Emrill, 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.

Horton, known as Forespoke, has spent decades at Von Queef University watching futures arrive badly, early, or not at all. A former Centrum archivist during the Drakkuskan War and brother to Poe, Jericha’s leading astrologian, he now teaches divination with a calm precision that unsettles even seasoned faculty. His Witchborn precognition grants glimpses of possible outcomes, but Horton treats prophecy as evidence, not destiny. As overseer of predictive combat simulations and student foresight training, he stands as one of VQU’s quiet defenses against timeline corruption. Some say he already knows the date of his death.

Dawn Jaspers, known as Lullaby, is an elven researcher at the Luxidran School for Alchemical Studies and the guiding hand behind the Witchborn Echoes project. Her work translates dormant Centrum-era surveillance logs into emotional reconstructions, treating history as something felt as much as recorded. Soft-spoken in the archives but unexpectedly commanding when telling a recovered story, Dawn maps memory, grief, fear, and hope into patterns others can finally understand. Her research preserves suppressed Witchborn narratives, but it also threatens anyone who depends on the past staying cold, distant, and easy to deny.

M.A.I.N.E., known simply as Maine, is a Hexelf and forged construct survivor of the M.A.I. experiments, rebuilt by void science into something part sorcerer, part warlock, part detective, and part warning. Their steel, circuits, and scars are obvious; their real weapon is Whispering, a mental manipulation gift that plants doubt, paranoia, confidence, or questions where certainty used to be. With My Alchemical Romance and the MKN Detective Agency, Maine turns trauma into tactics while searching for the other M.A.I. subjects and the truth of their own making. Power made them dangerous, but their chosen bonds may decide what they become.

Nora Rabe von Queef, known as Masquerade, is a shapeshifting noble, political architect, and co-founder of Centrum whose greatest weapon has always been identity. Wife to Magala and mother to Baron von Queef, she helped shape Jericha’s post-war order through strategy, infiltration, negotiation, and carefully chosen lies. Nora defeated Baron Fangapor, later revived her son through the Phoenix Circuit, and ultimately polymorphed Albert Rallus into a rat during Centrum’s collapse. Whether appearing as ruler, ally, enemy, or stranger, Nora survives by understanding that power is not only held—it is performed.

Kuovena 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.

Albert Rallus, known as Pinocchio, was a mighty forged monk and member of Centrum whose hunger for survival became the doctrine that destroyed him. Once shaped by experimentation and void mastery, Albert came to believe that only the strong deserved to endure. With ultimate control of the Void Realm, his discipline hardened into hubris, and he turned against his former allies, sparking a battle that fractured Centrum itself. Nora Rabe von Queef ultimately defeated him, polymorphing the void ascendant into a rat. Albert escaped through the Void and has not been seen since, but many factions still wait for his return.

Djeebus, the Creator, is a divine force of invention among the Power Nine, worshiped by artificers, tinkerers, and anyone desperate enough to build past the edge of safety. His influence appears in laboratories, workshops, and impossible breakthroughs, where inspiration arrives faster than caution can follow. Djeebus grants creation, but rarely comfort; his gifts spark progress, instability, and consequences that may outlive their makers. To him, the world is not finished. It is a prototype.

Madame Sharza, known as Whispers-in-Smoke, is a gnoll oracle of the Sand-Shadow Caravan and a respected voice within the Smokeweavers Circle. Her divinations rise through ash, bone incense, and conjured smoke, revealing visions only to those whose destinies are tangled together. Sharza does not claim fate is fixed; she reads where lives cross, knot, and pull each other toward consequence. Travelers seek her before desert crossings, trade decisions, and dangerous bargains, though she refuses readings when the threads vanish into darkness. In caravan lands, her smoke is not entertainment. It is warning, witness, and judgment.

Whisperstep — 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. Her relevance to the core party comes through Victor Shaw and Walter, especially the Exaba/Exaba Prime mystery from the Game Master Spectacle and Victor’s choice to remain with her instead of fully returning to Jericha.
