| The [[gaz:volva|volva]] [[gaz:alva_the_serpent_hearted|Alva the Serpent-Hearted]] is feared as the most powerful wise-woman in all of [[gaz:midgard|Midgard]]. [[gaz:grim_the_hairy|Grim the Hairy]] is a legendary [[gaz:shapeshifter|shapeshifter]], but it is of great debate if he //actually// exists or not. [[gaz:eirik_the_wise|Eirik the Wise]] is frequently cited as the greatest [[gaz:rune|rune]] caster in all of Midgard, although he is extremely old by any standard. | The [[gaz:volva|volva]] [[gaz:alva_the_serpent_hearted|Alva the Serpent-Hearted]] is feared as the most powerful wise-woman in all of [[gaz:midgard|Midgard]].

| In Europa [[gaz:forbidden_arts|the Forbidden Arts]] have not been practiced openly for many generations, but there are some who do not fear the wrath of [[gaz:great_church|the Church]]. One of those who practiced without fear was [[gaz:paschalis|Paschalis]], but she disappeared around the time of the [[:gaz:great_plague|great plague]]. Still, there are those who still say she is still seen periodically to this day. [[gaz:harwyn|Harwyn the Sly]] practices his creed, but is nominally in the employ of [[gaz:great_church|the Church]] as a [[gaz:magister|Magister]]. | In Europa [[gaz:forbidden_arts|the Forbidden Arts]] have not been practiced openly for many generations, but there are some who do not fear the wrath of [[gaz:great_church|the Church]].

| Albeit not a wizard, [[gaz:grief|Grief]] could perform impressive feats of sorcery.

| Some will say if she survives, the [[gaz:witch_queen|Witch Queen]] likely has many fabulous treasures from bygone times, but will only invoke her name in whispers lest she hear her name spoken. | Some will say if she survives, the [[gaz:witch_queen|Witch Queen]] likely has many fabulous treasures from bygone times, but will only invoke her name in whispers lest she hear her name spoken. |

| Now, if you are talking about in [[gaz:trade_town|Trade Town]], then you are likely talking about [[:gaz:lars_trollkiller|Leif Troll-Killer]], who finances the whole affair through levies on others who are exploring the ruins of [[gaz:onyx_city|The Onyx City]], or perhaps [[gaz:alim|Alim the Mad]] who seems to have a never-ending supply of silver to dole out for baubles recovered from the ruins. | Now, if you are talking about in [[gaz:trade_town|Trade Town]], then you are likely talking about [[:gaz:lars_trollkiller|Lars Troll-Killer]], who finances the whole affair through levies on others who are exploring the ruins of [[gaz:onyx_city|The Onyx City]], or perhaps [[gaz:alim|Alim the Mad]] who seems to have a never-ending supply of silver to dole out for baubles recovered from the ruins. |

| Well, if [[gaz:malfrid|Malfrid]], [[gaz:joseph|the outlander priest]] or [[gaz:typhaelus|the leech]] can’t help you then perhaps [[gaz:mosum_redfingers|that apothecary]] who is sometimes at [[gaz:harbor|the harbor]] has a cure-all that helps, or there may be someone visiting [[gaz:norsemens_rest|Norsemen’s Rest]] that can do something.

| The crew of [[gaz:sigurds_folly|Sigurd’s Folly]] was traveling to [[gaz:thule|Thule]] with two other longships but through the eternal fog they could tell the other two were smashed by great tentacles that broke the surface of the sea. Some say that [[gaz:sigurd_olafssen|Sigurd]] and his men killed the other crews and looted their ships before continuing to [[gaz:trade_town|Trade Town]]. | * The crew of [[gaz:sigurds_folly|Sigurd’s Folly]] was traveling to [[gaz:thule|Thule]] with two other longships but through the [[gaz:thulian_fog|accursed fog]] they could tell the other two were smashed by great tentacles that broke the surface of the sea.

| There seem to be numerous cults for worship, and stories abound about different factions and societies within [[gaz:great_church|the Great Church]] (although they are not told openly). Politics can also turn deadly in places like [[gaz:trade_town|Trade Town]] and no one is sure whose hands turn the screws most of the time.
