Jódís - Madame of the Nótt Dómsalur - she is paid a considerable amount of respect for her position, and despite her tattered dress and tarnished jewelry, she manages to carry herself with all the dignity of a noblewoman.
Friðgeir - Herra [Lord] Friðgeir Guðvarðsson is the brother of Dama [Lady] Eydis Guðvarðsson. Friðgeir is very mild-mannered and softspoken. He adores his sister, and her wasting sickeness is rending at his heart. He hates to see her suffer, but no amount of money can buy a decent healer. Not that they have the money to spend. With the reign of the Black Jester went their family fortune. Which, prior to the dark times, was legendary.
Dama Katrín Óðinn - Married at the tender age of eleven to a richer, older lord - Katrín never really knew what it was like to be a child. Prior to her marriage, she had been groomed to be the perfect lady, attending lessons of every kind, learning languages and music, and then, when the time came ... she was whisked away by her husband. He was a gentle man, always kind to her, and she grew to feel a great fondness for him. When she was 19, he died, leaving his immense fortune to her, and she realized that her feelings for him ran deeper than she had thought. Now, 25, she drifts about Evenspell as a ghost. Many men have sought to court her, but all have been turned away. When she is seen, it is with an expression of true sadness on her face ... but it does not diminish her beauty in the least.
Sindri Runólfsson - Sindri [age 19] was simply born in the wrong place at the wrong time. His parents were never wealthy - his mother was a prostitute and the last thing she needed was a baby. He was left in a box on the doorstep of whoever she thought might take care of him. As a result, he has been a servant in the proud Sigurgeirsson family house all his life. Sigurgeir takes a particular malicious delight in tormenting the boy.
Sigurgeir Sigurgeirsson - The Sigurgeirsson family tree has deep roots, some that run so deep as to touch the very beginning of Evenspell's creation. Sigurgeir [age 21] is the only son and heir of the family, his father, Barón Sólmundur Sigurgeirsson, is a senile old man in his late fifties with a narrow mind and a hot temper. Sigurgeir himself - while known to often be calm and collected - also tends to have small outbursts of rage that occur every so often.
