| Master Eddas (the undead sorcerer's skull) | |
 |
Master Eddas was a sorcerer who died over 30 years ago. His knowledge lives on in his blackened skull, which is marked with a cloven hoof print on its forehead. Master Eddas can fly and talk, and is very knowledgeable about arcane matters, but refuses to teach anyone magic unless they swear to serve him as his apprentice. Master Eddas travelled with Theresa for a time, and now travels with his journeyman, Wesley Orlamond. |

Meiling is a pilgrim who has travelled across Arda from Linshung Province in Khitai to learn more about the True Faith, which is being persecuted by the Emperor of Khitai at the order of the Celestial Emperor. While visiting Selentium, Meiling met with the Pontiff, who promised to send priests west to minister to the faithful. Meiling has mastered the way of the open hand, a fighting technique used by the peasants of Khitai to defend themselves against armed opponents. |
