AREA INFORMATION.
An 8-foot-wide, 20-foot-deep fissure splits a tunnel leading north. The goblins won't cross the fissure and haven't explored the tunnel. Where the tunnel leads is up to you. It might break the surface at some point, or it might lead to a monster's lair or the Ardeep Forest. If you don't want the characters wandering too far afield, inform the players that the tunnel collapsed after a few hundred feet, forcing the characters to turn back.

  Morak UrGray is the most important NPC here, taking over for the deceased Lady Nandar and offering Quests ([Moraks Quest] that bridge players from this starting adventure to the rest of Storm King's Thunder campaign.

Otherwise no other character really serves as a Dramatis Personae / Major NPCs for the story and so these characters weren't given their own pages (you can change this if you wish them to be reoccurring characters in your adventure).
