			===Dasher, Shadow Dirks Guildmaster, Dormiria===
			Dasher is at first appearance a typical Avlissian elf, standing only a few inches taller than five feet and a little underweight. He has long experience from a lifetime of travel around [[Negaria]] and his work with the Shadow Dirks eventually drew his interest to the refugees in Dormiria as they enter and leave the city on various plights. He has a keen interest in their protection but does not bask in the spotlight, nor does he have any desire for tremendous fame and wealth.

	===Hatch Jeekins, Powder Blades===		===Hatch Jeekins, Powder Blades===
	Hatch Jeekins is an imposing half-orc at over 6 ft tall, with a powerful build and impressive plate armor of fine Brekonian make. He is the face of the Powder Blades organization who creates the deals and manipulates the odds in its favor. The extent of the underworld empire in Dormiria that Hatch oversees is not known, but what is known is that he is well-connected to the [[Underdark]] and several surface rogue's guilds in other cities. His mercenaries primarily operate within [[The Seven Cities]], but it is not unheard of to find them as far away as [[Dubunat]] and the [[Kurathene]]. It may be that all of this relates to the drug smuggling supply that he cultivates and distributes to these places, or it may be for more hidden agendas.

	===Eastern Guard Tower===		===Eastern Guard Tower===
	On the southeastern side of the city, overlooking the river as it flows northward, is a large stone and brick guard tower with seven floors. The height and girth of this tower make it one of the larger buildings in the city and it serves as the central headquarters of the city guard of Dormiria. On the top level, the tower commands a 360-degree view of the land with siege weapons pointing upriver and downriver to protect the traffic. It is rumored that below the tower are even more levels which are used as jails and training halls. Few have returned from those areas after incarceration to tell the tale.

			===Romini Market===
			On the southeastern side of the city on the border between the Docks District and the Southern Refuge is a small neighborhood of collected straw dwellings and stands unofficially named the [[Romini]] Market. For the most part, the area is controlled by the [[Romini]] who inhabit it although few of them, if any, live there year-round. [[Romini]] subcultures that favor river travel have a knack for bringing special items to this so-called market, and those who know about it are keen to go there when they need to find something unusual. While goods generally come into Dormiria from a wide range of places, the [[Romini]] are more adept at it than most, and here is where they concentrate their business for offloading those goods.

	===Blandenberg Gate===		===Blandenberg Gate===
	In 2150, during the aftermath of the [[M%27Chek-T%27Nanshi_War\|M'Chek-T'Nanshi War]], migrant humans left [[M'Chek]] for [[Visimontium]], the [[Underdark]], and other places. One of these places was Dormiria. A small contingent of 5,000 M'Chekian refugees was magically portaled from the newly formed [[Blandenberg Protectorate]] to Dormiria using this gate as its focus for the portal. Hence, the gate's recent name commemorates that event. Aside from its magical history, the gate looks like a normal gate separating the northwest quarter of the Merchant's Ring from the Northern Refuge, though upon closer examination it is still possible to detect a magical aura around it as well as some energy scarring.

			===Southern Crossroad===
			On the southwestern side of the city, immediately beyond the city limits lies a crossroads. One fork proceeds west toward [[Stalwart]] while the other proceeds south to [[Red Gate]] and [[Crosstreams]]. This section of road is special due to a quirk of local law enforcement: the city guard does not patrol there and the armies of [[The Seven Cities]] consider it to be within the jurisdiction of Dormiria to enforce its laws there. Consequently, the area has turned into a small haven for anarchy and danger. Games of chance, nefarious drug deals, slave trading, and the occasional wild rave take place there without molestation on most nights. During the day, the perpetrators are careful to let traffic flow in and out of the city untouched to keep the city authorities from becoming concerned, but so long as they do not interfere with the normal functioning of Dormiria, both sides of the law are content to look the other way and play their parts.

	===Sister Hegatha Haleela, Mother Superior, The Sisters of Charity===		===Sister Hegatha Haleela, Mother Superior, The Sisters of Charity===
	Sister Hegatha is a middle-aged female orc who leads the operations of the Sisters of Charity in Dormiria. She has a "no frills" attitude towards getting things done, which gives her a somewhat grumpy countenance, but inside she has a soft heart of the purest gold. As far as leadership goes, Sister Hegatha leads from the front and is often out of the convent on a mission to help the poor. Those who try to catch a word with her can often find her in the worst neighborhoods of the city handing out food and clothing to the needy. It is no secret that Sister Hegatha reveres [[Gorethar]] and devotes her service to his name, but accepts any kind-hearted individual to join her cause.

	[[PCs:Miya_Ju%27ein \| Miya Ju'ein]] is a common sight among the poor and sick of Dormiria. The hands-on approach she and her now-deceased husband took to 'have their actions speak louder than their words' continues to follow her in every aspect of her life. Active and interested in individuals, the refugees of Dormiria have found in Miya a solid listener and authentic advocate for those in need. Her passion for the ideals of the [[Guild:IvoryOrder \| Ivory Order of The Sun]] are self-evident and she continues to passionately promote this order while meticulously tending its day-to-day tasks through rallying and recruiting mages posted to the area.

	Standing at just over 7 feet tall, Orfanos cuts an imposing figure among the inhabitants of Dormiria. Unlike many of his mixed heritage, he does not have the grotesque appearance most commonly associated with ogrekin. Instead his ogrish descent resulted an unusually pronounced, almost protruding jawline and a naturally well-defined musculature which in combination lend him a certain rugged handsomeness. These features are topped off with a mane of shoulder-length fiery ginger hair which is typically concealed beneath headwear of some description. His charismatic frame and refined demeanor make him seem deceptively nice, and he uses this to his advantage while running his chapter of the [[Guild:VioletOrder \| Violet Order]] in the city.

	===Ivory Order of The Sun===		===Ivory Order of The Sun===
	The [[Guild:IvoryOrder \| Ivory Order]] is an order of good-aligned mages focusing on using magic for altruism, compassion, and pragmatism. This makes the order well-suited for taking care of the incoming refugees from all over [[Negaria]]. As such, members of this organization are often seen in the outermost ring using their arts to tend to the destitute, often working closely with the Church of [[Dra'Nar]] here. On the political scene, the [[Guild:IvoryOrder \| Ivory Order]] plays the role of advocate for the downtrodden and sees to it that the city properly cares for them.

			===The Powder Blades===
			Part rogue's guild, part mercenary guild, part smuggling enterprise, the Powder Blades are usually the source of bad news on the streets. Their methods are brutal and sloppy, and they generally do not care who gets harmed in their wake. For the right amount of coin, any task is worth considering for their services. Most commonly, they act as guards for the low-society operations, but they are also known to import a variety of drugs into the city from down river. These activities along with other petty thievery cases puts them at odds with law enforcement and some other city organizations, but that does not seem to deter them.
