Lenidor Quarmado

Born and raised in Silgrad, Lenidor has spent a great deal of his youth and middle years travelling to the various centers of knowledge, visiting the great scholars and learning from them. Driven by an almost unsatiable curiousity and the desire to help people he later returned to his home town and set up his famous - though some would call it nptorious - laboratory, where he is occupied day and night devising things that are meant to improve the life especially of the common people.
Not all of his experiments went well though and thus his frequent calls for volunteers are met with anxiety by the inhabitants of Silgrad, who are always willing to send an unwary adventurer on the way.

Esmeralda

You can't talk about Lenidor Quarmado and leave out Esmeralda. Accepting the challenge that 'it is impossible to tame a Nix-hound', he underwent quite some hazards to come back with a little Nix-hound pup. Even though he was a frequent visitor of the healers in the first months he finally reached his goal. Esmeralda guards the house when Lenidor is immersed in his experiments and it is rumoured that she can tell those visitors who come with good intention from those who don't.

Thatis Nidioth

A fierce and devout follower of House Hlaalu, Thatis Nidioth is the by far richest man in Silgrad and a force to be reckoned with. Although not very educated he is a sly and cunning man who prefers to pull the strings behind the curtain instead of taking a place of power himself like when he threw in his weight when it came to choose a new representative for House Hlaalu in the Silgrad council.
On the other hand he enjoys to show off his immense wealth and not many people in Silgrad were overly surprised when he build a monument in Mournhold style over his family tomb, simply because he liked it.

Sheesa Nidioth

There are many things to be said about Sheesa Nidioth, but nobody with a decent instinct of self-preservation would do that in the open. Being married to the Nidioth treasure for over four decades, Sheesa Nidioth has become one of the most feared citizens of Silgrad. The fact that she is idolized by her husband didn't improve matters, especially for the slaves and servants of the Nidioth household or for those who got between her and what she wants.
And she wants many things.

Hisan Nidioth

Being the only son of Thatis and Sheesa Nidioth, Hisan didn't inherit the interest in the family business, much to the disappointment of his father. But neither did he inherit the ill temper of his mother, much to the relieve of anybody else. He spends most of his time at Nidioth Residence outside the town , where he and his wife are organizing feasts and receptions for the younger citizens of Silgrad.

Nota Nidioth

Hisan's wife for three years now, Nota is the only member of the Nidoth family who is genuinely liked by the people of Silgrad, high and low alike. Be it her gorgeous looks, her always kind and friendly attitude or the fact that she's not afraid of her mother-in-law and that she stood up against her on various occasion, you won't find anyone saying a bad word about her.
How the intelligent woman achieved to marry Hisan against the will of his mother is her secret (as is her past, though rumours say that she's a former dancer), but it is obvious that the two are deeply in love with each other.
