Diego Cheval
Father of Montego. An older brother to Silvio.
Diego took it upon himself to train the younger knights. So strict was he, that if they wanted a day off, they had to be wherever he was not.
“Rules are not so easily discarded, not without careful consideration of the greater good.”
Pellegrino DeNapoli
The last living son of the elder Argento. Pelegrino is the father of Desanto and grandfather to a baby boy, as yet unnamed.
Pellegrino never was much of a swordsman, but with his axe, he’s as lethal as the rest. Ferocious as a Bulmon-gahnee.
“We must remember those who came before us. It is the doom of the Brotherhood should we forget.”
Pellegrino DeNapoli
Silvio Cheval
Younger brother to Diego. Father of Angelo, Gaetano, Victoria, and little Jessa. Grandfather to a baby boy, as yet unnamed.
A hard charger and a hard man he is. But just as hard-headed. If fear ever touched that man, it only made him bolder.
“At eighteen I stood against an Ogre, one-on-one and lived to tell the tale!”
Argento soaked in the warmth of the forge and the resounding clang of the hammer striking the red-hot iron; a sound, which gave the listener a pretense of headway. But Argento wasn’t fooled by its pleasing ring of progress. He knew from his old age, the simple truth of life, that even when things seem to be getting easier, life continues on, all the while becoming more difficult.
Argento DeNapoli
“We are a clan of warriors who seek honor and valor above all else. The All-Father is our guide in this life and the next.”
The old man knew how to influence the dwarf. HammerThorn was all the muscle Argento DeNapoli had left.

“In all my travels, I’d never met men as noble as the Knights of the Brotherhood. Truly, they are men of distinction. When trouble threatens, they rise to meet it, bold as any dwarf. A sign—from the All-Father. The rest, to me, are like children, pretending to be great men.”
Three generations the dwarf had befriended. Strict, and steady in his resolve, he always had the knights’ best interests at heart.
“We who are sworn to serve the All-Father show no fear in the presence of his enemies, that he may love us like a brother.”
Argento DeNapoli
The Ogres
The most durable race on Terra Firma, but certainly not the smartest.
The Bulmon-gahnee
A savage ever-warring goblinoid race. They revel in battle and combat.
The Ghur
Demonic Hyena-headed spawn of `the Gaunt One. A demon whose hunger has no end.
They were the last of their kind…
