 Elkir was originally a member of a community from the western reaches, but they were wiped out with few survivors who were scattered to the wind. She now uses her pyrokinetic powers and fighting skills to work as a guard for hire, and she's been with the traders for much of the current journey. She mostly keeps to herself, but has proven quite bold on the couple of occasions that the group has been threatened, clearly acting with a bit of fatality. Elkir was originally a member of a community from the western reaches, but they were wiped out with few survivors who were scattered to the wind.

He has decided to hand over operation of the mine to Lallana, however, so that he can travel with The Show, and has removed himself from the matchmaking this year.

The Grubport locals seem to think his soujourns in the Central Lands have made him effete, despite clearly actually being a pretty tough customer in some ways.

-{{ https://i.pinimg.com/564x/96/8f/6a/968f6a426de0a0385ff76dbd599de344.jpg?100}} 
-The head of the Urag family, the rulers of Grubport. While putatively run buy a council of elders of the most important families of Grubport (who make their homes upon the deck of the old ruined aircraft carrier that comprises Grubport), this family is deferred to by all of the others. According to sources, Urag is garnering weapons to create some sort of personal army.

-Daugher of the elder Urag, this one is cold, vapid, and grasping. Not particularly bright, her only thoughts are of her own security and comfort. She previously sought to marry Khovip to obtain the wealth of his mine.

-Leader of a group of Grubporters who perform religious skits at festivals and other various events. Asked if his group could play on the stage of The Show, and was manipulated by Squiddy into arguing with Herald M'kan about matters of belief. Clearly a devout Dowinite.

-{{ https://i.pinimg.com/564x/98/f8/39/98f83923a7e09bf1b257a62faa0e8bb6.jpg?100}} 
-Rumored to be from Army Crossing, Alitec is suspected of being an somewhat of an agent provocatuer, or at least a criminal sent in by one of the border lords to sew chaos. Alitec is known to run games of chance, including "table-races" of small mutant animals at The Famous Root, and knows how to get in touch with Doc Potamus. Urag suspects Alitec of being involved in much more nefarious stuff than just gambling, and wants his ilk out of Grubport.

-=== Victwor === 
-{{ https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ae/c9/bb/aec9bbe4d2756426b20b54d0b66736bd.jpg?100}} 
-Proprietor of The Famous Root, the only drinking establishment in Grubport. Victwor's father was the only surviving member of an expedition to the ruined city in which Skybranch exists, and he returned with a huge section of root. The same root for which the bar is named, and which hangs on it's wall, dripping sap continually from which "vine wine" is made; a potent concoction that has variable effects on different drinkers, but is clearly linked to Skybranch's immense mental abilities.

Taktalk is glad that the PCs gave him the push to take the plunge. He's a bit bewildered by his (much older) match, Olkan's Daughter, but willing to do what Dowin wills (he's also unaware that there was any chicanery involved or that the matches were anything but Dowin's will). One gets the feeling that he's trying to grow up very fast.

A former captain of the Peninsula Guard, Olkan is fairly set in his ways. He was very interested in marrying off his children, and particularly uncaring of his daughter'desires. However, Olkan is delighted that his daughter is married off to the son of the Chief, Takalk, and the PCs convinced him, now OK that his son will wait another year to be married. He doesn't feel that he owes the PCs, but he's now generally favorably disposed towards them because of the dealings regarding his children.
