- Faette Orahan was a milkmaid who hired on as a mercenary (footman, pikeman) as part of a ragtag bunch of misfits that were on their way to determine the fate of a previous expedition to the ‘Quarries of the Misty Pestilence’. Not far from the place referred to as ‘The Sublime Basalt Museum’, she was crushed by a falling-block trap
- Edmir Arendor was a celebrity who hired on as a mercenary (footman, light) with a few close childhood friends who dreamt of adventure that were on their way to clear and settle the ‘Secret Caverns of Torture’. Before the first torch had even burnt out, he fell during a difficult ledge traversal, while belayed to the rest of the party—dragging them all to their deaths in the chasm below
- Leos Kater was a barber who hired on as a mercenary (footman, light) attached to an excursion that aimed to delve the depths of the ‘Rift of Useless Frost’. Rumor has it that he fell while being lowered by a rope into a chasm, to investigate it but, though separated from the main party, managed to survive, then was taken prisoner by a raiding party of neogi, and after a forcible glossectomy, when last seen, was being led in chains to the bowels of the earth
- Yith Colius was a hangman who hired on as a porter to join in a military expedition that were on their way to attempt to inhabit the ‘Waterways of Brotherhood’. In accordance with what the soothsayer had prophesied, he was driven mad by the darkness, and committed suicide
- Japhegan Radivalhisa was a dogcatcher who hired on as a porter attached to an adventure that strove to attempt to inhabit the ‘Divided Maze of Dark Temptation’. Before the first torch had even burnt out, he discovered and named the section now called The Obscure Sand Wells, where he fell while being lowered by a rope into a chasm, to investigate it but managed to survive with only a broken nose … then survived the delve, but became the town crazy, muttering and cursing to any who approach too closely
