Jherek
Jherek is a mysterious robed figure with a no-
nonsense attitude, a stern voice, and an intensity
that can be offsetting to anyone meeting him for
the first time. He is a member of the Harpers, a
group that strives to protect the Realms from evil.
There are rumors that he has the support of the
Dukes of Baldur's Gate, and his arrival on the scene
is usually a guarantee that some great evil is afoot.
Karne
A thief by trade and an opportunist by nature,
Karne is a bandit who has been known to ply his
trade in Baldur's Gate and throughout the Sword
Coast. There are many rewards posted for his
capture, but he has never been caught. Rumors
claim he has recently returned to Baldur's Gate
after an extended journey north and that he now
serves a powerful (and wealthy) patron... though the identity of the
patron is anyone's guess.
MONSTERS
Kobolds
These cowardly little dog-headed
humanoids are known for their rapid
breeding and their tendency to mob any
adventurers that invade their territory. They
prefer to attack from a distance when
possible with spears or spells, and many
shamans can be found amongst their tribes.
White Dragon
White dragons can be found in extremely
cold environments, making their lairs in icy
caverns safe from the rays of the sun. These
dragons are fearsome opponents; not only
can they bite and claw opponents for
horrendous amounts of damage, but they
also have the ability to breathe a cone of
frost at opponents, freezing them solid and
rendering them helpless.

CHARACTERS
You'll meet many people in Dark Alliance, some friendly, some... not.
“Lady” Alyth Elendara
Alyth is a half-elven bartender that owns the
Elfsong Tavern in Baldur's Gate. A peculiar
establishment frequented by outlaws and pirates,
the Elfsong Tavern gets its name from a beautiful
female elven voice that can be heard singing in the
tavern when night falls. No one knows why the
spirit sings her sad lament, but it is heartbreaking to
listen to and keeps patrons returning to the tavern night after night.
Bartley
Bartley is a crusty equipment shop owner with a
voice that sounds like it's coming from deep within
an empty wine cask. He has set up shop in the
Elfsong Tavern with Alyth's permission, and he has
a fine selection of goods that players can buy...
and he's always on the look out to buy any choice
treasures adventurers come across in their journeys.
Ethon
Ethon's a regular in the Elfsong Tavern; he's a
sharp, helpful fellow who’s always willing to share a
drink as well as give tips to aspiring adventurers —
even if the advice is simply to warn them to steer
clear of adventure and take up less dangerous
pursuits. He spends most of his time sitting in a
corner of the Elfsong Tavern, watching people
come and go — and occasionally playing “gopher” for Alyth by running
down to the Elfsong cellar and fetching bottles of wine for her.
Fayed
Fayed is a fresh-faced young priest of Ilmater (the
goodly god of suffering and martyrs) who is in
charge of the burial services and interring ashes in
the crypts beneath the Shrine of Suffering (the
temple of Ilmater in Baldur's Gate). He is proud of
his responsibilities at the Shrine, and his superiors
are quite pleased with his performance.
