The hissing lisp doesn't seem to be because he's a lizardfolk, but rather something he developed after a mouth injury.

			A tall, dignified bugbear paladin devoted to [[Pelor]], Sir Anthony (he/him) serves as the alliance's formal leader -- chosen by the factions, after the initial attack on the Arboretum, for his equanimity and gravitas, but most of all for his impartiality. He reach the Badlands and took Pelor as his patron after fleeing [[Troverth]], where he'd served all his life until disillusionment with his homeland's reliance on Abyssal magic led him to turn away from his emperor and his ''Oath of the Crown'', and to take up a new solemn ''Oath of the People''.

			== Other Recurring Characters ==

			=== [[Erland Nimz]] ===
			The elf ruler of [[Jewelspar]], Archmage Nimz (he/him) visited the Badlands several times in his fabulous sandship, Shimmerwing, hiring adventurers to assist in his quest for a powerful weapon against the demons assaulting his city. On one occasion, he had a number of them accompany his Right Arm, Lirizel, to [[the Moon]] via [[Ta-Shedet]] to earn [[Eros]]' approval to craft ''Alchemical Frost'' there as part of his quest. He engineered other bleeding-edge alchemical tools, ''Theriac Effluvium'' and ''Galanodite'', to breach a vault nested inside a Prismatic Sphere within an Antimagic Field -- and in the end, the "weapon" he sought turned out to be a [[Mutated Chimera]], regarding which he had been explicitly warned by the Osteomancer, "You cannot wield it. None of us can."

			=== The Osteomancer ===
			A [[loxodon]] diviner residing in a desert bunker northwest of the Arboretum, the Osteomancer (she/her) has been in contact with alliance adventurers on several occasions. In one instance, she allowed a party to see each others' memories, tasked them with sealing a wound in reality, revealed how [[Swikedom]]'s Blood Law explained [[kobold]] involvement in the initial demon attack, and prophesied [[Erland Nimz]]'s release of the [[Mutated Chimera]]. Her kobold contact Eddarux (he/him) once guided a party into Swikedom to seize infernal weapons, and he helped another group gain entry to the lost dwarf hold of the Blazeforge clan.

A stout half-orc with a history as a mercenary, Gnash (she/they) wears a short, well-kept mohawk that fully reveals the burn scar covering the left side of her head and the nub of an ear remaining there. She arrived at the Arboretum in bad condition in 134 [[PR]] and stayed on out of gratitude after Dulfri and Misfit patched her up.

			When the initial demon attack on the trade hub united the factions, she stepped up as a combat trainer and as the de facto security director during the convalescence of her friend Sheriff Gooey. Possessing a clear devotion to the well being of the Arboretum and its surviving people, she soon proved a surprisingly effective leader in spite of her serious attitude and gruff mannerisms.
	Newcomers can be put off by her serious attitude and her terse, formal speech, but locals value her willingness to share her expertise in hand-to-hand combat techniques with those who want to to help defend the unusual trade hub. She spends much of her time assisting Gooey in keeping order in the relatively lively bit of wasteland surrounding the ancient tree.

			Steven (he/him) is a bearded dragon styled lizardfolk merchant in the Arboretum. He has a slight build, medium height, and has dusty brownish scales. He will not talk about his sordid past, nor about his sawed off tail stub. But he will talk to you freely about trade goods and payment plans. In fact, you can't really get him to shut up about the mundane goods he is selling in the marketplace. He's pretty shrewd, so talking him down from his set prices is pretty difficult. However, he loves talking smack and appreciates good gossip.

			== The Shepherds ==

			=== Duke Solon (The Duke) ===
			Not much is known about The Duke (he/him) at this point. However, it seems most of the decisions regarding trade come from him. Stay Tuned for more details!

			=== Lord Pavan ===
			The Duke's right hand man, Lord Pavan (he/him), is far more hands on with the happenings in the badlands than The Duke. He is the go between for relations between the Arboretum, the political side of the shepherds, and the agricultural side of the shepherds. He is constantly trying to find commonality between the factions in order to promote trade and facilitate cooperation. He is of medium height with short military styled hair and a slightly overgrown beard. His sweeping cape, regal demeanor, and faithful retainer Krispin, make him easy to spot in a crowd.

			=== Kareek and Stanley ===
			Though shifty by nature, Kareek (he/him) was brought into the Shepherd's fold after some trouble with the Federation. If pressed about it, Kareek won't say anything more than "It wassss a nassssssty businesssssss". The hissing lisp doesn't seem to be because he's a lizardfolk, but rather something he developed after a mouth injury. He is of medium build with yellow tinted scales and looks to be more like a spiny lizardfolk rather than a smooth scaled one.

			Now Kareek works as a trader, carrying goods across the badlands with his beloved mount Stanley. Stanley is a giant monitor lizard that was hand raised by Kareek. Naturally bad tempered and suspicious of others, he really only seems to tolerate select few apart from Kareek.

	===Gnash===		=== Gnash ===
	A stout half-orc with a history as a mercenary, Gnash (she/they) wears a short, well-kept mohawk that fully reveals the burn scar covering the left side of her head and the nub of an ear remaining there. She arrived at the Arboretum in bad condition in 134 [[PR]] and stayed on out of gratitude after Dulfri and Misfit patched her up.

	Newcomers can be put off by her serious attitude and her terse, formal speech, but locals value her willingness to share her expertise in hand-to-hand combat techniques with those who want to to help defend the unusual trade hub. She spends much of her time assisting Gooey in keeping order in the relatively lively bit of wasteland surrounding the ancient tree.

			=== Dapple ===
			With the curling horns and the woolly flanks of a bighorn ram, Dapple (they/them) the satyr is the current stable-master. Originally from the shepherd's end of the desert, they agreed to become the stable-master after a nasty falling out with the "policies" of Duke Solon. Now they live happily in the arboretum.

			It's hard to tell how old they truly are, but they've been caring for the mounts and animals of the stables of the Arboretum for nearly a decade. They are outspoken and stern to those who would rent or buy the animals, but overall a caring soul. However, wary be the traveler who gets on her bad side by hurting or losing one of the mounts under her care.
