 +
=== Mayor Kendra Deverin ===
 +
Living within the largest manor, the Deverins have traditionally held the role of “leader” in Sandpoint. Old Amos Deverin served as the town’s mayor, and his son Fenchus served for the next 11. Both Deverins perished to unfortunate accidents (Amos to a runaway horse on Festival street and Fenchus to a snakebite while on a boar hunt), leaving Amos’s youngest daughter as the heir to the family fortune and a likely candidate for mayor. Kendra Deverin didn’t initially want the job, but after she was nominated for the role by her close friend Casp Avertin, she won the election by a landslide, something her primary opponent in the election, Titus Scarnetti, has never quite come to terms with. For some time there was talk of her and Casp becoming wife and husband, but Casp’s death at Chopper’s hands cut that short. Kendra’s recovered now from the shock, but has put aside all interest in romance for politics. She shares the manor with her brother’s rather large family, and although her sister-in-law Vana constantly complains about needing even more space and luxuries, Kendra has done a saintly job so far in keeping her temper under control.

Kendra Deverin, can often be found in the town hall, tending to the town’s needs.

Related to Nathaniel.

 +
=== Sheriff Belor Hemlock ===
 +
A flan who inherited the post of sheriff when the previous holder, Casp Avertin, was murdered by Chopper. Belor saw the town through that last terrible night and is generally held to be the man who stopped Chopper’s rampage. In the emergency election that followed a week later, the people of Sandpoint officialized his role, and Belor became the first Flan sheriff of Sandpoint. Honored and eager to live up to Casp’s legacy, Belor changed his last name to its Common translation, from Viskalai to Hemlock, a choice that has endeared him to Sandpoint’s populace but hasn’t sat well with his brother Garridan. Belor’s not-as-secret-as-he’d-like romance with Kaye Tesarani has put further strains on his relationship with his family.
 +
 +
=== Ameiko Kaijitsu ===
 +
Female innkeeper that is related to the glassworks owner, but estranged. Ameiko's exotic beauty is more than matched by her skill at music, and few are the evenings that pass at The Rusty Dragon without at least two or three songs by the talented woman. Some bad blood exists between Ameiko and Cyrdak, and one never seems to miss a chance to badmouth the other, but no one in town really understands the reason behind their rivalry.
 +
She was half sister to Tsuto. After the tragic death of her father at the hands of goblins of Tsuto's doing, she's now the head of one of the noble families in Sandpoint and owner of the glassworks. She now spends less time at the Rusty Dragon.

 +
=== Madame Niska Mvashti ===
 +
The ancient and mysterious Niska Mvashti, or Madame Mvashti as she prefers to be called, is a Rhenne historian and seer, part of a long tradition of oracles in her family. As with many seers, the current age’s unexpected departures from established prophecies have left her with a lifelong sense of brooding worry. She performs most of her readings with cards or carved bones but seems only very rarely to enjoy casting her predictions.
 +
 +
=== Cyrdak Drokkus ===
 +
Owns a massive playhouse, financed entirely by its larger-than-life owner. it certainly competes with the playhouses of Magnimar, a fact that Cyrdak takes great pride in, since he was forced to flee that city for mysterious reasons he’s eager to hint at but reticent to expound upon. Although Cyrdak enjoys flirting with all of Sandpoint’s young women, his romantic relationship with Jasper Korvaski is one of the town’s worst-kept secrets.

 +

Nathan has a certain roguish charm and is well liked in Sandpoint, even if some people think that he should make something of himself. He would be the first to agree, but he has little interest in the family business. His good looks make him popular with the ladies, and some whisper that he is a "friend" of Shayliss Vinder.

Nathan is a skilled swordsman, rider, and marksman. He is a member of the Sandpoint militia, mostly because it keeps him from becoming bored. As a child, he read voraciously but showed more interest in tales of adventure and romance than ancient and boring history. Nathan enjoyed the lectures of Magister Gandethus, even if he absorbed little of the knowledge the old wizard tried to impart. Like all the children in Sandpoint, he was fascinated by the mystery of the wizard's basement.

While the rhenne tend to be clannish and insular, Dorothea has little to no contact with her family. A lazy and unruly child from the start, she drifted off, eventually joining a mercenary band. The vague prospect of easy loot and glory appealed to her, and she managed to make a place for herself there. However, her first battle showed that the glories of mercenary life were somewhat overstated. After the battle followed an orgy of violence, rape and plunder that shocked her to the core. Being on the losing side didn't help either.

As the victors moved on to other victims and richer pickings elsewhere, she lay discarded on the battlefield like a bloody rag doll stripped of dignity, valuables, and life.
