Character Spotlight

They used to steal to survive. Now they steal people back from the dark.

Mara Thorne

Mara Thorne is the kind of person Nightside tries to break, and somehow doesn’t. She heals first and asks questions later, even when doing the right thing is risky. She started as a back alley medic for thieves and runners, until she realized the people who needed help most were the ones who couldn’t pay.

Now she takes Lantern Guild jobs for the access: places to go, people to protect, and just enough leverage to do real good in a city that punishes it. Mara still bends rules and keeps secrets, but when it matters, she chooses people over profit. In Nightside, that counts as brave.

Kindness, sharpened into a weapon.
A good heart in a bad city.

Sable Rynn

Sable Rynn is a Veil Scribe, a wizard who learned early that knowledge keeps you alive. She used to run small cons and sell translations just to make it to the next day.

Now she takes Lantern Guild jobs for access and protection, and because she would rather stand with her crew than survive alone. Sable still keeps a few secrets close, but when things go wrong, she is the first to stay and the last to quit.

Soft heart, sharp mind.
She protects what she chooses.

Soren Ashfall

Soren Ashfall is a half elf blade for hire with a reputation for finishing what he starts. He used to run with thieves and enforcers, doing the ugly work that kept everyone else clean.

Now he takes Lantern Guild jobs because the pay is steady and the cause is almost worth believing in. Soren acts like he does not care, but he watches every door, counts every exit, and steps in when it matters.
