Primary Enemies:

 

The River Voices do not suffer their enemies to live long, especially major foes.  As this catalogue shows, most major enemies have either been destroyed or have fled the area, weakened and hopefully never to return.  Or so it seems… cackle cackle…. --Wakboth

 

First Dreamer:  An evil, rapacious wyrm from the age of the Empire of Wyrm’s Friends, returned as a ghastly demon who tried to warp the heroes to his evil will and gain control of his former prison, Wyrmsjaw Fort.  He was a great worry to them until he was re-imprisoned in the sarcophagus in the fort where he was first released from.  He was freed again by the Lunars (Hazphar Pharates) and killed some of them before he was taken down and imprisoned yet again by the River Voices.  He now is the slave spirit to the fort again.

 

The Eye of Wakboth:  A malignant entity that sat far beneath the Devil’s Playground, spawning  legions of nasty chaos until a combined force of trolls led by the Kaarg’s Son Olag Stonecrusher and The River Voices slew it.  The river was then diverted to purify the cave complex where it had sat and gloated since before Time began.  Apparently it is destroyed and its corruption has ceased.

 

Morta the Devout:  A sage of Lhankor Mhy who had explored Wyrmsjaw Fort in the late 1500s but had been missing for decades since.  He appeared to help the party now and again with First Dreamer and the fort, always acting mysteriously and suspiciously, but then was revealed to be corrupt, devious, and power-hungry, in pursuit of Firshala’s power.  He got his allies in a Black Fang gang to go after the River Voices, but then he was spotted in New Pavis and brutally cut down in the streets by Arcus.  Arcus merely served the LM temple as a guard for a year in attonement; many of his allies had to pull strings to make this punishment so minor.  Elohwyn now has his magic Black Fang dagger that she keeps as a memento, and some blame it for darkening her spirit.

 

Illwraith:  A cunning, but unlucky Black Fang assassin whom Morta hired to slay the party.  Her gang of novices met her downfall when their lair was revealed and they were attacked.  The gang was wiped out, but Illwraith escaped and has not been seen since.  Elohwyn has hinted that she made some deal with Illwraith and expected no more trouble.

 

Muriah:  Witch-Queen of the Broos and evil foe of Duke Raus.  Never met by the party, and gladly so, but slain by Pachala’s khan Ankubi Broostalker after the River Voices sought out a Tien shrine where Muriah’s weaknesses were revealed.

 

The Pola Clan:  A family of ogres that lived in the Grantlands near Raus Fort and Dyskund.  Met briefly before the River Voices went into Dyskund Caverns, and blamed for many troubles therein.  But they escaped to places unknown.  Strong indications of connections to the Black Rock ogre children, to Muriah, and perhaps to the Thanatari or other chaotics of Dyskund.

 

Meskavio:  Yet another ogre and a Talon of Cacodemon, whose band (posing as exotic Heortlander adventurers) found the party in the Puzzle Canal and befriended them.  Then they betrayed them horribly, turning dead Tarranyr and Gregor into ghosts and then ambushing the party as they approached Lacuna Morada’s pool.  Meskavio was cut down shortly after he called a Fiend to attack them.  A bitter, hated foe for his lies and treason.

 

The Lunar Provincial Field Survey Team:  A competitor band of explorers from the Lunar government who for many years chased, helped, argued with, infiltrated with spies, and fought the party.  They most recently (1625 at fall of Pavis) fought the River Voices for possession of Wyrmsjaw Fort.  Their leader Dalamides Alveticus escaped with his goddess’s transport magic, and the nomad guide Antonia Blackhock surrendered and went to serve Duke Raus, but the other two were killed.  Hazphar Pharates the sorceror-scholar was beheaded by Miloh the Shrewd and then burnt to a crisp by First Dreamer’s breath; Reskill Taranus was likewise slashed and burned to death.

 

Three forgotten Lunars:  (Nolantor, Lukaros, and Ronan the Prosecutor, cast into a chaos void and forgotten from history)  They did something bad and met a foul end, somewhere in the Rockwood Mountains recently.  What were they all about?  No one can recall really, but they had something to do with the Crimson Bat and so it’s quite nice that they’re not around anymore, probably.

 

“Chendry Lommori”:  Although he served the River Voices for about a year at Wyrmsjaw Fort as a seemingly loyal Humakti allied to Caernak, documents found when Wyrmsjaw Fort was recovered from the Lunars show that he was a spy sent to infiltrate them, and had connections to the Crimson Bat cult.  An explanation for his bizarre actions is wanting.  Still at large.

 

“Falco Tubrother”:  What seemed like a naïve, inept young Lunar tax official left at Wyrmsjaw Fort to die from some future Rubble hazard turned out to be another spy sent to infitrate the River Voices, according to documents recovered from the Lunars.  Still at large.

 

Other foes:  Miscellaneous Thanatari, Krarshti, Pocharngo cultists, and other chaotics have plagued the party over the years, but have not lasted long.  Zorak Zorani trolls are a persistent annoyance, seeming to be drawn to Wyrmsjaw Fort.
