The noblesmen
The members of the nobility of Albareth are listed here sorted by their authority.
 * Valwyn, the High King: he disappeared twenty years earlier; since then, the steward Dariel governs Albareth in his stead.
 * Dariel, steward of the kingdom: currently the highest authority in Albareth.
 * The warden of the northern march: he was the keeper of the Foretelling Stones in Rhyder; he never appears in the game, therefore it's safe to assume that he was killed when the Foretelling Stones were stolen by the orcs.
 * Heidric, warden of the southern march: after the death of the Northern Marcher, he's the second highest authority in Albareth; he lives in Ganestor, far to the south-east.
 * The duke of Hampton: the lord of a smaller town.
 * The prince of Ganestor: the son of Heidric.
 * Lord Dunbar: a noblesman in Ganestor.

The clergy

 * Irial the Archmage: the most powerful mage in Albareth; he lives as a hermit now.
 * The Prior: he gives the hero his/her first quest.
 * Friar Kaine: a humble friar in Rhyder; he sells holy water, especially effective against some undead.

The peasants

 * Barton: a very resourceful serf who lives in Ganestor.
 * Baebon: a thug from Lankwell.
 * The Black Asp: a former assassin.
