Candoron
“The Spires of the Protectorate”
Type: Metropolis (50,000)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Ruler: Lady Regent Protector Galianus of House Thada beholden to the Empire of
Davius
Government: Colonialist Hegemony
Notable NPC’s: Lady Galianus, Sir Dofani, Katina Weshia, Captain Nalius,
Notable Locations: Temples of Drafus and Aldren, Spire of House Thada, The Spinning
Dervish, The Pits, Dockside
Rumors: Under the foundations of the city are ways into Night Below. House Thada contains a
portal to the Imperial city and to the emperors bedchambers. Lady Galianus is in league
with the local Resistance to the empire.
Candoron is a strange city in that it is built on top of three islands in the middle of the Fordalian River. There is also a major trade road that crosses the river here. The city has the ability to pull the bridges up that cross the river on both sides of town. It is also possible to pull up the major through fares between islands as well. Therefore the city itself does not have the ability to truly spread out. Once it filled the islands it had to grow up. With that being the case there are bridges and walkways that spread around. The closer to the ground you are the poorer you tend to be. There is no magic holding these spires up it is almost entirely the work of dwarves. Most building are stone that have a strong foundation. These islands that the city sits on are granite. The Lady Regent had been sent here to help hold this portion of the empire over 10 years ago with little to no contact with the empire other than troops.

Dath (500)
Ruler:Lady Regent Protector Galianus of House Thada beholden to the Empire of
Davius
Government: Colonialist Hegemony
Languages: Common (Trade), Davi (Empirical)

Barakon sits on the southern edge of the empire of Davius which is the southern coastline. They are in border disputes with the other kingdom along the coast to the north and east of the deep water bay known as Still Waves along the Torrent Sea. The Lady Regent has been in a stalemate with the country of Vandium for this bay. Of late the emperor has been slowly pulling troop back and out of the region with no explanation. The small town of Das sits on the edge of the disputed region with the port town of Dath being a day’s ride from there. A large garrison of Imperial soldiers were stationed outside Das but half of the troops have pulled back to help fortify Kavala. As for what is truly going on with the emperor’s choice in moving troops, as he has, it is anyone’s guess.

“The Fun Uncle/Big Brother”
This NPC Archetype can be a real boon to those new to a game, and they can fit into almost any setting. The Fun Uncle/Big Brother kind of character serves a “guide” to the party without being the GM’s NPC babysitter or that annoying, pushy, quest giver NPC. They can be used to give advice on a quest or help to reinforce the atmosphere of a setting. It allows the GM to give hints to the players without being obvious.
Additionally there’s another boon to the Fun Uncle/Big Brother NPC. They can change the tone of your game. Have players that are starting to get cocky and overconfident, have the Fun Uncle/Big Brother regale a tale of dread or horror. Have the PCs just experienced a real emotionally draining scene? He’s there to listen and give context to the experience. Heck, this kind of character can even bring “closure” to a PC’s death, through a touching eulogy or conducting a ceremony where the PC’s name is inscribed on the stone of heros.
The one thing the Fun Uncle/Big Brother is not is a steamroller. He’s not there to push the PCs to do what you want them to do. He’s there to ask a question to get the PCs thinking.
These type of NPCs are in almost any genre:
The retired Shadowrunner turned fixer, dispensing history and advice. (and ideas for weapons) The arcane librarian who knows the stories of the realm and its histories. (Does she know of an underground tunnel to get into the Necromancer’s tower) The babysitter whose stories not only that show that monsters are real, but that they can be defeated. The Mech Mechanic who was always known for pulling wild and crazy stunts, passing that knowledge off to the newer pilots.
Zendead-
Salifondus- He is a down on his luck elven guy. He dresses nicely but all of his clothing has seen better days. Sali as he is known in the darker part of town is a male “escort” that can be found plying his trade in taverns and inns that cater to the adventuring types. While lots of people in his line of work do things of a questionable nature he has never taken advantage of a “john”.
