<br/>
MAIN<br/>
▬▬▬▬​</div></b><br/>
<br/>
<b>Baron Carl Diethelm Van Schwartzhand the Second</b><br/>
”As spooky as he is indiscernible, the Baron rules all of Bruutheim under his iron fist. Towering above others – if not in height then in sheer dominant presence – this elderly man is hard to figure out and even harder to predict. He has found particular interest in Tamaska, for reasons as of yet unknown. But for whatever reason, it's quite clear this top-hatted ”gentleman” shouldn't be trifled with.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Emberspike</b><br/>
”First and leading man of the gruesome twosome in the Barons employ, this sly imp has taken the guise as a long-nosed goblin with a curious sense for fashion. Formally bound to the Baron, Emberspike is considered an effective muscle and remains surprisingly privy to the many secrets his warlock master holds. Having a fondness for cigars, booze and women, Tamaska and her demeanour is right up his alley.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Bahiyya</b><br/>
”As a succubus disguised as a blood elf, Bahiyya isn't lacking in the temptation department. With her fierce red hair and her sultry physique, this despicable demoness revels in the fact that she has found a new girl-toy in Tamaska. While a close confidante to the Baron, she's ultimately subservient to Emberspike, though it can be hard to see.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>The Shepard</b><br/>
”Castle custodian, advisor and wild-card – The Shepard as he's simply known is second only to Emberspike and Bahiyya in terms of proximity to the Baron. Often, he's given the charge of overseeing political affairs in the Bruutheim Kingdom. The Shepard has as well as the baron found a curious interest in Tamaska.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Kumar the Dragonkin</b><br/>
”The unwillingly appointed fairy-dragon ally of Tamaska, Kumar is a talking and flying encyclopedia of Bruutheim knowledge – that is, if an encyclopedia came with a snarky tongue and a cynical world view. Hard to love and impossible to shut up, Kumar has only so far proven to be a test – but what passive defiance does he harbour for the Baron?”<br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>SUPPORTING<br/>
▬▬▬▬</b>​</div><br/>
<b>The Admiral</b><br/>
”One of the finest nautical minds of contemporary Azeroth, what the Admiral lacks in emotional communication he makes up in impeccable and dependable professionalism. A man not easily phased by mortal concerns, the Admiral has been given the ultimate honour of commandeering the Catharsis under the watchful eye of the Baron.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>First Mate Dalton</b><br/>
”You could accuse this man of holding expertise in the rarely recognized art-form of arse-kissing, First Mate Dalton is a plump, short excuse of a man serving as the Admirals right hand (much to said Admirals chagrin) – the only redeeming factor to this man might be his sense of administration, which is cited as a reason – the only reason – he still serves under the Baron. Despises Tamaska mostly because he cannot own her.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Seaman James Echgrey O'Barney</b><br/>
”One of many colourful Bruuts, Jimbob O'Barney could – and often is – mistaken for a particularly lively Forsaken due to his bony physique. Serving on the Barons mighty airship, one'd easily write him off as but another servant in the Barons charge – but don't be fooled: This elderly scarecrow is much more resourceful than his dilapidated exterior lets on!”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Sterre, ”Star of the North”</b><br/>
”A warm soul enclosed in a narcissist shell, the blood elf concubine Sterre has a pathological transfixtion towards looking her best in every scenario. However, her narcissism thankfully extends to those around her, demanding and sometimes imposing that they remain at their peak at all times, be that visually or mentally – she will go to great lengths to ensure the mutual proliferation of all around her.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Ife, ”The Exotic”</b><br/>
”Ife is on the surface a lovable and warm-blooded simpleton – but make no mistake; under the almost ditzy outwards behaviour lies a wise womans perceptive glance. She instantly took an immediate liking to Tamaska, a sympathy tinged with subtle hints of pity for her situation.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>Aonghus the Saint, St. Aonghus of Eisenkliff</b><br/>
”Curator of the Carnival, Aonghus is a glorified master of the baths. Charged with preparing the concubines and cicesbos for their clients, this kal'dorei has a sharp eye for presentation, manipulation and social etiquette. He puts extra attention onto Tamaska due to her unique role in relation to the Baron and his plans.”<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>♣ ▬ Theatres ▬ ♣</b>​</div><br/>
<b>Castle Eisenkliff</b><br/>
”The Barons fortress, home and political centre – Castle Eisenkliff exemplifies the riches of Bruutheim, towering towards the skies without apology. Home to hundreds of servants and thousands of soldiers, overlooking a massive amounts of factories, workshops and laboratories, this bastion underlines the Barons dominance.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>The Catharsis</b><br/>
”The Barons' flying fortress – the sky-jewel of Bruutheim; The Catharsis remains one of the most potent weapons in the Barons arsenal that the public knows about; this airship puts even the flying behemoths of the Alliance and the Hordes to shame, having been under construction for the last fifteen years. The Catharsis is the largest airship in the small armada that the Baron controls, but its stopping power is unmatched by any recent machines on Azeroth.”<br/>
<br/>
<b>The Carnival</b><br/>
”The home of Tamaska and the lair of the fabled courtesans and companions of Castle Eisenkliff, the Carnival is a cage that'd put envy into the hearts of any noble. It acts as a small, almost autonomous society within the walls of the castle, providing a much needed breathing space for these sexual servitors. This wing of the castle has been equipped with everything the risqué socialite needs: a kitchen to serve healthy foods, an auditorium and library for learning and a very extensive bathing hall for preparations before meeting clients.”</div>

▬▬▬​</div><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“A pleasure? Already?[/COLOR]</b>” Sterre said through a small smile that might even be accused of being overweening.<br/><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“And here I thought I had to put some more effort into it – curious, that they chose a troll. But seeing you with my own eyes, I can see the hints of potential here and there-..”[/COLOR]</b><br/><br/>Ife PFHSAWED loudly at the blood elf and added with her booming voice:<br/><br/><b><span style="color: purple">“Get your hread out of arze, Gizpoda! And you, Tamazka – follow me, I vill zhov you directly to our bathz; truztingk me vhen I zay you vill be viziting that place many, -many- timez vhen you live here.”</span></b><br/><br/>The mighty draenei clapped her hands twice, tittered in a positively noisy fashion and turned squarely where she stood. With hips jumping from side to side, she clip-clopped towards the large double-doors at the centre of the wall to their right.<br/>From above, Kumar descended to gently land on her shoulders again, the woosh of his wings causing her bob-cut hair to flutter gently:<br/><br/><b><span style="color: grey">“I see now that we've met our resident battering ram-..”</span></b>he instigated with what had to be a sardonic smirk twisting his lizard-like features.<br/><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“Oh, you have no idea, Kumar-.. and weren't you perching on His Lordships shoulders the other day?”[/COLOR]</b>the blood elf inquired idly, apparently recognizing the nuisance that was Tamaskas companion.<br/><br/><b><span style="color: grey">“Thankfully, not -anymore-. I would greatly prefer these shoulders to -his-..”</span></b>Kumar spat back with unbridled irritation marring his tone.<br/><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“Always a charmer, Kumar..”[/COLOR]</b>Sterre chuckled in a surprisingly smoky voice, squinting her nose  in a cute fashion (which incidentally was almost identical to Tamaska, if she did the same)<br/>Putting her attention on the trolless again, Sterre extended an arm for Tamaska to take, inquiring – as one of the first so far during this head-spinning day:<br/><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“So, Tamaska. The new toy for the lieutenants of His Lordship, and himself no less. You must be something quite special – walk with me; tell me a bit of yourself: Where are you from? How did you end up here of all places?”[/COLOR]</b><br/><br/>Ife waved energetically for them to pick up pace and follow her, causing the nearest courtesans to eye the group of people with curiosity.<br/><br/><br/><b>[COLOR=dark_green]“Oh, and by the way: -Love- that cut, love. The wide eyed innocence coupled with that daring swish is to die for.”[/COLOR]</b>Sterre actually demeaned herself to compliment..<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
