Characters in Brigands & Breadknives

A rattkin bookseller from the seaside town of Murk who relocates to Thune hoping a new bookshop beside an old friend's coffee shop will cure her restlessness, until a wild night strands her with strangers.

Astryx One-Ear

A legendary elf blademistress and monster-slayer over a thousand years old, hired to escort a captured goblin, who becomes Fern's reluctant traveling companion.

Zyll

A chaos-goblin held for bounty on the journey to Amberlin, with a habit of turning any nearby silverware into an improvised weapon.

Nigel (Legends & Lattes)

Astryx's speaking great-sword, a pompously self-important weapon who provides much of the book's comic banter.

Breadlee (Legends & Lattes)

A once-mighty great blade remolded into a humble breadknife, Zyll's talking companion and comic foil to Nigel.
