Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor Companions List

You create up to four heroes yourself and recruit two companions along the way for a final party of six, and the pool of recruitable NPCs documented by community sources is the group known as the Veiled Ones: Athan, Bronwyn, Eadred, Emmeric, Faeril, Jarial, Kellan and Tudo. That party-of-six rule comes straight from the official Steam store page for the SNEG re-release, while the named candidate list comes from community documentation of the game rather than from the developer.

The recruitable NPC candidates

Community sources covering the game group the recruitable characters under the name "the Veiled Ones" and list eight of them:

Because the game only has two recruit slots beyond your four created heroes, not every character above will travel with a given party at the same time. The community material available does not specify which of the eight joins under which conditions, so we cannot honestly list per-character recruitment requirements yet.

What is confirmed versus unverified

• Confirmed by the official Steam page: you create up to four heroes and recruit two more along the way, for a party of six.
• Reported by community sources: the eight names above, presented as the game's recruitable NPCs (the Veiled Ones).
• Not confirmed anywhere in the material available: each companion's class, race, join location, join timing, and whether any recruit choice is mutually exclusive with another.

The official page also confirms the re-release context this list applies to: the game returned to Steam on November 6, 2026 for $17.99, published by SNEG, with bug fixes, widescreen and 4K support, full controller support and an optional "Legacy" mode. Nothing in the developer's announcements suggests the recruitment system was changed from the 2001 original, but the page does not itemize companion details either.

Next steps

• If you are still building your four created heroes, the character creation options and the available classes determine what roles your two recruits need to fill.
• Once you know which companions you want, planning a best party composition around the six-character limit helps you decide between a balanced roster and a specialized one.
