==NPCs==
====Akari Corvus Hestorus====
A young knight who purchased the Nemean gryphon from the party. Softspoken, determined, and from an influential family.
====Grestin====
Rector of the Caledonian Spire's library. Eager to help, knowledgeable, and naive. Helped get the party into Prince Augustus' room. Can cast light!
====Hoku Corvus Liu====
A bright young thief taken in and reformed by Corvus Hestorus, now turns his skillset to aiding the family that saved him from poverty.
====Marina Corvus Ferrus====
Hard-nosed, duty-bound castellan of the Caledonian Spire. Is currently leading an investigation as to how someone infiltrated the Spire and Zhao-Leng's dungeon without her knowledge.
====Min-Shui Corvus Jakoto====
Owner of the Three Rings Inn and Tu's employer. Extended an invitation to the party to meet him under mysterious circumstances.
====Shoko====
A shadow Goblin that Valik decided to keep. Sort-of assisted the party through the stronghold. Was eventually sold as a slave to a W̶i̶t̶c̶h̶ Wizard.
===="Steve"====
A mummy the party found in the Caledonian Spire dungeon. Was pinned to the ground. By the ground. Attempted to fool the party into destroying him so he could come back free. Is now in Inquisitorial custody.
====Tacitus Corvus Vellier====
A sailor with a slightly sordid past, his primary loyalty is to his crew, but continues to serve Corvus Cethegus as long as they bankroll his expensive tastes in clothes and tobacco.
====Theliva Corvus Alinus====
A necromancer who lives on the edge of Trian's necropolis district. Sold information about Zhao Leng to Valik, and bought Shoko from him. Not a damn Witch.
====Tu Corvus Tao====
Genial, warm, always smiling. "Subtly" asked the group to meet him and his master at the Three Rings Inn.
====The Watcher====
Immensely powerful, perfectly deadly, hunting the party. Apparently prevented from doing so directly as long as they possess the puzzlebox pieces. Possesses the Angel Razor.
====Wuxia Xilos Hashu====
An enigmatic and imposing figure, emanates an aura of deathly power. Knows entirely too much about the party's quest, and is worryingly disinterested.
====Zhao Leng====
A powerful archmage who engaged in seemingly every illicit practice of magic—from animancy, to necromancy, to Daemon-binding, to shadow magic. Was headmaster of the School of Power for a time, and began the tradition of the Order of Succession.
Created an artifact which he described as his "greatest work", a puzzlebox which, when all the pieces have been assembled, can allegedly be re-opened to grant the bearer the power to change the universe to their will. The party is currently tracking down the pieces of this puzzlebox.
