JTRC - Places and People

[Daos]

The following contains information learned about places the party has been to and people they have met, for easy reference in case players forget things later on.

Places of the Radiant Citadel
A massive city built on an ancient fossil floating in the deepest reaches of the Ethereal Plane, a city of refugees and outsiders who have come together to build a new life for themselves.
----Court of Whispers - A mixed outdoor-indoor space with quiet alcoves and open plazas, where information is bought, sold, bartered and given.
----House of Convalescence - A large temple right next to the Auroral Diamond where all healing magic is increased in strength.
----Palace of Exile - A massive palace open to all refugees and travelers.  It has spacious living quarters with adjoining gardens and recovery centers, as well as on-site staff to help people transition to either finding a new home on another world or becoming a permanent resident of the Citadel.
----Passage of Respite - The primary entrance and exit of the city, where the Concord Jewels dock.
----Preserve of the Ancestors - A sprawling, domed wilderness cut into the heart of the Auroral Diamond, a home to fauna and flora in danger of extinction.  This is also where the Citadel's ruling council meets, in an in-ground amphitheater in the center of the preserve.  The various Incarnates also dwell here.
----Trade Discal - A massive market bazaar, and home to the Citadel's trading companies and guilds.  The Trade Disputes Council handles any conflict between them.
--------Elemental Plate - A restaurant/bar that is known for its elemental themed dishes and drinks, like the fireball cocktail, marshmallow cloud pudding, and earthy root dumplings.  It's designed to be the sort of place you can bring the whole family.
--------Hiccup’s Generally Nice Goods - A simple convenience store.  Cheap but low quality goods.
--------Iron Bones Construction - A business that builds homes and other buildings.
--------Minhas Alchemicals - A popular spot for buying and selling potions, elixirs, aromas and poultices.
--------Sangsorn's Sorcerous Sundries - A small magical workshop that can sometimes sell rather unpredictable merchandise.  Caveat emptor.
--------Suwan Earthmolders - A small shop that sells fine pottery. They're pricey but make quality goods.

Places in Siabsungkoh
Siabsungkoh features lush, tropical jungles surrounded by mountains.  The valley is small but buzzes with energy, as both locals and tourists frequent the markets that serve as a hub of community life.
----Dyn Singh Night Market - Traders from Siabsungkoh's scattered communities flock nightly to the Dyn Singh Night Market, an ever-changing, town-sized market.  Food vendors take center stage, selling noodles, seafood, pot stickers, and other delicacies from colorful stalls and carts.  Visitors might sample fine desserts, seek the expert work of artisan families, or be entertained by groups like the folklore-sharing Dancers of Smoke.  Becoming a vendor at the Dyn Singh Night Market involves gaining the favor of the five oldest families of Siabsungkoh, then paying a large fee to 'prove success.'  While this approval process was initially created to prevent corruption, many would-be vendors spend years saving for the fee even after earning the families' favor.  Many older families have grown greedy and try to stifle competition from new vendors.

People of Siabsungkoh
Gammon Xungoon (Siabsungkoh Kobold, He/Him) - The young son of Kusa Xungoon, who helps her in her stall.  Believing that the Tyenmos had stolen some green onions from his mother's stall, he stole some back and ran into the party (literally) as he fled.

Kasem Aroon (Siabsungkoh Human, He/Him) - One of the two Spicy Aroon Brothers, he worked the stall while his brother ran the festival game.  Upon learning that his brother was marrying and leaving (taking the business with him), he concocted a plan to buy out another family business by using small fey creatures to prank the Xungoons and Tyenmos, convincing them to sell.  However, the party discovered his plan and exposed him.  But Lamai took pity on him and adopted him into her family.

Kusa Xungoon (Siabsungkoh Kobold, She/Her) - The matron of Xungoon Family Seafood.  Her family has feuded with the Tyenmos for generations, but she and Lamai put aside their differences, until Kasem restarted their feud with trickery.  However, after the party exposed Kasem's plans, she and Lamai made up again.

Lamai Tyenmo (Siabsungkoh Gnome, She/Her) - The matron of Tyenmo Noodles.  Her family has feuded with the Xungoons for generations, but she and Kusa put aside their differences, until Kasem restarted their feud with trickery.  However, after the party exposed Kasem's plans, she and Kusa made up again.

Madam Kulp (Siabsungkoh Gnome, She/Her) - Owner of Madam Kulp's Silk.  She has a group of tut-krogh caterpillars as pets, but also to collect their silk for her wares.  She ran the Hide and Seek challenge, which is the only challenge the party failed.

Sid Squid (Siabsungkoh Human, He/Him) - Owner of the Trusty Leek.  He ran the Battle Prawns:  The Shrimpening challenge, which the party easily aced.

Vada (Siabsungkoh Elf, She/Her) - Owner of Vada's Otherworldly Goods, a dessert shop.  Some of Kasem's wynlings stole some of her vanilla buns, to her chagrin.

Vi Aroon (Siabsungkoh Human, He/Him) - One of the two Spicy Aroon Brothers, he worked the Aroon Family Pepper challenge for the night games, while his brother ran their usual food stall.  Vi is getting married and leaving Siabsungkoh, taking the business with him.
