Bright

Official Art of Bright by @ThatArtJack

## Background

Bright is Willow's Barchoba familiar who lives with her in her arcanium at The Sweet Dragon. He was discovered in the form of a glowing greatsword known as the War Mage's Vengeance which was in the possession of Eltmur loyalists. The sword was used by Borky to combat their summoned demons and the Somalisk assassin sent by Mel. When the sword shattered, the Barchoba inside was freed and selected Willow as his master. Not long after, Borky named him "Bright" after the holy glow that he radiates.

## Personality

To those unable to communicate with Bright, he seems to be little more than a simple animal-like spirit with a disposition not unlike that of a chinchilla. However, Bright can communicate telepathically with both his master and his wielder. These conversations reveal Bright to have a calm and professional demeanor, though he still enjoys simple pleasures such as being pet.

## Relations

### Eltmur Royalists

Bright has no love for the allies of the old royal family as they were responsible for the death of his previous master. They also locked up his sword form so that he would be unable to take vengeance against them. Thankfully, he was carried into battle by Borky and claimed vengeance.

### Borky

Borky discovered the War Mage's Vengeance not too long after the unfortunate shattering of his favorite weapon, "Ol' Faithful." Borky was excited by the potential of the new weapon and by the fact that it realized his longtime dream of discovering a powerful talking sword. Borky is the vehicle through which Bright took vengeance for his old master, met his new master, received his current name, and traveled to Everbright Mountain in pursuit of Willow. Bright has a respect and appreciation for Borky, who he refers to as his wielder. Thanks to this connection, Borky is able to engage in psychic conversation with the spirit.

### Willow

Willow is Bright's current master and top priority. He helps willow when doing magic experiments and assists with menial tasks. Over time, the two have forged a psychic connection that allows them to communicate telepathically and access each others' memories. Bright is also able to use this link to track Willow, see through her eyes and evaluate her physical health. Bright made the decision to hitch a ride in Borky's jacket up Everbright Mountain to ensure Willow would come back safe.

### Lily

Lily was given the opportunity to pet Bright by Borky when he revealed himself to have traveled alongside them. Lily thinks Bright is adorable and Bright thinks Lily gives wonderful pats.

## Trivia

* Barchoba were designed with elements of microorganisms magnified and fluorescing under a microscope as well as elements of rabbits, chinchilla, and amber.
Lawrence

Lawrence official art by @ThatArtJack

## Background

Lawrence was a Penguin Kenku who was encountered by The Unpredictables shortly after their adventure in the Mansion of Lady Corinne. He is the son of the Chieftan of Pugu Village and claimed to be the only one spared from Serindaru's imprisoning pink ice. He convinced the group to scale the nearby mountain to kill the ice fey and free his village. When the party reached the summit and slew the yeti guard, he revealed that he had stolen Serindaru's magic in the form of a scepter and now wanted to kill the gravely wounded fey as well as the party.

Angered by his treachery, the party defeated and killed him and the ice clones he had created with the scepter's magic. The ice cave of Serindaru collapsed and his corpse was crushed by debris. Aussir asked Serindaru to give him Lawrence's corpse which he then proceeded to ride down the mountainside like a meat-toboggan. Aussir then cooked what was left of Lawrence into a stew and ate him.

## Relations

### The Unpredictables

Lawrence first encountered The Unpredictables when they stumbled across his village in a snow storm. After killing, curing, and driving off possessed bears who had attacked the village, Lawrence treated the travelers to food and shelter while explaining the fate of his frozen family and neighbors. They agreed to help, though Valcenien and Ghost did so while laughing at the situation. However, it was actually a ruse so he could get their help to scale the nearby mountain so he could kill Serindaru. Upon realizing they'd been tricked, the entire group immediately decided to murder Lawrence. After restoring Serindaru's power, she recovered his body and gifted it to Aussir so that he would be able to cook it.

### Parents

The relationship between Lawrence and his parents is shrouded in uncertainty. Lawrence had no qualms keeping his parents frozen to use as a bargaining chip with travelling passersby, and his father reacted to his son's death with little more than surprised shock and seemed to not mind handing the body over to Aussir for consumption.
Pleasures Adrift

Zerlina, merfolk escort at Pleasures Adrift. Fan art by @nikkitsquare

Pleasures Adrift is a ship in Canary's Perch that's owned by Rufus Crumblebum and serves as a satellite facility for The Romansion. It sits in a neutral ground between the city's gangs and doesn't battle for influence with the Fishers, the Roughskins, or The Storm's Convergence. The facility is used as a proving ground for new escorts, and all but a few Romansion employees were evaluated there before they could work at the facility. Job openings for Pleasures Adrift tend to be posted in Alivast or Tracadia Capital, the idea being to let employees prove that they are trustworthy and can keep customers' secrets safe before they are posted to larger establishments where they could potentially have access to sensitive information. Certain escorts from the mainland are brought in to evaluate the newer employees and determine which are not a good fit. If they wish to transfer into the larger facility in Alivast, employees at Pleasures Adrift undergo specialized training such as guard duty, massages, waitering/waitressing, cleaning, ledger-keeping and other things a bit more exclusive to the Romansion. Pleasure's Adrift has its own guards to keep peace in the facility and protect its employees. The facility has plush velvet carpeting, and serves fruity drinks with little umbrellas.

* Zeus (Temporarily)
* Princess (Temporarily)
* **Zerlina** - An exceedingly beautiful lionfish triton escort and a favorite of Pierce

## Trivia

* It is currently unknown if Scarbles underwent training at Pleasures Adrift.
Mariyx

## Mariyx Ghaallixirn

Mariyx Ghaallixirn fan art by @Yggdrassal

Mariyx Ghaallixirn is a Silver Dragonborn and current owner, Project Director, and Utility Conjurer of the Conjurer's Corner. He is a sharp-dressed and professional individual who wears a set of spectacles upon his snout. Originally Hailing from Tristella Court, Mariyx has since come to Alivast and situated himself as a respected member of the city's magical community.

Mariyx is currently working on a project to create a Teleportation Circle connected to Tristella Court, so that travel between it and Alivast can be undergone in less than the year the journey takes by other means, as well as increase trade and improve relations between the two territories. However, an Orb of Transportation is required. To retrieve the baseline from unexplored regions of Alivast, Maryix hired The Unexpectables as well as Digsby, a paladin of Hoketh.

## The Conjurer's Corner

The Conjurer's Corner is an arcanium set inside the Middle Arcana District, near Artimus' Academy. The mage tower itself was damaged during the Eclipse, but even in its incomplete state dwarfs Willow's Arcanium in scale. It is known to have a security golem which did battle against Stillhavity's monsters.

## Trivia

* Mariyx has admitted to never leaving his office
* He has white screens and projectors installed in his office to use as visual aid while explaining topics to visitors.
* The arcanium is still damaged weeks after the eclipse because nobody is quite sure how to rebuild it.
Norman

## Background

"No one tells Norman anything."

Working for the city of Alivast, Norman is a Gnome who runs a booth at the entrance to the Middle Arcana District. He is described as a neurotic Gnome with a pair of glasses and a fancy hat. He had acquired the hat in the Middle Crafting District. He had briefly met the Unexpectables.
Gear

## Construct 71 - Gear

Construct 71 - Gear fanart by @nutcaseart

## Personality

Gear is very soft-spoken and has a gentle, cheerful personality and lets others take the lead or be the focus of attention. This is contrasted with their appearance which has a sort of permanent angry glare. Their eyes glow a pale blue. They have blue and gold accents on their body and wear a blue cloak. There is some debate whether they are cream or eggshell colored.

## Background

Gear is one of the constructs created by Artimus. They felt the desire to serve Oreyara as a paladin when they awakened.

## Relationships

### Curator's Curse Crew

Gear felt drawn to the Livrosean art gallery by feeling some kind of compulsory pull. Before entering, they met DeSoto Larkin, Dancer With Big Paws, and Valentine. When the guards weren't sure about allowing Gear to enter on a tour without a ticket, Dancer insisted that they were with her.

### Log

Of course, Log knows Gear! Gear's their paladin!

## Trivia

* Gear first appeared in the Curator's Curse private one-shot
* Gear is the first paladin of Oreyara mentioned in the campaign. Log mentions Gear in Campaign 1, Episode 81 (Podcast 69)
Ire

Ire Fan Art by King of Citrus

## Ire the Collector

Ire is an ornery and somewhat neurotic Elven clerk who works for the Monster Emporium. In the lower districts Ire works at a stall where he examines and purchases animal and mythological creature parts for the Emporium's collection.

Ire seems to dislike working at the lower districts as he believes it is beneath him.

## Relationships

### Task

Task visits Ire's stall quite often as the Kobold practice of "Taking a trophy after every kill" works to the Monster Emporium's interests. Ire is often annoyed by Task's personality and his bravado, and would prefer a simple boast-less transaction. Though it seems most people in the lower districts are treated by Ire this way.

### Monster's Emporium

The Monster's Emporium is an organization that takes in useful materials from monsters, especially new, undiscovered types, and sells them as spell components or raw materials for other items. They have a Guild that sponsors adventurers to go out on expeditions to harvest materials or discover new types.
Valithea

Valithea is a country in the Alton Region and roughly the size as Austria. It borders Eltmur and fought a losing war against their aggressive neighbor which only ended when the Silver King intervened.

Prior to the military invasion, Eltmur used all manner of poisoning, assassination, and espionage to weaken Valithea. When the capital city was besieged, Pandion Corbeau, Captain of the Raven Knights - Valithea's royal guard, led a holding action to allow the populace to evacuate. Despite the Raven Knights' heroic sacrifice, the capital was occupied and nearly razed before the Silver King met with the Eltmur leadership and stopped the invasion. According to Remy, the Silver King was "halfway home" after this initial intervention when, for unknown reasons, he returned and slaughtered the Eltmer leadership and took control of both countries.

Valithea has since been returned to independence and self-rule.

## Named Locations

### Pinespire Mountains

These mountains are the home of the Silver King. Their precise location in relation to Valithea and Eltmur is unknown.

## Notable Citizens

* **Raven Knights** - A notable group of heroic knights whose sworn duty was to protect the king. The invasion from Eltmur had them save the people in the capitol by leading a heroic sacrifice which saw them all slain but one, though recently the organization has seen a comeback under the new royalty.
* **The Corbeau Family** - Prominent citizens of Valithia until the Eltmer invasion. Pandion Corbeau was the captain of the Raven Knights. His son, Remus (Remy) Corbeau, and his surviving family currently live in Alivast (Aria, Olivia, and Lucio).

## Trivia

* Most of Valithea's history was created by Edward Bosco as part of Remy's backstory.
* Valithea's language and names were heavily influenced by romance languages, with influences from French, Latin, and Itallian.
Taimatsu

Taimatsu, official art by @thatartjack Jack Kaiser

Taimatsu is one of the elemental oni, representing the element of fire. He seeks to rule over the Elemental Plane of Fire with fear, coercion and what he would deem as necessary cruelty.

## Background

Taimatsu is the elemental oni of fire and is a competent fighter but has also be known to make attempts of diplomacy. Taimatsu once ruled over the elemental plane of fire, and did so with ruthlessness and indifference to his subjects. Eventually he was sealed away like the other elemental oni. Taimatsu returned with the other elemental oni when the seals were broken by stillhavity.

Taimatsu revealed to Greckles that when he was unsealed, he first travelled to the Eastern Isles and killed the husband of Yukiko. His reasoning for doing this was that he deemed it to be a symbol of gratitude towards Greckles, as Stillhavity would not have freed the Oni if the Unexpectables hadn't humiliated him.

After being in the Eastern Isles, Taimatsu returned to the elemental plane of fire and attacked with his hobgoblin army. His invasion was successful, and he corrupted the Pheonix, enslaving it to his will. He then set out to completely subjugate the populace of the elemental plane of fire.

## Personality

Taimatsu is confident and speaks with authority. He believes himself to be the absolute ruler of the plane of fire, and that his methods are the only way as well as the correct way.

Taimatsu fights with both power and intelligence. He will exploit weaknesses and give himself advantages.

## Relationships

### The Pheonix of the elemental plane of Fire

Taimatsu corrupted & enslaved the Pheonix. From his dialogue, it is likely that he views the Pheonix as that of a domesticated animal, and uses it as a flying mount as well as another means by which to subjugate the people of the plane.

### Elemental Plane of Fire

Taimatsu is the Elemental Oni of this plane. His desire is to subjugate and rule the plane. Upon his release he invaded the plane with his army, killing many of the innocent inhabitants. He then took control of the Pheonix, resulting in the fire Genasi of the plane living in fear of him, and violence of his hob goblin army.

## Trivia

After the Unexpectables tribunal about their encounter with The United Clergy of Oren, Greckles talked with a mercenary from the Eastern Isles that served as a representative for their mercenary company. She soon tells news of the Eastern Isle as the Isle of Hanna was destroyed by an Oni who escaped from their sealed tomb before disappearing. (Though there is no clear name or method described on how the island was destroyed, considering each Oni's personality, Taimatsu is a likely suspect)
Athtar

## Background

Athtar is a Paladin who oversaw the operations of the United Clergy Base, often directly overseeing raids in order to decide the final fates of the crews his parties would pick up; usually killing them via burning them alive, slitting their throats, or dumping them into the ocean whilst tied up, the third option being the one he chose for The Unexpectables.

Prior to Remy's encounter with Gruul and his tribe, he had successfully split the *Blood of Gnash* tribe in order to gain further workers for his camp.

Athtar was a frighteningly effective commander, who used heavy armor and shield as well as magic to further increase his defense. He carried an extremely ornate spear with a banner on it. In addition to spellcasting he could emanate an explosive wave of flame which according to him was "Orun's Embrace" and wouldn't burn those who had enough faith in the sun god, when in reality people he counted as his followers would be spared its effects. The orc leader Snaglak was seared by his flames despite his claims to serve Orun.

Fate finally came for Athtar, as the Unexpectables, their friends old and new, and even a pair of deserter clerics were able to overcome him, and it was Borky who finally slew him, decapitating him with Raunfalt.

## Personality

Athtar appeared to be a cruel, but calculated true believer in the United Orun Clergy's methods and a frighteningly effective strategist, able to divide and conquer an entire orc tribe in one combat and having had a hand in over 300 deaths.

He was exceptionally callous with those who did not show him absolute loyalty, which he tested in combat through use of his unique abilities.

## Trivia

* When Athtar died, his body did not bleed blood but released an almost mycelium-like dark grey ichor that expanded out like foam but dissipated when touched.
* Borky mounted Athtar's head on his spear in triumph. Panic then took the heads of Athtar and Westcott the Cruel and held them up in a mocking display to the fleeing UOC forces. He then preceded to throw the heads into the ocean.
* The music used for his boss battle was "Split in Synapse" by Kevin Macleod
* Athtar did recognize the party when they attacked the camp, but only "as an exterminator would recognize a roach they failed to kill."
Dazzazn

## Dazzazn Tilderaxx

Dazzan Tilderaxx who breaks all the laws of fashion, fan art by @AkiraKeoro

Dazzazn Tilderaxx is a Silver Dragonborn merchant who runs Dragon Threads Tailor Shop and Soap Emporium, which is situated in the Lower Arcana District of Alivast. As suggested by its name, his establishment sells clothes and hand-made soaps. The shop is painted in an array of garishly arranged colors, has a rainbow awning in front of its entrance, and is decorated with obviously fake flowers. These design choices stem from Dazzazn's upbringing in Tristella Court and his personal belief that Alivast's citizens have no sense of style. Dazzazn encountered The Unexpectables through a freelance quest he posted, requesting adventurers to help clear out a Boggle infestation which was ruining his inventory.

## Relations

### Panic

Dazzazn showed concern when Panic introduced himself as a "Professional Dick Kicker," but that concern faded when Panic explained that he was there to help clear out the Boggle infestation.

### Gary

When asked by Borky if he ever had sexual relations with any fey beings, he pondered the question for a while, wondering out loud whether someone named "Gary" was fey or not. He came to the conclusion that he wasn't. The specifics of Dazzazn's relationship with Gary are unknown.

## Trivia

* Monty rated Dazzazn's shop a 10/10 on the garish scale.
* The front door is outfitted with a bell that plays the Westminster Chimes tune, which Greckles seems to be averse to. It was assembled in Tristella Court and previously belonged to Dazzazn's father. Borky requested an order for one to install in his bedroom at the Sweet Dragon.
* The welcome mat at the entrance has Dazzazn's face on it.
* Dazzazn puts love into every bar of soap he makes.
* The door to his store room is very high quality, and apparently feels great on the face.
Ith

Ith official art by @ThatArtJack

## Background

*"Surfing Supported Shattered Starshine/Dust Drifting Directionless Divine/Screaming Sidelining Supernovas/Colliding Colossi Cracked Coronas" ~ Ith*

Ith was once part of a god that has long since been forgotten. When this god died it shattered into numerous pieces, of which Ith is one.

Ith is an extremely enigmatic entity that, for a long time, had only ever been seen or interacted with by Panic Grimtongue. At one point Panic went to the Attic and found a portal within it, after stepping through he found himself in a darkened realm where sound created light, and saw Ith. Ith announced to Panic that, when he addressed it, it would "see him soon", then expelled him from the attic.

Ith appears as a hazy blob of light with a porcelain mask, similar to Lys, plucking absentmindedly at strings.

## Personality

Ith's personality is somewhat similar to that of Lys, having a want to help mortals. However it is far more vague, preferring to speak in rhyme to explain itself. Since taking the form of Catharsis, Ith has often shown a nervous or cautious personality, especially in regards to powerful beings such as fiends or celestials.

## Relationships

### Lys

Lys heralded Ith's coming in a cryptic letter sent to Panic. Other than that, the relationship between Lys and Ith appears quite vague, beyond sharing a porcelain mask as a calling card.

### Realm of Discord

For a good long while, Ith appears to have been the stopgap from Omnimaw's worsening condition due to an unnamed affliction associated with Devils and Gods alike dying, keeping the plane, and by extension all of its associated areas of rule, from totally collapsing.

### Panic Grimtongue

Panic was, for a long time, the only recorded mortal to interact with Ith. In moments where Panic was on the edge of unconsciousness or death, it's mask would appear and repeat a line from it's repeated phrase. Panic met Ith inside the Attic, and it relayed that it would see Panic soon, then cast him out of the Attic quite dramatically.

## Trivia

* When Panic and Ith returned to Alivast, one part of the city's wall, where one of the Attic's chains was attached, had crumbled away, and a new, smaller crystal hung over the city, chained to the Attic.
Rey

## Rey the Paladin

Paladin Rey Fan Art by Elin Brobeck

Rey was the leader and local hero of Everbright, as well as a paladin of Avan. Rey was killed by the thief that attacked Wolf's Den. Rather than relent and surrender, Rey fought until exhaustion and when she could fight no longer, the thief beheaded her and took her head with him, leaving her body behind.

Rey originally came to Everbright village in response to attacks on the village by local threats, including a half-ogre who had killed several hunters. Rey was significantly powerful, capable of besting the threats to Everbright on her own, but also possessed a merciful side as one would expect of a paladin. Many people admired Rey for her sympathetic nature and strong resolve.

## Relationships

### Gorb

During her stationing in Everbright Rey came to befriend the half-ogre Gorb, who lived on the nearby mountain. In exchange for good behaviour Rey gave the half-ogre presents in the form of mundane trinkets and magical items. Rey also taught Gorb about the strength and glory of Avan, her god.

### Brorc Bronze-Fang

Upon meeting the Unexpectables for the first time, Brorc confesses his admiration for Rey's nature, and reveals that the two trained together before coming to Alivast. Rey was a good friend to Brorc.

### Doros and Stendin

Doros and Stendin were sent to Everbright to conduct a proper burial for Rey, as well as enlist Gorb into the clergy as a possible new paladin. Rey trained with them. Doros stopped at Rey's grave while making his way up Everbright Mountain while pursuing The Silver King to rescue Willow.

## Trivia

* The Unexpectables knew Rey only by reputation. She died before they had a chance to meet her.
* According to Gorb, Rey often told him that he was a good friend.
* Gorb buried Rey along the path that leads up Everbright Mountain.
Nine

## Background

*"I am Nine. I am efficient. I am good at my job. It is what I do. I create." ~ Nine*

Nine, formerly known as Construct 29, is a tailor, fashion designer and cosmetic construct modifier who's set up shop in the Lower Crafting District of Alivast, up the road from Wymark's Craft Shop. She is adorned in metal plating forged to resemble a fine suit encrusted with arcane runes and a headpiece that resembles slicked-back hair. She stands with rigid, professional posture and carries a clipboard. As a Construct, she greatly values efficient work and quality of goods, both of which she provides to her organic and synthetic patrons alike. She speaks with a rather distant, professional tone and can sometimes sound somewhat aggressive. However, her shop has proven popular with the people of Alivast and she has a positive reputation within the lower districts.

## Relations

### Paula

Paula is a dwarf who assists Nine in making modifications to constructs, such as grafting off The Straightforward Good Time's metal spikes and altering her faceplate. She attends Eve's Meadow Academy and recognizes Panic from his Dick Kicking Class. That said, Paula and Nine have yet to be seen interacting.

### Panic

*"If only I could one day be this fierce..." ~ Panic, on Nine*

Nine was commissioned to make Panic an outfit from Arkgenos' scales. Upon discovering Panic's leather jacket was damaged with dragon acid, she tore it off his body and threw it into a forge, disgusted.

### Task

*"Kobold, one set of advice: cold weather imminent. **Wear pants.**" ~ Nine*

Nine was more than willing to assist Task in his endeavors to purchase armor for Tarusk, even when it proved out of his price range. She agreed to making a warm wool jerkin for Tarusk and also warned Task that he should start wearing pants when winter comes, prompting him to get his cloak lined.

## Trivia

* Her name is based on the saying "Dressed to the Nines."
* When The Unexpectables first encountered her, Nine was doing business with Construct 41 for an adjustment that would cost 2,000 Gold Pieces. This was the only time Construct 41 has appeared.
* The Straightforward Good Time had the spikes on her chassis ground down to burnished iron nubs at Nine's shop. The work was done by Paula.
Iggy

## Background

Iggy (Igmund Glawbrook) is a Lizardfolk who lives in the middle crafting district, with a penchant for mad inventions and dangerous creations. His experimental designs have gotten him kicked out of a large number of crafting guilds. He was assigned as the Unexpectables new "Contract Craftsman" after their encounter with the Silver King.

## Personality

Iggy appears constantly lost in careening trains of thought towards his inventing, constantly muttering and going on tangents under his breath about things he needs or should get, even while interacting with others. Because of this, he is intensely awkward and it is difficult to keep up a conversation with him.

## Relationships

### Scarbles

Iggy created the experimental prototype sled Scarbles gave to Task and Greckles for use in the Winter Festival.

## Commissions

Iggy's handiwork sure is something!

* He sold the party a small cannon that fires confetti
* He made Task a whip out of a roper tentacle
* With the aid of Fluffy he repaired Panic Grimtongue's broken sword, Fey Slicer.

## Trivia

* Iggy often uses his whip-like tongue to retrieve items from around his workshop from a distance.
* Due to his absentminded nature and frequent failure of his experimental creations, Iggy is no longer expected to produce results by the Alivast Council and has a legal agreement stating such.
* Iggy is known to change color based on mood, such as when he turned bright red while being given an awkward hug by Borky.
* Iggy's favorite food is any kind of snack he can eat quickly.
* When Iggy dropped off Task's whip, he rambled a lot about how to breed llamas. The instructions for the whip quickly degenerated into ponderings about cows and milk production.
* Iggy has professed that he has an appreciation for Oreyara as a deity, as Oreyara's domain is that of craftsmanship and tinkering.
Elemental Plane of Fire

The Corrupted Phoenix perches over the Elemental Plane of Fire, official art by Jack Kaiser (@thatartjack)

### Inhabitants

Fire Genasi, Phoenix, Azer, Red Dragons, At least one Kenku,

The Elemental Plane of Fire is one of the four primordial Planes of the elements.

## Background

The Elemental Plane of Fire is a constantly burning hellscape of fire and magma, with all surfaces being excess of thousands of degrees, and fires blazing since time immemorial. As a result, the environment is hostile to all but that which is born in fire, built to withstand extreme heat, or produces fire itself. Much of the ground is made from solid Obsidian, with trees built from the same, burning brightly. It is directly accessible from the Elemental Plane of Earth, however it requires direct ability to interact with the Earth Planes' Great Creature.

The Elemental Plane of Fire is generally populated by Fire Genasi, who live in the biggest city within. Unfortunately, when the Unexpectables made their way to this plane, it was completely under the subjugation of the terrible Oni Taimatsu, with all living in fear of Hobgoblin violence.

## Places of Note

* **Great Temple of the Phoenix:** A beautiful, large, eastern-themed temple dedicated to the great Phoenix. The Acolytes of the Phoenix monastic order makes their home here, defending it with their lives.
* **The Great Tower of the Phoenix:** A large tower visible to most where the Phoenix is said to perch. Normally this would be of no concern, but by the time the Unexpectables got there, it had corrupted the Phoenix, and as a result had eyes on the biggest settlement on the entire plane.

## Trivia

* Of all three of the planes, the Fire plane was the one the party spent the least amount of time in, totalling a grand-total of two and a half (roughly) episodes.
Blue Dragon Emporium

Dog Zone

Dog Zone fanart by @BrachyZoid

## The Dog Zone

The Dog Zone is an area of Pug's influence where all sentient beings (and some non-sentient) that happened to traverse into its area of influence are transformed into different kinds of dogs. At the heart of the Zone was the Cave of Dog, which appeared to be a rather unremarkable cave, except for the fact that it was being inhabited by a wind elemental and a displacer beast. The Dog Zone had consisted of the Deep Woods Settlement and the surrounding area, but was dispelled after Pug exploded into confetti rather anticlimactically.

## Trivia

* It was implied that the Dog Zone would have expanded in range had Pug remained at large.
* Tarusk transformed into a Guinea Pig while in the Dog Zone, despite the intention of the zone itself. It is unknown why this is the case.
* It is unknown if those effected by the Dog Zone's polymorphic effect could have changed back by simply exiting its range, although if the boundaries of the zone did expand, this would have proven difficult to accomplish.
* While inside the Dog Zone, Borky became a large mastiff, Panic a silky-haired collie, Greckles a Shikoku-inu and Task a very agitated chihuahua.
* Both MontyGlu and Edward Bosco agreed that if Remy found himself in the Dog Zone, he would be a German Shepherd.
Alice

## Background

Alice fan art by @caitlinc37

Alice is a refugee from Lebreaus village who fled when it was attacked by dragons and dragon cultists.

She is a shorter woman with a long face, but pleasant appearance. She has curly strawberry-blonde hair, and has the build of a woman familiar with farm-work.

Alice was out working in the fields when the Dragon Cult attacked her village. She fled into the forest and was caught in a bear trap set by the Iron Claw orc tribe. She was able to heal there but the clan's matriarchs felt that even though it is not unheard of for human women to be taken as wives, Alice would not survive in the tribe because their ways would be very harsh for her. On orders from the matriarchs, Ollem took Alice and fled to Alivast. Alice was able to enter Alivast because of Ollem's insistence.

Alice has moved on from the Sweet Dragon and now works at Irman Orchards outside the city. She tends the apple trees there and is also hoping to get a job brewing cider in the city during the off season.

## Personality

Alice is a very normal, simple woman who craves a mundane life of farming because its what she is most comfortable doing. She's willing to work at the Sweet Dragon in the short term until she can find an opportunity more to her liking.

## Relationships

### Ollem

Ollem is an indigenous Alivastian orc and is gray in color. He wears a sabertooth cat cowl and hide armor made from boar skin and carries a boar spear. He is from the Iron Claw clan that lives to the immediate north of the city. He speaks Orcish primarily and very little Common.

   He hunts boar and bear and lived with his clan until Alice was found in their territory. He was told by the clan matriarchs to take her to Alivast. For his action of stealing one of the chief's wives, Ollem earned exile from the clan, but he was willing to do it because it was the orders of the matriarchs. Ollem has acted as Alice's protector during their trip. When he came to the Sweet Dragon with her, his main concern was for her to get work and be secure, putting his own needs aside.

### The Unexpectables

Alice was hired to be a server at The Sweet Dragon at Ollem's insistence. She hasn't gotten to interact with the boys much, but Scarbles has been training her on serving tables. She was not happy as a waitress and took the job to get through the winter until she could get farm work. She has resigned and left their employ.

She later wrote to the Unexpectables, thanking them for the opportunity, and sending them an expensive bottle of cider.
John

## Background

John fan art by @CitricKing

John was an Eidolon occupying a Flesh Golem, made by Mel after the events of the story's second adventure arc. According to Hassrad, Mel had an abundance of bodies in the wake of the destruction and began experimenting. The Unexpectables met John on their second trip to The Underbelly.

Though John is normally hostile to intruder's, Mel included some safety measures to allow authorized people to pass. The currently known method is a small black skull she gave to Task along with the command "Move, John."

While in the presence of the trinket he is little more than a fleshy machine that takes simple commands. When guiding The Unexpectables through the sewers to Mel's lair, he doesn't slow down to avoid obstacles or allow the party to catch up if they fall behind and simply marches on a pre-determined route, only pausing at branching paths to allow his "program" to calculate the best route to his destination.

At the request of Avryman, Panic and Remy were send to slay the creature after Mel had left Alivast. When they slew the creature, between 40 to 60 souls were released from his body, thanking the duo for freeing them. These souls were used to maintain his reanimation and were likely from all the victims he himself created. A final red spirit left the torn body, cackling with the voice of John's creator before disappearing into nothing. When Panic and Remy informed lady Aila about this occurence, she explained to the both of them that this was the essence of an Eidolon and is most likely looking for a different body created by Mel.

## Relationships

#### Mel

Mel is John's creator and she is quite proud of her achievement in assembling him. After Mel's disappearance, John was left wandering the sewers of the Underbelly, killing anyone encroaching on his territory.

## Trivia

* The Somalisk that attacked The Unexpectables was summoned through John's Skull charm.
* While appearing as a Flesh Golem, John had the ability to absorb Lightning damage which invigorated him.
* As a Flesh Golem, John had an aversion of fire.
* John's "head" appeared to be made out of several skulls. This was revealed when Panic's shatter tore the skin off it.
* The nature of John's creation, the invigoration by lightning and his fear of fire are traits that are extremely similar to movie portrayals of Frankenstein's Monster.
Raghu

Raghu fan art by @BooRad13y

## Background

*"Things are about to get interesting!" ~ Raghu*

Raghu (pronounced Rah-hoo) is an Almon clergyman from Ruba. He is fairly tall and wears a turban. His mustache and beard are well groomed and is dressed as a scribe with a few bits of armor. He also wears a holy symbol of Almon and has many, many scrolls about his person. Despite his obviously academic nature, he looks quite familiar with life on the road and his appearance shows the dust and dirt of travel, as well as having sun-baked skin, even for a man with darker complexion like himself.

Prior to his arrival in Alivast, he was to be the lore-master and historian of a corrupt sultan in Ruba, before he was whisked away by a Brass Dragon to tell him stories for years on end before finally releasing him. He found (or was found by) Azra Sahar, and began the arduous work of chronicling her tales of heroism ever since.

## Personality

Raghu is quite friendly and greatly amused by the actions of Azra Sahar, which considering her personality makes him supremely easy-going.

## Relationships

### Azra Sahar

Raghu was part of Azra's retinue along with Huxley when she came to Alivast.

Initially, Sahar didn't care much for him following her everywhere, to the point that she once tied him to a pole and left him there. He cut himself free and since then she has mostly regarded him with indifference.

### Panic

Raghu and Panic both enjoyed the spectacle of Azra's chaotic entrance into Alivast and were content to watch and laugh as events unfolded rather than take action to calm the situation.

### Helga

Raghu attempted to use his charms to woo free drinks out of Helga when he was visiting the Sweet Dragon. She shut him down.
Professor Rumblefungus

## Background

Professor Rumblefungus is a gnomish wizard and academician living in the Middle Arcane District of Alivast. He specializes in the field of soul crystals.

The Unexpectables first met him while questioning in regards to a string of mysterious murders in Alivast, due his history two of the victims.

Despite being considered both a suspect and possible at risk person due to his connection to the other victims, Professor Rumblefungus seemed mostly unconcerned and at ease, as well as genuinely helpful to The Unexpectables.

After the murders were solved, Professor Rumblefungus visited The Sweet Dragon along with Brorc Bronze-Fang to deliver rewards for the aid rendered by The Unexpectables.

The professor's appearance is that of a gnome sporting a comically-large pair of glasses and pointed beard, wearing a fine coat with coattails of a garish purple color.

## Relations

### Artimus and Dullmar

Professor Rumblefungus briefly partnered with Artimus and Dullmar on the group project to create life through arcane means. He exited the project shortly after starting though, due to concerns from the Hoketh clergy and the decision to not use soul crystals as a method of life creation for the project.

## Trivia

* Many of The Unexpectables have trouble pronouncing Professor Rumblefungus' name. Some examples include Bumblefungus, Rumblebumble, and Bumblebee. Borky in particular finds the name to be hilarious.
Terminal Village

Eltmur

## Background

Eltmur is a country in the Alton region that is about the size of Austria. The country was formerly an empire that conquered several of its neighbors, including Valithea, before its leaders were killed by the Silver King in an impromptu coup d'état. According to those who witnessed the event such as Remus Corbeau, the Silver King had chosen not to intervene with the country's affairs before reversing his stance and dismantling the ruling powers. However, the Silver King's recollection of events purposes that he was deceived and targeted for murder by the royals, and he destroyed them as retribution without knowledge of their other atrocities. For the past four or five years, the Silver King has ruled the country, restored independence to previously conquered regions, and deliberately dismantled many aspects of its former society such as abolishing slavery.

Eltmur under the old government is described as an imperialistic, human-dominated nation. Laws and practices were strictly enforced and focused on maintaining order and thereby keeping the military strong. The army’s heavy toll on Eltmur’s population meant that slavery and indentured servitude were widespread and women were stripped of most human rights. Meryl told Helga that if women tried to learn to read that they would be put to death. Helga notes that there are a lot of women in Alivast who are refugees from Eltmur.

The Silver King's takeover of Eltmur coincided with a brutal civil war that left Eltmur severely weakened. Under the Silver King, the conditions in Eltmur have been improving, but Eltmur is nonetheless in the middle of a crisis. The deaths and emigrations caused by the war have resulted in a shortage of skilled teachers, farmers, and administrators, putting Eltmur on the brink of collapse. This has made repatriating refugees a top priority for the Silver King. According to Willow, many people are going back, but many more wish to stay in their new homes.

While the Silver King is in Alivast, the country is managed by an elderly sorcerer whom he had summoned to the country originally to catalog magical items and artifacts and two of his own children.

The Silver King is currently contemplating other forms of government for the country as an alternative to his direct rule.

## Named Locations

### Pinespire Mountains

The mountains are the home of the Silver King. Their exact location in relation to Eltmur is unknown, but it can be assumed that they are less than a dragon's-flight from the country and on one of its borders. According to the Silver King, the Eltmur government originally approached him because they wished to move troops through his territory in the mountains to attack another nation.

## Notable Citizens

### Refugees and Immigrants in Alivast

* Willow
* Cynthia
* Meryl Quiltin (and family)

### Eltmur Leaders

* The Silver King
* Redmond Bell

## Trivia

* Eltmur is known for its fruit, particularly apple trees.
Ginter's Folly

Ginter's Folly fan art by @rubyflash15

*"Ivan pulled at the chains of his God, and the God pulled back. A chain can be pulled from both sides."*

Ginter's Folly is a large swath of cursed farm land a few miles out from The City of Alivast. Nothing grows there and the entire area is covered in salt. The land is barren ground with salt permeating the sandy soil and littered with the skeletonized remains of animals. There are a few boarded up buildings, but over time they have been broken into and looted of everything of value. People who try to explore towards the center of the area find themselves suffering from a curse that saps their strength away and any food they carry quickly becomes rotted and decayed if not simply turning to dust. Dark, spectral apparitions have been seen haunting the region.

The creation of the region is shrouded in the mysterious events surrounding the death of Ivan, an Aasimar of Ginter. It is unknown if it was his death that created the wasteland, or even how he died. Taylor claims Ivan was killed by Brorc Bronze-Fang there. A box of rotted seeds of Fleur de Mort were found in one of the buildings, cursed with necromantic energy that left them rotted and lifeless and a magical barrier prevented them from being taken from the room where they were found. They were apparently brought there by Ivan and it is unknown if he knew of their dark potential, but he died before they could be planted.

The druid Muidos is at least partially responsible for the desolation and the maintenance of the site, apparently as part of the Council's response to prevent the spread of Fleur de Mort.

Though they weren't permanent residents, the Hungry Bois were hungry because their food supplies had been rotted away by the curse permeating the land.

A sign the Unexpectables saw in the area listed it as "Sunny Dew Farms".
Ophelia

Ophelia fan art by @Yggdrassa

## Background

Ophelia is an employee at the Romansion. She is very professional and answers all questions honestly.

She has blonde hair done up in ringlets and wears a red velvet dress.

## Relations

### The Unexpectables

She greeted The Unexpectables at the door of the Romansion and described the facility and its services and presented them with the contracts to sign prior to receiving spa treatment.

Ophelia was nonplussed when Greckles asked if he could be nude during his spa treatment and she understood it was the custom in the Eastern Isles. She only asked that he cover up when in areas with other patrons not in his party.

She led Greckles and Panic up to the third floor of the Romansion when they expressed a desire to receive the specialty services offered there. She also explained to them that some of the masseuses are also available as escorts.
Boris

## Boris Metalmane

Boris is a Dwarf living in Balton Village east of Alivast. He makes his daily living in the nearby mine, but is assigned to day watch during the events of the Time Cleaver One Off. He spends his time on watch complaining about how he'd rather be in the mines, and habitually sharpening an axe that is already more than sharp enough.

## Trivia

* His last name is that of the Metalmane family, but it is unknown how he is related to Adric.

## Relations

### Panic Grimtongue

Marcus Sweet

### First Introduced

Chapter 7: The Shy, the Proud, the Ugly (first encounter), Episode 9: The Pit (named)

Private Marcus Sweet was an Alivastian city guard noted to be fairly lazy and laid-back. He first encountered The Unexpectables when Task was wandering the streets of the lower district at night after a fight with his compatriots.

Marcus was tasked with standing watch at Dullmar's obsidian house, which the city guard had been unable to breach. Being curious about the strange structure, Task decided to investigate. There he encountered Marcus on patrol, who out of boredom struck up a conversation with the kobold ranger. Marcus shared what information he knew on Dullmar's home with Task, but discouraged Task from trying to break into the structure without the key out of safety concerns and a dislike for the paperwork either arresting Task or reporting his death would involve.

Marcus Sweet died after helping The Unexpectables halt a string of murders in Alivast. In his honor, The Unexpectables named their tavern "The Sweet Dragon." A special bench was built by the city in his memory at the place where he died.

## Relationships

### Task

Task and Marcus seem to be pretty amicable with each other. When Marcus incorrectly performed a salute though, Task's inner soldier screamed to himself. Marcus' nickname for Task is "little dragon dude".

## Trivia

* Task thought about recruiting Marcus as the tavern's bouncer but decided against it due to his nonchalant attitude.
* Cause of death: cloth wrung by Dullmar
* In his memory, the Unexpectables' tavern was named The Sweet Dragon. The dragon part of the name is referring to Tarusk.
