redania okay, trying to pull together a group of weirdos who set out to fix the cataclysm that's afflicting their society. still working out the details but now paging the rest of the group!
a few possible concepts: the overworked healer who might not be sure leaving was the right choice, the steampunk cyborg powered by magic (viktor, my beloved), a relative youngun who never knew the land before it was corrupted, someone who is a reformed worshipper of the magic corruption, or please hit us with some off-the-wall ideas.
and i think i've got your professor of ancient arcane magic and history here who's probably in over his head but when has he ever NOT been in over his head?
[eta again:] i think i'll be going with cillian murphy! but still open to suggestions
