Le Bayou a Faim

Baron Glegali      Baron Glegali is one of the more active turbulent loa in the area and the constant thorn in the side of the houngan   Pépin Rey . Once a bokor of considerable power, he was accidentally slain by Pépin three decades ago when the two came to blows over a woman that they were both in love with. He was taken into the ranks of the turbulent loa for his immense service to them, and his spirit was reformed with his memory intact.     Falling for  Régine Villeneuve at first sight,  Baron Glegali tried to do everything he could to court the lovely creole woman. He presented her with lavish gifts, flowers, anything he could think of. It was to no avail, however, as  Régine  had fallen deeply in love with  Pépin. Baron Glegali confronted Pépin at his run-down little shanty, telling him that he wasn't good enough for  Régine and that  Pépin  should intentionally ruin their relationship so that he could step in.

Rumors speak of its hiding place within the city's ancient heart. Its secrets could tip the scales against the darkness."      Akua's expression turned contemplative.

Mairabella the Mermaid        Mairabella is the leader of a pod of merfolk just off of the coast of  Ville des Marais. She is young, but well respected due to her leadership abilities, bubbly personality and beautiful appearance. She also possesses a keen tactical mind, and has managed to defend against attacks by merrow, sahuagin and even scrags (sea trolls). While she may be quite a warrior, she prefers diplomacy to combat, and her natural charisma assists her in this greatly.      Mairabella will often retrieve items from shipwrecks and trade them for supplies that can't be created underwater. Her greatest find so far is a large (6") crystal ball, and she uses this magic item to keep an eye on her territory. She keeps this item a secret, and enjoys the adulations from the rest of the merfolk for her "uncanny ability" to know where trouble can be found. She's run afoul of the infamous pirate  Captain Gnash several times, and has outsmarted him every time.     S
