During years we have played Emerald and Jade, only a select few NPCs have risen to the status of Comrades in Arms. Many of these people can be counted on by the PCs in times of trouble. May the Fortunes protect them!

"Friendship is truly tested
when it is time to share the burden."
Tao of Shinsei

Of course, there are others who have become rivals to the players and have become so important to the campaign that they have been listed here as well. May the Fortunes curse them!
