Notable NPCs
Senator Jasmin DeWitt: A late arrival to Godswon, this thirty-something senator from Wesburg is intent on mobilizing Avencia, but at the same time preserving constitutional law; Before she is willing to commit to the idea of Corellion involvement, Jasmin demands proof. She'll be accompanying the party nearer Ambros, intent on joining her fellow senators and substantiating the party's claims along the way.
Mayor Abernathy Teak: Portly, toothy, possessed of an impressive mustache, his mayoral virtues consisted of relaying Benjim's message and provisioning the group. At least he wasn't any sort of hurtle. In fact, he wasn't even a speed bump. If you had to guess, real authority in town likely rests with the Eradicator and Dare.
Eradicator Benedict Hollowin: Tall, grim, glaring, the leader of Godswon's heavenly order of Firebrands was ready to mobilize against the elves without any substantial proof. While he could be considered hasty by some, in Benedict's mind this is war and decisions must be made quickly and decisively.
Toril Kostus: Cured, recovering, and a de facto leader of the Scarlet Blades, Toril has devoted the eastern Blades toward either protecting Congress or scouting Edmark in hopes of eventually rescuing Anita and the other senators. Though hesitant to do so, he's also given Maia the okay to pursue her longshot mission with the gnolls.
Kinn: Theros' rival appeared in Godswon with troubling news. The entire tabari caravan had been captured and thrown into a Norslandian interment camp somewhere between Hawkmoon and Taldare. Consisting entirely of nonhumans, the prison uncomfortably echoes the imperial past and leaves the fate of Old Nen and the others in question. Kinn urged Theros to come with him, but the paladin wanted to enlist the party's help first.
Sweet Lips: One-Armed Bill's slutty sister, she enlisted Aleksi's aid in deterring many of Godswon's warhawks, veterans, and conscripts from abandoning the town and rushing off to join the Brotherhood of Man's "Free March". Seems as if this swelling crusade of Avencians is intent on circling the country gathering troops and supplies, then launching an attack on Edmark, regardless of how that might hinder General Warrish, Congress, or any other legitimate attempt to win back the nation. Aleksi wisely called in Avencia Dare.
Avencia Dare: Back home in Godswon, down an arm but up in spirits, the party couldn't help but marvel at how her return boosted the general morale. Beaver's Hall was rattling with song and merriment in celebration on the night of her return, and good thing, as her influence halted a majority of much-needed conscripts from abandoning their posts to join the Free March.
Notable Organizations
Church of Aventine (as glimpsed in Godswon's Chapel of the Liberator): More civic than any other religion in Othyr, Aventine's faith is ingrained in national politics. Churches are often used as meeting houses and town halls, and vice versa. In the minds of most Avencians, living free, earning and keeping what's theirs, and speaking one's mind are as much religious tenants as they are the responsibilities of every citizen.. It's miraculous how the church of Aventine manages to preserve the rustic nature of true, hard-earned democracy and avoid the corruptions that have turned so many other religions into leeching institutions and corpulent bureaucracies. Perhaps its Providence, or the collective virtues of keen minds, passionate hearts, and stalwart muscle which serves the church and state, be it as a parson or a senator.
