Rilon has been defeated (for the time being), a third branch has spawned (one with Iridiel, Domhnall and Claw). and some things have happened inside Zerul City with the characters who before were out it, but other than that, the "story until now" should be more or less up to date. As for characters, we currently (including NPCs) have: Two agile attacker-from-shadows assassin types (Ixion and Morgan) and one lithe thief (Thaler). Two predominantly swordsmen (Aemoten and Jaelnec; Jaelnec also has throwing knives, both have some skill with other weapons). Two crossbow-wielders (Domhnall and Iridiel; Domhnall also has a spear and Iridiel has deity-given healing powers). Two physically formidable beasts (Etakar and Claw/Ajanok; Claw also has sound magic). One full mage (I'on). One pretty much non-combat character (Olan). ...In addition, there are two horses (one Aemoten's, one a deceased group member's), a donkey (a deceased group member's), a raven (a deceased would-be group member's) and a wolf (Iridiel's). As for dwarves and elves, then those have been replaced with penin and deigan respectively for this setting. Deigan have feathers for hair, but are otherwise fairly elf-like - a ranger/hunter type would most likely be a free deigan.
