NPC lookup / relationship index

The Blood of Dawnwalker NPCs

A player-facing directory for named characters: who they are, where they appear, which quests connect to them, and whether a survival or consequence claim has actually been tested.

Research state / launch-week updateOfficial NPC names / retail lookup pending

Short answer

This directory separates officially named characters from the fields players need at launch. The public material confirms roles and a few choice examples, but it does not yet provide a complete NPC location, schedule, death, or relationship database. Those claims stay pending until they are reproduced in the retail build.

NPC lookup at a glance.

Use the filters to move from the protagonist and Vrakhiri court to humans, family, and the wider named cast. The useful difference from a character encyclopedia is the record that comes next: first location, phase, quest link, relationship change, survival state, and fallback.

IdentityName + roleUse the official spelling and keep aliases separate from confirmed names.
LocationPlace + phaseRecord the first reproducible encounter, not a guessed map pin.
Quest linkStart / branch / resultConnect the NPC to a quest record and its time cost.
RelationshipAction / inactionSeparate dialogue changes from persistent faction or family outcomes.
SurvivalAlive / lost / unknownNever label an NPC missable from a single un-replayed outcome.
EvidenceOfficial / demo / testedEvery high-impact claim needs a source and a named version or save.

NPC FAQ

Where can I find NPCs in The Blood of Dawnwalker?

The public material names the cast and regions, but a complete retail location and phase schedule is still pending. This directory is designed to add those fields from reproducible encounters.

Can NPCs die in The Blood of Dawnwalker?

Official previews establish that choices and inaction can affect people in Vale Sangora. Specific death, survival, and recovery conditions need a retail-build test before they are stated as fact.

Are companions confirmed?

Named allies and family are visible in official material, but companion rules, permanent recruitment, and combat behavior should remain separate fields until verified in game.

How is this different from the characters page?

The characters page explains the cast and factions. This directory is an operational lookup for encounters, quests, phases, survival states, consequences, and fallback routes.
