Characters · Living Ledger
Company dossiers and field entries from the Hommlet road.
This archive leaf keeps one road in focus: who travels with the company, who has entered play around them, what places now matter, and which threats have moved from rumor into record.
Every entry carries three anchors — adventure, status, and first seen — so future chapters can separate current work from archived campaigns without turning this page into an encyclopedia. The current ledger tracks The Temple of Elemental Evil.
