* '''Jena the Dancer''', Escher's younger sister is a well renown entertainer, most known for her dancing and haunting melodies that she can draw out of her flute.  When she is not performing, Jena is very shy and rarely speaks with strangers.  Her brother is extremely protective of her & usually has her escorted by one of the caravan guards at all times.

* '''Taproot''', one of the lizardfolk from the swamps of Kuth.  Taproot acts as a guide for the caravan through Kuth, as well as an emissary between them and the hags, providing safe passage to a trading outpost located off the Andir Road.  Taproot is also well known as a very reliable courier.  Taproot is also famed as a peddler of sugar thistle candies that his wife & daughters in Kuth make for him to sell during his travels.

* '''The Mayor''', he was once Koril the Baker, but it is a Ree tradition that he simple be called "The Mayor" once voted into the position for the remainder of his days.  The Mayor is a large man, full of smiles & enthusiastic speeches.  His love for food & fine luxuries is well known.  The Mayor's power struggle with his direct adversary, The Mayor's Daughter (no relation) and her thieves guild is an often highlighted activity in the community.  The Mayor controls the town's watch and guardians.

−
* '''First Clerk Lila''', the Mayor's assistant who tends to nearly everything in his place other than giving public speeches & presenting recognition awards.  She is short & thin as a willow branch with stray colored hair that tumbles down her back to her knees.  She constantly wields a clipboard and carries a satchel of various documents and forms.  She wears a bulky pair of reading spectacles that was a gift to her from her late brother who had been a respected Nir scholar.

* '''The Mayor's Daughter''', her identity is a secret.  The original "Mayor's Daughter" was the daughter of the mayor from three generations ago & the founder of the thieves guild of Ree.  The title had stuck and been a constant source of annoyance to every Mayor since and amusement amongst the guild, though there are some who whisper that the Mayor's Daughter is in fact the originator & that she is undead or a sorceress who extends her life or that she steals & inhabits new bodies every so many years.  If there is any truth in the tales, it remains unproven one way or another. Little is known of the current Mayor's Daughter. Those who have seen her each describe her differently, but all say that she has long curly locks of raven hair and a presence much larger than her actual height. She is always accompanied by her two chief officers, called the "Right Hand" and the "Left Hand".

===[[Crew of the Lorian]]===
−
* '''The Wizard''', the current Wizard of Ree has only held his position for a year now.  His predecessor had only been in office for two years before he fell prey to one of his demonic conjurations, which had dragged him screaming into a portal before it had closed.  The Wizard before him had held the position for nearly a century before his body and magic could simply no longer sustain him and he died.  The current Wizard was known as Ben before assuming his new title.  He had been an Apprentice since he was only seven years old (he is now 52).  He was known to be brilliant & dedicated to the study of magic, but not very kind & never sought out human contact unless it was in pursuit of the study of magic.  Beneath the Wizard are the Apprentices, a number of wizards who study & reside in Ree.  Beneath them are the Hopefuls who have come to study in the tower.  Those worthy are raised to Apprentice and begin learning magic, others may become recognized by the Wizard as sages or scholars.

−
* '''Apprentice Marilyn''', representative from the Atheneum sent to meet with the Mayor regarding a problem affecting the town.  Marilyn is a pleasant & plump woman who's age is indeterminable.  She is one to quietly listen to everything, observe her surroundings & then appraise the situation in a soft voice.  She is very fond of children & always carries sweets to give to them.
+
===The Ravens===
−
* '''Apprentice Thane''', representative from the Atheneum sent to meet with the Mayor regarding a problem affecting the town.  Thane is egotistical and believes that anything he says should be deferred to as the greatest of wisdom.  While Thane is indeed a brilliant individual, he is unpleasant & most people avoid him when possible.
+
 
−
* '''Apprentice Thessa''', the first and only dwarf to have been fully raised to Apprentice in the past century (most dwarves never rise above Hopeful, though many receive education to become recognized by the Wizard as Sages or Scholars).  Thessa specializes in genealogy & Ree history as well as conjuration with an emphasis on elementals.  Thessa is far more friendly and outgoing than most Apprentices and can be frequently found at a dwarven tavern called the Iron Clad Dandy in the District.
+
* '''Matilde and Saul of the House of Ravens''', Gir mercenaries newly arrived in Ree.  Malda of Arik has burn scars on her face & Skull of the Point appears to have some trace of recent orc ancestry.  The two are generally obnoxious and usually drunk.  After proving to be terrible guests of the caravan, they have been banned passage with them in the future, making Ree their new home for now.<br>The two have now discarded their guises and revealed their true identities as members of the House of Ravens of Gir and have sworn their swords and lives to protecting Aidan.
−
* '''The Witch Naru''', representative from the Witches sent to meet with the Mayor regarding a problem affecting the town.  Naru is a young witch, her parents are the local cobblers in Ree. She is delighted with the wild & does not care to spend time in the town. Her impatient & impetuous nature had angered her superiors who had decided the best punishment would be to assign her to help and advise the Mayor with the town's problems for a time. While she would rather neglect this duty, she knows that the only way she'll ever escape it is to do her best - still she always seems to be bored with whatever mundane town issue that arises.
+
 
−
* '''Engineer Lias''', a short thin old man who's body mass seems to be primarily comprised of ears, neck & hair that always seems to have just survived some sort of electrical shock atop his head.  There is no creature in Ree that is more experienced in attempting to repair & disassembling Nir technology and artifacts than Lias.  He is deaf in one ear & has a nasty limp resulting from a fight with a kobold raider when he was young.  His methods tend to be a bit irrational to most observers as he kicks or bangs on things with tools more often than actually using the tool as was intended, but it cannot be denied that he has more success than others.
