☰ A wizard elementalist seeking to unlock the secrets of the Five Elements, communing with ancestral spirits with burnt incense, and divining the fates with bamboo tablets and strange logograms

☰ A rogue with mastery of the Nine Poisons and the eight-silent-ways-to-kill-without-a-sound, trying to make himself a master of venoms and poisons, an assassin questing for rare and potent alchemies

☰ A cleric of the Immaculate Path, sagacious, ancient and wise, bearing with him old wisdoms and an encylopedic knowledge of the Classics and the Records

☰ An alchemist trying to find the secrets to immortality in the form of medicinal pills and rare herbs, concocting strange mercurial wonders that sometimes seem a lot more likely to shorten one's life than lengthen it...

☰ A secret Yuan-ti that--... Spoilers.

☰ A scheming politician infiltrating the Bishopric of the Triune and trying to introduce the philosophy of the Immaculate Path into its teachings

☰ A merchant trying to reopen the Golden Road of Silk and Spices, trading in high-quality silk, satchets of firepowder, jade and ivory and wonders besides
