The Ornons

The Ornons are a married couple and a pair of retired adventurers who live in Lakeside in Mohkinstsis. Our heroes don't know much about their tale, but they have heard that the Ornons are decidedly unusual in that they are paladins to gods other than the Blessed Nine. As open worship of deities outside of the Nine is nearly unheard of in urban centres, their ability to do so seemingly without punishment is... unusual, to say the least.

Dakaryn Ornon, a gold dragonborn, is a very old woman. On average, dragonborn live to about 80, and she looks to be at least that old. It is obvious she is nearing the end of her life, as she has difficulty moving around and tends to nap more often than not, but she still has her mind, and is a friendly and welcoming presence. Refarin, her husband, is a high elf. His age is unknown, but if nothing else it seems highly likely he will outlive his wife. What will happen after that is anyone's guess, as Ref is far less friendly than Dak is, seeming to view every interaction he has with people other than her as an imposition on his patience.

They seem to have done well for themselves, with a spacious two-storey home in Lakeside, well furnished. It also seems clear, given their number of guest bedrooms, that they — or, more likely, Dak — enjoy company. What brought them to Mohkinstsis is unknown.
