The Best of

| Amoli |
Madam
of the Lily Garden brothel |
Ilsigi
(?) |
Mistress of the Golden Lily (Lily Garden),
the second most powerful madam on the Street of Red
Lanterns and the only contender for Myrtis'
leadership. She keeps her girls dependent on her through
their addiction to krrf, an expensive drug.
She is also addicted. This often leads
her into contact with fairly rough types, since the
drug is not easily obtained in any quantity. She is
quick to correct anyone confusing her place with the
Slippery Lily, a hellhole inside the Maze itself.
Rumour has it that she actually owns
both establishments, sending her broken-down girls to
the Slippery Lily when they no longer meet the standards
of the Lily Garden.
Though in a rough trade and over 40,
she has managed to keep much of her hard-edged beauty.
Her major weaknesses are her addition and a concern
for respect. Threatening either will be met with immediate
violence; supporting them will gain her assistance.

Arman
|
Hell Hound |
Rankan |
Arman is an arrogant younger son of
a poor noble who did not have the temperament to become
an officer. As a Hell Hound, he is the sort of policeman
whose prisoners often die 'trying to escape' or are
injured 'resisting arrest'.
He follows
Zalbar's orders with a calculated insolence
just short of insubordination. Paradoxically, he is
incredibly impressed with Prince
Kadakithis and is willing to die for him. Arman
is slim and wiry with the distinctive Rankan nose he
likes to look down.

Ilsigi
(Northborn?) |
Has a shop in Westside. He is not exactly
an alchemist, for his knowledge is of plants, not of
magical potions. He can be relied on for medical advice
and most forms and drugs and poisons.
He doesn't mention his poison trade
and will often attempt to have pretty matrons of the
city pay him for his work with their favors rather than
their money. Alten is about 35, of average looks.
He is distinguishable on the street
by his healer's tunic and the staff he bears, now charred
about the tip.

Captain of the palace guard before the
arrival of Prince
Kadakithis. Now he is one of the three men charged
with keeping the peace in Sanctuary.
Aye-Gophlan is a local boy who made
good by becoming an officer in the Rankan military guarding
Sanctuary. As such, he is well below the Hell Hounds
in rank and still retains most of the thief skills which
brought him his commission.
His post is the guard post at the corner
of Professional Way. He is a seasoned veteran and quite
loyal to the prince because of his loyalty to the Empire.
Aye-Gophlan is tall and burly, but running to seed.
