The folks who live in Avorah are just regular humans, just like you or me. They are born, they grow up, they work, they play, they sing, they pray. They have hopes and dreams, aspirations and secret fears. They form kingdoms, and guilds, and churches. The fight, they love, they celebrate, they grieve.

Created in the Age of Beginning by the Father, human beings in Avorah are primarily governed by His wishes. Though He has expectations and desires for His children, people are given leave to do whatever they wish; and they are rewarded or punished based upon the sum of their lives.

Though there are human settlements scattered to each corner of the world, the stories so far reside in two principle locations:
 * Phila - central continent and birthplace of the Father's House
 * The Edran-sa - a series of islands set off the eastern coast of Phila.

Characters from the Red Fever Story
Although the Red Fever stories are heavily in the planning stages, several characters have already made themselves known as being major players.
 * Trevahn Fremont - A former sentry for the Father's Army who knows more than he should.
 * Sister Acacia Harker - A Sister of Vilaya trained at the Helm into one of Phila's finest warriors.
 * Brenyn del Shadshier - A teenage thief with no ties to anyone, or anything, and he likes it that way.
 * First Captain Pelleas Arklay - A knight from a dead city, seeking purpose and vengeance.
 * Specialist Loki Heiler - A young, crippled soldier with a gift for turning his body heat into magical fire.
 * Ae-gehn - An Edranni monk who travels Phila in search of people who need his help.

Aside from these Six Pillars, there are other major players that work best on the sidelines. They make themselves known when necessarily, but rarely do they cross paths with the Pillars.
 * Sythius Sil'nathin - A primal warrior with a protective streak that runs even deeper than instincts.
 * Kin - A young plague victim with an unnatural longevity that no healer can explain.
 * Sylvanne Sil'nathin - Sythius's sister, devoted to an ancient religion even older than the Father's House.
 * Kayli D'thraia - Sylvanne's maidservent, dedicated heart and soul to serving her mistress's wishes.
 * Big Olrec - A veteran soldier and field medic who forms a close bond with Sythius.
 * Sithe Breckenridge - An orphanage matron living in Lorat, with a dark past and even darker secrets.
 * Godric and Fuller - Twin boys who live in Sithe's orphanage; the only two of her children who really know her.
 * Aranh Breckenridge - Sithe's sire; a retired soldier with unshakable morals. Mostly.
 * Altaira Windscribe - An expert in "gathering information," and silencing it if need be.
 * Asar - When nature itself requires a champion, they call on balance. His balance.
 * Neothain - He who was born with the signs; he who will not die.
 * Baraccus Callamore - A man who knows, and does, more than it seems that he should.
 * Jaquet Bristow - Known as the Iron Maiden; she was probably born with a sword in her hand.
 * Jutas - Champion of all that should never be championed.

A vast number of secondary characters also exist within the mythology of these stories.
 * Annabelle d'Courte - The physician for Lord's Landing, follower of Saint Ulria, and Loki's adoptive mother.
 * Cain Langston - The High-Sheriff of Lord's Landing, retired guard from Mooncrest.

 * Sister Endaria Cartwright - A high-ranking Sister of Aca, and political figurehead in Longreth.

Characters from Tabletop Campaigns
Avorah was conceived originally as a campaign setting for tabletop gaming, and as such there are a number of characters who—while not necessarily a part of the planned written stories—have made an impact on the world.
 * X - A retired soldier for the Father's Army.
 * Edra - A young thief working for Lorat's  thieves' guild.
 * Kat - A woman from the wilds, skilled in manipulating and controlling the elements.
