Continuing & New PCs

For new PCs brought in after the game switches to Mondays, the easiest thing would be for new PCs to have some connection to one of the two continuing PCs.  Both are Altanian (reddish skinned barbarian human) Fighters:

1. Varek of the Tigerclaw clan, a wandering former pirate and mercenary who recently served as the head of Parre of Bisgen's guardsmen, and has been leading raids against both Zehir snake cultists and the Arang-Tok orcs, and  

2. Rameses of the Mountain Lion Clan, from a long line of Altanian noble chiefs, descended from Ral Hoth-Nor who led the Altanian auxiliary forces at the Battle of Gedden when the Empire of Nerath was destroyed by the gnoll horde of White Ruin.  Rameses has been accompanying Varek, he recently learned of the 'Neo-Nerathi' who blame his clan for the fall of the empire.

A new PC could be related to one of them, been a pirate or mercenary alongside Varek, or been one of Parre's soldiers.

Edit - new PCs

1. Nathir the Red (Jason) - archer/guide from Renth, a red-haired human of mostly Tharbrian ancestry.
2. Arvias (Jon) - far-travelled Avalonian human Sorcerer, wild mage.
3. Garvas (sp?) (Damian) - Gishmesh Hexblade, equally far-travelled.
