The People in our Neighborhood
**SPOILERS**
*WARNING: This will be updated after the relevant episode releases. So if you aren’t up-to-date you may find out some upsetting information.
We have met and will meet many significant characters during our journeys.
This is a brief description for them and their current status in the World of Aspara.
-
The Arcanist
Do-gooder in Zexah that caught the attention of people in power. The Arcanist was the reason Shaft was sent to Zexah. Shaft employed Gozer as his muscle to help bring in the Arcanist. Bryn and Falzaren happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got roped into helping Shaft get his bounty.
*Deceased
-
Chucky
Hunch-backed bar boy at the Good Riddance Inn in Zexah. Oh yeah, also the Arcanist. Chucky was delivered to Detmer. RIP, we assume.
*Deceased? Oh. Oh no.

Isabella Goode
The Doctor of Zexah and owner of a massive bar tab. Learn from Isabella and never buy drinks for Shaft. MAAAaaaaaybe the mastermind behind the goings-on of the cave?
Elder, and now leader, of Heracleon. Former patron of Falzaren. Sister of Shikara. And so much more.
-
Jolalah
Barkeep – The Good Riddance Inn in Zexah – Probably wondering what happened to his barboy Chucky

Hank Applebees
Enemy of Bryn. Killer of Bryn’s friend. Killer of Krug of Krag. Paladin of Kolstice searching for his amulet that went missing after Bryn and company made a visit to his tower. Surprisingly killed by Falzaran, but not until after Gozer beat him down. The man could really take a punch.
*Deceased
-
Joolvee
A famous Darkling Bard musician, Joolvee has many albums that are very popular in Aspara. He took on more than he could handle when he decided it would be a good idea to try to sell the IP to some orcs. RIP Joolvee, your musical genius will be missed.
*Deceased
There is ALWAYS a Joolvee! -
Prince Charmington III

*Deceased
