The Elves

 <UL>
<li>[Sage Tapantasa] --aka "The Ambassador"   He is the Ambassador from [Tir Taingire] to the UCAS.  Their base of operations is on [Nantucket], though they also have an [Embassy] in [Boston] somewhere.  He was one of the many who approached the party about [The Sword], and had it on Nantucket for a while (along with the entire party, including [Alpha Prime].  He has a [ritual link] with the blood of all but one of the party members: A'leia, Dana, Tom, Kianna, Jonathan, Arlix ...<b>Status: the party is Oathbound to the Tir, Patron?</b>
The party swore in his presence and at his request to defend the Heart and the Nation of Tir Taingire
<li>[Talshara] -- The [Tir-na-nOg] "ambassador" to the party. She is a member of the Tir-na-nOg court,  and offered to help us if we'd dump Tir Tangiere.  Then, when Alpha Prime called the Tangerines, she tried to boil us alive using her [ritual link], which has the blood of Tom, Aleia, Tristan, Dargo, Jonathan, ... <b>Status: Quite pissed at the party, status unknown.</b>
</ul>

The Bad Guys

 <ul>
<li>[Mank] - the leader of a Boston Orkish rebellion whom some party members remember from a dream about Camrish.  Believed to have perished theatrically in an epic battle under Boston, such that he might reappear again when the timing is cinematically appropriate. <b>Status: Injured, angry and temporarily vanquished </b>
<li>[Wormhead the Horror] appeared from the rift created by [The Sword], which he wielded and then used to plug the aforementioned rift.  Took off to tour the world for a few months, then reappeared just in time to close the rift that [Mank] (see above) had created at the Prudential (the actual rock, the foundation of Boston) and be brutally slaughtered by the party, assisted by several [Wraith]s.  <b>Status: Deceased or banished or whatever horrors do by [Dana] Vosberg of the [Oracle Corporation], Barton the Raider, [Jonathan] the Swordsman of the [Oracle Corporation], [Tom] of the [Oracle Corporation], and [Dargo] of the Oracle Corporation.  </b>
</ul>

Frank and his Folk

 <ul>
 <li> We met him first as Julia Statton, before the Oracle building sank into the swamp.  We talked to them again shortly after The Meleia Debacle [as seen in some of [The Journals of Aliea Anora OShay].  Meleia ran out of the room, totally confused, and ended the negotiations.  <b>Status: Likely rather annoyed at us </b>
</ul>

Dragons and Other Powerful Folk

<ul>
<li>[Lofwyr] used to be rather upset at us for blowing up his gnomish research lab, but after the [Wormskull]/[Park Street] incident he seems to have forgiven us.  He sent the party a nice teak box lined with Orichalcum, and an Orichalcum mesh to wrap around [The Sword].
<li>Ehran the Scribe: might also be Christopher Marlowe
<li> Cambeiul: 
</ul>

Please remember that the above is entirely in-character knowledge and assumptions.  And the claim that those are blood charms is total nonsense, I don't know where that came from, blood charms are something else.  Those are ritual links
