Punting and iconics 1: Dominic and Kimnor

My relocation continues to stumble. Almost every minor detail has required supervision. I don't know when I'll get my computer set up and online, but realistically I doubt it will be before next week. So let's punt and do a summary cut of Shadows Over Garenport over several posts, using my AI images instead of Hero Forge ones. First, the iconic PCs. All iconics by default are assumed to be 4th level forever, but of course, I imagine that this entire campaign "season" would take the real characters from first to maybe third level. 

Dominic Clevenger: mid twenties, former Shadow Ranger, but now freelance after exposing corruption within the Ranger Corps. Wears leather traveling/work/fighting clothes and his signature item is a coonskin cap. Carries a recurved bow and cavalry saber.

Sir Liamond Wreldane, the secret head of the Shadow Division is his contact. 


Audley Hardwicke is his enemy, the Ranger who's corruption he exposed.


Kimnor "Kim" Rugova: Expat who wanders the Hill Country. Dominic's best friend and traveling companion and partner in hunting evil. Although clearly of Zobnan ancestry, Kimnor dresses in Hillmen fashion, refuses to talk about Lomar and refuses to go there. Comes across as fun and reasonably carefree, but there's an edge there that hints at some kind of darkness in his past.


Kimnor is a little fast and loose sometimes with "the law" (his scare quotes, not mine); perhaps unsurprisingly his contact is Shule, the goblin informant.


Bethan Arghavad was once his fiancé. When she fell victim to the Hyperborean curse, she was taken by the authorities in Lomar, declared dead, and put to death. Except.. Somehow she isn't dead, and is now a flesh-consuming dhampyr; a fate worse than death. How the curse was sufficiently diverted that she didn't become a mindless ghoul is her secret, but she has become a monster, evil beyond all reason. Kimnor doesn't know any of that yet and believes her dead. ..
