Characters

Deekin Scalesinger
Deekin is a member of the kobold clan "Dripping Fang". Unlike most kobolds, Deekin is not satisfied with looting and stealing. His greatest wish is to become a bard and write an epic saga that will stand the test of time. Seeing as most kobolds are anything but "epic", Deekin has decided to look for a hero more fitting of his talents. 
 
Drogan Droganson
The mentor of the protagonist of SoU.  He tasks the player with recovering the artifacts while he recovers his health after an attack early in the story.  Later, he teleports and meets the player in a ruin and helps him activate a portal.  He sacrifices himself for the player by holding up the ruins with magic while the protagonist escapes. 
 
Heurodis
The main antagonist in SoU, a medusa and eventually a lich.  Killed by the protagonist at the end of the expansion.
