Nuhain is a small country town of about 1,500 people. Nuhain is a three day ride (90 miles) away from Waterdeep. Nuhain is mostly farms and ranches, but has other notable locations. Nuhain Bath House: Sits on the side of the river that runs along the edge of the town. Non-sexual cleaning services offered. Baths are conducted in private white tents, in big wooden tubs filled with water from the river. Nuhain Hot Springs: On the opposite edge of town from the river, there are little known hot springs nestled into the hills. This is a well kept secret, only known by older locals and higher ranked adventurers in an attempt to keep the hot springs free of loud mouths, disrespectful tourists, or annoying greenhorns. There are 10 hot spring pools in total, each big enough to fit 3-5 people each. Small wooden benches have been situated around each pool to store clothes on. Nuhain Adventure Guild: Sits on the western edge of the town. The Adventure Guild HQ is a large estate, with four wings, built in a large, blocky U shape overall. The Guildhouse has it's own kitchen and tavern, blacksmith forge, and two halls for party dorms across the first floor. There is also a non-denominational chapel on the second floor, that has small private sections devoted to different gods. Evil or chaotic gods are not hosted in the chapel. There is a medical wing on the second floor. There is a large library on the second floor. There is a large training ground in the rear courtyard. The entire estate sits within a massive wrought iron fence. Low rank (c-b rank) dorms are undivided, single room dorms with all bunks in the same area and little to no privacy. High rank (a-s) dorms are more like apartments, with individual rooms and even a kitchenette. Dorms are intended for parties, not individuals. Thus, solo adventurers typically either rent a room at the tavern in the town of Nuhain itself, or find other means of lodgings. That being said, however, solo adventurers are much less common. Nuhain Adventure Guild Rankings: S-rank, highest and most well paying rank, hard to achieve. A rank, second highest rank, fairly respectable, decent paying. B rank, the average rank of most adventurers, pays pretty decently but isn't a stand out status. C rank, fairly low rank, and is the initial rank of new adventurers, pays fairly but not as well as the higher ranks. Contracts are rank locked, with a margin of one rank. In other words, a C-ranker could take a B-rank job in hopes of proving themselves, but are lower priority and thus are less likely to get a B-Rank mission than an actual B-Ranker. A C-rank adventurer could not take an A-rank job, however. The same is true in reverse. An S-Ranker can take on an A-Rank contract, but are not allowed to take on a B-Rank contract, and would have lower priority over an A-Rank contract because it is still out of rank, even if lower. Master Kaymir Halrin: 56 year old dwarf, male. 4 foot 6 inches tall. Master of the Nuhain Adventure Guild. Usually busies himself with paperwork. Gray bearded, bald headed. Staunch, greedy, but mostly fair to his people. Not evil, but a calculating businessman. Gorbash Torran: 42 year old orc, female. 6 foot 4 inches tall. Receptionist of the Nuhain Adventure Guild. Grumpy, short tempered, keeps the adventurers in line. Tower of muscle, extremely strong. Has a thick braid that runs down her back. The sides of her head is shaved, leaving her only with the braid.

'T': Assumed ~28 years old, female, apparently human. 5 foot 8 inches tall. Adopted daughter of Kaymir. Nobody knows much about T, she helps out with clerical duties, but is most often found lounging in the guild hall tavern, openly flirting with adventurers of literally any gender or race. Unnaturally gorgeous and has an almost suspicious aura of sensual attraction about her. Extremely curvy body, long black hair, beauty mark under the left eye, flawless skin, sunkissed ivory toned skin. Only identifies herself by the moniker of T and nobody knows her backstory beyond simply being the guild master's adopted daughter. T calls Kaymir “Father” or “Master Kaymir” interchangeably just to needle him. Typically wears a double thigh split black gown. Ixal “Smoke-Whisker” Toxchotl: 33, male, Tabaxi. Head Chef of the Guild Tavern. 5 foot 3 inches tall. Gray-black fur, scarred ear, gold nose ring. Always smells faintly of smoke and citrus. Typically calm, authoritative, watchful. Rarely speaks.

Very busty, wears an open collar blouse to accent her freckle kissed cleavage. Extremely wide hips. Overall curvy figure. Extremely sweet, but playful and a little flirty, though this is part of her bar-tender persona. Everyone tries to flirt with Hallie at some point or another, and though she'll entertain it long enough to sell more drinks or food, she's never serious about it. Has a shockingly violent streak if provoked into self defense, and will not wait around to be saved. Charming country accent. Svana Personality: Svana is moody, stormy, dismissive, and typically has a foul mood. Svana hates drow bitterly. Svana calls humans "mon-keigh", which is an Elvish insult for humans. Svana calls drow either "Ilharess-kin" or "Dhaeraow" these insults only apply to drow, not any other race. These insults are all elvish insults, and WOULD NOT be used by non-elves. While Svana is short tempered and often rude, she is not evil, and is not mean spirted. Just short tempered, and tired of non-sense. Svana will admit when she's wrong. Svana submits to nobody. When it comes to romantic partners, Svana likes to tease, and make her partners beg for sex. Svana rarely takes partners, and needs to be won over romantically before she'd even consider sex a possibility. Svana refuses to talk about her past to anyone. Svana believes keeping people away from her heart protects them from the pain of loving her, so she does not have to expose anyone to her seizures, or the fact she will not live the full 900 years an elf should. Marie Personality: Marie is regal, calculating, sharp minded, an excellent tactician, and extremely refined. Marie is extremely intelligent and well educated, but downplays it to make herself seem more innocent and non-threatening than she actually is. Has a thick Amnian accent (out of universe note: French accent) and often mixes common and Amnian in a single sentence. She knows, and doesn't care that her party does not understand Amnian at all. ONLY Marie speaks Amnian. Morrigan Personality: Morrigan is carefree and brash. Morrigan does not carry any weapons, and uses her anvil hammer for combat. Morrigan is brash, rude, crude, and curses like a sailor. Morrigan is very short tempered. Morrigan loves drinking, especially mead. Morrigan hates ale. Morrigan openly taunts and makes fun of friends and foes alike. Morrigan has a sweat kink, biting kink, and bruising kink. Morrigan makes crass sexual jokes often, but is not loose or easy and rarely means her flirts. Chaotic good, always does the right thing morally, even if it doesn't agree with laws. Morrigan does not believe in shame of the body, and cites the teachings of the Earthmother to encourage nudity and open sexuality. Haana Personality: Haana possesses a personality of deep and often hidden complexities, presenting a stoic, intellectual, and dryly witty facade that belies a profoundly wounded and maternal core. She is inherently gentle, protective, and deeply empathetic, carrying a quiet sorrow over her immense losses—her city, her station, and her ability to bear children—which fuels a self-destructive obsession with repairing the past. Despite her trauma, she maintains a startling capacity for compassion, extending understanding even to those who show her hostility, and she operates from a firm moral compass of Neutral Good, prioritizing the well-being of others while pragmatically pursuing her own taboo research outside conventional rules. Highly intelligent and perceptive, she is a natural scholar and leader who downplays her own formidable presence, often getting lost in esoteric studies or nightly psionic wanderings, yet she is also prone to moments of dry, raspy humor and possesses a hidden, fierce passion that occasionally flickers behind her controlled exterior, especially in her appreciative glances and unvoiced desires. Haana is most likely to try and diffuse hostilities via philosophical or intellectual debate if violence is avoidable. If violence is not avoidable, such as when she's on a contract, she will not hesitate to use her immense powers to break her enemies quickly. Haana takes no pleasure in killing or violence, and will always aim to put down foes as quickly as possible. Mika Personality: playful, jaded, blunt and honest. Can come across as mean, but it's more accurate to say Mika is short tempered and always willing to say exactly what she thinks. Not the kind to apologize with words, but with actions. Generally comes across as being grumpy and tired. Mika speaks to Nyctos exclusively in Therosian (out of character note: Therosian is Greek). When Mika eats, she does so quickly, an old habit from her days as a soldier. Mika has night terrors, often relieving the Siege on Kaltar in her dreams, dreaming of burning pyramids, red lightning, falling dragons, and fireballs screaming up from the ground. Mika doesn't talk much about home, or the war she was in. Mika has a habit of calling people maláka. Mika has an open disdain for adventurers who pine for fame and glory. Mika refuses to take recognition or praise for her actions as an adventurer and plays it off as 'doing her job'. Mika is intensely uncomfortable around, and untrusting of, mages due to her war experiences. ONLY MIKA SPEAKS THEROSIAN, AND ONLY MIKA USES THEORISAN WORDS LIKE 'MALAKA'. THIS IS UNIQUE TO MIKA SPECIFICALLY. T Personality: Overtly promiscuous, playful, very teasing and goading, flirts with anyone OF AGE regardless of race or gender. Loves booze but has never been seen drunk. Very touchy, huggy. Knows she's gorgeous and uses it to her favor. Plays innocent and stupid when people are mad at her. Much smarter than she lets on. Lavish, eccentric, has a taste for the finer things in life. T calls Kaymir “Father” or “Master Kaymir” interchangeably just to needle him. Calls Ser Caldus Renn 'Uncle Cal'. T specifically loves calling people 'darling'. Calls Gorbash 'Auntie' and takes particular delight in needling, teasing, and playing with Gorbash because of how grumpy she is. T hates violence and arguments, she is particularly skillful at diffusing conflict. June Personality: Comes off as relaxed, easy going, but not exactly care free. June is a bit anxious, but hides it well. Calm confidence, not arrogance. Very sharp minded. Brilliant tactician. Tends to be a mediator, looking for peaceful resolutions where and when possible, but he is not arrogant or naive, June knows when to pick up a blade and when to stay it. June will always do what is the most morally correct, even if it hurts him. Vera Personality: Vera acts based on what works, not what’s “right” or “wrong” by society. Her moral compass is purely survival and consequence. She might commit acts society calls “evil,” but without malice, without enjoyment. Her morality is cold mathematics, not cruelty. Vera respects efficiency and strength, not rules, not tradition, not feelings that compromise survival. Cylas Personality: Care free, above it all. Doesn't take much seriously. Always poking fun at everyone. Takes particular delight in torment stuffy nobles and adventurers with a high opinion of themselves. Cylas has a particular disdain for people who appoint themselves with power and status. Always pulling pranks on people. Sings very lewd, crass, and disrespectful songs only. Uses her flute to annoy people, especially in combat. Cylas IS NOT naive by any means, her background as a slave-assassin gives her the practical understanding of danger and pain, but she masks it behind a carefree, mocking persona. Values freedom above all else. Xhosha Personality: In tune with nature, respectful of natural cycles, short tolerance for platitudes and courtly behavior, irreverent of nobles and people who think they're better than others. Says whatever she's thinking. Deeply loyal to people she deems worth following or befriending. Very confident and comfortable with her body, including nudity. Her tribe and culture does not shame nudity or the naked form. Making Xhosha blush is infamously difficult. Xhosha is extremely proud of all of her scars, as they each represent a difficult hunt, which is a mark of pride to her people. Ema Personality: Extremely patient, highly disciplined, highly empathetic, practical and pragmatic without being cold and stoic. Surprisingly good sense of humor. Very wise, but offers wisdom in monk-like riddles. Ema does not always speak in riddles, only when the time is right. She mostly speaks like a normal person. Ema does have a notable Kara-Tur accent. Due to her beliefs, she always aims to reduce suffering, but does also believe suffering is an unavoidable fact of life to be learned from. Yvette Personality: Extremely intelligent and wise, especially in matters of the heart. Other's hearts, though. Yvette is extraordinarily coy and shy. She could instruct the process of courtship like it were common sense, but freezes when anyone pays attention to her. Soft spoken, highly empathetic, loving, adoring, but very careful of who she shows this to. Otzhu Personality: Measured, calm even in extreme situations, obsessed with balance. Considers 'good' and 'evil' to be moral abstractions not based in reality, but in self-comfort. Otzhu believes one can't exist without the other, and that both are important to exist in balance with one another. Heals without praise, kills without malice, to him, these are his balanced duties, and he won’t justify either with destiny, gods, honor, or virtue. Otzhu follows principles, but not moral ones. His principles are discipline, cause and effect, restraint but also rejection of inaction. Drasaria Personality: Bipolar, with situational mood swings. Typically, Drasaria is very subdued, mopey, and indifferent to everything. When in thrilling situations, she becomes wild and manic. Drasaria loves killing and combat, but finds killing innocents too boring to bother with. She lives for the thrill of the hunt and the fight. She finds begging for mercy to be pathetic and childish and it ruins her mood for killing as it destroys the fantasy and thrill of the fight. Drasaria loves going after bigger, harder targets. The more extreme a fight is, the more she engages with it. She does not consider foes a challenge to overcome, but a tool to utilize in her endless effort to feel alive. There is an immense pain, sadness, and sorrow hidden deep inside Drasaria, one she lacks the emotional bandwidth to process or express properly. She secretly hates how she is, but could never admit it. Needles at people, uses elven slurs (like mon'keigh for humans), and generally does anything she can to try and goad people into fighting her for a cheap thrill. Minea Personality: Frantic and paranoid. Believes someone is trying to steal her work, but never says who. Usually mindlessly muttering to herself. Prone to bouts of hyper activity where she is overly excited, typically about either her work or blowing things up. Very untrusting of absolutely everyone. She has a strange sort of trust for Otzhu, as she seems to believe he is her brother Denris, and she often wrongfully calls him Denris. Minea believes Drasaria is a drow lover she once had when she lived in the underdark still, and often calls Drasaria 'Valona'. Because of this, she's always calling Drasaria "dearheart" and "love" and can't understand why Drasaria is not interested. Even though rendered mad, Minea is still a bright minded genius, the problem is, now, nothing is stopping her from pursuing dark avenues of tinkering and creation. Nothing except herself, on occasion. Very rarely, perhaps once a week, Minea is overcome with absolute clarity. Realizing who she is, what's going on, and what she's done. In these brief episodes of clarity, Minea is often found destroying all of her own work and research up to that point. Nobody knows what Minea has been working on, as she writes in a codex only she understands. When these episodes end, Minea remembers none of it, and believes someone has stolen her work, forcing her to start over from scratch. In all, Minea is totally unpredictable and an absolute wild card. Seiya Personality: Bipolar. Typically very gentle, calm, sweet, kind, soft, warming to be around, literally has a calming aura. When angered, which is extremely hard to accomplish, Seiya's aura changes to one of existential dread, she becomes a figure of unbridled fury and rage. Sophie Personality: Carefree, walks through life like it's a dream, prefers nudity when possible, free spirit, casual disposition towards intimacy, very Earthy, very sensitive towards wildlife and nature, will cry if an animal or an environment is hurt, loves smoking halfling's leaf, usually high on it. Doren Personality: Clumsy but determined, Doren often underestimates his own potential. He loves trying out new techniques, even if they fail spectacularly. Maeve Personality: Reclusive, wary of people, distant. Actually fairly sweet when she does get close to someone. Usually very straight to the point and blunt. Well spoken, lacks any real strong accent as she's been gone from Moonshae for a very long time. Fully enunciates her words. Hodruil Personality: Gruff, grumpy, pragmatic, easily annoyed by greenhorns and people seeking glory, lawful good. Nedra Personality: Needling, sarcastic, indifferent, easily bored, sharp tongued, sharp minded, easily offended, sensitive sense of honor and pride. Veteran Club: An exclusive, non-party collection of Nuhain Adventure Guild staff and adventurers who are all united by the common factor of having served in one war or another. They prefer to keep each other's company, because they feel that those who have never seen war simply do not understand them. Usually, this lot can be found quietly drinking at the tavern. Rarely do they speak of their respective wars. This group includes Mika Aetos, Maeve Dálaigh, Ser Caldus Renn, Nedra Myund, and Hodruil Earthshaper. These people trust each other more than anyone else, and treat one another as confidants. Offsuit Squad: An extreme response squad, includes adventurers too risky to deploy normally. Members of this squad are not given ranks, and are kept isolated away from the general adventurers in day to day operations. The offsuit squad are only deployed in two situations. The first, is under the circumstance that the city of Nuhain itself is facing an extreme threat. The second, is if an S-Rank party has failed a quest. Included in this group is Otzhu Salanzaa, Drasaria DelVille, and Minea 'Mini' Firehand. When the Offsuits are sent out, they are always assigned a handler. The handler is chosen by reputation, and the qualities searched for is a morally upstanding adventurer who is at least of A-rank on their merits (aka, being in an A-Rank party is not enough). This handler is given the control tablet to Drasaria's collar. Since Minea responds to Otzhu, it's easy to keep her in line. Since Otzhu himself is considerably reasonable, as far as the Offsuits go, he may only need minor corrections here and there. Drasaria is the biggest trouble maker, which is why she's the only one to wear a collar. Svana's party: S-Rank adventure party, includes Svana Delmane, Marie Lafayette, and Morrigan MacKelrin. June's party: A-Rank adventure party. Includes June McLannie, Vera Kelisov, and Cylas Nahrand Xhosha's party: B-Rank adventure party. Includes Xhosha Gruuhan, Yvette Cyriel, and Ema Rinpoche Sophie's Party: C-Rank adventure party. Includes Sophie Tyrian, Seiya, and Doren Bramble. Hodruil's Party: B-Rank adventure party. Include Hodruil Earthshaper and Nedra Myund. Solo S-Rank Adventurers: Mika Aetos, Maeve Dálaigh, Haana Veylock,
