[image description: digital illustrations of a family of high elf wizards on a grey background. they're all drawn from the shoulders up, in 3/4 profile facing toward the right. their names and the school of magic they specialize in are written in white cursive text beneath each portrait. there are eight of them in total, two parents and six children (drawn in birth order). somewhere on their person, they're each wearing a colorful crystal that corresponds to their preferred school of magic.
first is Sigmund (he/him), the patriarch of the family, an abjurer. he has pale skin, brown eyes, and short, neatly coiffed black hair. he's wearing a grey shirt under a white cloak with a high collar, fastened with two small dark blue crystals. his expression is neutral.
next is Erzebet (she/her), the matriarch, a conjurer. she has light skin, green eyes, and honey-colored hair pulled into a neat bun with a braid crown. she's wearing a fancy dress with a white bodice and dark grey puffy sleeves, and a pair of dangly bright green crystal earrings. she looks unimpressed.
next is Regorond (he/him), the oldest child, an enchanter. he has curly, honey-colored hair pulled into a low ponytail, green eyes, and a mustache. he's wearing a maroon vest over a white shirt and a white cravat fastened with a pink crystal. he has a charming, toothy smile.
next is Hestella (she/her), a necromancer. she has brown eyes and black hair worn in a severe bob that's shorter in the back and longer in the front. she wears a white lab coat, and a yellow crystal on a necklace. she has one eyebrow raised.
first on the second row is Fiodoril (they/he), a diviner. they have shoulder-length black hair, green eyes, and round glasses. they're wearing a white button-down beneath a blue robe. beneath the collar of his shirt, where a necktie should go, he is instead wearing a light blue crystal on a necklace. they're smiling sweetly.
next is Capranicus (he/him), a transmuter. he has brown eyes and short, curly, honey-colored hair that's shaved on one side. he wears a white jacket with a flared collar, a teal shirt, a teal choker, and a tiny orange crystal stud earring. he looks slightly amused.
next is Melisande (she/her), an illusionist. she has long black hair, green eyes, and dark purple lipstick. she's wearing a white sleeveless top underneath a dark purple cape fastened with a bright purple crystal. she looks annoyed.
last is Sendri (he/him), the youngest child, an evoker. he has black hair pulled into a messy bun, green eyes, and thick stubble. he's wearing a simple white shirt with a lace-up neckline and a red crystal on a necklace. he has a bored expression. end id]
room full of wizards.
I have been thinking about these npcs for like five years. none of them matter at all. the only important one is sendri and my players murdered him in session three. there's gonna be a big family reunion soon so we'll see how well they can hide the fact that someone else's soul is walking around in sendri's body
