characterAngeldust — Angelique Martinique is a faerie illusionist and former VQU student whose witness to Orlandus’s murder pushed her from campus glamour into survival, influence, and later Centrum Security Force relevance. Her ties to Josette, Rice Hands, Velvet Cross, and VQU’s first public fracture make her useful for tracking how student trauma became elite access and political power.
characterAngelique 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.
characterIgnotus, known as Blaze, is an infernal sorcerer and former member of the Swarsbard Three whose pyrokinesis manifests through flamespeaking. A strategist more than a hero, he built the Black Company into a mercenary aid organization with darker business beneath the surface. Through his partnership with Maskara Azur, Ignotus distributes enchanted masks to criminals, then profits again by retrieving them. Now tied to the reformed Centrum, he treats fire as symbol, weapon, contract, and warning.

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.
characterRetyunskikh Braskawyk built the name Braska the Red in the streets and strongholds of Gravenhurst, where reputation is earned loudly or not at all. Once a Thieves Guild contractor, he cut ties and rose as a captain of the Graven Scourge, favoring open dominance over quiet deals.
characterBresh Talvax deals in things most merchants cannot name and most inspectors would rather not find. A Castro trader settled in Point Pringle’s trade district, he moves rare materials, planar curiosities, and restricted technology through a quiet network of buyers who value opportunity over legality.
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.
characterAleron Bonapate, known as Caesar, is a Castro-aligned voidling invader who rides Bowflex into Gravenhurst and pressures the southern gate route.
characterCardinal — Jonah Subramountian is a mountain dwarf cleric of My Alchemical Romance whose faith in Djeebus, stubborn optimism, and earthspeaking make him the party’s healer, moral center, and most persistent maker of hope under pressure. His relevance deepens through the Djeebus contracts, his possible future as a Paragon of Djeebus, the wish-bell ring, Podon’s survival, the Crown of Thorns, and the way his mercy repeatedly forces the world to answer back.
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.
characterJeff Low, known as Castaway, is the Black Ward’s least intimidating cleric: a farm boy who followed a stranger’s whispers into the Void because they sounded like belonging. More earnest than fanatical, Jeff prays too long, smiles when frightened, and mistakes ordinary coins or barn stains for divine omens. His communion brings muddled dreams and fleeting visions, usually misunderstood but sometimes strangely useful. Captured by the Castro, he survived by being too harmless to fear and too sincere to discard. Now he drifts between cult and captors, unsure whether he was chosen, forgotten, or simply left standing where the universe last dropped him.
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.

characterD. C. Lawman has spent enough years in Stormcall investigations to know the difference between a mistake, a pattern, and a cover-up. A veteran detective tied to The Lawful and the city itself, he works with quiet authority, patient deduction, and a talent for making suspects underestimate him.
characterMalevolus Krane is the M.A.I. transmutationist and opportunistic expert witness whose old void research now shapes Maine, Arthur, Hollow, and the Gravenhurst legal crisis.
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.

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.
characterM. A. I. C. E. , self-named ENEMI, was engineered in the M. A. I. Experiments as a hexelf weapon built for chaotic supremacy. Born from void infusion and mutation design, he survived by eliminating rival alignment-coded variants and claiming command of EVILS.
characterBreanna Royale, known as Excession, is a source-review profile whose row appears tangled with Al Ivers / Facsimile evidence and needs identity cleanup.
characterYuri Pelosh, known publicly as Ferro, was once Stormcall’s shining armored hero: an industrial heir, Centrum security figure, and celebrity defender whose suits made him look untouchable.
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.

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.
characterFoulcrum — Ash Stonefist is a disciplined monk from the Temple of the Equinox Vale whose void-tentacle mutation forces him to test balance, restraint, and spiritual control against powers that may have been engineered around him. His importance to My Alchemical Romance comes through his loyalty, trauma, and unresolved origin, with active hooks around Wisdom/Charisma instability, Salvatore Mentali, Soldier, counterfeit scrying, and the revelation that his power may not truly come from the Aboleth.
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.
characterRemington Debris, known among the Exiles as Garbage, is a raccoonfolk paladin who turned dismissal into devotion. Raised in the Timberlands with a fierce sense of duty, he left home to defend those the world would rather overlook.
characterGeneral — Orlandus Spokovich was a wood elf/forged VQU student from the Timber Islands whose charm, humor, and theatrical confidence made him one of Floor 3’s defining presences before the campus broke open. His murder by Albert Rallus matters because it removed the student who made rooms feel alive, turning early VQU from a place of performance, jokes, and memorable trouble into a site of public grief and factional fracture.
characterGlintfang — Eveline Pringle is the Point Pringle noble heir whose hidden lycanthropy, marriage to Faephine Moonhold, and resistance to being used as a clean political solution make her central to Pringle succession pressure. Her active relevance runs through Ash’s former hopes, the Greasetooth crisis, Pringle family instability, and her decision to stay in Point Pringle after PP4 claimed leadership.
characterEveline Pringle, known as Glintfang, was raised to embody the polished future of Point Pringle’s most famous family, but her life has always strained against the image built for her. At Von Queef University she presents as a refined noble student, while privately carrying the wild magic and lycanthropy her family worked to conceal. Glamour charms and a silver locket help hide the wolf beneath the heir, but emotion and moonlight make secrecy fragile. Now married to Faephine Moonhold Pringle, Eveline stands between legacy and self-rule, determined that her curse will not be owned by anyone but her.
characterZsaZsa Glittergold, known as Glittergold, is a mountain dwarf dancer, glamour bard, and flamboyant performer of the Pink Pony Tavern whose art turns spectacle into soft rebellion.
characterGrease is a goblin ranger of Kickassery Inc. whose Whisperwoods survival skills, probability magic, and reckless field instincts make her a key Pink Pony route-finder and chaos-pressure character. Her active hooks include the Whispwoods path to K’Zhara Flamehand, a vision of her town burning from an inside job, the mysterious choker, and her role in Freedom’s shapeshifter conflict.
characterGrease is a goblin ranger who’s lived alone in the cursed Whisperwoods since childhood, surviving on instinct, traps, and a total disregard for anything above four feet, including signs. A friendly menace, she’s a deadeye with a bow and a ghost-mushroom sommelier with serious opinions about bird espionage.
characterGreasetooth is a goblin volatile manipulator and serial killer aligned with Evil, the post-Centrum ideological opposite to Lawful. In Point Pringle, he commands or influences goblin bombers, suicide attackers, junk constructs, and bomb-making cells using old Emrysian temple sites and unstable void-tech. He personally killed Tono, PP5’s partner, and remains central to the Maine-variant/Evil network led by Enemy. To some citizens he is a monster; to others, the Lawful’s treatment of unregistered goblins makes the conflict more morally tangled than simple extermination.
characterDarius, known as Grimclaw, is a Catfolk fighter forged by mercenary Violince, survivalist instinct, and the hard lesson that loyalty must be earned in blood. His supernatural senses make him a predator on any battlefield, tracking danger through darkness, movement, and fear. Once part of My Alchemical Romance, Darius has repeatedly been pulled away by a shadow self that hunts him and tempts him toward slaughter, a darkness that once made him a destroyer across dimensions. Now he seeks a simpler path back to Von Queef University, old classmates, and adventure without losing himself. Strong, direct, and more open than he once allowed, Grimclaw remains shield, claw, and unfinished warning.
characterCaptain Helena Briar, known as Guardian, is a Lawful field commander in Gravenhurst whose authority was earned through merit rather than politics.
characterTitian, known as Hemlock, was a tortle druid-necromancer and former elf whose exile from Timber Island transformed both body and philosophy. As a scholar of Von Queef University and founding member of Centrum, he pursued necrobotany not as corruption, but as synthesis: root and bone, bloom and rot, regeneration and decay held in the same living system. His work shaped magical ecology, Centrum governance, and the dangerous belief that endings could be cultivated into beginnings. Betrayed by Albert’s rise and presumed dead, Titian’s legacy still grows through rumor, scholarship, and the strange life rooted from his remains.
characterMona Rey, known as Herald, is a human noble barbarian of Isla Rey whose royal bloodline burns with volcanic memory and storm-fed pride. Raised on the Lonely Islands with tales of ancestral courage, she became a fierce protector of her people and the elemental balance beneath their homeland.
characterHollow / Alfred Rallus, formerly Kuzon, is a transformed Black Ward void manipulator tied to Kaya, Salvatore, Castro targeting, and Arthur's void-healing plan.
characterJacey Fox, known as Hood, is a human outlander and ranger whose survival is bound to the thing that destroyed her life. After a wolf killed her family, Jacey did not simply become a hunter of beasts; her Witchborn Eidolon Bond tied her to that same predator, turning trauma into a living, stalking presence she can never fully escape. She moves through the wilds with patience, suspicion, and the hard knowledge that vengeance does not always arrive cleanly. Hood’s story is not about mastering nature, but enduring the bond between grief and instinct until one finally teaches the other how to survive.

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.
characterJ’Oan was a Castro scout and warrior from the Astral Territories, sent into Jericha with a mission narrow enough to sound simple: capture Walter, the dragon bonded to Victor Shaw, whose cross-planar potential made him valuable to forces beyond the world.
characterProfile details are still being written.
characterKyle Lawman, known as Kid Law, is a rookie investigator in Stormcall and the son of veteran detective Donnie Cello Lawman. Raised in the shadow of The Lawful, Kyle entered the ranks with earnest belief in procedure, justice, and the idea that rules exist to protect people.
characterJanna Brightspark, known as Kindle, is a fire djinni scribe and junior analyst working inside the Lawful offices of Gravenhurst. Soft-spoken, precise, and stubbornly ethical, she has learned that a corrected clause can save a life as surely as a spell.
characterBaron von Queef is VQU's revived dhampir institutional figure and the support target Arthur and Elmyra are seeking for the next Act 5 operation.
characterMagda Emberveil, known as Lady Emberveil, is a human flamespeaker whose presence carries the heat of a royal court and the danger of an open furnace. Draped in black and crimson, crowned by molten hair and a fiery gemstone focus, she commands attention as easily as she commands flame. Her magic blends pyrokinesis, enchantment, and illusion, making every gesture feel like ceremony and every threat feel beautifully rehearsed. True Neutral by nature, Magda is not easily claimed by heroism or villainy. She is power arranged with elegance, and anyone who mistakes beauty for softness will learn how quickly silk can catch fire.
characterLamia — Morgan Draxtler is a My Alchemical Romance necromancer whose family name also appears as Draxler and Draxter because even Morgan is canonically uncertain about it.
characterEphram Glowes is a Graven Scourge alchemist formerly tied to VQU and Boost development from void runoff after the Centrum collapse.
characterMagistrate Verik Thorne is Gravenhurst's Lawful courtroom controller, central to Maine's trial, Krane's testimony pressure, and the legal machinery around Castro-era panic.
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.
characterM. 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.

characterNora Rabe von Queef is a VQU and Velvet Cross power broker using the Rabe House network and Sinclair to support the party while keeping her own position ambiguous.
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.
characterProfile details are still being written.
characterDhaz Pelosh, known as Nightshade, is a human technogenius and noble heir of Stormcall rebuilt from an explosion that should have erased him. Once a promising alchemy student, he survived maiming, partial deafness, and the collapse of certainty by forging prosthetics, concealed weapons, and a colder way of asking questions. His ties to Yuri Pelosh, Andrea Pelosh, the Lawful, and My Alchemical Romance leave him caught between family duty and hard-earned suspicion. Dhaz does not chase power for glory. He wants truth, revenge against Solar, and tools precise enough to make whoever broke his life answer for it.
characterMik Justice, known as Officer Justice, is a hardened Lawful inspector in Gravenhurst with a reputation for uncompromising standards and very little patience for convenient excuses. After a controversial arrest and transfer, he became an internal watchdog, tracking corruption, power shifts, and the growing influence of Red Book enforcement inside his own organization. Mik believes the law is only worth serving if it can survive being questioned, which makes him both useful and dangerous to The Lawful. In a system built on order, he is the officer willing to ask who benefits when procedure becomes silence.

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.

characterAlbert 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.
characterPodon Xopip Kelbar Lokas is a forest gnome monk who left the Whispering Woods Monastery when stillness could no longer answer a father’s fear. His daughter, C’Ment, vanished into Jericha’s urban underworld, with rumors tying her to Boost addiction and Queefdom drug networks. Now Podon moves through danger like a quiet vagrant, following whispers, protecting the vulnerable, and using Flowing Wind discipline to redirect Violince without becoming what he hunts. In Act 5, Jonah found him alive but badly diminished in Vithyrex’s Maze.
characterPercival Pringle III, known as PP3, is a human noble artificer of Point Pringle and a celebrated inventor whose legacy still rattles through every experimental district in the city. Hailed as a Drakkuskan War innovator, he helped define the Pringle ideal: progress first, consequences eventually.
characterFelix Anthony, known as Prototype, is the Hexelf founder and supreme figurehead of FLESH, a failed survivor of the M. A. I. experiments who turned abandonment into ideology. To his followers, he is proof that flesh must reclaim supremacy from forged bodies, constructs, and the institutions that made them.
characterBrody Monrow, known as Reclaimer, is a human bruiser in FLESH whose ideology has been reduced to one word and one purpose. On the front line of riots and raids, he serves as a shock trooper built for overwhelming Violince, endurance, and rage.
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.
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.
characterSinclair is Nora's VQU retainer and Rabe House courier, making the Velvet Cross support network visible through gifts, access, and controlled hospitality.

characterCaptain Alara Vren is a Lawful and Centrum security commander who turns Gravenhurst and Queefdom crises into controlled lines, checkpoints, and public-order decisions.
characterTira Volne, known as Sergeant, is a mountain dwarf watch captain who keeps Red Parade Square functioning through grit, habit, and a tolerance for Point Pringle’s chaos worn thin by years of service.
characterSalvatore Mentali, known as Shadow King, is a soul flayer investor and criminal mastermind whose empire is built from secrets, fear, and carefully measured charm. Unlike flayers bound to the Elder’s agenda, Salvatore forged his own path through the Queefdom’s underworld, commanding spies, enforcers, informants, and debtors with psionic precision. Impeccably dressed and theatrically controlled, he treats every negotiation like a performance and every betrayal like an art form. His shadow empire seeks more than wealth; it seeks obedience. Cross him, and the mind may surrender before the body knows the war has begun.
characterJudah, known as Silvertongue, is a human preacher and ideologue of the Black Ward whose voice turns rejection into doctrine. Once denied entry to Von Queef University, he recast academic exclusion as proof that Jericha’s institutions feared the truth of the Void.
characterRalos, known as Solar, is a birdfolk speedster and former Centrum hero whose fall became one of Jericha’s sharpest symbols of corrupted glory. Once celebrated as the fastest alive and a protector within the Centrum Security Forces, he descended into cruelty after Centrum’s collapse, joining EVILS as a shock enforcer in Malevolus Krane’s circle. His Witchborn supernatural agility lets him move, react, and strike with devastating velocity, turning momentum into Violince before targets can breathe. Chaotic Evil and dishonorable, Solar now leaves fear where admiration once stood. His daughter I.J. may yet become the legacy he failed to deserve.
characterProfile details are still being written.
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.
characterStimpson Katz is a human Lawful gate guard stationed at Gravenhurst’s main entrance, remembered by travelers as the kinder half of a famously mismatched watch pair.
characterGemma Goldgrace is a Queefdom postal worker and advocate who warns the party about Gravenhurst shifts involving Pesto, Kaya, Kuzon, Nick, I.J., and P.B.
characterSulduraks is an extraplanar soulflayer and hidden ruler of the Abyss Club, feared in Velvet Cross circles even by those who publicly deny he exists.
characterThe Aboleth is the Lawful Neutral deity of the Power Nine, a primordial aberrant sovereign of memory, depth, and psychic dominion. From the Memory Trenches, it preserves history not as records, but as living consciousness layered through bloodlines, dreams, and inherited fear. During the Alignment of Jericha, it served as a stabilizing force, anchoring continuity while more volatile powers shaped creation. The Aboleth does not forget, and it does not erase; it overwrites, submerging truth until mortals mistake command for memory. Feared by deep cults and psychic scholars, it remains Jericha’s oldest archive and one of its quietest chains.
characterDjeebus, 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.
characterSister Ylthwyn, called The Elder, is the second Sister Treant: a Power Nine deity of decay, endings, and the sacred work of returning all things to the soil. She is worshiped not as cruelty, but as necessary truth. Fallen trunks, fungal crowns, compost, old bones, and buried ruins all belong to her scripture. Ylthwyn teaches that nothing living can grow forever without surrender, and that rot is not failure but transformation. Rural faiths honor her at funerals, failed harvests, and the collapse of false permanence. In her roots, every ending becomes nourishment.
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.
characterTrixie, known as The Gamemaster, is the Chaotic Neutral deity of the Power Nine who governs luck, games, probability, and narrative disruption. From the Shifting Cosmos and the Gamefields Beyond, she treats reality as a board where mortals move through choices, wagers, misfires, and impossible reversals. Trixie does not create chaos blindly; she engineers scenarios where pride, chance, and miscalculation decide the outcome. Gamblers, duelists, rebels, and desperate fools invoke her before risk, while her paragon Exaba gathers pieces for stranger contests. When survival feels improbable and disaster feels staged, Trixie may already be smiling.
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.
characterRill Waters is a captured Thieves Guild smuggler and water-route contact whose face was used by Castro impostors in the Ash lure.
characterTamber Soot, known as Timbre, is a 17-year-old kenku phantom rogue and abandoned courier from the Lonely Islands, now counted among VQU’s new students. True Neutral and guarded by necessity, they learned early that a voice can open doors, carry lies, or disappear without leaving a body behind. Their Witchborn voice theft lets them mimic any creature heard within the past day with near-perfect accuracy, bypassing even magical detection and making identity dangerously portable. As a courier, survivor, and student, Tamber moves between messages, ghosts, and secrets with quiet precision. They rarely raise their own voice, but they know how to borrow yours.
characterTimonos Truthstriker, known as Tiny Tim, is the Black Company’s immovable wall: a hulking bodyguard whose loyalty to Ignotus borders on self-erasure. He follows orders with absolute devotion, whether from faith, charm, or the simple certainty that Ignotus is the person he is meant to protect. His strength makes negotiations feel fragile before they begin, and most threats end when he steps forward with Tina, the massive axe he treats like a trusted partner. Timonos speaks to Tina often; no one knows if she answers, and few are brave enough to ask. Beneath the Company’s muscle is a man who might have become a hero, had someone else earned his loyalty first.
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.
characterTrivia — Katrine Draxtler is Morgan's Lawful necromancer sister; Draxler and Draxter are recurring family-name aliases.
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.
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.
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.

storyArthur explains Castro's conquered planes, the Lonely Islands dragonborn captivity, imprisoned dragons, and the growing dragonborn army.
storyThis session completes the Vithyrex Maze escape and corrects prior blended summaries: Arthur gives the major MAI/Malevolus Krane/Castro exposition in the safe room, Maine reads Timonos Truthstriker’s Journal, Morgan ignores Jeff and rejoins, Ash suffers permanent max HP loss after Timonos Truthstriker crashes through, Vic escapes by ramming through a wall, and the mass portal deposits everyone at Bones’s cemetery.
storyA Castro figure wearing General Falafelsnout's polar-bear head as a helm enters Arthur and Maine's corridor.
storyThis session continues the Vithyrex Maze with all factions active: Ash and Maine aid Arthur against dragonborn and Castro, Vic and Morgan fight Timonos Truthstriker, Jonah builds a small party with Vala, Helga Wingkin, Valbrant, and Podon Xopip Kelbar Lokas, Ash is displaced to Drow’s cell block, Morgan wins a Vithyrex temptation and gains both a heart piece and Dragon Claw, while Granny loses another heart piece by choosing a severed arm.

storyThis corrected 02/26 session continues the Vithyrex Maze from the cyclops cliffhanger. It adds wall-breaking maze navigation, Vic’s mirror-dagger trial and Dagger of Hunger, Timonos Truthstriker’s direct entrance, Timonos Truthstriker’s Journal from Ignotus, Jonah’s alliance with dragonborn carrying a heart piece, Arthur’s return as a Maine-variant, and the end-state split between Arthur’s heart piece and the dragonborn heart piece.

itemSeveral poison doses usable on weapons, ammunition, food, or traps depending on type. Exact DC and damage are table-defined per vial.
itemControlled dose for 1 hour: +2 to Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma checks and saves; -2 to Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom checks and saves. When the effect ends, make a DC 13 Constitution save or gain exhaustion; the DC increases by 2 for each failed Boost comedown save within 24 hours. A green shimmer gives disadvantage on Deception checks to appear sober within 10 feet. Uncontrolled Boost vapor, gas pits, mushrooms, or contaminated atmospheres can poison rather than empower, applying the downsides without the benefits.
item+2 bonus to Strength (Athletics) checks made to resist being pushed, pulled, or knocked prone. +1 bonus to Strength or Dexterity saving throws against effects that would knock you prone.
itemStudded leather armor, AC 13 + Dex modifier. You leave no tracks and make no sound from your footsteps on nonmagical surfaces unless you choose to. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to move silently.
item+1 bonus to Wisdom saving throws. Once per short rest, when you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can reroll the save and must use the new result.
itemIn dim light or darkness, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide. Once on each of your turns, after you move at least 10 feet, you can treat the next 5 feet of movement as though you were invisible; you still become visible if you attack or cast a spell. You can use your reaction to reduce the effective distance of a fall by 20 feet when calculating falling damage.
itemEarned by Vic Vaurr in Vithyrex's Maze after a mirror-dagger trial tied to his hound. Exact combat properties still need a dedicated mechanics pass.
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.
item+1 dagger that counts as magical. When used to stabilize a creature with a Medicine check, the check automatically succeeds and the creature regains 1 HP; this benefit can affect each creature once per long rest. As a bonus action, choose whether the dagger deals piercing, slashing, or necrotic damage until the end of your turn.
itemAfter applying resistance or vulnerability, reduce acid damage you take by 1, minimum 0. This has no effect on other damage types.
itemAn in-world text written by Maine while in Lawful custody. It is not a magical item, but it is politically volatile evidence: the book argues that Lawful institutions failed during Castro, Enemi, crime, and magical-item crises, then offers Maine's Absolute Solution as disciplined civic replacement, neighborhood defense, item-law reclamation, and popular unity under Maine's command.
itemWhen you drink this potion, for 1 hour your AC increases by 1. At the start of each of your turns, you gain 2 temporary hit points, up to a maximum of 10 temporary hit points from this potion. New temporary hit points from this potion replace any existing temporary hit points from it and do not stack.
itemPlate armor requiring Str 15. Base AC 18 as plate, plus an extra +1 AC for total base AC 19 before other modifiers. You gain +1 to Strength or Dexterity saving throws made to resist being pushed or knocked prone. Counts as magical armor.
itemReaction: when a spell of 3rd level or lower targets only you, absorb it so the spell has no effect on you and its level is stored in the ring. The ring can store up to 50 total spell levels over its lifetime, then becomes nonmagical. You can cast a stored spell using its original level, save DC, attack bonus, and casting stat, reducing stored levels by the spell's level. It cannot absorb spells above 3rd level or broad area effects unless you are the sole target.
itemWhile wearing and attuned to this ring, you have resistance to acid damage.
item+1 bonus to Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks and +1 bonus to saving throws made to avoid falling prone or falling from narrow surfaces such as ledges or ropes.
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.
itemStandard disguise kit with wigs, makeup, adhesives, and related supplies, used for creating or altering appearances with appropriate skill checks, usually Deception or Performance with proficiency if you have the kit.
itemCondensed Void energy equal to 100 Void Dust. Spend diamonds equal to power tier to unlock Void-aligned abilities; consume for long-rest benefits and +1 resonance; used as catalyst for Void enchanting/upgrades requiring matching tier count and crafting skill in a Void-aligned ritual space/forge/evolution chamber.
item+1 longsword that counts as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity. Ash touching a Void Edge Blade also triggered a corridor vision involving Salvatore Mentali, Soldier, Oskar, and Ash's unstable void-related role.
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.
itemImported from the Jericha item archive. Final mechanics are still being prepared.

locationTerramorphed or void-transplanted lands are places whose terrain, placement, or map relationship changed so drastically that they no longer behave like ordinary connected geography.
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.
locationIsla Rey is a migratory or phased town in the Lonely Islands, known for deja-vu loops, unstable civic rules, and movement that makes arrival feel like something that may have happened already.
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.
locationNullport is a voidport settlement on the Lonely Islands frontier, a trade and transit node for people willing to treat unstable geography as a career risk.
locationPhlakin, often spelled Phalkin in Titian Journal material, is a South Aerovian knowledge-route settlement where scholarship, hidden storage, relic dealers, old books, counterfeit armor discoveries, and dead witnesses sit uncomfortably close together.
locationThe Spiral is a chaotic floating or unstable enclave in the Lonely Islands, where local reality behaves more like a negotiation than a law and routes may curve back into themselves.
locationTimber Island is a magical island region with Willowhearth as its old capital anchor, where Whispering Treetops, Obsidian Fang, druidic settlements, sacred ecology, Titian's home memory, lost medallions, and old Emrys secrets form a compact but powerful map.
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.
