DRAMATIS PERSONAE

Demascus (da-MASS-kus)

Demascus is the apparent victim of a demon-summoning ritual gone wrong. Though he apparently survived the ritual that left everyone else for dead, his memory of all previous events in his life is absent, save for dramatic flashes. In most of these visions, Demascus owns a pale scarf, a golden ring, and a sword.

Chant Morven (CHANT MORE-ven)

The proprietor of a pawnshop in the city of Airspur. Besides selling the hopes and dreams of Airspur’s desperate and destitute, Chant also heads up a network of informants that keep him apprised of events in and around the city. Chant is a portly human.

Riltana “Rilta” (ril-TAHN-ah)

Riltana is a windsoul genasi who makes a living stealing from Airspur’s elite and wealthy visitors to the city by night, and as a messenger in the Airstepper’s Guild by day. Four years ago, she took a commission from a foul-breathed fellow named Kalkan to steal Demascus’s scarf.
