Little Help? (Patreon)

I'm only a few pages in to this week's reading and just a few questions spring to mind. E.g., can anyone tell me who in the name of Fillmore Crank* any of these people are?!?!

• Kieron Dineer
• Consort to the Veil Lord
• Queen Magister of the Realms Beyond
• Cherlindrea herself
• the Troubadour who’d spoken to him on the esplanade
• the burgher

*Bonus points if you can identify this person: it's pretty obscure and I only learned about him two weeks ago but was understandably enchanted by his name.
