Rorister Cruelspear [Fighter 5/Knight 9] (LE)
This cunning old drow is a seasoned fighter, and the general of Unearth's army. After Unearth's dwarves uncovered the dying ruins of a drow civilization (isolated from the rest of the Underdark through a cataclysmic event), Rorister quickly seized power and installed the military state that exists today. Knowing he needed a strong, loyal mage to solidify his power, he commanded one of his wizards to possess an elven princess POW with the ghost of his deceased wife. The process was mostly a success, and Rorister delights in the conflicted agony that sometimes crosses his wife's face.
Vanima Cruelspear [Necromancer 13] (CE)
Vanima is the wife of Rorister, who 'resurrected' his bride by forcing her spirit into a 'surface'dweller' elven princess. She commands the vast unliving hordes of Unearth, and serves as Rorister's magical muscle.
Nivecerrion
Zaxen Frostheart [Rogue 10] (N)
As the whitest albino in Nivecerrion, Zaxen carries the mantle of "Frostheart". He runs the town smoothly, tolerating little internal dissidence; he bands the varied people together so they survive as a cohesive unit.
Sectamoli
Sir Noble Honor Strongfist [Paladin 5/Knight 9] (LG)
The king of Sectamoli runs a spotless town, with nearly non-existent crime. Noble is a good-humored, benevolent ruler who always keeps the needs of his subjects closest to his heart. Noble has never produced an heir, so some worry what will happen if one day he perishes in his crusade against evil.
Ocupax
Broken Eagle Feather [Ranger 14] (NG)
BEF is a no-nonsense half-elf that carries the burdens of Ocupax on his shoulders. He is the unoffical leader of Ocupax, and takes responsibility for the safety of all who need protection from Peaceful Pines. He lead the first successful expedition through Peaceful Pines years ago, and has carved many pathways into it since then.
The Brim Goblins
Cacbac [Fighter 6] (CN)
'Cacbac' is the name of the goblin who happens to control the Cacbacs at the moment. Cacbac is typically strong and slightly mutated, wielding an unusually strong cactus as his weapon.
Yakpak [Cleric 6] (CN)
'Yakpak' is the name of the goblin who happens to control the Yakpaks at the moment. Yakpak is always a middle-level cleric who performs rituals the old-fashioned way (divining intestines, voodoo, witchcraft). Though the deity involved shifts, it is usually either Reid, Elaadon, or Ked.
Jackshack [Artificer 6] (CN)
'Jackshack" is an extremely volatile position, and thus a visit to JackShack could result in meeting a new leader every few hours. Whether due to accident or assassination, the life expectancy of a leader is limited.
Thelerons-Mor
Doon Thelas Kirtin [Barbarian 12] (CN)
Like all dwarves of the region, Doon jealously guards his horde of true gold. He recently won the bid for the contract of 2 years of leadership. Though he hordes his gold, he is also not shy in his use of it; his weapons and armor shine golden and deadly, as do his arms. He is a true gold half-golem (note he is not evil or a construct; he succeeded in the will saves when his arms were installed). As such, he has +14 Str, -2 Dex, +4 Con, -6 Int, +0 Wis, -6 Cha, DR 15/Magic, and magic immunity identical to that of an iron golem.
Laesymalaer
Sasharimee Argeneta [Warlock 12] (CN)
Like Doon of the Gold Dwarves, Sasharimee has been altered by her proximity to her true metal. Unlike Doon, who bonded physically to true gold, Sasharimee has a more spiritual connection to true silver. She has the silver half-dragon template, conferring +8 Str, Con +2, Int +2, Cha +2, and a cone of cold breath weapon. Note however, that this is caused by the true silver, and thus does not confer the "Dragon" type.
People's Palace
Brother Friendly [Druid 13] (NG)
Brother Friendly is the 'leader' of the People's Palace, as much as a person can. In reality, the People's Palace has only a few communist guidelines; the rest is supplied by community spirit. BF has visions of making all of Steelrelm inhabitable and...friendly. He is a charismatic, powerful individual, but most people on the mainland consider him a well-intentioned fool.
Mitigoton
Yosef [Diviner 10] (CG)
None of the tribes of Mitigoton use surnames, so the Sultan of Steam is known simply as Josef. He employs his scrying abilities to predict what the Yuan-to will do, and prevent it.
Wudin [Illusionist 10] (CG)
Lord of Lightning is Wudin. He assaults his foes with violent images, and unleashes prismatic death on any who threaten Mitigoton.
Bor [Transmuter 10] (CG)
Master of Mineral, Bor, is the Defender of Mitigoton. He protects his allies with spells that make them harder and stronger, like minerals.
Rasputin [Evoker 10] (CG)
Ruler of Radiance, Rasputin, is the Snake Hater. More so than the other three leaders, Rasputin takes pride in each Yuan-ti he consumes with his ever-burning fire.
Guivre Tribe
Grim-Grin Guivre [Ranger 6/Druid 8] (NE)
Grim-Grin is the leader of the Yuan-to in the Scaled Jungle. He is a deadly combatant, taking the form of all manners of monstrous snake. He ruthlessly cuts down outsiders unfit for slavery, and is constantly planning the destruction of Mitigoton. He also has a group of darkwood treants under his control, which he uses for recon and assassination.
