Ven's husband died, and she is heartbroken. She is bringing up her two children.
In Tiding 03, the cart carrying most of the Yalto family is separated from the caravan. When Challa finds them, she is surprised that anyone found them, but isn't pleased that her family has been found by two children and Ayof, rather than experienced scouts. Eventually the group (Ven, Venren, Ailen, Savel, Challa, Korrin, and Ayof) sets off to rejoin the caravan, with Iene the only family member missing. Soon they find themselves lost again in the storm. At some point she feels a fierce joy and the urge to dance, and starts to dance happily in the snow with Ailen.

Cromer

## Appearance

A patch of very dense, peaty ground in the salt bog.

### Actions and effects

Cromer is based in the salt bog, but can move around the entirety of eolith at will. Once it is underneath something that should not be there or needs removing, a forest of jawbones on stalks of tar clamp onto the target and pull them slowly down into the ground.

The Envoys of Relict are curatorial, and will also defend what has been collected. Interlopers or trespassers are also seen as an opportunity to add to the collection. They try to keep entropy at bay, drawing on Relict's power and will.

## Relationships

Cromer, with Relict's other Envoys including Edel, Okporoko, Hongeo and Mell, form a kind of gestalt with shared aims. They're not a true hive mind- they each have their own minds and capabilities- but they work together in a eusocial, organic way.

## History

As part of their service, Cromer and the other Envoys bring tribute to Relict in the form of fossils and other preserved items. As well as adding to Relict's collection, they observe, admire, and understand it.
In Eolith part 2, Cromer is moving across the salt bog silently, towards Flint Erul Tun and Oken nim Shalif, with the intention of swallowing them. Flint, with their ability to manipulate rock and strata, opens the ground beneath Cromer and lets it fall five miles beneath the earth, leading to Cromer's demise. Cromer uses its jawbones to try and grip the surface, but Flint severs the tar stalks and it falls into the ground.

## Mechanics

### Strengths

* Many: As with eusocial colonies, all of Relict's envoys have a shared emergent intelligence. They're not a true hive mind- they each have their own minds and capabilities- but they work together in a eusocial, organic way.
* The less entropy around the envoys, the stronger they become; the more chaos is around them, the weaker they become.
* Mell has a horn that shoots bees: she is the core of the gestalt entity that is the envoys

### Oaths

* Expand Relict's Collection: The Envoys are curatorial, and will also defend what has been collected. Interlopers or trespassers are also seen as an opportunity to add to the collection
* Hold Back Loss and Disorder: Adel is trying to keep entropy at bay
* Playing For Time: Fighting for a time in which to observe and understand Relict's collection. In a way, the Envoys are a means by which Relict's collection is observed and appreciated

### Doubts

* The Jackals may be lessening the entropy of the world by killing Relict: There is an awareness that Relict has gone a bit too far and may be making the world at large more chaotic

### Power

Adel draws its power from order, and from Relict.

Aya

## History

* After Bris left her duty as an elder in training, Aya became very focused on tradition, and doing things 'the right way'. Her sister had defied tradition, and effectively forced Aya to take on that responsibility against her will.
* Made Bris a small stone dagger when young. Lost her husband Issin to the jackals. Bris became a scout to protect Aya.
* Became a stoneworker
* Died by falling into the canyon

Tenders of the Dawn's Embers

## Description

* Also known as the Jackals
* Ostensibly their role is to tend the ecosystem of Remnants by removing those that are sick or pushing the world out of balance. This generally involves killing the offending Remnant, as well as its Envoys.

## Notable members

### Tiding

* Rowl Estvelryn
* Dorish nim Shif

### Embrace

* Oken nim Shalif
* (ep. ~39)Ash Pinder

### Shards and Fragments

* Oken nim Shalif
* Flint Erul Tun

## Traditions

* Most actions taken by members of the group are governed by a phenomenon known as The Yield. This is best described as a garden that tells them which Remnants are going wrong; the Tenders then take it upon themselves to fix or annihilate the Remnant in question. The people tending the Yield are something like gardeners, and different plants represent different Remnants. The gardeners can 'read' the plants- not only looking for signs of decay or disease, but also for unusual or aggressive growth patterns.
* Tenders follow a particular procedure when they kill a Remnant, starting by reciting the words of the Litany. This allows them to ritualistically connect with the part of themself that is Remnant. Entering the land, the Tenders would then disrupt the landscape of the Territory. For example, they might sow chaos in the Territory of a Remnant that embodied order or peace, and vice versa. The Remnant is then struck down, and its heart is Bound. The Tender then makes sure all its Envoys are also dead, before absorbing some of the Remnant's essence.

## History

The Tenders were founded when the Remnant of a Territory got out of control and it had to be killed. They earned their nickname of Jackals since, once a Tender has killed a Remnant, they take on some of its essence, power, or mood. Ostensibly this is to preserve the Remnant's ideals in the world so they are still represented going forward; however, this also effectively makes those Tenders into superhumans of a sort. This gives them more power to fight other Remnants in the future.

Korrin

## Description

### Humanity

Like everyone from Ninut, he has excellent eyesight, but is also sensitive to sunlight and wears a veil.
He has a family resemblance to Bris. Long, unkempt dark hair, not quite black. He is gangly and slim.

### Personality

Quiet and relatively withdrawn as a result of grief and trauma, but not inherently shy. A little clumsy.

## Relationships

### Family

* Bris is Korrin's aunt, but she doesn't have much experience raising children and didn't spend much time with him when his parents were alive. At that time, she seemed to him like a cool aunt who went out hunting and brought back interesting stuff for him (including a knife when he was very young, which his mother Aya confiscated); now that Bris is his guardian, that perception has crumbled. At the start of the campaign he doesn't yet blame Bris for what happened to him. In Tiding 02, Korrin admits to Bris that he's scared as the storm picks up.

### Other

* Challa
* Venz

## History

When his parents died, Bris, the last member of the family, took Korrin in. When Bris decided to leave Ninut with Vilte and the Parish, she took Korrin with her. The loss of his parents and being forced out of his home (leaving behind most of his friends) had a large impact on him, and at the start of the story he is quiet and reserved. He spends a lot of time with Challa and her family, and thus with the sleeping Vilte. In Tiding 02, Korrin touches her forehead and declares to Challa that Vilte 'dreams weird'- thus indicating that he has magical potential. In Tiding 03, Challa wakes him as he sleeps in Vilte's cart, leading him into the storm in order to rescue the Yalto family, whose cart has become separated from the caravan. On the way back from the missing cart to the caravan, the party, consisting of himself, Challa, Ayof, Savel, Ven, Venren and Ailen, becomes lost in the storm. He is holding Challa and Venren's hands, when suddenly he feels pain and realises Venren has bitten his hand and run off. He and Challa find them dancing in the storm with no coat. He feels a strong pull, an urge to join them, but shuts his eyes tight and resists the call. When the group makes their way back to Ayof, he sees that Ailen and Ven are dancing too. Eventually Challa and Ayof return with him to the caravan.
In Tiding 09, Korrin confides to Challa that he's not doing OK, and that he's lonely and feels ignored by the adults. He and Challa make a promise, written in Challa's cookbook, not to abandon one another and to take care of each other.

Tiding 24: Paper and Clay, Wood and Gold

## Content Warnings

Death, violence, memory loss

*"It is hard, to rewrite what has been written. To change the thing completely is a long and weary task; harder still alone. A myriad of paths which must be followed to their ends, a detangling of possible and probable and maybe. The more you try to alter in that moment, the further out the tears will spread. Still.
With time, with patience. With purpose.
Yes.
I suppose it can be done."*

*Belka*"

## Summary

As everyone converges on the Helctic Library, chaos rules. The opportunistic forces of the Satraphy, Splinters and the Conclave all make their moves. The monks, and our party, are caught in the middle.
Challa looks for a librarian, Bris turns down a free meal, Venz enters the vault and Belka rewrites the story.

## Content Warnings

Death (from beginning), moderate violence

*"I know you won’t want to talk to me after I tell you, or even listen. So, I’m writing – in case I don’t make it, in case that one day after you want to read it. Maybe when the day comes that I’m gone and Korrin is grown, you might let him read it too.

It’s dangerous out here, doing this. I do it because it’s what I know. It’s what I’m good at. Out here the winds seem to grow colder and colder; knowing that you’re safe, the both of you, warms me against them. Stay warm by your fires. Stay safe."*

*Bris*"

## Summary

Sistre’s chains lead Bris to the Jackal, Rowl Estvelryn. The anger and hatred that she has carried with her over these past years has boiled over. She has chosen revenge. She wants justice – for what was done to the Sharrow, for what was done to her family.
Bris prepares to fight.

Embrace 13: All Hell Breaks Loose

## Content Warnings

Description of insects and spiders, violence, NPC death

*"For as long as I’d known, resistance in Embrace had been like puddles in the cobbles. Disparate, kept separate by the foundations of the city. Over there a union of factory workers fighting for pay and safety; here a group trying to raise their voices above Parsant’s tight dogma. For us Ginnels, so much of our work had been trying to score trenches between those waters, to turn puddle, into pool, into flood."*

## Summary

The estate of Silicet nim Callad was used to hosting parties. Nearly every night, the Minister would be hosting some affair or another. The whole villa was shaped to that purpose; from the central building a torrent of jutting rooms and juxtaposed architecture broke out. A vine-covered balcony, a tiled dome, a veranda on a rooftop courtyard. Silicet was adding new rooms.
There is a secret though, at the heart of this architecture. A gap in the floorplans, a void that plunges down, like a dagger, puncturing the building from top-story to basement.
Tonight, the Jubilant Maybe mean to find their way into that space and discover what Silicet hides inside.

Kallan Onata

## Description

A tracker in the Ninut community, Kallan is ~6' or ~1.85 m tall, with broad shoulders and close-cropped hair

### Personality

* In Tiding 03 we learn that he is struggling emotionally because of the trip down south he made with the other scouts. Something happened there and he came back two months later changed. He feels set apart from the other villagers, as if his behaviours and reactions no longer fit in; he now has a kind of distrust of himself.

## Relationships

* In a relationship with Verask (Tiding 01 - 03), and because of this, Shu seems rather awkward and distant with him.
* Belka: Belka helps to bring Kallan out of himself a little.
* Challa: Kallan is kind to Challa in Tiding 10 when she retreats to him in fear, and he helps her.

## History

* Once went alone to the south of Ninut and was gone for months. Has never been the same since- seems very empty, down, and detached
* In Tiding 03 he seems very nervous about the oncoming storm, worrying about the caravan and pessimistic about getting out of the situation in one piece.
* In Tiding 11, Kallan is described as crying at the sudden and violent deaths of his sister Creve and aunt Ri in the caves under Carn Veskl.

## Mechanics

### Bonds

In Tiding 10, Challa gains a bond on him by showing vulnerability.

## Summary

As alarms wail and the barricades are overrun, Winter’s Lodge and the secrets it holds are under threat from all sides. With the nim Shifs closing in and the Death’s Defiant on the doorstep, the splintered Jubilant Maybe cling desperately to their tasks. As the pressure rises, they can only hope against hope that they’re doing the right thing.
Neah closes a trap, Oken finds his duty, and Ivar and Ezra try to keep themselves together.

Ezra and Oken wouldn’t be the only ones to find trouble. As our messengers worked their way across rooftop, through the cut, down the canals, the Swifts swarmed like their namesakes, looking to pick us off. Over on Lastreach, the cells filled up."*

*Nilkat*"

## Summary

Ezra staggers through the dark ginnels of Calvary, the explosion not long behind them. The whistles of the Swifts echo down close alleyways. The night has turned familiar streets into something like a maze. No. Labyrinth. Ezra knows their destination. They know every brick and cobble, every turn that’ll lead them there. Nilkat. He’s the only person who can get them out of this.
Ivar appoints a deputy, Neah goes fabric shopping, Ash has family problems and Oken contacts an old friend.

Vinassus

## History

In Tiding 03, Jeddah writes that while the people of Ninut were travelling eastwards (where they would eventually settle in the Sharrow), they passed through the territory of Vinassus, who seems to have placed onerous demands on them in terms of tribute. It is possible that Vinassus' territory is Buprestan, but it is not made clear in Jeddah's letter.
Embrace 40: With These Words I Go

## Content Warnings

Public execution, religion

*"Regardless, we weren't in there long... a couple of nights, as best we could tell, before we were dragged out down Mawk's Mantle. That leaves us back where we started, I guess- the flickering dawn, the stage, the bismuth nooses, that bloody heron. Funny what your mind notices in the direst moments."*

*Nilkat*"

## Summary

Our ritual fades, our story ends. Behind the fallen arras, twenty years of asking and wondering, Nilkat and Belka stare into the cooling fire. They trace the knot and growth of exhausted timber, with only ash and ember to shape the phantoms of the trees that could have been.

## Content Warnings

Earthquake, discussion of murder

Violence, police, out-of-body experiences

Rowl Estvelryn

A full-body portrait of Rowl Estvelryn. Art by @GugTheGoose on Discord. Distributed with permission under a CC-BY-NC-SA license: please credit the artist if using this work.

## Description

### Humanity

A tall woman, close to 1.8 m (~7 ft) tall with greyish skin. Their hair is shaved at the sides and long on top, and a marbled green colour. A scar runs across their nose.

### Personality

Dedicated, respectful, rather serious. Determined, but not so stubborn that she won't listen to reason. Believes strongly in her cause.

### Clothing and Equipment

They wear a full suit of armour and carry a large sword. They also wear a choker with a pink protective diamond-shaped gem in it.

## Relationships

### Other

* Dorish nim Shif: Dorish is their professional partner on their mission to remove the Sharrow. In *Tiding 08* Rowl seems to be a little afraid of Dorish, who is acting aggressively and with little regard for Sharrow.
* Venz: In *Tiding 08* Rowl meets Venz, as she sits atop Sharrow's dying body having killed it. Although she is defensive and assertive at first, once they realise Venz has the right of it they instead do what they can to give him space. Although they part ways peacefully, it is not amicable and Rowl is left knowing that she owes Venz.
* Bris

## History

In *Tiding 08* it transpires that Rowl, along with Dorish, has killed Sharrow. She has set up camp atop its body, but it was not done without respect. Rowl made sure to sing to Sharrow, to enact rituals of story and string. She had been told by her superiors that the Yield, a tool and oracle of the Jackals, had foretold that something terrible was going to transpire in the Sharrow, and had been instructed to find and remove the threat- ostensibly Sharrow itself. Her covert mission followed two years of warring between the Jackals and the people of Ninut, with the Jackals failing to get at the Sharrow.

When Venz arrives at Sharrow's body, Rowl realises that Sharrow may not have been the threat the Yield foretold- and that by killing the territory's protector, the threat- whatever it is- now has no barriers to sweep the land. Rowl first tries to argue and fight, but when Dorish arrives, they protect Venz and Shu from him. As Venz and Shu sit with the dying Sharrow, Rowl and Dorish scale the canyon wall and head towards the storm, Strael, believing that killing it as well might yet neutralise the darkness foretold.

In *Tiding 12*, Venz' letter indicates that Rowl and Dorish were responsible for killing Cast, as Venz found Cast's book about the Sharrow territory in Rowl's abandoned camp atop Sharrow.

Fights with police, animal harm, NPC death

*Nilkat*"

## Summary

As the rain lashes down over Embrace, Ezra and Oken take shelter in the carousel. They’ve been laying low here for a couple of weeks, nearly at each other’s throats. Nilkat brings the reprieve they need. He’s got a job for the pair of them—the Ginnels are calling a meeting and he wants the Jubilant’s in convincing others to join. Armed with a list of names—The Triumphant Maybe, The Pamphleteers, The Painted Hands—Ezra and Oken set out. But they won’t just need their diplomacy for the factions, they’ll need it for each other too.
