NPC, Terms, and Places

[GeneT]

The Following is a growing list of Names of NPCs met, some small and some large, in case one forgets a name they want to recall. This post is updated and added to for completeness. If I've forgotten an NPC, or Term, or Place please post a reply and I will amend the list. Also, an alphabetical listing of terms that have been used in-game to flavor the world by myself and players. In addition to these, are place names that the characters, in various parties, have traveled through that are of significant.
