• Brother Absalar Zantus (human): It is telling, perhaps, that the caretaker of the Borderpoint Temple is not a Cleric of Onyx or Scapolite or even Amethyst. Brother Zantus is a Cleric of Diamond hailing from the Kingdom of Alexandrite. He is the very model of a town Cleric, pleasant and concerned with the lives of others. He is also very open and becoming quite skilled in guiding others in the worship of Totems beyond his own.
• Naffer Vosk (human): Originally, Naffer Vosk was a smuggler but when his ship wrecked just north of town a decade ago the injuries he suffered meant he could never go back to that life. The former town Cleric, Brother Tobyn, took pity on Vosk and hired him as caretaker of the Borderpoint Boneyard. Vosk has reformed his ways and is now a low-level Cleric of Scapolite himself.
• Rough Runner the Innkeeper of the Firebringer Tribe (human): Rough Runner owns the White Deer, a beautiful inn with an impressive view of the gulf. Decades ago, his parents gave up the Thulite life and settled in Borderpoint. Rough Runner regrets that decision and longs to run in the Steppes. His view of Thulite life might be overly romanticized but his ties to the community and his family keep him in Borderpoint. Rough Runner has a feud with his brother, Sheriff Iron Spine, because he believes his brother has abandoned his Thulite culture.
• Veznutt (gnome): An older gnome who loves maps and sees them as windows into history. He owns the Way North, a map shop. He often guest lectures on history at the Sovrano Academy at the request of his best friend and former adventuring companion, Isolari.
• 1.61803398875 (modron): Considered by many to be the town's strangest resident, 1.61803398875 runs a jewelry shop. He often has troubles grasping simple social concepts, though he's learned the value of a proper exchange of coin for good and the need to hire guards for his store. Still, he often forgets to lock the door.
• Sea Cow (darfellan): Sea Cow is rather fat and crude but he has cornered the market of dungsweeping and trash collecting in Borderpoint. He employs roughly two dozen thugs and vagrants to pick up trash in town and dump it over Junker's Edge. Not only does this keep the town clean but it keeps many would-be trouble makers gainfully employed and relatively calm. Lately, Sea Cow has been causing trouble and harassing women at local taverns.
• Brodert Quink (human): Quink is a balding scholar who claims to have spent several decades studying dwarven engineering in the Ruby Kingdom and several more as a cataloger at the Archive in Vesicule. He is a solid researcher but seems bitter that his academic life has ended as a sage in a small town.
• Silune the Honest ibn Aziza Al-Pazad (kobold): Silune is a capable locksmith and an honest one. He detests crime and believes his life's work is to find ways to foil thieves. He's also a patron of the arts and never misses a show at the Borderpoint Theater.
• Iron Spine the Sheriff of Borderpoint (human): A Thulite tribesman who immigrated with his family to Borderpoint at a young age, Iron Spine has all but abandoned his heritage to the point that he refers to Borderpoint instead of his tribe when giving his name. Iron Spine inherited his post from the previous holder, Casp Avertin, who died at the hands of the Chopper. Iron Spine has a not-as-secret-as-he-would-like relationship with Kaye Tesarani, the madame of the Pixie's Kitten.
• Crusher the Jailer of the Firebringer Tribe (human): Crusher stumbled, drunk, into Borderpoint three years ago. Iron Spine threw him in a cell to sleep it off. The next morning, he offered Crusher a job as the jail keeper. Hes kept the job ever since, though some whisper he still has a problem with alcohol. Crusher's sons were kidnapped by Cartel slavers a little over a decade ago for the black market slave trade. Crusher hopes to find them and bring them home someday.
• Kendra Deverin (human): Borderpoint's mayor, Kendra is also the head of the Deverin family and a member of the Borderpoint Mercantile League. Kendra is the third Deverin to be mayor and is well regarded by the townsfolk as a calm, fair and honest leader. Rumor has it she was being courted by Casp Avertin, the former sheriff, before his death. She's shown no signs of romantic interest in anyone else since, much to the dismay of her relatives who worry their house will fail without an heir.
• Savah Bevaniky (human): Savah used to make her living as a caravan guard but she found she loved the weapons more than the work. She earned her coin, retired and opened an armory. She makes some of the weapons she sells but also buys and sells weapons from vendors and adventurers.
