;GRISWALD THE BLACKSMITH | |||
Griswald the blacksmith is undoubtedly the most important person in the village. His workshop is on the right side of the square. In fact, here you can buy and sell weapons and armors (rings and amulets included), trying to improve your equipment. The items on sale change from time to time, so it's always good to take a look at them. Most of the time you will find what you need already in the labyrinth, generally is not convenient for you to buy Griswald's items, due to his quite high prices. However, sometimes it can happen to find particularly useful equipment on sale. Here you can also have your weapons and armor repaired, restoring their maximum duration value. Griswald will also give you useful information about many side quests, and talking to him will also start some of the secondary missions in the game. You should therefore visit his workshop every time you go to the town. Every time you talk to him, in addition to "talk", you have the following options: | Griswald the blacksmith is undoubtedly the most important person in the village.

;CAIN THE ELDER | |||
Another very important person of Tristram is Cain the elder, who stands in front of the well in the middle of the square. He is the person who gives you the most information regarding the side missions and the story of the game. You'll also need to talk to him to unlock the penultimate mission. What makes Cain particularly useful however is his ability to identify magical items, for the modest sum of 100 golds. In fact, the magical power of an item you find in the dungeon does not manifest itself until it is identified and the only ways to do this are to use a Scroll of Identify (if you have it) or to ask Cain. | Another very important person of Tristram is Cain the elder, who stands in front of the well in the middle of the square.

;PEPIN THE HEALER | |||
Pepin's house is located across the square from Griswald's. From him you can buy potions and healing scrolls, of which it is always better to have a good supply. But you can only buy from him, not sell. Pepin can also give you useful information and by speaking to him early in the game, he will start the "Poisoned Water Supply" side mission. Also, every time you talk to Pepin, he will fully restore your life energy for free. | Pepin's house is located across the square from Griswald's.

;ANDRIA THE WITCH | |||
The shack of Andria is located southeast of the town, across the stream and is the main reference point for sorcerers. Whenever you talk her, you'll be presented with a wide variety of options: | The shack of Andria is located southeast of the town, across the stream and is the main reference point for sorcerers.

Even if you play as a warrior or a rogue, you should visit Andria every time you go to town, as you can find some very useful items here, such as the Scrolls of Town Portal, which are always available and, with a little luck, the Scrolls of Identify. You also need to talk to Andria after getting the Fungal Tome to start a side quest. | Even if you play as a warrior or a rogue, you should visit Andria every time you go to town, as you can find some very useful items here, such as the Scrolls of Town Portal, which are always available and, with a little luck, the Scrolls of Identify.

;WIRTH THE PEG-LEGGED BOY | |||
Wirth is in a secluded spot northwest of the city. You have to cross a creek and some rocks to reach him. Wirth will never give you big info and he doesn't start side quests. His only utility lies in the fact that he can secretly sell you an item of great value. However, he charges 50 golds just to take a look at it and he doesn't buy anything from you. However, you can visit him once in a while, hoping for a stroke of luck and to find an item that is right for you (and within your economic possibilities). | Wirth is in a secluded spot northwest of the city.

;ODGEN THE TAVERN OWNER | |||
Odgen is the owner of the Tavern of the Rising Sun, which is located north of Griswald's workshop. He doesn't sell anything and, strangely, you can't rest in his tavern. Odgen is a kind person who often gives you a lot of information and by talking to him you will start some of the side missions of the game. He's not among the most helpful people in town, but it's worth to stopping talking to him every once in a while. | Odgen is the owner of the Tavern of the Rising Sun, which is located north of Griswald's workshop.

;JILLIAN THE BARMAID | |||
Jillian's house is across from Odgen's tavern. You cannot buy anything from her, only talk. Jillian will give you some useful information about a couple of side missions (but she won't start any of them) or to better understand the whole story, but that's it. | Jillian's house is across from Odgen's tavern.

;FARNHAM THE DRUNK | |||
It is located south of the square. This drunkard just mutters gibberish or gives you useless information. You can ignore him for the duration of the game. | It is located south of the square.
