December 27, 2021 -

Hi,

I can't keep track of all the witches, mages etc and their names in the series. Does someone know a list of all characters (portrait from the series) and their names? (not the actors) Even though I read the books and played the games (10 years ago) I get confused all the time....

Did not find a complete list with Google

Thanks in advance
