Dream Eaters: a devastating group that steals the souls of the people they target, or so people say. Avra isn't too sure about that, but she isn't one to take rumours without a grain of salt. As the only blacksmith and swordswoman around for miles, she has enough on her plate anyway without worrying about a mythical group. The Whistlers: made to combat the Eaters, they're known as the saviours of the common folk and the bane of the government since they're also technically criminal by association. Mel didn't want to join them, but she owes the leader a debt that she needs to repay before she can go home. Also, she's worried about the elf who keeps trying to eat living armour.
