Teryn Karaisa Gorm

A foreign Bard residing in the swamplands of Moharia, close friend of The Ruby Knight and keeper of the harlots. Once a mercenary for hire, Gorm takes work as it comes, wherever it comes from. A loose set of morals and a sharpness of both wit and blade are required to live in the high-built swamplands for long, and Gorm has more of these things than even their closest friends know.

About The Bard
Growing up in a trading family, they are used to moving around and travelling to far off lands, bringing back treasures and secrets from across the oceans to their friends in the Ophidian High Council. They are invited to council meetings for "entertainment" - glad that nobody has pointed out they only seem to know two songs and often get too drunk with the council to remember the words.

The Ruby Knight
A friend of The Bard's and one of the only people aware of the musician's true nature.

"Little Bird"
Frequently heard of during Council Meetings, when the Bard would lean in and announce "a little bird told me..." - thought to be a spy conveniently placed in the rivalling land of Violincia. The Bard has managed to keep the Little Bird's true identity secret for many years.
