Grael Ograin

 

Role in Story: Minor, Archeon guardian and husband of Biena.

Occupation: Archeon of the Watchers

Physical Description: Tall, broad, solid

Personality: Stoic, quiet until engaged, strategic.

Habits/Mannerisms: Laughs quietly after making small jokes or puns. 

Background:

 

Grael is tall, his shoulders holding his worn iron armor as if it is never taken off. A woolen gray cloak hangs from straps that criss cross his broad chest. At his waist a wide leather belt and a long thin blade sit easily, both worn with travel and use. Dark eyes that seem to take everything in, memorizing flaws and strengths, rest in his pensive face. He seems a quiet stoic man, until you have a couple glasses of rye and he will regale you with tales of past strategists, recite lore from ancient philosophers, or beat you at a game of eyes; all followed by his comforting laugh.

 

Grael is an archeon from the Tower, who spent his early years growing up in the farmlands of Olsztyn. He was always enthralled by magic, though he had no ability with it. When his reached a proper age, his father gave him permission to study at the Tower of the Watcher, which is the school for archeons. He learned quickly, and spent most of his time training and studying, never choosing to watch over a wizard or leave on a hunt, until Biena visited. She came to gain control over her wylding magic when she was in her late 20th cycles. He was drawn from his studies for the first time since his youth. She enjoyed the advances and attention from the younger archeon, and they became romantically entangled. When she gained the position of Luminar and left the Tower for the road with her old Wanderer companions, Grael came with her.

Grand Ballroom

A large dance hall in the Nobles Quarter of Ferryport. It is frequented by the influential and powerful. You must have an invitation or be a member to attend any function.

Gray Market

Ferryport is a port town. Everything that enters the harbor for sale has its tariffs and taxes applied before it leaves the ship. But things often find their way into the city by other means, bypassing those legal fees. The Grey Market is how those smugglers offload wares. It is never in the same place twice, often switching from derelict house to derelict house in Fish Town. Some believe that the Kantori family runs the Gray Market, but no one has ever proven these accusations.

For all the things that can be found in the city’s main markets, some things are better bought in the shadows. The Gray Market is where these things can be found for the right price . . . if you can find it. The Market is located in the sewers below Fish Town. The right amount of silver coins in the right hands will open the way for those seeking hard to find or illegal merchandise.

Great Chasm

The rift in the mountains along the Aerlon River near the Barren Sea. It was created during the Great War by the destructive magics used.

Greystone

The Red Guard home base in Kowal.

It is also the prison that holds captured mages. It was destroyed in 5706 in an event that many can not even remember clearly.

It is adjacent to the Walled Tower, the home of Baron Zadeku.
