This one will kill the rest of the land, leading to their ultimate destruction. Warning them that if nothing is done they will all perish.

Kieran is currently the owner of The Ocean's Song Tavern, one of the oldest and most popular taverns in Toren. However, that's not her only profession--she may be a bartender by day, but she's also the leader of an underground spy network by night. Clever and cunning, she can be both a dangerous foe or a trustworthy friend--it just really depends on how you treat her.
friends
Kieran is no stranger to friends--she meets people everyday and there's no avoiding the casual conversation. However, it's hard for Kieran to consider who are her true friends--growing up to a harsh lifestyle, she's spent most of her life being independent and alone, and as such accepting friendship as it is is a difficult and foreign concept. It doesn't mean that she's not trying, though--Kieran can be genuinely caring and concerned if she chooses to, and once established she will never betray any of her friends.
enemies
Now, enemies, that's another story: if being a bartender garners her friends, then being a spymaster does the opposite. It's either you make her your enemy or she does, although the former is more likely. She would, truth be told, rather not begin a conflict unless needed, and her skill in disguises help with avoiding her enemies from ganging up on the Ocean's Song Tavern's door.
lovers
Kieran has...strangely to say...never loved. Or maybe she just didn't realize it at that time until it disappeared. Long story short, the young bartender's either clueless or really doesn't care, although that doesn't mean it's impossible for romance to blossom.
Caelum is a rather eccentric nobleman who sells a variety of herbal products ranging from medicine to toiletries and even the occasional brew. He loves to travel around the world, and as such is never seen in one place for long because his wanderlust prevents his feet from sticking firmly to the ground.
friends
Despite being eccentric, Caelum still does hold a charm that has garnered him friends throughout the years. It's not very difficult to be his friend--technically he calls anyone who's held a conversation with him for even five minutes a "friend". At least, so long as it hasn't led to some form of conflict, of course, although Caelum generally doesn't want that.
enemies
Truth be told, the only enemies Caelum has are the businessmen he's competing with--and monkeys, which are the only animals he hates. However, he does have berserk buttons that will easily guarantee you his enemy--push 'em to find out. Or maybe not.
lovers
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." - Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen.
Indeed, currently Caelum is being pressured by his parents to look for a wife--he's nearing his 30s and he knows that soon it will be time to settle down...even if just for a little bit. The problem is, Caelum's got a bit of a problem separating romantic relationships from platonic ones--or rather, he'd most likely treat his woman like a friend, and not someone special. He's currently working on remedying that, however.
