characterDjon Charleston is a Gravenhurst Djeebus preacher whose Big Project donation movement, church barrier, and conflict with Jonah make him both civic defender and ideological rival.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
characterHollow / Alfred Rallus, formerly Kuzon, is a transformed Black Ward void manipulator tied to Kaya, Salvatore, Castro targeting, and Arthur's void-healing plan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

characterGeneral Falafelsnout was a polar bear general of the Snout/Svarsbard lineage whose remains became a grotesque symbol in the Aleklot’s Rest dragon crisis.
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.
locationThe Black Ward / Experiment Fallout Index gathers the places where old research, failed containment, M.A.I. fallout, Krane records, Alfred/Hollow leads, and void-adjacent lab history stop being private files and become travel hazards.
locationCollapsed Experimental Sites are Lonely Islands ruin entries tied to Albert, Krane, Centrum, Black Ward, M.A.I., or other void-adjacent experiments that failed loudly enough to become geography.
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.
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.
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.
