Зачарование

**Зачарование** (англ. *Enchanting*) — механика магического усиления оружия, брони или украшений, в ходе которой изменяется их качество. К зачарованным предметам относятся:

* **Необычные** (1 дополнительное свойство).
* **Редкие** (2 дополнительных свойства).
* **Проклятые** (2 дополнительное свойства + случайное проклятие).

Любые зачарования можно снять при помощи свитка снятия чар.

## Наложение чар

С помощью свитка зачарования можно один раз наложить чары на любой элемент экипировки.

* Зачаровывать можно только предметы **Обычного** качества, при этом они становятся **Необычными**.
	+ До патча 0.6.0.12 становились **Редкими**.
* Зачаровываемая вещь получает одно случайное дополнительное свойство фиксированного значения из списка подходящих для неё чар.
* Повторное использование свитка на зачарованном предмете заменит уже существующее усиление на случайное другое.

## Проклятия

Проклятые предметы имеют чуть более высокие бонусы зачарований, а также обладают одним из видов проклятий. Принцип работы проклятия:

* Даёт сильный бонус к определённой характеристике, но добавляет негативный эффект, который с некоторым шансом (минимум 5%) воздействует на персонажа каждый ход. Этот шанс также растёт каждый ход, но уменьшается при убийстве любых противников.
* Проклятые вещи после надевания нельзя снять. Но можно очистить саму вещь при помощи свитка снятия чар.
Firedaughter

Firedaughter once accompanied Arvan Basorium in his youth, when he was an adventurer learning about the world. She now holds the position of court wizard within the Imperial Court. She is the second most powerful wizard in the Empire, second only to Anoteras Katheti.

There are those in the Imperial Court that say Arvan would not be worthy of the throne today without her influence on their adventures. Due to this, Firedaughter may be one of the few people Arvan trusts implicitly.

Firedaughter is known to be brusque in her dealings.

Ghost

A ghost is a spirit without a body, usually some manner of undead such as a spectre or a wraith.

A devil or demon soul that has detached from its material form, perhaps to possess another, can also be referred to as a ghost. In common usage, however, the word "ghost" is usually reserved for undead spirits.

Deep Anguish

Demon Coast

Deep Anguish is the name retrospectively given to a truly enormous hellhole that suddenly formed around the mouth of the Abyss. It encompassed a large portion of the Red Waste and the Demon Coast, and had weird effects on the space that encompassed it.

After Tarian was momentarily displaced by a devil attack, freeing Karhozat from its imprisonment within the Abyss, the hellhole disappeared.

### Lowcastle

Major residential district. Seriously, lots of houses. Glitterhaegen’s largest garrison can also be found here.

Ju-Ya M'Lima

Je'Nai, or, by his surname as he is generally known, 'Calabash', is a travelling acrobat and musician with the Koru Karnival troupe. Calabash is a devotee of the Ju-Ya M'Lima sect, which many outsides regard as a cult, and is often seen in meditative prayer when he is not performing or practicing his routines.

Occasionally, Calabash is known as Balafon or simply 'Bala' after his favoured instrument, the balafon, a wooden xylophone-like instrument augmented by gourds from below that amplify the sound.

## Appearances

Baelnorn

A baelnorn is an elf who is even more immortal than an elf normally is. They have been cursed with knowledge, their soul bound to a secret so that as long as no one else knows it, they can never die. Some elves take up this curse voluntarily to safeguard the Court's secrets. Others have it foisted upon them as a punishment for the gravest of crimes.

Each baelnorn is also bound to a location, known as their domain, which is usually related to their secret. If a baelnorn's body is killed, instead of reincarnating, their soul will manifest a new body in their domain within a matter of weeks, days, or even hours. If their secret is discovered, however, they can be killed and reincarnated like any other elf. Strictly speaking, a baelnorn shouldn't be able to leave their domain.

Baelnorns known to the party include Valnos Shadestar, Theralar Silvercrest, and Nyalastha.
Lofrudd

Pryf

Lofrudd is the Red Wyrm. He is the largest of the Wyrms, and has the most fearsome reputation. Because of his size, the Archmage's protective wards prevent him from physically entering most imperial territory.

When in humanoid form, he is a very large and red-skinned ogre.

He is one of The Three, along with Rhith and Cysgod.

Lofrudd was once close to Rannu, treating him a little like a younger brother. It is rumoured that he views Rannu's increasing bouts of depressive introspection as weak and self-pitying, and so now spurns his company.

Harasi

Harasi was a city in the middle of the Red Wastes. It was populated mostly by lizardfolk, and governed by a brass dragon named Sudroi. Its existence went largely ignored or unnoticed by the Dragon Empire.

## History

It all started with a few tribes of lizardfolk who lived in the Red Wastes for centuries. Several decades ago, they moved into the ruins of a long-dead elven city, destroyed long ago by an army of red dragons.

Over time, the ruins were built into the city of Harasi. The city was dominated by several tall towers and lay in the shadows of ancient stone statues. Harasi was mostly inhabited by lizardfolk, but some orcs, kobolds, goblins, and even a few dragonics lived there, too.

Harasi was attacked by monsters recently, which Sudroi and some of her followers blamed this attack on the orc tribe to the west.

## Districts

### Amber

The outskirts of the city, where ranchers raised giant lizards and other strange livestock for meat, in addition to various succulents, vegetables, and mushrooms. Home of the renowned Harasi cactus wine.

### Galena

Wide streets, more patched-up buildings, markets, tents and cloth shades, taverns, etc. At night, hordes of tormented ghosts haunted the streets.

### Feldspar

Lots of uninhabited (or squatted) buildings, dirty streets, quarries, excavations, scrap yards, old warehouses and workshops.

Ghosts roamed the streets at night here too. They stemmed from the tormented memories of the spectre of Tarielye Goldenray, the undead soul of one of the ancient elven city's administrators who haunted one of Feldspar's towers.

### Larimar

Old elven temples. One of the larger temples, once devoted to the worship of nature spirits, acts as a kind of embassy for druids visiting from the Wild Wood to the east.

Another temple housed an ancient healing spring that the citizens of Harasi protected as sacred. Inside the temple, a young white dragon named Ireph treated the healing spring as his lair, where he slept during the day, imbuing him with divine powers. He would then venture out into the city and use these powers to purge the ghosts from the streets.

### Tombac

The palace district. The palace itself, where Sudroi resides, is a converted amphitheatre. Tombac is also host to the city watch headquarters and upper class residences.

## Fall

After the emergence of Karhozat, Harasi was overrun and destroyed by devils. Many of its people were scattered or killed. Sudroi attempted to fight off the devils, but was vastly overwhelmed and forced to flee.

Some time later, Lofrudd returned to the Red Waste and chased out the devils there. Some of the survivors from Harasi converted the ruins of their city into a temple dedicated to his worship.

First Triumph

A fortress city, built to be impenetrable by Lord Frommler. This city serves as the headquarters to the Triumphant Legion. It was the first and largest hellhole that Lord Frommler has conquered to date.

It is said that the city will last for centuries even if the rest of the world burns. In addition to the large garrison of Triumphant Legionnaires, the city is defended by hundreds of enslaved demons, bound to the Legion's will by an enormous slade spike atop Frommler's citadel.

Recently, however, Shalia Blackrain contrived the spike's destruction, causing the demons to break free of the Legion's control and ravage the city. Thousands died in the battle, and the city lies in shambles, its former might lying in tatters after a single day.

## Notable Characters

* Maximillian Frommler
* Theralar Silvercrest
* General Macintosh
Dwarven Kingdom

The Dwarven Kingdom is the new home of the United Dwarven Diaspora after they were forced to leave Underhome.

## Major settlements

Forge is the capital and largest city in the Dwarven Kingdom. It's mostly underground. Anvil is the second largest city, followed by Ingot.

Drake devil

An archon with an appearance reminiscent of a red dragon. It was stashed by Twice Fallen agents in the Red Waste after Karhozat emerged from the Abyss, where it was recovered by the Drakevakt. Alina transmigrated into it as part of the mission to infiltrate Karhozat.

Things known about its past experiences:

* It worked as a relic hunter (possibly among other duties) as part of the Demiurge's Circle of Logistics.
* It once had a troubling experience trying to navigate Karhozat's labyrinthine corridors and was subsequently late for an important appointment.

## Appearances

Ebon Gauntlet

Saint Richter

Saint Eifer

Elizabeth

Drakevakt

The Ebon Gauntlet is a secret black ops unit of the Triumphant Legion. Its members, subjugated by months of torture and long-term exposure to the Echo in a process referred to as canonisation, possess the ability to wield the Echo's entropic properties, and to forcefully breach the planar barrier between it and the physical world.

The principles behind the Ebon Gauntlet's capabilities and methods were pioneered by Legion newcomer Theralar Silvercrest. They operate largely independently from the rest of the Legion, though they ultimately answer to Frommler.

## Saints of the Ebon Gauntlet

Members of the Ebon Gauntlet, redubbed as "saints", are subjected to a brutal, agonising process known as canonisation. The details of the process aren't known in detail, but it involves extensive exposure to the Echo, and has devastating and lasting effects on the subject's sense of self. Saints are known to be thoroughly indoctrinated into the Triumphant Legion's mission, and unwaveringly loyal to Lord Frommler.

Saints often wear grotesque-looking helmets or masks. Perhaps this is to signify their whole-hearted devotion to the Legion's cause. Perhaps it's to hide their lack of eyes, a possible side effect of canonisation. They are named in the old Imperial tongue for virtues their masters see them as ironically embodying in their lives before canonisation. For example, Saint Troya, a copy of Princess Laurelei, is named for loyalty because of her perceived duplicity against the Empire's goals, and Saint Richter, a simple-minded ogre, is named for justice because of his perceived lack of ability to comprehend right from wrong.
Concord

Concord, the City of Spires, is the most cosmopolitan of the Dragon Empire's great cities. It serves as a gateway to both Drakkenhall and the Queen's Wood. As a result, it acts a major hub of diplomatic relations.

Though it's been a mainstay of the Empire for many ages, Concord was built on the Shirelands, which was once halfling land. Even today, Concord has a sizeable halfling minority population, who mostly live in slums in the shadows of Concord's iconic spires.

Daniel Hart

Cloud Sea Corsairs

Daniel Hart was the bandit lord of the Violet Rose Syndicate and head of the Purple Lotus in Glitterhaegen. He was Dalsa Quaradeth's husband and a close friend of Bright Eyes.

## History

Daniel Hart always had a troubled life. His own father was a woodcutter near the Wild Wood, and his mother was a milk maid, so they never had much money. Growing up, Daniel always admired traders who came through with all their fancy goods. As time progressed Daniel became more and more aware of the injustice shown to his hard-working parents.

It began as simple street crimes like pick pocketing, but slowly, over the years, Daniel became more aggressive with his arts. In doing so, he attracted others to his 'party' and over time he became the leader of a group of bandits, who came to be known as the Violet Rose Syndicate.

He was turned into a tree by Anase Rivermoon during an attack on the Purple Lotus' Glitterhaegen headquarters. An unknown amount of time later, he revived, still in his tree form, and formed a group of sky pirates called the Cloud Sea Corsairs.

Llifafon Training School

Leaf

Odessen

Letisia

Holgo

Bren Crestfire

Drakkenhall

Newport

Frost Ranges Clans

Llifafon's training school, is owned and operated by Llifafon Waterflow. Extremely selective about who he trains these days, for reasons he prefers not to go into. Llifafon is currently training 5 students, with room for 2 more.

Since the school was set up, it was based in Newport, however since Seren's forces took it over. The school is now looking for a new place to call home, preferably somewhere more politically stable.
Esgyrn

Esgyrn was the White Wyrm. He was killed by the Wizard King. His death created the frozen wasteland now known as Moonwreck.

Esgyrn also created the elaborate labyrinthine dungeon in which Vanic was later imprisoned.

His skull was recovered from Moonwreck by the Order of the Holy Dragon, who now keep it as a holy relic in their temple in Drakkenhall.
Human

The most common people of the Dragon Empire.

## Mysterious Origins

The beginnings of the human race are deliberately shrouded in secrecy. They were created by the Wizard King to act as his servants. During the Great Uprising, they fought in his defence against the insurgent alliance. Whether this was willing or coerced is unknown.

Also shrouded in secrecy is that the vast majority of humans lack souls. This was a particular vulnerability during the Devil War, as it makes them especially susceptible to possession. Now that Karhozat has returned, this vulnerability is of renewed interest.
House Silvercrest

A pendant signifying loyalty to House Silvercrest

A controversial yet very powerful Drow House. With the recent ascendency of their leader, Kreanna Silvercrest, to the position of Archfey, they are widely considered the most influential Drow House in the Court of Stars.

Their history is still haunted, however, by the lingering whispers of the crimes and exile of Theralar Silvercrest.
Dewin

Dewin is a highly intelligent blue dragon, and second in command to Rhith within her organisational structure. Dewin is an immensely powerful sorcerer, a master strategist, and highly capable of coordinating matters of state.

When Rhith managed to take over Newport, Dewin was sent as her representative, and took over the management of military, security, projects, economics, and policy implementation.

## Indentured Servitude

One of the most effective policies implemented by Dewin was in response to the devils' escape from the Abyss. At first received quite well by Newport was one of "indentured servitude" (chattel slavery), a way of providing new sources of labour, "freeing" people from debt (by literally chaining them in it), and strengthening Newport as a whole. Anyone could sell themselves into a state of servitude for a contracted time (or sell prisoners into it for profit), and the deed holder was responsible for the well being of those in their care, providing housing, food and more. Through this policy, Dewin managed to strengthen Newport into a city fortress, expand military projects, and add security that was missing without the Empire's protection.

Eventually, problems began to creep into the policy, and the party took issue with the policy as a whole. They acted against the policy, and Seren and her forces took advantage of the chaos followed by the party's activities. With this, Dewin was forced to flee Newport, and was last seen flying in the direction of Newport, but hasn't been seen since.

Librams and Lillies

As the Karnival approaches Concord, preparations for the next show are in high gear. The master of ceremonies calls on some of the less busy workers to solve a couple of problems around town.

## Story

Ringleader Henry Iverson calls a few Karnival folk -- the pixie barker, a Spookshow attendant, one of the Wind Twins, and a clerk -- to his office to solve some mysteries for a couple of the townsfolk. Leslie Tiller, the local florist, has reported some stolen flowers, and the Karnival's resident magician, Plaff Zingleback, refuses to work until his missing spell books are returned.

The intrepid team decides to talk to Leslie first, who tells them one of her window planters was taken. When asked if she's seen anyone suspicious, she reports a few people who'd been lurking around her cottage over the past few days: Madam Hellsang, Lidana Bronzebell, and Grantuk.

With some leads fresh in hand, the investigation squad goes first to pay Plaff a visit. Things get off on the wrong foot pretty quickly with Sky's incessant knocking and Ava's impatience with Plaff's pretensions. Nonetheless, the magician tells the group that several of his "tomes" (as he calls them) have gone missing, and they're too dangerous to let fall into imprudent hands (or so he claims). He doesn't have much more to say than that, but fortunately, Delphin manages to smooth-talk him into getting back to preparations for the Concord show while they search for his missing books. As the gang is leaving, Sky slyly pilfers one of Plaff's books on her way out.

The mystery crew decide to change gears for a bit and goes to "the hotel", the apartment building where Madam Hellsang lives. Delphin unexpectedly produces a key to Hellsang's apartment, which Ava, who lives with Hellsang, discovers had been pickpocketed from her. Instead, they knock, and Hellsang greets the circus task force at the door. As they enter the fortune teller's home, they see a bloodhound lazily reclining in the corner that she's looking after for a friend. Ava goes to the kitchenette to put on some tea while Sky and Delphin ask Hellsang about the flowers. After several questions, a few cups of tea, and some amateurish card-based divination from Ava, they don't have much in the way of answers other than the fact that Hellsang probably had nothing to do with it.

Only somewhat deterred, the sleuthing squad pay a visit to their next suspect: Lidana Bronzebell, the Karnival's resident costuming maestro. She is, however, outrageously preoccupied with preparations for the upcoming show, so there isn't much opportunity to question her. She is, for instance, putting the final touches on a magnificent dress for a big dance performance.

She had a dogsbody in Gyles Dermund. After his traumatic death, she eventually recruited a replacement (of sorts) in Layla Crestfire.

She is currently in a relationship with Pelydr.

## Biography

### Youth

Alina was conceived in the Astral Plane as the result of a romantic tryst between Rannu and Queen Banrion. Her egg sprang into being in the Thronewood where she later hatched. To protect the vulnerable child from the dangers and politicking of the Court of Stars, she was secreted off to the Wild Woods where Banrion had arranged a secret deal with her half-sister, the High Druid to care and raise the child.

Alina had a difficult childhood, she was a poor student and was subjected to various punishments to restrict her magic and aggressive tendencies.

As soon as she reached her 16th birthday, she was allowed to join the most distant from druids organisation she was able - The Grey Ghosts. She spent the next few years with them under and served as a protege to Casilda Grey.

A mysterious figure from long ago who supposedly killed the wizard Nazerick. Reportedly, he was the first arcanite created by the Wizard King and the Mother of Humans, and is still fiercely loyal, carrying out the Lich King's will to this day.

*Many names and titles can be used to describe Comache, the first born of the arcanite race. He is the Eternal King's most powerful, and most faithful servant. He destroyed the entire city of elemental born, Salmonte. Then raised **all** of the inhabitants as a horde of zombie for the Eternal King's armies. Half of them may have been destoryed shortly after, but that's only becuase they are the ones that remained in it's garrison, the other half continue to server to this day, and the horde has only grown since then. As a reward for his slaughter of Salmonte, he was given a great dragon to command.*

*Now you may be asking why I am telling you about him. It is simple, he will come for you. He loathes his mother, and freeing her will draw his ire, maybe not a week or a month from now. But in time he will gain vengeance on you. Protect her the best you can, I will no longer be able to help once our business is done here.*

*- Lord Kelka Morda*
Agan

Agan was an ogre who served in the Triumphant Legion in a misguided effort to atone for his evil ways. He was later inducted into the Ebon Gauntlet and canonised as Saint Richter.

On Cloudhome, he clashed with the party and was killed, though it soon became apparent that he had been slime-cloned by Theralar. It's possible there are still more clones in the Gauntlet's ranks.

Court of Stars

Kreanna Silvercrest

Tark Stormshade

Ayrie Mindfire

Shalia Blackrain

Druidic Enclave

The Court of Stars (also known as the Elf Queen's Court, the Seelie Court, the First Court of the Unified Elven Kindred, or simply The Court) is the seat of power in elven society. It is home of the queen's palace and the gathering place of the Archfey Triune.

It is primarily located in the Glimmer, and can generally only be entered from the centre of the elven city of Idir.

## Ranks of Influence

The major ranks in the Court, in ascending order, are:

* **Valiant:** An old fey title granted to those who swear fealty to the masters of the Court.
* **Eladrin:** Major members of elven society are often granted this title, and allowed to congregate in places of power within the Court.
* **Archfey:** The Archfey Triune consists of a representitive of each of the three elven tribes. They are second only to the queen herself.
* **Queen:** The highest authority in elven society.

## Tendencies

As one wanders the Court, they may find themselves in different "parts" of it, seemingly without intent nor explanation.

### Greenwood

By far the most common tendency. The Greenwood is very similar in appearance and nature to the Queen's Wood, and is home to most of the Court's wood elf population. Woodland creatures are abundant here, and generally more bold and placid than seems natural.

### Lightwood

The next largest district, the Lightwood is characterised by great, towering trees, shimmering crystal rivers, and exotic wildlife of impossible variety. The Court's high elf population prefers this tendency, usually in treetop villages.

### Darkwood

This gloomy tendency is cloaked with moss, dotted with mushrooms, and shrouded with mist. It rains here more commonly than any other tendency, and the wildlife are more reclusive and creepy -- giant bugs are especially common. It would be inaccurate to say that the court's dark elves like staying here, but this is where they generally stake their posts.

### Thronewood

The queen's palace grounds. Here, the planar boundaries become particularly tenuous, bleeding more and more into the Gloam or even the Astral Plane itself.

* Places Between
* Star-crossed
Late Returns

The Wild Wood in the Glimmer

During the dwarven All Saints festival in Santa Cora, Morgrim's treasured book is stolen by a couple of grifters, despite his suspicions. The party tracks the thieves to a sleepy forest town called Cedarbrook to retrieve it.

Archfey Triune

Pelleas Dawnscript

The Archfey Triune is a group of three elves appointed to represent the three major elven tribes: one by the high elves, one by the wood elves, and one by the dark elves. Aside from the queen, they are the most powerful people in elven society. They meet in the Court of Stars to observe their responsibilities.

The current Archfey are:

* Firre Edgeland, representative of the wood elves.
* Pelleas Dawnscript, representative of the high elves, who recently claimed the title after Thulean Novaken was disgraced when the Idir headquarters of Novaken-Mindfire Eternal Industries was destroyed by Lofrudd.
* Kreanna Silvercrest, representative of the dark elves, and matriarch of House Silvercrest. Kreanna recently took over the Archfey title from her arch-rival, Tark Stormshade.
George Baconworth

Balin Mah

Triumphant Legion (former)

Balin Mah is a half-orc, half-dwarf revenant. He first died in the last dwarf/orc war, fighting on the side of the orcs. In this war, he was slain by orcish warriors while protecting the life of a powerful dwarven thane. In saving this thane, he was sent to be buried amongst the Crusader's people. He was risen into unlife by the Triumphant Legion, after which he deserted their ranks with a vengeance.

He is currently the chieftain of the Tauresh clan, and is seeking trade with the Dragon Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom. He is using his connections to try to help his people, as his father was Narnar Burarag, who was once a leader of a few clans close to the the Dwarven Kingdom.

Bright Eyes

Cloud Sea Corsairs

Wurezg (usually called Bright Eyes) is an ogre who was a high-ranked member of the Purple Lotus. His real name isn't known to many.

He is a level-headed strategist and logistician who isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty. When it comes to leadership, he's found that he prefers acting as a second-in-command and facilitator.

Along with Dalsa Quaradeth, he is the only surviving member of the Purple Lotus leadership.

## Backstory

### Beginnings

Bright Eyes grew up in the mountains of Giant Walk, the sole magical prodigy of a tribe of ogres, where he got his name from the ambitious gleam in his eyes. Before he'd even undergone the trial of adulthood, Bright Eyes used his gift for magic to challenge for the tribe's leadership, and though he succeeded, the rest of the tribe came to resent his ruthless aspirations, and cast him out.

He was taken in by an eccentric wizard who made his lair in the mountains above First Triumph. Under the wizard's tutelage, he honed his gift with proper study while he worked as a bodyguard, assistant, and occasional test subject. When the wizard's lair was one day raided by a band of adventurers and his master slain, Bright Eyes made his escape, unable to defeat the entire group himself.

### Criminal Career

Bright Eyes wandered the wilderness until he came upon the camp of the Violet Rose Syndicate. Despite a tense first encounter, he joined the group, and he and the bandit group's leader, Daniel Hart, became close friends. Before long, he'd become Daniel's right hand man.

After Bright Eyes started talking about grander visions for the Syndicate, however, the two began drifting apart. This eventually culminated when a mysterious benefactor offered to sponsor the Syndicate to set up a permanent base of operations in Glitterhaegen. Bright Eyes was eager to accept, seeing the opportunities to grow the Syndicate's capabilities and horizons, but Daniel didn't want to accept anything that looked like it might become a leash.

Unable to reconcile their differences, Bright Eyes and those loyal to him split off from the Violet Rose and accepted the benefactor's offer, becoming the Order of the Purple Lotus. Under Bright Eyes' oversight, and with the help of the benefactor, Elspeth Malatyne, the Purple Lotus became a much more professional and mystically adept organisation than the Violet Rose ever was.

Idir

Idir is the only major city in the Queen's Wood, and acts as the de facto capital of elven society. Because of this degree of population concentration, it is considerably larger than any of the great cities of the Dragon Empire.

Much of the city is built around gigantic, tree-like spires chaotically clustered across the forest, which are covered in illusory messages and advertisements, and interconnected with hundreds or thousands of walkways high above the ground. It is home to many industrial consortia, the largest of which arguably rival the power of the queen herself.

The city is arranged in the shape of a wide ring; at the centre lies a dense copse of forest that acts as a portal to the Court of Stars.

Astral Plane

Artist's impression of a plane beyond sight

The astral plane is a place of pure thought. It's the origin of the elves, and is where their souls return when they die before they eventually reincarnate.

It can be very disorienting for physical beings to inhabit the astral plane due to its lack of physical sensation. You can't see, hear, feel, or smell anything in the astral plane; you can only perceive by psychic impulse.

## Appearances

* Wasteland Empire
* Death on the Rocks
Caer Trenon

Caer Trenon was the leader of a bandit group based in part of the Red Waste that would be subsumed into the giant hellhole known as Deep Anguish.

She and her bandits attacked the party during their travels through Deep Anguish, but were defeated, and Caer captured. There was disagreement within the party about what they should do with her; Alina and Laurie argued that she should be killed for her crimes, while Demeter were in favour of a more merciful approach. During the argument, Dalsa killed Caer with her mana bow while the rest of the party was distracted.

Destiny

A strange thing full of mystery. The devils of Karhozat are pretty keen to get more, that's for certain.

Destiny is the primeval substance of the Astral Plane, and constitutes all thoughts, ideas, dreams, possibilities, and other things of immaterial and metaphysical nature. Destiny is processed naturally and (usually) unconsciously by a person's soul to subtly alter reality in their favour. The stronger someone's soul is, the greater their reality-altering capability. It's theorised by some sages that this is a major contributor to the rise of great heroes and villains throughout history, including so-called Icons, both past and present.

Some powerful people, like the rulers of Karhozat, the Court of Stars, and the Imperial Academy -- and probably others too -- are rumoured to collect and stockpile destiny to effect much greater changes (not that they'd ever admit to such scandalous deeds, of course). The method by which one would store destiny is unknown -- it's not something you can just put in a vat.

[*Note from GM: "To change a single event in the distant past (using destiny) in order to also change a bunch more events cascading from that initial change wouldn't save you any destiny.*

*If you imagine it as a domino thing, the destiny isn't going into the initial push that knocks down the first domino; it's powering the gravity that pulls them all down."*]
