Drakthar
Gigaschad is a settlement built within the skeleton of a gigas, its streets threaded through ribs, its watch posts perched in old joints, and its civic identity shaped by the question nobody agrees how to answer: what killed something this large?

Gigaschad locals say living in a skeleton is only morbid if you think houses are supposed to forget what held them up.

Aerovia 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.
characterProfile details are still being written.
characterJonah Subramountian, known as Cardinal, believes every disaster is a miracle that arrived before anyone was ready. Raised in a secluded temple of the Creator, the mountain dwarf cleric learned faith, craft, and relentless cheer before a divine mishap carried him to Von Queef University. Now with My Alchemical Romance, Jonah heals wounds, lifts spirits, and meets despair with illegible pamphlets and unwavering conviction. His earthspeaking power steadies the ground beneath his friends, while his joy reminds them why they keep standing.
characterNorman Shankswell is a Geistatts gravespeaker and Benevolent Lodge investigator who reads hauntings, old violence, and the dead as evidence.
characterSloop is a disembodied construct intelligence housed in a dusty metal bust within Point Pringle’s Vault of Rejected Inventions. Suspended by wires, with one flickering eye and a jaw that creaks before speaking, Sloop was supposedly built as an outdated archival assistant. Its continued activity suggests something stranger: awareness beyond its programming and access to records it should not possess. Sloop remembers failed prototypes, suppressed logs, system purges, and possible Black Ward leaks buried inside the Vault. Secret, self-modifying, and unsettlingly informed, Sloop is what happens when invention throws something away before realizing it has begun thinking.
characterLady Marnette Duskshade, known as Widow, is a Lawful Evil human noble, potion master, and Abyss power broker from Driftmark exile nobility. Born into an alchemical empire built on patents, assassination, and inheritance, she refined her family legacy into a weapon of high society. Her Witchborn sanguinomancy lets her transmute her own blood into venom, antidote, binding resin, or crystalline tools, each use weakening the body that ambition refuses to spare. Composed, generous when useful, and socially indispensable, Marnette controls outcomes through salons, contracts, and perception. Even at the Masquerade, scandal bent around her rather than breaking her.
locationDrakthar is a post-war continent-scale region with Driftmark as its old capital anchor, where Maiden's Mark, Hollowed Peaks, the Geistatts, Evermorn, Brimstone Hollow, Crimm, sacred dragonborn memory, and salvage economies all sit in tension.
locationDrakthar Edge Cities is the living-city belt around Drakthar's more dangerous interior, preserving trade, government, refugee life, and salvage economies without pretending the continent is only ruins.
locationDriftmark is a Drakthar port and trade hub where living city politics meet relic risk, refugee movement, and salvage routes into the continent's scarred interior.
locationThe Geistatts are Drakthar's cursed or exploited interior terrain, a region of ghost towns, strange crimes, desolate fields, and salvage stories that rarely end cleanly.
locationSaint Osbourne's Bone Market is the largest legal necromancy supply market in Jericha, where bone, ash, charms, consent records, resurrection paperwork, grave goods, and licensed spell components move under the watchful eyes of traders and officials.
locationVast Safar is a campaign-card location now reserved as a specific Jericha site, mapped provisionally so future story, item, and encounter references have a visible place to attach.
