NPCs

Andrea KaliskinyA druid of the Fifth Order of Celtans who joined the sealing of the Amber Temple — and, by Lotan's account, was sent to do exactly that.
Archmagister Dorian SilvermarchArchmagister of VAVA and an Autumn Council member — a high elf scholar nearing two centuries who votes with cautious pragmatism and keeps the Academy's scholarship in reserve.
Aurelio VolanteA merchant and mask collector in the Market Tiers, proprietor of Volante & Associates — easy in difficult rooms, with a wider collection of stories than spices.
BrownieSmall sprite-like fey creatures standing 4–6 inches tall, dwelling in rummages throughout wooded and mountainous regions. Adult brownies have grown, mature features and proportions rather than any childlike quality.
Captain-Commander Thora IronmarkWatch Commander of the Fog Wardens and an unaligned Autumn Council swing vote — a decorated half-orc veteran who cuts through political maneuvering with plain questions.
Celina CrossThe reigning star of the Amaranth Theater in the High Quarter — and the elder sibling of the friend Caravel lost at the Autumn Masquerade.
Constanza MareaHarbor-Lord on the Autumn Council and head of the Warehouse Consortium — a sharp political dealmaker who looks for trades that reopen the harbor without head-on fights.
Cosimo VerdigrisPatriarch of the Verdigris and an elder of the Mirrorwrights' guild — a respected old craftsman who has spent a lifetime fascinated by why Venturia's mirrors behave the way they do.
Donata VellThe merchant who sponsored Lotan's Wine Merchants' Guild membership, does not remember doing so, and is determinedly finding him a wife.
Father Domenico of the Four WindsTemple Authority on the Autumn Council, speaking for smaller temples and wandering clergy — a coalition-builder pressing the chamber to understand the cost of Venturia's prosperity.
Ferro LaskThe Fog Wardens' rotations officer at the Overlook garrison, who conducts the Beyond Relief rite.
Garl GlittergoldThe chief deity of gnomes — patron of trickery, illusion, gem-cutting, and protection of his people, said to outwit his enemies rather than overpower them.
Guildmaster Vincenzo CopperGuild-Master on the Autumn Council representing the Metals Guild — a conservative dwarf traditionalist whose family has led the guild for three generations.
High Oracle Ysmena StarweaverAn ageless elf oracle who speaks for the city's smaller mystery cults — cryptic, divisive, and accurate often enough that dismissing her is dangerous.
Isabella FortunataThe legendary figure at the heart of The Tragedy of Vallombrosa, restaged every Autumn Masquerade at the Amaranth — and the woman around whom the di Errante story turns.
Isidore VerdigrisThe Verdigris heir and a master mirror-maker — ambitious, impatient, and convinced the family's caution is leaving money on the table.
Lady NoctyrixA bruxa of the Amber Temple, killed by Lotan's ancestors — and the source of the curse his family is said to carry.
Lord-Admiral Teodor VastHarbor-Lord on the Autumn Council and master of Venturia's largest private merchant fleet — blunt, ruthless, and willing to fund anything that will reopen the harbor.
Lorenzo di ErranteA name from a thousand years past — the younger di Errante brother of legend, lost with his house in the catastrophe that raised the fog over Vallombrosa.
Marcello di ErranteA figure from the legend of Vallombrosa, surviving in the Amaranth Theater's annual restaging of The Tragedy — and in a thousand years of contradictory tales.
Maruk GrommargA Fog Warden who volunteered for the Overlook posting and Noname's missing fiancé — vanished the same night a scarred stranger appeared at the fog line.
Master Artisan Celeste OrionGuild-Master on the Autumn Council and head of the Binding Crafts Guild — the chamber's loudest voice for the city's laborers, pushing for protection in the working districts.
Mother-Abbot Lucia VirosdottirTemple Authority on the Autumn Council, current Chair, and Mother-Abbot of the Abbey of Saint Viro — wise, compassionate, and wearied by a crisis that strains her faith.
OttiliaBaker at the Fenn stall on the Overlook stair, who taught the boy Cesco his numbers.
Primo Navigante Old MarenPrimo Navigante of the Ferriers' Confraternity and an Autumn Council member — deliberate and prone to uncanny pauses, warning that the trouble begins in the water, not the streets.
Professor Emiliana SartoVAVA professor and Venturia's foremost — and long-overlooked — scholar of Vallombrosa and the city's fey-touched nature.
StriderA gardener-mentor of the Tiered Gardens, known among the gardeners for teaching Valentro the way of the leaf.
Thalia VerdigrisThe youngest Verdigris — a charming socialite who wears mirrors as jewelry and is, beneath the polish, genuinely gifted with reflection magic.
The Verdigris FamilyThe family that has controlled the Mirrorwrights' guild for five generations — old money, quietly wealthy from owning something everyone needs and nobody thinks about.
Tolomeo LucenteA scholar and explorer who surfaces only in the margins of old records — remembered, where he is remembered at all, for chasing knowledge others left alone.
Valeria TessereThe masked leader of the Veil Court, a former celebrated actress and guardian of Venturia's Masquerade traditions.
Velonar KaligorLotan's ancestor — the warlock who is said to have burned Count Strahd to ash, sealed the Amber Temple, and bought a winery with the proceeds.
Vincen TidecallerMaster of the Tidekeeper's Lodge holding his Autumn Council seat by ancient charter — a quiet voice warning that the strangeness in the water is older than the city's commerce.
Wylks OttrenJourneyman of the Mirrorwrights and Valentro's best friend — currently holding an unregistered piece of optical work overnight.
