Gwellat Hammermind
The bastard son of a dwarven noble house, Gwellat never fit in among his people, instead craving the open skies. Denied this dream for most of his young life, he grew resentful. His bitterness turned into anger that struck as fast as lightning, and the magical powers he manifested were just as unpredictable and destructive. Upon reaching adulthood, he learned the secret of his true heritage. Angry that the secret was kept from him for so long, he unleashed his most destructive spells on his clan, killing many of them. He fled his home to chase the storms he always longed to be a part of.

Remel Levath
Remel Levath has always craved control. She's certain that if people just did what she wanted them to, there would be peace and order—for her, at least. When the petty motivations and stupid behaviors of the "rabble" get in the way, she has no choice but to magically manipulate them into doing the "right" thing. If they still don't, she unleashes her righteous fury in a spray of purifying acid.
Combat Encounters:Remel sees all altercations as the fault of the other parties, and tends to shout her disappointment throughout the battle, encouraging them to lay down their arms—though not all who surrender receive mercy.
Roleplaying Suggestions:Always arrogant and often argumentative, Remel employs enchantment spells even in casual conversation. Despite her prejudices, she knows that she needs like-minded individuals to aid in enforcing her will. She can be surprisingly flattering and friendly toward those with the good sense to follow her directions in all things.
