Short answer
The official character directory currently names Coen, Brencis, Lacra, Anca, Marat, Xanthe, Ambrus, and Bakir. Public previews identify Coen as the protagonist, Brencis as the vampire lord, and Xanthe, Ambrus, and Bakir as members of the vrakhiri leadership. Anca is identified as a herbalist who teaches Coen witchcraft. Exact NPC availability, relationship values, quest outcomes, and death conditions remain launch-build fields rather than assumed facts.

How this directory becomes a real NPC guide.
- Record the first encounter.Capture location, day/night phase, active quest, and whether the character is available.
- Separate role from relationship.An NPC's public biography does not prove their later quest, romance, reputation, or survival state.
- Log every consequence from a named save.Record the choice, time cost, immediate reaction, later state, and an alternate route before publishing it as fact.
