What I'm curious to know is that are there specific "regions" in the game world that each of the characters from that would help in narrowing down names?	Posted by TombRocket on Aug 5, 2017, 9:11:52 AM Quote this Post
I think the only one with a cultural background other than Oriathan is the Marauder. At least Nessa refers to pretty much everyone else as "back in Oriath" in some way, although it's slightly ambigious sometimes and there is the possibility of characters having come to Oriath from elsewhere, of course. But as far as we actually know at this point, they are Oriathan. Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.
