Galn is believed to be a mirrored copy of another stone giant, altered by Demik or one of his underlings to fight for the side of the Undead.

He fought well and hard against the dwarves during the assaults on preRakore, and he learned the bitter taste of defeat against the Ch'Kr'Sril.

Ritarinne (f gray elf): DECEASED. She was Vyrboth's apprentice before the Storm Wars. During the Wars, she was given her freedom to pursue and destroy Nathel's armies at every opportunity, and she did so with remarkable success. She apparently passed the time since the Storm Wars by being in stasis much of the time, and only being awakened when her familiar, the green dragon Phasith, deemed it necessary. She was married for most of the time since the Storm Wars to Henrik “Prat” Kamus, one of the 'Defenders of Arpelos'. She was killed when an old enemy of Prat's, the demilich Kilreptus, detonated a delayed-blast fireball inside of her rib cage.

Like most of Demik's followers, he was destroyed at the Battle of the Undead.

She was killed by a simultanous strike from the front and the back to her heart by Nodrom Fistforger and Malkir Rakore.

Simon Luminar (m human): He carries the Mantle of the Order of the Blinding Light, is First Prelate of that organization, and serves as general in the battles against the undead, under Arpelos. During the Storm Wars, Simon was an antipaladin for Nathel, and nearly succeeded in his genocide of the gnomes. Unable to bring himself to completely kill all of the gnomes, he sought retreat from Nathel's cruelty with the Sebre Druids. There, he returned to goodness, and sought reinstatement as a paladin. Yatindar, Simon's god before Nathel, would have had Simon serve out his punishment for genocide. Arpelos, desperate for followers in the new realm of Gaeleth, took Simon in, and sealed Simon's destiny as a paladin of Arpelos. His speech, “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight; let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, the Blinding Light,” inspired a number of warriors and paladins to join Arpelos in his battle against all evil undead.

Sholk (m human): DECEASED. A mage during the Storm Wars, he founded the Mage Mires to hunt down the wizards and sorcerors of the time. He preceeded the purges after the Storm Wars, and his death probably served to fan the flame of the purges. He was killed during an assault on Vyrboth's lair.

During the Storm Wars, his powerful magics aided the Karatikan nations in their struggles against the evil god Nathel. He was instrumental in a number of attacks on Nathelian troops and leaders, and proved valuable in his defense of much of the north after Nabrol came to power after Nathel's death. He created a number of magical items during his time, and was responsible for summoning Tellarian Hawke to Gaeleth through the Shield. Vyrboth, a follower of Agincoth, was well aware of his own destiny, and the destiny of Gaeleth in the years to come. It was he who helped set about Gaeleth's escape from the Oddity that formed the Shield. He also helped created the Vaults of the Gods, and the stone golems that would guard them. He was killed by his son, Carl, just after the Storm Wars ended.
