Major NPCs:
Sir Essil Winthrop was knighted by an Efreeti Noble in the City of Bronze in the Elemental Realm of Fire. Of course, he wears this badge with pride, and insists on being called 'ser,' and this has landed the company in hot water with local nobles on the prime in the past. Despite this- Essil still introduces himself as such, and under no circumstances will compromise on it.
He is the leader of your band, charismatic and knowledgeable - he was fortunate enough to find the remains and belongings of a true Planeswalker, and since then- used it to travel the myriad realms of the world beyond the Prime, his eyes having seen horizons only witnessed by the truly powerful in the past. He leads by example- and will not ask of you what he is unwilling to do himself.
Jacob "Gillbreather" Harrison
Jacob is a Water Genasi Wizard specializing in portals, conjuration, and the planes in general- and, frankly, never bothered to learn other spells.
Despite this, he is never far from Essil's side in combat, and he known to value tea very much, and has, in the past, scorned any establishment that did not serve it- nearly dying from dehydration in the Plane of Fire before Essil held him down and forced him to drink the water. He is taciturn, and only speaks in any measure when drunk.
