Members Only Casino in Napers Dawn

Madrael Salsola

Madrael Salsola is an elf originally hailing from the Malta region.  He is a scholar and researcher on the works and life of Keltischer Sanger. Keltischer Sanger is known by many in the Evening Isles as The Artificer. Smadraeil taught the group how to play and bet on Roulette.  Besides having offices at the college, his family owns two homes in Lowhill a neighborhood in Naper’s Dawn.   The Salsola’s brought the Maltese Salt Tree to the Evening Isles, its popularity along the southern coast of the isles due to its many alchemical uses along with a preferred ingredient in several soaps. 

Vesskel Perun


Vesskel Perun is a human body guard and trouble shooter for the Zarl Family, or at least he was until recently.  Upon the natural death of Baron Sambrial Zarl’s mother Heather, Vesskel was retired from his employment.  During a card game he reveals that part of his severance was a ten year membership in Member’s Only and a small cottage near the open market.  Conversation with Vesskel is interrupted several times when Member’s Only staff delivers him a message, the last of which causes him to excuse himself from your table. 

Grendus Marbleroar

Grendus Marbleroar is a Dwarf merchant who claims to hail from Gibraltar. Conversation flows easily during the tossing of dice. This leads Tibar and Aubrey to the realization that Gibraltar is a commonly offered place of orgin given by those that are newly arrived to the Evening Isles.  You discover that Grendus has been in Naper’s Dawn for ten years and in that time has been responsible for the construction of several new homes in the Old Towne neighborhood as well as street repairs in that area. 

 

Mupol “Roadkill” Roadklinger 

                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Mupol “Roadkill” Roadklinger is a Gnome engineer and partner of Grendus Marbleroar. You meet the quiet gnome during one of the many card games.  “Roadkill” has perfected a thousand yard stare that provides the gnome an unnerving, unreadable poker face. It is only after mentioning the Dwarf Grendus that Roadkill opens up to the party, engaging in dry humor, good drinks, and pleasant conversation.                                                                                                                              
 Anyard Votchklur

Anyard Votchklur is a Fetchling mercer from Hoppen Coast the duchy directly to the Southeast of Tier Ne Somenhiem. While playing the strategy game The Titan or the Soul, Anyard reveals that he is a guest of Ickarth Hassis, joking that his solemn duty is to be a good guest and lose his money at Member’s Only. Anyard has the annoying habit of singing songs under his breath.                                    

Gazalicia

Gazalicia is a half elvan woman that other guests inform you is a Transmuter under the Zarl families’ employment.  She comfortably interacts with Vesskel Perun in passing during your time playing cards with him, but eventually makes the point to introduce herself to The Zephyr’s Bounty  and gambles with all of you at the craps table. Grace the Stone Maiden is immediately jealous of her.

 

Myles is a Halfling with strange accent and the only gambler you meet that you believe is trying to win as much as he can. You run into Myles at multiple tables and Orion noticed him when leaving the masseuse.  He is friendly at the table but jumpy.  It’s only after the Zephyr’s Bounty leaves Member’s Only and arrives at Midnight Manor does anyone realize they don’t know when they lost sight of the Halfling.

Ollesa Merryweather a beautiful human? woman of obvious class, education and nobility.  She openly proclaims that the only reason she finds herself gambling here this evening is to meet the group of you.  You find yourselves initially flattered when she tells you that at the Black Jack table.  She soon leaves the table after playing only a few hands with you and spends most of her time speaking with Madrael Salsola. Your knowledge of local affairs will inform you that Ollesa is the niece of Duchess Priscilla Somenhiem.  The Merryweather's are a powerful merchant family in Tier Ne Somenhiem

Ollesa Merryweather
  Therold Lustack is the tall and long armed Undine floor manager at Members Only. Standing near seven feet, Therold is long, thin, and gangly.  Something about his appearance calms nerves and inspires cooperation and compliance. Therold, Tibar, and Grace find themselves fast friends, frequently joining Therold on his numerous smoke breaks. 
Therold Lustack



Kelshek a bard whose racial origins are difficult to pin down but you suspect is a Tiefling. Kelshek gambles with a ferocious anger that has the unfortunate side effect of being hilariously funny to most anyone who hears or witnesses his angry tirades and performances. You learn that he at least mines the material he gains from his angry gambling into regular comedic performances throughout the duchy. Near the end of your evening Quatritch's dice roll is the final victory Kelshek needed to pay to renew his yearly membership at Members Only. You finally see the Bard smile and to be honest its disturbing. In response to his good luck he gifts Quatritch a dozen tickets to his next performance at Grumblebelly

Polaghon
Kelshek
 


Polaghon is the half elf who proclaimed himself to be an Ambassador from Urbport a city in the Elven Duchy Miar Moshea that you met in the Members Only dining room. Polaghon is not seen in the casino.

  1. Baron Zarl's mother's name changed to Heather to avoid confusion. Note the Zarl's are a human family.
