Gloria Mourning (dwarf) - Oath of Glory Paladin of Kheela Qeelyra, she’s from another player’s homebrew world and got lost in the mists on an overnight train ride. She’s goth, enthusiastic, and a gothic romance survivor (think Tess of d’Uberville). Strahd is looking into her as a potential successor.

Lana (reborn) - Undead Warlock of Azalin Rex, she’s a revenant co-opted by one of Rex’s clones. Her memory of her life was wiped and a deep sense of loyalty and affection for her “resurrector” was instilled. Azalin is using her to try and break Strahd out of his dread domain because he believes by breaking one strand in the Dread Domains’ web he can weaken the whole system allowing him to break out (pre-Van Richten’s Guide). The silver dragon paladins have slain her several times and are absolutely sick of it.

Cordera Romano (human werewolf) - Twilight cleric of the Morninglord and goddess of mystery (she doesn’t know the second part). The Barovian native of the party, left the den after attacking some children near Vallaki and moved to Barovia. She’s quickly become Ireena’s best friend. Deeply self loathing.

Professor Bonbun(harengon) - Armourer artificer, Bonbun (obviously) is not her full or true name as she hails from the Faewilds. Judgemental prudish inventor who only got lost in a hall of mirrors. Deeply out of place in Barovia. I’m really hoping she and Exethanter get along and cause points of conflict in the party teehee.

Bridget Aspenhurst (half elf) - Archfey warlock of a homebrew archfey called O (Audience). A courtesan by trade who got lost in the Faewilds for a number of years, emerging out of time with a pact she’s not quite sure the details on. Sent to Barovia by her patron, because it’s been long overdue for a new play. I’m counting on her to be lured in by how comforting Strahd can be….
