An ensemble, not a single opening party
Campaign 4 begins by bringing a large group of people into the aftermath of Thjazi Fang’s execution. Some are family. Some fought beside him. Others arrive from noble houses, religious institutions, criminal networks and older magical traditions.
This guide keeps the cast-to-character answer simple while linking each person to deeper coverage. Ancestries, classes and occupations appear only when Campaign 4 has established them; anything not yet confirmed stays open.
