Worldly Resources
The Cultu Solis has given Diana the Saspish Observatory as an initial base for her re-purposed order, complete with telescopic observing dome, library, personal chateau and living quarters for 100 initial members. The Tribunal has also seen fit to dedicate 500,000 gp to the cause, kept in a hidden vault for purposes of fortifying, living expenses, renovation and expansion. Alistar Huma will act as resident castellan-astrologer, aided by Erasmus Ruiz as often as he can spare time.

New NPCs
Celunduil the Gold (formerly the Golden Woman): The golden elder dragon, she is an ancient and compassionate being that as long cooperated with the races of Othyr toward the betterment of all- counting herself a Kalindian and member of the Tribunal. Sister to Reedthagn the Green and Yathnoc the Red, she is comparable in scope and power. Mentioned at least one dregoi daughter.

Zerthimon (formerly Lord in the Light): The most mysterious of the Tribunes, represented as a wizened male voice hidden in white light. He has an intimate knowledge of the Hearts, which thus far he's kept to himself. Celunduil is convinced he'll inform the Tribunal when the time is right, lest he wouldn't have mentioned anything at all or made himself known to the Solis.

Pilifus Flestus (dead): A grotesque and over-rated assassin from the Ordo waiting within the king's private chambers. He made himself known to Isabella and Renato, looking to kill the latter. Despite his magnetic wires, he fell very far from the mark, and welcomed death once defeated. Once he was Ruiz, before the 'Dir got a hold of him, looking to turn him- like so many others- into their fabled Living Weapon. They, too, fell well short the mark.

Returning NPCs
Queen Victoria Il'spana: Having reconciled with Isabella, she'd just time enough to describe her suspected conspiracies before being taken away in manacles by order of the king, thanks largely to the information provided by Olivianna that Isabella was alive.

King Dante Il'spana: The king of the night, undermined at every turn by his rivals and the city's rogue elements, put down his foot with the secrets his wife insisted on keeping, chief among them that his daughter was still alive. No amount of pleading could stop him from locking Victoria in the Devil's Tower. He promised Isabella a fair hearing of all sides the story, but insisted on keeping the marquess in close confidence.

Marquess Olivianna Ruiz-Lorein: The snake whispering sweet nothings and clever manipulations into Dante's ear, she's proven herself a formidable political player, using the information of Isabella's survival to remove Victoria and launch herself into a position of pseudo-queen. Though her larger objectives are unknown, she's toted a black widow, one who now commands the forces Tepest, the most vital port in the Saspish Kingdom and the landing point for all Tir'bukan ships.

Erasmus 'Pietro' Ruiz: Revealed to be Diana's uncle on her father's side, her true father's side that is, Erasmus has pledged to aid her however he can, to avenge the death of Giovanna Savrano, and see his brother freed.

Alistar Huma: The mad astrologer is recently proven a key component of the Cultu Solis and the Saspish Observatory, now Diana's home base. His knowledge and skills will no doubt be vital to the continued success of the order.
