These are just some interpretations and I am sure I missed a few people. Also, I don't have access to the PrC.doc (firewall). Regarding the SKs I would probably say each one is in the level range of 35-55.
Here comes the "were they epic level or weren't they" debate again ;)
lol, I wasn't around for the first one :P
The only reason I see them as being epic was simply as a DM tool. The DS setting is somewhat lacking in epic characters and I think it might not be a bad idea to have the heroes/villains of the PP series reflect the move to 3.5 and the addition of epic campaigning.
If you would like remove the levels. I was more interested in opinions on what classes they were.
Caelum and Rkard are sun clerics.
Sadira was a tainted preserver and has the sun wizard PrC or template.
Nok: I've been working on Nok with Seker, and we've created a build that allows him to do all he could do in PP1 and PP2, including besting a young Agis (in CSoT Agis is described as a 16th level psionicist, so when he met Nok he would have been even lower in levels). He also has a few psionic items.
Wizard 10/Leech 4/Wilder 11
Dhojakt: I already created him a few years ago... Some people have been developping Pristine Tower mutation rules that would account for his abilities, but failing that I gave him an ability I called Tower-shaped that does the same. Consider that I forgot to give him the spells he used against Sadira in the novel...
« He seemed to be part human and part cilops. From the knees down, he resembled a giant centipede, with a flat body divided into twelve segments. Each section was supported by a pair of slender legs ending in hooked claws. From the knees up, he was remotely human, with his torso swaddled in a silk sarami and a black skullcap covering his shaved head. He had tiny ears located at the base of his jaw, bulbous eyes resembling those of a cilops, and a muzzle with cavernous nostrils that flared every time he drew a breath. »
― The Amber Enchantress, Troy Denning

Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude DC 13, initial and secondary damage 1d4 Dex.
Prince of Nibenay: His privileged position as the son of the Shadow King gives him a +8 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy checks in contests of Secular Authority.
Tower-shaped (Su): Magicaly prepared in advance by his father, Dhojakt was heavily transformed by the influence of the Pristine Tower. His half-human, half-cilops state is extraordinarily strong, giving him a +10 inherent bonus to Strength and the use of the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. His hard skin and exoskeleton confer damage reduction 5/magic and an immunity to spell-like effects from items, spells and spell-like abilities of 3rd level or lower. But the protection does not extend beneath the skin, making him still susceptible to gaseous spell effects.
Skills: As part Cilops, Dhojakt has a +8 racial bonus on Climb and Spot checks (already figured into the statistics given above) and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. When tracking by scent, Dhojakt receives a +12 racial bonus on Survival checks.

Background/Description: The son of the Shadow King, Dhojakt is the custodian of his father’s interests within Nibenay’s realm of influence. He exists solely to be entrusted with the tasks Nibenay would not trust his bare-breasted templars with; his chief concern is the protection of the child Siemhouk, his father’s greatest resource. Representing his father in the political realm during periods of fugue in the Naggaramakam, Dhojakt is a dangerous enemy to make.
Miter, Arcanamarch’s: This religious headress is worn exclusively by royal defilers delegated with civic duties appoaching those of a templar. A miter varies greatly in form and size among the cities, but each population has learned to recognize on sight the lawful power of a miter’s wearer. The headress is nearly always a tall and showy contraption; one noticeable exception to this rule is in Nibenay where it takes the form of a black skullcap.
This religious cap functions only for defilers in the service of a sorcerer-monarch. The wizard can use arcane mark at will by simply touching the item he wishes to mark and concentrating for a full round. As a badge of office for the position of royal defiler, the miter confers a +3 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy checks made in contests of Secular Authority. Twice per day, the wizard can activate the main function of the miter by speaking aloud the name of the sorcerer-monarch he has pledged fealthy to, therefore gaining the effects of a wisdom of the sorcerer-king spell.
Moderate evocation; CL 12th; Craft Universal Item, arcane mark, wisdom of the sorcerer-king; Price 40,500 Cp.
Tithian was a high-ranking templar, and used the king's magic when he was drunk one night to kill his brother.
Caelum and Rkard are sun clerics.
Sadira was a tainted preserver and has the sun wizard PrC or template.
Caelum and Rkard: They were part of a dwarven culture who worhiped the sun, but I thought in a 2e workup they actually pulled their power from the plane of fire?
In regards to Sadira I meant Sun wizard not shadow
Nok: I've been working on Nok with Seker, and we've created a build that allows him to do all he could do in PP1 and PP2, including besting a young Agis (in CSoT Agis is described as a 16th level psionicist, so when he met Nok he would have been even lower in levels).

Nice work on both of these.
