In Vagneria, the characters you encounter throughout your journey become part of the village community — each one with their own set of traits and their own relationship to what you are trying to accomplish. Some function as merchants or quest sources. Others are more actively involved: joining you in combat, requiring protection while being escorted to a destination, or changing the dynamic of the stages they appear in. Finding them across the different parts of the game is part of what gives the world its density.
