston and Yed to this universe. It told the party it wanted to die the first time we met it, so we later sent Barbos to try and kill it. Only its physical body was destroyed freeing it to do whatever else it wanted.
Elven Gods: Seven beings put in charge of this universe by the Ilhin. Mostly worshipped by Elves. Three of them, Espilieth, Kaleth, and Sedenos, were around in the last reset.
Elven Queen*(Cimeril): The queen of the Elves. Resqued by the party.
Espilieth: The Elven Goddess of Magic and Healing. She is Alastriel's mother. Lenora says she is a pawn of higher forces.
Felice: Daughter of one of the Dukes of the Human continent. The GoT has told us that she is being used by a group of priests for what are presumably nefarious purposes.
Figurines, The: This is a group of 14 beings who function together almost as one being. As one they are on the power level of one of the GoT. They particularly known for their extremely skilled low power manipulations. They are known as the Figurines because the party's first interaction with them was to release them from the forms of small elven statuettes.
Folis: One of the Ilhin.
Galandrinos: An Elven Thief around 35th level a couple of years ago.
Gerif: One of the Ilhin. The patron god of the Archmage Tim. He is also the leader of the Ilhin according to Barbos.
Glan: The Bard Guildmaster. He is the founder of the entire Bard profession and he has always been the Bard Guildmaster. He seems to know as much about the party as Istaleth, if not more. He is Human and is at least 2500 yrs old.
GoF, The: The Gang of Four. Refers to the former alliance of Istaleth, Silael, Alaston, and Yed.
GoT, The: The Gang of Three. Refers to the alliance of Istaleth, Alaston, and Yed.
Granger: A fairly powerful N-mage. When Saluvian had greatly thinned the ranks of earthly N-mages Granger held the pool of power until Alaston was brought back. He is very good at making items. He is also good at manipulating minds, e.g. making them stronger and increasing comprehension. He is now the head of a fledgling Human Net of Mages. He is very good with large amounts of Power and is also a member of the council of mages.
Gregory: A coal-black Elf who has lived about 600 yrs. Since at least 500 yrs ago he claimed that he was being chased by an extremely powerful demon for some transgression which he has always been very vague about. He has been deceased for about a year now since this demon purportedly caught up with him.
Grey Guy: The Serpent which guards the Tree of Life is this being's servant. He has said that he is in charge of certain things about this universe of which the Tree of Life is just one. He is extremely recalcitrant about revealing his true nature/job.
Grind: An Elven God in the reset previous to this one. He was the God of Void.
Haal: A mature female Dragon. She is the sister of Clarisius and was also being blackmailed by Delni.
Hastur: An Elven Bard who has lived for about 750 years. He is very Immortal and can speak, read, and write any language. Hastur's Magic power is channeled from a powerful Law-ful being and is changed within his soul so its source is not readily apparent. Hastur has switched to the Archmage's Guild. He has also gained the ability to manipulate Void power and is currently exploring that. Very recently Hastur has apprenticed himself to the Figurines.(See Misc: Figurines)
Ilhin: A race of beings that may have been one of the precursors to Man a couple of universes ago. Now there appear to be eight of them still around who have refined their use of Power, Magic in particular, such that they are now commonly called Elder Gods.
Ilmaren: The Elven God of Forestry. Lenora has told the party that he is not really an Elven God.
Iraschius: A female Dragon. She is the sister of Clarisius.
Istaleth: Istaleth is commonly considered to be the best mortal mage there ever was. He was perhaps the most inherently gifted mortal ever born. As a child he was taught by a variety of powerful spellcasters. He is around 2,000 yrs old. He was destroyed once by Wes's staff that might have contained some of the power of a Lord of Darkness. Istaleth was subsequently brought back into being by Kaled-Ael at the behest of the Paladin Sandral. This was ostensibly done as a gesture of goodwill but it is some members of the partys' opinion that Istaleth is just a plant of Kaled-ael's. After his reincarnation Istaleth quickly took over things back at home and became the undisputed leader of the GoF. Even to them his intellect is stunning and they seem to almost always defer to him when there is any dispute. Strengths: power manipulation, defense, knowledge, and items. Weaknesses: (none).
Jack: Jack is a seller of items on a huge scale, both in terms of power and variety of ability. He has dropped by the party's castle a couple of times.
Kaled-Ael: An extremely powerful being who is supposed to be dead a couple of times over. He now apparently resides in/on a universe of his own creation having duped Espilieth into thinking she had destroyed him. He claims to be bigger than any two Elven Gods. He is apparently one of a group of beings that have powers beyond all real comphrension. He has claimed to have the ability to make everyone in our universe "happy". At this point it must be assumed that he is just another grotesquely powerful being suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Kaleth: Most commonly Kaleth is the Elven God of War/Fighting. It has been brought to the party's attention by Lenora that this is not the case. She has said that Kaleth is the God of Destruction or something very similiar.
Kalos*: The former High Priest of Sedenos. He sort of gave the party sanctuary after they raided Alaston's stronghold for many items. He took Alaston's robes and multiplier and then gave us some items and favors. He was subsequently obliterated by the Shifter.
Kelim: A fairly powerful mage imprisoned in the Halls of Chaos. He is a pretty good summoner and is really good at blocking Magic. He is Human. He was freed by Hastur and Buford. It turns out he is around an 1800 lvl spell caster who has a lot of both Magic and Void power.
Kyer: The former head of the Elven mages. He is about a 64th level Archmage and he is the leader of the mysterious group that was keeping tabs on the party. He is now one of the best bartenders in the Elven kingdom.
Leonard: The apprentice of the party. According to Trennbar he has the greatest potential to be a mage on the planet.
Lenora: An insanely powerful female who has her own universe and has given the party immense amounts of important imformation about the universe and the powerful creatures that reside therein. She has told the party about some sort of hidden agenda possessed by beings even she cannot fathom of which we are somehow a part.
Loram*: One of the beings that Thrin invited to this universe. He now has decided to accept the invitation and is now living with the party in a castle on the Elven continent. Loram was apparently destroyed by the Faeries and then destroyed again by Malin.
Lord of Darkness
Malin: An enigmatic being who appears to know every sentient being. Period. It has been around forever as far as we can tell, wandering to and fro. Right now it has taken the form of a fighter who goes around swinging a two-handed silver sword at Mages he has taken a disliking to. Malin has the ability to, literally, walk anywhere he wants. So far, no being we have met has been both willing and able to explain Malin's existence or abilities.
Mark the Maitre'de: The maitre'de at the best restaurant on this planet, perhaps the best on the plane. Malin loves it.
Master The: The former head of the High Council of Demons. It recently made a big bid for power and destroyed at least one member of the council and came to our plane. Appaently on its entrance to this plane it destroyed the most powerful mage currently resident on this planet, Ala-bulu. It has since been trapped here by the remaining members of the council. They have caused events that have made travel between planes extremely dificult and have made manipulation of Magic very dificult on this plane in specific. We now know that The Master was controlled by Schyslor and made to cause this havoc based on some unknown agenda.
Matthias: A Half-Elven Rogue. He is an extremely efficient swinger who is perhaps the equal of the Paladin. He has items and innate abilities that both protect him from physical harm and allow him to more effectively dish it out. Matthias has traded in a bunch of his more puissant items to gain special abilities from the GoT. Among these abilities are a greatly increased ability to deal with physical damage and any related ill effectst that might occur from it. Matthias possesses an ability to directly affect reality with his mind. Some of the more notable things he can do with this are, permanently raising his stats, healing himself, and moving.
Methweiyewn: A powerful Elven Archmage. Methweiyewn has had many changes made to him that augment all of his natural Archmage abilities. His mind is greatly expanded, he has been given many natural spell lists, and his Archmage ability to have additional base lists has been increased. He also is a natural gater and this ability has been greatly increased as well. He has a very intimate knowledge of planes and gates and how to both create and manipulate them. He has been disassociated from the plane and it is suspected that he might have some ability to manipulate Void power directly. He has been given the ability to manipulate huge amounts of Xiondu which has somewhat stunted his gating abilities. He is now very adept at blocking anything having to do with Void and at blocking Magic.
Milim: One of the Ilhin.
Nemenon: Nemenon is a 60th level Healer who is the Human King's main Mage. He is a natural Healer and he has a lot of power. He is a member of the Human Net.
Norus: Member of the council of mages. He is very good with Minds.
Palekim: One of the Ilhin. According to Barbos, Palekim at some time caused some sort of dissension among the Ilhin.
Parson: An apprentice of Kaled-Ael. He is supposedly one of the beings resposible for the changes made to the party members when we entered Kaled-Ael's complex in search of Alaston's soul. According to Kaled-Ael he manipulates the universe by his force of mind as does Kaled-Ael himself.
Reklir: One of the Ilhin.
Saluvian: A very powerful user of Law who we met on another planet in this solar system. He is over 1000 years old and since being brought to our planet has proceeded to take over. He has significantly culled the number of N-mages on this planet, maybe on the entire plane. Despite this he is severely held in check by the GoF, especially Yed. Yed destroyed Saluvian. Hastur had Darwin bring Saluvian back.
Sandral: Prince of the Human continent and current heir(?) to the throne. He is an Elven Paladin who is an extremely proficient swinger. All his equipment and spell-abilities are geared to fighting many bad things, and living through it. He has a huge number of spell-points and a sickening CON. He swings a bastard sword that can be configured to do just about anything. After the visit by the Lords of Darkness Sandral has a huge variety of spell lists. He has also gained a significant ability to manipulate Holy power.
Sar: One of the Ilhin.
Schyslor: The most puissant Summoner of his time and a powerful user of Void power. We had believed that he was destroyed for learning how to summon members of the High Council but apparently this is not the case. He has been a cohort of Banaloth's for some time now and they are the cause of The Master's sudden defection and arrival on our plane. Schyslor has for some time possessed the ability to summon any member of the High Council and has proven his ability to come close to matching the GoF in power. Schyclor was destroyed by the GoF. He then returned to further his grand plan of universal unification. So far this seems to have included removing all unused planar sockets and merging most of the planes into one huge meta-plane. He has somehow derived an enormous amount of power from this occurence and is now beyond the level of the GoT.
Sedenos: The Elven God of Creation. He is rumored to be the most powerful of them and the defacto 'leader'. Lenora says he is often used as a pawn by some higher force.
Seel: One of the Elven Gods in the last reset. He was the God of Chaos.
Serpent The: The Serpent is a being that guards the complex leading to the Tree of Life and the Tree itself. It is extremely knowledgeable but it does not have as much contact with the outside world as it would like. It is willing to trade information on literally any subject if the price is right. Apparently it is very well respected by the rest of at least our universe.
Severin: A statue guarding a cave where the Sword of Varda was.
Shifter The: Member of the High Council of Demons. Came to our plane for a while after the Master went ape-shit. He has supposedly since wiped out the entire upper hierarchy of Sedenos's followers. It is uncertain if he is still on this plane. We have now determined that he was ordered by The Master to do this.
Silael: An extremely powerful Elven N-Mage. He is in charge of all the Elven Mages who work for the Queen. He was apparently destroyed by a First Order communication beam that was trying to talk to Wes. He was recently brought back by the Dragon Thrin at the behest of Kaled-Ael. Strengths: healing, stats, power output, knowledge, and items. Weaknesses: time. Silael is has now become the Elven God of Death.
Sildar(a): An enigmatic being that visited all the party members except for Methweiyewn, Trennbar, and Sandral. It spoke whatever language the person it was talking to was comfortable with and was very interested in the party as a whole. It said that it had been 'gone' for a very long time and had just recently returned. It appeared as sometimes male and sometimes female. One of the Figurines we released has informed us that Sildar(a) is of a race of beings that left this universe long ago. Over time, four of them have come back. They are insanely skilled at manipulating Magic, able to cause effects that would commonly require huge amounts of power with very little power.
Simon: A fairly low level Druid who works for Hastur taking care of the Earthnode.
Steve: An Elven mage in the Elven Palace. He is an extremely good natural teleporter, perhaps the best on the plane. Lenora has said that he is very unstable. Steve is able to manipulate all five types of Power. He is especially good at moving with them but he can also use them to do other things as well. Steve says that, after Schyslor, he can probably use more Void power than any other being on our plane. He felt confident of his ability to use more than 25,000 points of Void power and was worried that he might be able to use more than was flowing through the local area, about 50,000 points.
Strienel: The Elven Goddess of Hunting and Bows. Lenora has told the party that Strienel is not really an Elven Goddess.
Szeschwan Beef: A very important general on the Human continent. He was one of the beings on the list that Silael gave the party.
Tala: A 'female' assassin created by Istaleth. She was imprisoned in the Halls of Chaos until the party freed Delni. Delni then freed her.
Thane: Often referred to as just The Seeress, Thane is a very powerful mage who works for one of the other elven kingdoms on the Elven continent. Thane has some kind of mystical connection with the universe that provides her with unique, but random, insights into various topics. She is a fairly close acquaintance of Hastur.
Theer: A powerful Law-using being. It shares a portion of its soul with Hastur.
Thelden*: One of the Elven Mages who watches us.
Thinros: An Elven N-mage who is really good at hiding. He worships Dramael and helped the party in the past by helping us get the Blood Guardians from the Human capital to the Elven capital. He was paid the Book of Chaos(?) for his services. He is also called the Blue Mage.
Thrin: A Dragon who waited millenia for us to arrive at Saluvian's planet and meet him so he could give us each one item and a boon. Thrin has been given the ability to become Human with no expenditure of power and/or loss of power because of his new form. This has apparently enabled him to dramatically increase his personal power. Apparently there are many restrictions placed on Dragons, limiting everything from their stats to the range of their personal awareness. These restrictions do not apply to Humans who happen to have the abilities of a Dragon. He is now on a power level somewhat near to Barbos'. Thrin has ascended once again, this time to unknown levels.
Tim (Alyn the Great): A Human N-Mage who lived a long time ago. He is credited with the invention of the non-detection list. He worshipped Gerif.
Tranjor: One of the Ilhin. According to Barbos, Tranjor was displeased with Alere for creating the Crystal of Life. So he supposedly stole it and used it to warp Humanity in some way. Apparently, because of this usage the Crystal subsequently is shattered. The pieces fly through the Multiverses and everything they touch is turned into demons. Later Tranjor goes on to destroy the Tree of Life and is himself broken by the other Ilhin. It has been suggested that the Lords of Darkness are actually pieces of Tranjor.
Trennbar: Member of the party. Human Seer who is very good at being a Seer. He has an item that doubles his Seer level and an item that allows him to cast his spells cross-planar. He was also chosen by the party to be the recipient of an item (Magical) identifying ability given by Alaston. He has been convinced he is insane and needs a glove given to him by Dramael to function normally. The glove is a powerful channeling item that can cast, or has on it, a very powerful Essence spell. Trennbar now has the ability to divine knowledge about the universe naturally. This ability seems mostly limited by Trennbar's ability to ask the right questions. He won.
Wes: Memeber of the party. Elven Monk who has developed many and been given many thief-like abilities. He is an excellent thief as well as being a decent fighter. His soul has been tied to him very strongly and he has been changed so it is easier to make meta-physical changes to him. He possesses an extremely powerful item of Void in the form of lockpicks. He also exudes some Void power himself.
Willins: An apprentice of Kaled-ael.
Xavier: The familiar of Hastur. Xavier was originally a homonculous but now he is one of the biggest Xiondu users on the planet. He has a special ability to be able to play any sport extremely well.
Xerce: Xerce is an assassin created by Banaloth. He is extremely good at his job. He claims to be able to "take" an Elven God. It is interesting to note that although Banaloth created him, Xerce is free to take contracts from anyone able to pay his fee. Xerce even claimed that he would accept a contract to off Banaloth.
Yed: The former apprentice of Alaston. He was basically created from scratch by Alaston, as a result, at the tender age of 1 1/2 he is on the power level of Silael, Alaston, and Istaleth. He has been billed by Alaston as "almost as powerful as I am, and almost as skilled as Istaleth." He seems extremely touchy about the subject of his age. It is dificult to say what Yed is particularly good at but we have been told that he knows many tricks that the others don't. Strengths: power manipulation, knowledge, power output and destruction. Weaknesses: healing, higher order Magic, items
Zofran: The apprentice of Delni. He has been studying under Delni for a couple of years now. He too is a specialist in intra-universal and dimensional travel and subjects. He is on the level of the GoT as well.

* - This denotes a being that we currently believe to be dead.
