Cynthia's Camp is the kind of refuge that proves a place can be safer without being safe.

Angelique Martinique, known as Angeldust, was a VQU student when she witnessed Albert Rallus murder a fellow student, a moment that turned campus glamour into survival instinct. With blonde hair and high-fey poise, she helped Josette move from that Violince into the Queefdom elite of Velvet Cross.

characterArthur is a surviving M.A.I. experiment, Vorpal founder, and portal-route ally now headed to VQU with Elmyra for Baron-backed support.
characterAerovia Jeevens, known as Beeper, is a Luxidran student and paladin-track defender whose human body has been altered with forged construct components. Her Witchborn power forms protective energy armor, reinforcing her plating and letting her hold the line under pressure. Once close to Andrea Pelosh, Beeper has become more guarded since Andrea’s disappearance, turning grief and uncertainty into discipline. To some, she is a breakthrough in magical integration; to others, a warning about how far institutions will go.
characterFrod Wingkin is a black dragonborn rescued from the Vayne chapel rafters near Root Barrel Farm and returned toward Orval's farm.
characterK’rilith the Bloodscourge is a Duthka’Castro commander, engineered through blood alchemy into a living argument for Castro supremacy. Part Castro and part dragon hybrid, she leads void-theater operations with ruthless discipline, targeting dragonborn subjects and advancing experiments in draconic evolution. Her alliance with Dr. Malevolus Krane makes her work even more dangerous, blending battlefield command, transmutation science, and imperial ambition. Armed with a psionically enhanced silver greatsword, K’rilith does not treat war as conquest alone. To her, every battle is research, every captive is material, and every victory brings the next form of dominance closer.
characterValbrandt Wingkin is a blue dragonborn tied to Vithyrex Maze refugees, lightning-made glasswork, Orval's farm, and a questionable Byrash role among the Emrites.
characterCynthiana of the Wilds, known as Boho, is an elven druid who serves as a bridge between Von Queef University and the untamed territories of the Wilds. Her Witchborn animal mimicry lets her borrow senses, instincts, and behaviors from the natural world, making her a subtle but vigilant guardian of ecological balance.
characterBrunk Charleston, known as Bones, is an undead gravekeeper and necromancer bound to the Queefdom Cemetery near Gravenhurst. Once a mortal scholar tied to Von Queef University and the Phlakin Library, he preserved his soul inside his own decaying body and has guarded the dead for centuries.
characterBarney Rootbarrel, known as Brawny, is a halfling agricultural alchemist and co-founder of Medusa’s Farm near the Glow Pools. Once a beet farmer outside the Queefdom, Barney helped turn abandoned land into a working commune through patience, labor, and quiet strength.
characterBrother Fidelphi Castro is Hugo's betrayal target and a Castro-face identity clue whose New Goblin City death/curse leaves his true role unresolved.
characterOrval Finkus is the performative Colonel of Root Barrel Farm, a suspect protector of Castro-displaced dragonborn workers and a contact in Havyk's demon-debt thread.
characterGreta Wunsch, known as Crone, keeps Von Queef University functioning by doing what most mages fear most: reading the rules and enforcing them. A senior administrator from Le Queef, she oversees compliance, discipline, records, and the fragile bureaucracy holding VQU together after collapse, reopening, and reform.

characterDrow turned an insult into a weapon and exile into a calling. Cast out from her people and hardened by survival, she became an assassin whose phasing lets her vanish through shadow, silence, and fear.
characterDallas Dalton, known as Dally, was raised in a close-knit community where loyalty meant survival and family meant everything. When her mother, K’Zhara Flamehand, was taken by powerful men, Dallas carried the loss like a live coal. Now a fire djinni barbarian with the Pink Pony Girls and Kickassery Inc.
characterProfile details are still being written.
characterK'Zhara Flamehand is Dallas Dalton's fire djinni mother, an embersmith rescued from Gertie's Forge after digging an escape route and piloting Arthur's ship back to Jericha.
characterEmrill, later remembered as Emrys II, was an extradimensional Castro whose arrival during the Drakkuskan War changed Jericha’s history. Presenting themself as a prophet and claimed paragon of Emrys, Emrill guided dragonborn zealots toward resurrection rites, void invocation, and rebellion against the world above them. Their influence helped ignite the conflict tied to Xorrika Mjokmek, the militarized Drakkuskan House, and the death of Phalaxiflore von Queef. Though now presumed dead, Emrill’s doctrine survived as the foundation of the Black Ward, proving some outsiders do not need to remain present to keep corrupting the future.
characterTimaeus Smiteclaw, known as Fallen Star, was a red dragonborn paladin whose name suggests both radiance and ruin. The records leave much of his life unwritten, preserving only his lineage, calling, and death, but even that outline carries weight: a Smiteclaw sworn to sacred purpose, now remembered as something that burned bright before falling. Whether he died in battle, disgrace, sacrifice, or prophecy, Timaeus remains the kind of figure whose absence invites stories to gather around it. In Jericha, a fallen paladin is rarely only a corpse. Sometimes he is a warning, a relic, or a vow still waiting to be answered.
characterNick Kremp, the Firestarter, was an infernal wizard and adventurer of My Alchemical Romance whose lawful heart burned as brightly as his flamespeaking. Raised without privilege, Nick became the group’s public voice, hype man, and emotional warmth, using charm, optimism, and fire magic to lift others even when the world turned dangerous. His relationship with Iwlvflybadofsjhhu Jr. and bond with Princess Beatrix, his beloved polar bear companion, grounded him beyond spectacle. Nick believed in doing good, following the law where he could, and keeping the spark alive for his friends; his death in 2100 MB left My Alchemical Romance without one of its brightest lights.
characterAngus Pringle, known as Flamboy, is the black sheep of Point Pringle’s ruling family: too noble to ignore, too slippery to control, and far too fond of the open water to sit through governance.
characterDiarmaid, called Flynn by Dallas Dalton, is a massive long-haired Highland cow with the calm patience of a pasture and the impact force of a runaway wagon. Raised alongside Dallas and gifted to her as a calf, Flynn has followed her from home to the Pink Pony Girls as companion, guardian, and family.
characterAsh Stonefist was raised in seclusion by the Temple of the Equinox Vale, where discipline, balance, and physical mastery shaped every part of his life. His training made him focused and precise, but left him unfamiliar with much of the wider world. When void-born tentacles emerged from his body, Ash treated the change as part of his spiritual path. His power now tests the teachings that formed him, forcing him to balance serenity with mutation and control with uncertainty. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, Ash brings loyalty, speed, and strange wisdom to the group. His journey centers on mastering the tension between discipline and the void within him.

characterHavyk is a half-orc, half-elf rogue from the Free Coast, raised under Orlac’s brutal doctrine and determined to become something sharper than the Violince that made her. She fled her tribe, survived alone, and found peace with Devaireaux, a gentle noble whose love gave her a life beyond bloodshed before his death tore it apart. Now fighting with Kickassery Inc. and the Pink Pony Girls, Havyk protects queer lives, breaks abusive power, and turns grief into purpose. With psychic blades, magnetic control, Chaos the raven, and a broken pocket watch ticking like a heartbeat, she does not seek permission to be kind or dangerous.

characterIronhoof — Astrid Ironhoof is a centaur alchemist, Head of Alchemical Studies at Von Queef University, and a recurring academic anchor around fieldwork, horticulture, and practical magical research tied to the Little Shoppe. After losing her expected place in the reformed Centrum, her investigation into void-resonant potions and altered Boost-era alchemy made her an active source of clues, reform pressure, and regulated-power conflict.
characterKaya is a quiet storm—disciplined, devout, and scarred by tragedy. Raised in a monastery alongside her beloved friend Kuzon, her life shattered when her adoptive monk family was slaughtered.
characterMaine — M. A. I. N. E. is a Hexelf/forged survivor of the M. A. I. experiments whose Whispering, warlock path, and detective instincts make them both investigator and living evidence of Centrum’s hidden failures.
characterBorn Rahab on the Timber Islands, Musk was a daughter of love and laughter who left home chasing adventure. Instead, she found captivity under Malevolus Krane, who twisted her biology into a weapon, and cruelty under Solar, who mocked her pain. She survived both, emerging furious and unbowed.
characterMarnie Rootbarrel, known as Mycelia, is a halfling spore druid and guardian of the Glow Pools, where broken bodies, strange fungi, and arcane corruption all find their way into the soil.
characterZhurnuuz Wingkin, known as Ooze the Green, is a green dragonborn sorcerer and acolyte of the Wingkin line, where blood, breath, and doctrine twist together into something corrosive. His power manifests through a toxic breath weapon and the patient cruelty of one who understands poison as both element and philosophy. Chaotic Evil by nature, Zhurnuuz does not rush to overwhelm when he can seep into weakness, erode trust, and let fear spread before the strike. Among the Wingkin Acolytes, he is less a blunt instrument than a living toxin: visible only after the damage has already begun.
characterKuovena Bravespeaker, known as Ouija, is a minotaur warlock of Von Queef University and one of the First Five, carrying the dead with them in more ways than one. Raised in the Bravespeaker tradition after the fall of the Wingkin Mountains, they inherited a spiritual lineage shaped by pact obligations, ancestral voices, and survival under pressure. Their gravespeaking lets them commune with spirits, channel the dead, and bind echoes through ritual, but Kuovena seeks more than obedience to old bargains. Chaotic Good and determined to redefine their people’s path, Ouija treats death not as an ending, but as counsel from those still waiting to be heard.

characterKrildan Myrex, known as Professor Myrex, is a bronze dragonborn transmutation specialist whose academic disgrace became the Road Warriors’ advantage. Once a Von Queef University faculty member respected for material reshaping theory, Myrex was quietly dismissed after controversial mutability experiments and apprentice disappearances. Under Dr. Malevolus Krane, that same rigor now fuels Boost enhancement, biological destabilization, and mutation-cell operations. Clinical, precise, and Neutral Evil, Myrex treats bodies like arguments waiting to be revised. The tragedy is not that he abandoned scholarship; it is that he still believes this is scholarship.
characterHelga Wingkin is a red dragonborn prisoner from Vithyrex's Maze who allies with Jonah, Vala, and Valbrandt before the Wingkin rescue thread is interrupted.
characterRedwave Varn is a captured Gravenhurst Thieves Guild pirate-thief contact whose partnership with Rill Waters and private identity tells matter after Castro used his face.
characterRenfield Hoek was an elven Lawful gate guard stationed at Gravenhurst’s main entrance, where regulations became performance in his hands. Hyperactive, theatrical, and intensely procedural, he treated every traveler, cart, and suspicious pause as an opportunity to defend civic order with maximum volume. Alongside his partner Stimpson Katz, Renfield kept detailed gate logs and served as one of the city’s most visible, if eccentric, faces of enforcement. His devotion was genuine beneath the absurdity. In 2100 MB, he became lost in Vityhrex’s Labyrinth and was killed fighting dragonborn, leaving Gravenhurst quieter than it ever expected to be.
characterCailleach Fern, known as Rime, is a hexelf druid shaped by winter, solitude, and the wilderness that raised her after war destroyed her childhood home. She walks with Kickassery Inc. and the Pink Pony Girls as a quiet spiritual compass, speaking rarely but with enough weight to still a room.
characterSecret Coin is a bronze dragonborn broker and primary negotiator for the Black Company, polished enough to seem diplomatic and dangerous enough to make diplomacy feel like a trap. Once a smuggler, he rose through the underworld by treating secrecy as currency and memory as collateral. His whispering lets him bind agreements into recollection, alter what clients believe they remember, and ensure contracts cannot be casually escaped. Belial keeps his origins obscured while speaking for Ignotus’s interests.
characterNell Quiv, known as Slip, is a VQU New Student and cautious merfolk/water djinni student. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, she appeared with Zetch and Ellenthyra Mew after the trio looted a cave; she objected to Jonah Subramountian’s proposal to break a legendary wand into thirds and argued it should go to whoever wanted to preserve it.

characterStardust — Josette Martinique is a faerie illusionist and former VQU student whose witness to Orlandus’s murder became part of the campus trauma that launched the Martinique sisters toward Velvet Cross and Centrum Security Force power. Her relevance centers on Angelique, Rice Hands, and the way elegance, survival, and social access turned early VQU violence into later institutional influence.
characterJosette Martinique, known as Stardust, was a VQU student when she and Angelique witnessed Albert Rallus murder a fellow student, binding their campus story to the Violince that reshaped the age. Black-haired, graceful, and quietly strategic, Josette helped turn survival into social ascent through Velvet Cross society.
characterHollix, known as Tapper, is a hexelf scavenger from Shatterstone Commons who survives by listening to what magic leaves behind. Cloaked, transient, and marked by copper map-like tattoos across his scalp, he tracks residual Witchborn echoes through rhythmic tapping, stone resonance, and one faintly glowing eye that reacts to unstable arcane disturbance. Once connected to scavenger recovery networks and VQU-adjacent oversight, Hollix grew disillusioned with the Queefdom’s treatment of exploited Witchborn and severed institutional ties. Chaotic Neutral and quietly informed, he now trades rumors, follows buried signals, and may know where failed experiments were left to rot.

characterVithyrex, known as The Eye, is the cyclopean deity of the Power Nine who embodies obsession, focus, and singular vision. Dwelling within the Singular Maze, he constructs labyrinths not to confuse wanderers, but to strip away distraction until only one truth remains. Where Trixie scatters chance and the Aboleth preserves all memory, Vithyrex narrows the world to purpose, stone, and fixation. Architects, maze cults, extremists, and certain Lawful sects invoke him when clarity becomes more sacred than mercy. His gaze can steady, harden, or consume. To follow The Eye is to see one path—and lose sight of every other.
character"You only live once. Not me."
characterSister Vessina, called The Younger, is one of the Sister Treants: a Power Nine deity of growth, renewal, and living return. Where forests push through old roads and wounded soil sprouts green again, Vessina’s presence is felt in saplings, blossoms, root networks, and the stubborn mercy of regrowth.
characterVala Gearsprocket, known as Toolbox, is a gnome artificer and cryptotechnologist of the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, where unsolved hauntings meet field-tested machinery. Brilliant, eccentric, and Chaotic Good, she began building constructs in childhood and never stopped improving them. Her Witchborn technogenius lets her create small animated companions, repair equipment under pressure, and deploy “Mystery Machine” devices that turn investigation into controlled chaos. Within the Lodge, Vala provides the technological edge that ghost stories rarely expect. Some of her constructs behave beyond their design, but she insists that is only a problem after the case is solved.

characterSimon Baker, better known by the hexname Victor Shaw, is a human maskweaver from Rifleton whose life has been defined by deception, disguise, and the refusal to let the powerful go unpunished. After turning against the nobleman who exploited his mother, Simon fled into the Fey Realm and learned to survive through false faces, poison, humor, and misdirection. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, partner to Exaba, and companion to the dragon Walter, he hides vulnerability behind jokes and insists he would never lie even when deception is his sharpest tool. Simon looks out for himself first, but his hatred of exploitation keeps pulling him toward peasants, street kids, and anyone crushed under wealth or power.
characterEllenthyra Mew, known as Vigor, is a catfolk VQU New Student from the Temple of the Equinox Vale. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, she appeared with Zetch and Nell Quiv after the trio looted a cave and argued over a legendary wand; she recognized Ash Stonefist from the monastery and discussed leaving the Temple while following Albert Rallus’s path from monkhood toward greater power.
characterWalter is Victor Shaw's dragon companion, first seen as an egg from Exaba at VQU and later taken by Keredeth during the Smiteclaw Village captivity arc.
characterWhisperstep — Exaba is Trixie’s satyr paragon and collector, a chaotic agent whose life is tangled in cruel games, temporal errands, missing memories, and the lingering damage of Gertie’s forgetfulness curse.

characterFaephine Moonhold Pringle, known as Zodiac, is an elven astrologian noble of Point Pringle whose calm manner hides a mind trained to read fractures in the heavens.
characterSarn Brightscale is a gold dragonborn of the Brightscale family, remembered in the records with more absence than certainty. Listed as good-aligned and presumed deceased, Sarn’s life has become the kind of unfinished entry that suggests either tragedy, secrecy, or both. What is known is simple: he belonged to a noble draconic lineage whose name implies radiance, honor, and the burden of expectation. In Jericha, presumed death rarely closes a story cleanly, especially when dragonborn blood and contested histories are involved. Sarn remains less a settled memory than a missing light, still capable of casting questions from beyond the page.
characterXalaethra is a Neutral Evil medusa sorcerer and exiled noble slaver from the Underdark, twin sister to Calithea and everything Calithea refused to become.
characterAleklot the Green is the deceased dragon whose resting place became Aleklot's Rest and later a dragonborn pilgrimage site.

item+2 scythe won by Morgan from Vithyrex's brick temptation puzzle while also taking a heart piece. Additional dragon-themed properties, if any, need confirmation.
itemA carved cardinal given by Jonah to Valbrandt Wingkin inside Vithyrex's Maze. It is currently a story token rather than a mechanical magic item.
itemA historical artifact and in-world source rather than a combat item. Reading or citing the journal can provide context on Drakkuskan War-era travel, early student adventuring, cult activity, dragonborn involvement, relic rumors, old routes, and people who later became Centrum figures. Exact dates should be treated as provisional when newer canon disagrees.
itemThree instability charges. Awaken to trigger frighten pulse, void-yolk temporary HP, spectral claw attack, or hatchling sense. Final charge determines hostile hatchling, inert shell, or stabilized incubatable hatchling.
locationThe Vithyrex Maze Survivor Route Index gathers the places and people that make the maze legible from the outside: survivor exits, void-scroll shorelines, Point Pringle Exile contacts, Podon's Fangapor debts, and the undercity or farm-country leads that still point back toward captivity.
locationThe Lonely Islands are the off-map Jericha places where Vithyrex Maze exits, void-scroll shorelines, old toll routes, discarded relics, cult danger, dragonborn pressure, Lawful accusations, and portal crossings keep proving the world did not end at the coastline.
locationThe Lonely Islands Portal Network is the route system that makes off-map Jericha usable in play, linking mainland portal sites to unstable islands, terramorphed lands, and displaced places.
locationThe Void Realm is the breached between-space around Jericha's displaced places, Githyanki captivity routes, Castro incursions, and the old Albert damage that made return feel possible but never clean.
