The Council
Formerly a means for the three separate rulers of Marrull Vaar to co-operate on the most strictly necessary level as neighbours, the council now forms a means for the population and its ruler to start building a fully functional city... at least, as functional as it gets in a city on the borders of creation ruled and occupied by beings of such fantastic power.

Bellar - Ruler of the City

Bhailu De – Overseer of the shipping yards. A Mygdon man in his 40s, and friend of Khungwa and Last Prince of the Tomb.

Man Fa – Daoshi [high priest] of Thales' temple. Having gone to ground after Thales was overthrown, the Circle thwarted his plot to turn the city against Bellar and the Circle, but spared his life and that of the remaining priesthood in exchange for them becoming the staff of the Three Sisters Dam.

Hong Li – Representative from the Tradesmen's Union, from the Southern side of Marrull Vaar. A talented silk-weaver, his age is catching up to him but he still seeks to carry out his duties as best he can.

Rustling Cricket – Representative of the newly formed Inland Fisherman's Union (combination of the Frog and Eel fishermen). A deeply strange and eccentric man, Rustling Cricket has rapidly gone from being just another eel fisherman to a man in a political role he is utterly unsuited for.

Cold Harbour – Captain of Belar's Guards, and now head of the combined City Guard of Marrull Vaar.

Khungwa – Longshoremen Union Rep, who is Tengese but has some Sea People ancestry. A cordial man fond of teasing his friends.

Mohan Rao – A Yensei man, who acts as the trade representative from The Guild, recently returned from Zhaojun. A smooth and savvy politician, but one who seems genuinely interested in improving the stability and infrastructure of Marrull Vaar... albeit for far from altruistic reasons.

Tidebreaker – Representative of the Fishermen clans, retired fisherman and member of the Tya.

The above are the nine councillors who currently decide on matters in the combined, post-Heartsong & Thales version of Marrull Vaar. Representatives from the major families also attend to "make their voices heard".

Tradesmen's Union
Hyung Man-Chao – Head of the Union, Carpenter

Wang – "A man who looks like an old, sad monkey. On his shoulder is a monkey that looks like an old, sad man. Both have matching noses and neither one looks pleased to see you." The union's secretary.

Dragon-eyes Pei – A small, wiry old woman who could nonetheless plait wicker reeds into a tapestry with her bare hands.

Wen Tae

Min Jeong

Hong Li – See The Council entry above.

Upper Class
Scented Breeze - Tengese, going back several generations. Has considerable social influence but limited fiscal weight.


 * of Sandalwood (Patriarch)
 * of Jasmine (Wife of Sandalwood)

Zhao Chijun - Zhao, claiming noble heritage (hence the 'Zhao' in their clan name), which begs the question of why they are living in Marrull Vaar.


 * Song (Matriarch)
 * Ryuk (Husband of Song)

Golden Finger - Tengese, very financially powerful


 * Hotei (Patriarch) - A rotund, larger than life figure, eager to be seen as a patron of the city... but needs talking into spending the money accordingly.
 * Chi-an (Wife of Hotei) - a similarly rotund and amiable woman, though rather more subdued and shy. Was sat next to Meng at the Circle's first party in the city, and was utterly terrified of him as a result.

Lower Class
Stone Wolf - Tengese, descended from original hunters of area


 * Zhang (Patriarch) - An intense, vibrant man in the past, he is recently returning to his old self after coming to terms with the death of his wife.
 * Ming (Wife of Zhang) - Died roughly a year ago when her and her husband's boar capsized, during which she hit her head on a rock under the surface and died three days later, having never regained consciousness.

Iron Soul - Tengese, descended from local ironmongering clans.


 * Wu (Patriarch) - A dry-humoured man who has clearly lived a life of hard labour, he nonetheless is quite altruistic when it comes to pitching in for the defences of the city.

Wong
Apprenticed to Hephastia during the events of The Hollow City, Wong was creative and innovative, turning out delightfully patterned pottery. However his muse struck him frequently and he would never finish any two plates or bowls in the same way. The market for such eclectic pottery was small and so he had found little success. He is married to  Pei , who sometimes asks herself what her husband has gotten himself into.

Sung
Apprenticed to Hephastia during the events of The Hollow City, Sung was precise and detail oriented, but seemed afraid to break from what she knew. She would turn out 50 perfectly serviceable nails or horse shoes, but wouldn't branch out unless given very precise instructions on what she should do. Her work lacked artistic flourish and individuality.

Sound Foundation
A short, sturdy man from a village near Stilt Walker whose team of builders were hired to help clean up the Seven Sisters Dam, and who have remained in Hephastia's employ since. Helped bring about the Golden Finger Hotei Aqueduct and he and his team are now helping build the Watchtowers outside Marrull Vaar.

Poets
Heavenly Pentameter -

Scintilating Prose – Handles the props

Adamantine Verse – does the war ballads

Soliloquy amongst the Cherry Blossoms –

The artist formerly known as "Koan" – The poem is the silence inbetween the words

Hateful Dirge Princess – is working through some things

Other People of Note
The Solar Circle - Somewhat infamous

Two-Berth Zhang – head rickshaw driver, so big his rickshaw is two smaller ones strapped together. Despite being such a massive man he speaks with a timid, high-pitched voice. Lent the aid of his rickshaw drivers in transporting supplies to The Foot in order to help build the Watchtowers.

Spider Bones Chao – A fisherman with dwarfism stemming from his fragile bones. Has a boat he custom built himself to aid him in fishing in the waterways of the Wreckers' Coast swamps.

Chi-Chi - A local woman who now acts as the housekeeper at the Dragonbloods' compound.

Ho Chi, local merchant – Has a wooden sign he brings with him saying "Ho Chi, Local Merchant" on it

Soaring Currawong - The half-Tengese half-Anaatha advisor to Bellar from the Southeast of Marrul Vaar. Advised the circle about Anaathalay.

Seung Woo-Kim – Paper Merchant
