Of special 'Wildspace Pantheon' only Ptah and the Celestial Bureaucracy are considered near universal.
• Being the eldest son, Algernon not only inherited his father's portfolio with the Von Cortland Rangers Mercenary Company (VCRMC - Cortland for short) he also inherited his father's suit of adamantine plate that was fitted for a Giff.
• Is being courted by his brother's patron, Giles Blackwood, to join along with a unit of the Cortland regulars on a new expedition to a nearby jungle planet that may house one of the 'Towers of the Elephant' which are said to be rich with treasures from across the multiverse.

• Harassing their targets from behind the safety spears and spells are the slender, toxic darts of the Kobold Needlers. They utilize their semi-competent skill at tinkering items to create dart launchers that can fired liked a gun, using small crystalline vials of compressed air instead of standard red powder.
•  While almost all of the darts are toxic, Needlers will often add a 'quick dose' enough poison is present that it creates a Disadvantage for the target trying to resist the effects of the toxins.
• Toxins are derived from various sources of dungeoneering or subterranean creatures. Typically giant spiders, cave urchins, spider crabs, and various dungeon oozes that the Needlers harvest samples from.

Notes 

• Mylon is a Gnome Illusionist known to hang around Goodneighbor's Trading Post outside of Hommlet Village when he is not adventuring. He's traveled with individuals ranging from Caewen Bradshaw to Tyris Flare to Sister Aleena, the latter known as 'Aleena the Revived' after that brush of death in confronting Bargle the Scourge. Mylon is one of several demi-humans who seem stuck with 'strong willed' human females. It comes with the territory or being small and full of wisdom.
• In addition to listed items, Mylon does have the ability with enough gold and material components to create a few scrolls and have them on hand. Naturally, as an illusionist, his main talents are tricking and confusing enemies with spells such as Pyrotechnics and Color Spray. He also has the talent for turning invisible. His most potent spell is summoning a cabin with stained glass windows that comfortably fit a party.
• Favorite magical item? His Rod of Wonder which he got while trading items with a black dragon named Nightscale in exchange for some magical gem or other object of power that the dragon wanted more than the rod.

She's also acquired a piece or two for museums.
• Is currently interested in the shrine of Tamoachan located in a recently cleared region of the Olman Jungle. Because of the hazardous nature, she has hired a few adventurers from her contact, Durnan of the Yawning Portal to accompany her.
• Carries a Lantanese 'Six Shooter' along with her favorite dagger, shortsword, and whip. Magic item of choice? He goggles of night that hangs from her belt on her face when she is in the darkest depths and needs some kind of light to operate.
