Beyond its tabletop RPG-inspired style, the most immediately striking thing about The DioField Chronicle is character names. The initial trio of mercenaries under your command are royal bodyguard Andrias Rhondarson, cavalier Fredret Lester, and the unimprovably named shield-wielder Izelair Wigan. Not long after you're joined by expert bowman Iscarion Colchester, followed by noblewoman and healer Waltaquin Redditch. (We're very much looking forward to adding Beauregard Knutsford and Euphegenia Dewsbury to our ranks later on.)
