Malakh

**Malakim**, also known as **angels**, are a species of Vanir belonging to the House of Sky and Breath. The singular of Malakim is **Malakh**.

## History

The Malakim were created by the Asteri themselves. The most powerful of the Malakim are the Archangels, who are made governors of areas in Midgard. The Archangels answer only to the Asteri. The Malakim were created to be soldiers for the Asteri. They have no choice but to be in a legion. Hunt says that if he wasn't officially branded as a slave, he would still essentially be one anyway. They have no real say in their lives, even when it comes to who they are intimate with. The Asteri determine when they will produce children and who they will have them with. The Malakim are the most respected and feared of all the species in Midgard, beneath the Asteri.

## Physical Description

The most prominent feature of the Malakim are their feathered wings. Their wings can be a range of different colors and shades; usually black, gray, or white. Only Malakim with the whitest wings, devoid of any color, are chosen to be a part of the Asterian Guard.

## Known Malakin

* Baxian Argos
* Celestina
* Ephraim
* Hunt Athalar
* Isaiah Tiberian
* Jakob
* Justinian Gelos †
* Micah Domitus †
* Naomi Boreas
* Pollux Antonius
* Shahar †
* Sandriel †

## Powers & Abilities

Like all the Vanir, Malakim naturally possess enhanced strength, speed, and regenerative abilities that make them far stronger than humans. But as a result of being created by the Asteri themselves, Malakim are also physically much stronger than other Vanir, even capable of contending with Fae, and are arguably one of the strongest races on Midgard. Through their wings, they are able to fly at high speeds, although not as quick as aerial vehicles such as helicopters and jets.

Malakim - ordinary or Archangel - also possess magic that is related to the sky such as summoning rain, storms, and tornados, that are described as "hideous" and "destructive." For instance Sandriel and Isaiah are able to control and summon wind. Archangels like Micah could summon more destructive winds capable of even burning their victims, while Malakim such as Hunt possess the power to harness lightning, an ability that even other angels consider as unheard of.

Bryce notes that a powerful ordinary angel's power might level a building, while an Archangel's power could destroy an entire metropolis. Though the source of the strength difference between angels and Archangels is currently unknown, there are theories that could pertain to the differences, such as the careful breeding orders of Asteri or the extra power emerging in different bloodlines.

Upon making the Drop, Malakim have the potential to live somewhere between five centuries to a thousand years.
Ithan Holstrom

by elizianna.the.one

**Ithan Holstrom** is a Shifter and was formerly part of the Black Rose Wolf Pack.

## Biography

### Early Life

Ithan was raised by Connor since their parents died. He idolized his elder brother and always listened to him, due to which The Pack of Devils used to call Ithan 'Connor's Shadow'.

### *House of Earth and Blood*

Ithan was a history major and the star of CCU's sunball team. He was rumored to be going pro as soon as Connor gave the nod. The reason he didn't go pro after high school was that the elder brother he idolized so much insisted that his degree came first, sports second.

He was a cocky boy who tried flirting on Bryce so he could try the successful techniques on Nathalie. He relentlessly questioned Bryce about when she'd finally start dating his brother and didn't take 'never' for an answer.

On hearing about Connor and the Pack's murder, Ithan called Bryce, twenty-one times and sent a half-dozen audiomails. The messages started from being sobbing and panicked, then shifted to worry after Bryce didn't respond. After the chats from Bryce's phone were leaked, Ithan sent one last audiomail to her, and the tone was nothing but razor-sharp coldness.

Ithan told Bryce that she was not welcome at the Sailing. He wept as he pushed his brother's remains, and was so distraught that his sunball teammates had to hold him up.

After Connor's death, Ithan dropped out of CCU and quit playing sunball. No one could convince him to return. He'd walked away from the sport and never looked back. Ithan made the Drop and stepped into his brother's shoes by joining the Black Rose Wolf Pack, the pack that replaced The Pack of Devils.

## Personality

Before Connor's death, Ithan was a cocky boy who harmlessly flirted around and basked in the glory of being a sunball star player. After his brother's death he became serious and grew into a honed predator and a gifted warrior. As per Naomi, Ithan is a solid male: fair-minded, smart, and loyal.

## Physical Description

Ithan is tall and muscular with golden-brown hair, tan skin and brown eyes. Ithan's wolf form wears a grey fur, and is the size of a horse.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Shifting**: As a shifter Ithan possesses the ability to transform into a magically enhanced animal form. His animal form is that of a larger than average wolf. In this form, he is stronger, faster and has keener senses than in human form.
* **Shifter Physiology**: Ithan has standard enhanced speed, strength and regenerative abilities because of his Vanir status. He has more acute senses and can heal injuries much faster than a regular human.
* **Slowed Aging/Immortality**: Since Ithan has made the Drop he will age slower.
The Old Square

**The Old Square** is an area located in Crescent City.

## Information

The Old Square is the area where Bryce has chosen to live, as it was the most friendly towards half-breeds, that was partly because the Old Square is one of the poorer regions of the city, but it's also very touristic. Ruhn Danaan also lives near Old Square, on one of the rougher streets, presumably to piss off his father. It's also where Jesiba's Gallery is located. The area is under control of the Oracle.

## Trivia

* The Old Square Gate's insignia is a ruby with a heart inside it. Because of the gate's location, it is often referred to as *The Heart Gate*.
* The White Raven lies in the center of the Old Square.
* The acolyte, who was on duty the night the Horn was stolen from the temple, was found dead near the Old Square.

### House of Sky and Breath

Sathia is visiting Ruhn's House to inform her brother and his friends of Cormac Donnall's arrival in Lunathion and his declaration of making Bryce Quinlan his bride. Even though Tristan, Ruhn and Declan already know of this, Sathia wants to discuss this engagement further. She is thrown out by her brother instead.

She is present at Celestina's and Ephraim's ceremony when Bryce declares her broken-off engagement with Cormac.

## Personality

Ruhn describes Sathia to have the rotten soul of a Reaper, and being a professional snob. She appears to be cold and controlled in her manners.

## Physical Description

Sathia is petite and delicate with silken black hair. Due to the wealth of the family, she dresses immaculate and is seen wearing solid sapphire studs in her pointed ears.

## Trivia

* At one time, Sathia suspected a maid stole her jewelry.
Lunathion

**Lunathion**, otherwise known as **Crescent City**, is a wild and dangerous city. It is located on the continent of Valbara.

## History

Lunathion had been built as a model of the ancient coastal city around the Rhagan Sea, displayed as a near-exact replica that included its sandstone walls, the arid climate, the olive groves and little farms that lined distant hills beyond the city borders to the north, and down to the great temple for a patron goddess. However, the city had been updated by Micah Domitus who viewed it not only as a tribute to the old model, but also as a place for the future to thrive in.

For Lunathion's temple, the city's patron goddess, Luna, was crafted from a single block of marble hewn from the famed Caliprian Quarries by the Melanthos River up north. The temple was the first thing built upon the city's founding five hundred years ago. The location of the city was selected precisely because of the way the Istros River bends through the land in the shape of a crescent. This is why the city is sometimes referred to as Crescent City.

There are seven gates in the city, each set along a ley line running through Lunathion. They had been designed as a quick way for the guards in the districts to speak to each other centuries ago. People merely had to place a hand against the golden disk in the center of the pad and spoke, the wielder's voice would travel to the other Gates, a gem lighting up with the district from which the voice originated. Today the gates are used as a tourist attraction, due to technology such as mobile phones.

Witches' powers are mostly passed through the female line. Their power is inherited, from some ancient source that the witches claimed was named the three-faced goddess. But witches can pop up in non-magical families every now and then. Their gifts are also varied, from seers to warriors to potion-makers, but healers are the most common in Lunathion and work as medwitches. It's possible that all witches possess the natural ability to fly with a broom regardless of their other gifts.

Upon making the Drop, witches have the potential to live around five centuries.

## Trivia

* Medwitches are the in-world equivalent of a doctor.
Central Business District

The **Central Business District**, also known as the **CBD**, is one of the seven districts of Lunathion. It's the main territory of the Malakim.

## Information

The CBD is located in the eastern part of Lunathion, bordered by the Asphodel Meadows, The Meat Market, and the Old Square. The Business District is the center of commerce in Lunathion, and the most developed area. It's filled with skyscrapers and offices, as well as expensive high-rise apartments and exclusive restaurants and clubs.

### Demographics

The CBD is home to the malakim, represented by the Archangel Micah Domitus as both head of the district and Governor of Lunathion. Upon his death, Celestina is appointed Governor. The skies above the CBD are almost always filled with angels. Some other Vanir also make their home in the District. While the exact population of humans in the CBD is unknown, there are at least a few human-owned corporations in the area, such as Redner Industries.

### The Comitium

At the heart of the Central Business District lies the Comitium, a five-towered complex of glass and steel that serves as the headquarters and stronghold for Micah Domitus and those who work for him. The second of the five buildings that make up the Comitium houses the barracks for the 33rd Legion. The Comitium also has luxurious living quarters for any guests of the Governor, including a penthouse ballroom for functions, all watched over by countless surveillance cameras and members of the 33rd. The central tower of the Comitium is known as the Governor's spire, and there are holding cells beneath the ground level.

## Notable Locations

Ephraim

**Ephraim** is an Archangel and the current Governor of Rodinia.

### *House of Sky and Breath*

Ephraim has been chosen by the Asteri to take Sandriel's position as governor of northern Pangera. Additionally, a mating between him and Celestina was arranged, since the Asteri wished for new Archangels to be sired after two of them - Micah Domitus and Sandriel - had been killed.

## Physical Description

Ephraim is described to have black hair, cut close to his head, light brown skin, dark eyes and a toned, powerful body. His wings are blindingly white.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Malakim Physiology:** As an angel, Ephraim has physical abilities and enhanced senses that make him far stronger than both humans and Vanir.
* **Flight**: Through his Malakh wings, he is able to fly. He is presumably also capable of carrying people in his arms while he flies.
* **Immortality:** Having made the Drop, Ephraim is immortal which not only has granted him a far greater lifespan, but has allowed him to live through injuries that not even her accelerated healing would be able to regenerate from.
The White Raven

**The White Raven** is one of the most popular nightclubs in the city. The club is owned by Riso.

## Information

### History

The White Raven was once a temple of pleasure. It has been renovated so now it is a building that is encased in the ruins of the temple. But the dance floor is part of the original temple, with ancient stones of some long-forgotten god’s temple, and the carved stone pillars throughout still stood from that time. To dance inside in The White Raven is to worship that nameless god that was once worshiped at the temple, who is hinted at in the age-worn carvings of satyrs and fauns drinking and dancing and having sex amid grapevines. All show what it had once been when it was a temple.

### House of Earth and Blood

The White Raven was blown up during the events of House of Earth and Blood by Micah, while Bryce and Hunt were inside, after Philip Briggs had tried to blow it up in the past. Bryce also did a business transaction there for Jesiba Roga.
The Meat Market

**The Meat Market** is an area located in the southwest of Crescent City. It is currently under the control of The Viper Queen.

## History

The Meat Market is a labyrinth of secret interconnected warehouses that make up the blocks of the district. The Meat Market is linked to the Western Road which is one of the four main roads leading to and from Lunathion.

The Meat Market has its own laws and methods of enforcement. Even the Governor has no stationed legionaries in the district. It's an incredibly dangerous and lethal place. There are predators, both born and trained, who use the Meat Market as their personal hunting grounds. Half-human females scape a living in the Meat Market by selling their bodies. Most of these women do not live long enough to make the Drop.

The Meat Market also has the Merchants' Gate in it, which is one of the seven Gates in the city. The Gates had been designed for a quick way for the guards in the districts to speak to each other centuries ago. All Vanirs had to place a hand against the golden disk in the center of the pad and speak, and the wielder's voice would travel to the other Gates, a gem lighting up with the district from which the voice originated. Today the Gates are used as a tourist attraction, due to technology such as mobile phones.
Tristan Flynn

Lord **Tristan Flynn**, more commonly know as **Flynn**, is friends with Ruhn Danaan and Declan Emmet.

## Physical Description

Flynn has golden-brown skin, chestnut brown hair, and green eyes. He is said to be the spitting image of his father.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Fae Physiology**: As one of the Fae, Flynn has enhanced senses and physical abilities, including a sense of smell much stronger than that of humans. He also heals from injuries much faster than a regular human.
* **Earth Magic:** Flynn appears to have some form of earth magic that Ruhn states is "rare among the fire-prone Valbaran Fae." It may be specific to plants like manipulating vines to use as weapons.

## Relationships

### Ruhn Danaan

Tristan and Ruhn live together and are often throwing parties, getting drunk and high. They work together at the Aux and went through their Ordeal together.

### Declan Emmet

### Bryce Quinlan

Anchor

An **Anchor** is an essential part of the ritual of the Drop.

## General Information

The Anchor is a beacon, a lifeline, a bungee cord that will snap their companion back up to life once they leap off the runway. To make the Drop alone is to die — to reach the bottom of one’s power, to have one’s heart stop beating upon hitting that nadir. No one knows if the soul continues living down there, lost forever, or if it dies along with the body left in life. This is why Anchors are usually family — parents or siblings — or trusted friends. Someone who won't leave you stranded. Or a government employee who has a legal obligation not to do so. Some claim those six minutes are called the Search — that during that time, you faced the very depths of your soul. But beyond that, there was no hope of survival.
Auxiliary

The **Auxiliary**, known as **the Aux** for short, are the law enforcement group in Lunathion.

## Information

Vanir

**Vanir** is the term for supernatural beings in Midgard. They are divided into different Houses depending on the corresponding species.

## History

The first Vanir came through the Northern Rift, which allowed them to become inhabitants of Midgard. This meant that the humans, who were the original inhabitants, ended up spending fifteen thousand years being in a state of near-slavery; prey, food, and whores to the Vanir.

The Fae could last a thousand years, the shifters and witches usually five centuries, and the Malakim somewhere in between.

## Trivia

* In Norse mythology, gods and goddesses usually belong to one of two tribes: the Aesir and the Vanir. Throughout most of the Norse tales, deities from the two tribes get along fairly easily, and it’s hard to pin down firm distinctions between the two groups. But there was a time when that wasn’t the case.

Syrinx

Syrinx by ArtJack

**Syrinx** is a chimera belonging to Bryce Quinlan.

## Personality

Syrinx is very affectionate with people whom he trusts and cares for, but is not afraid to be vicious if he believes someone is a threat to him or someone he cares about, such as Bryce; he was initially skeptical of Hunt when he first started working with Bryce but eventually came around and trusted him.

## Powers & Abilities

According to Hunt, Syrinx had the power to pick locks and teleport from one place to another, which he found amusing due to the fact that Bryce put him in a crate at night that she had no idea he could easily escape from and return to without her knowing. According to Lehabah, he is able to talk as well, or at least communicate in some way, but this was never shown in the series.

## Trivia

* Syrinx's freedom was bought by Bryce Quinlan for 233,000 gold marks when she found out Jesiba Roga planned to sell him to a violent warlord from the Farkaan mountains.
Human

**Humans** are a species of non-Vanir belonging to the House of Earth and Blood.

Humans were the original inhabitants of Midgard. The world was home to them and their gods. When the Asteri and Vanir arrived in Midgard, humanity was reduced to a state of near-slavery. They became prey, food, and whores. But in recent centuries the Imperial Senate has granted humans more rights, with the Asteri's approval of course. Humans understandably fear those with Vanir gifts. The ruins of the ancient humans' civilization is buried deep beneath the sea.

Bronson

**Bronson** was a Wolf shifter and part of the Pack of Devils.

## Biography

### House of Earth and Blood

Micah Domitus hatched a plan to get revenge on Danika and try and find the Horn. He waited until Philip Briggs, a human rebel, was released from prison, so he could frame him for the pack's deaths. He went to Danika and Bryce's apartment where the Pack of Devils and Bronson were at the time and used his Magic to disable them. He then injected Danika with Synth, which caused Danika to rip her pack apart before turning on herself. Micah then summoned a Kristallos demon to cover his traces.

Philip Briggs was then accused of their murders due to him being imprisoned by Danika previously, leading the authorities to believe he did it for revenge. However, Micah near the end of House of Earth and Blood admitted to Bryce that he was the one to kill Bronson and the pack.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Shifting**: As a shifter, Bronson possessed the ability to transform into a magically enhanced animal form. His animal form was that of a larger than average wolf. In this form, he was stronger, faster and had keener senses than in human form.
* **Shifter Physiology**: Bronson had standard enhanced speed, strength and regenerative abilities because of his Vanir status. He had more acute senses and could heal injuries much faster than a regular human.

## Trivia

* His movie taste skewed more toward art house flicks and documentaries. Unsurprisingly, he was never allowed to select the entertainment for Pack Night.

The house itself is big enough to have four bedrooms, one for each of the inhabitants. After Ithan frees the fire sprites enslaved to The Astronomer, they stay in Ruhn's house as well.

## Trivia

Before being appointed to the role of governor of Lunathion, she was governor of Nena, a territory with a population of around fifty. She only has one legion under her command, and no triarii. Her legion acts as watchdogs for the Northern Rift and is controlled by the Asteri. Celestina served as merely a figurehead.

## Personality

Celestina is described to be polite, elegant and friendly. She is unusually nice for an Archangel.

## Physical Description

Celestina has skin as dark as onyx, light brown eyes, tightly curling black hair, and gleaming white wings. She is described as voluptuous and full-bodied. She often wears silver jewelry at her wrists and neck.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Malakim Physiology:** As an angel, Celestina has physical abilities and enhanced senses that make her far stronger than both humans and Vanir.
* **Flight**: Through her Malakh wings, she is able to fly. She is also capable of carrying people in her arms while she flies.
* **Immortality:** Having made the Drop, Celestina is immortal which not only has granted her a far greater lifespan, but has allowed her to live through injuries that not even her accelerated healing would be able to regenerate from.

## Relationships

### Ephraim

The Asteri have declared that she is to mate with Ephraim. She is not romantically attracted to him, but does consider him a friend.

### Hypaxia Enador

Hypaxia and Celestina have a secret love affair. Because of their social status and their respective engagements they are keeping their relationship quiet.

### Shahar

Celestina had a close relationship with Shahar, the Daystar, leader of the Angel Rebellion which Hunt fought for. She claims they had a close friendship and because of this, after Hunt was enslaved after the rebellion failed, she attempted to gather the funds necessary to buy him, but was denied to do so by the Asteri.

by witchlingsart

The **Unnamed Wolf Mystic** is a Wolf Shifter and the lost Fendyr heir, able to challenge Sabine Fendyr for her position.

## Biography

### Early Life

Not much is known about the wolf's early life. Her parents had no pack and roamed the tundra of Nena with her and her ten siblings.

At some point, some official came by to mark her Drop, though she is unable to recall how long it was ago or how old she was by that time.

## Physical Description

The unnamed wolf has a thin body, long chestnut-brown hair and pale skin - the latter presumably caused due to her being submerged in a tank. Ithan describes her to have a face that might have been pretty, if it weren't so gaunt and haunted.

### *House of Earth and Blood*

Set in a world where humans struggle to survive amid intricate hierarchies of demons, shifters, angels, and countless other magical creatures, *House of Earth and Blood* tells the story of half-human, half-Fae Bryce Quinlan. After the brutal slaying of her best friend, Bryce joins forces with a powerful warrior-angel to hunt down the killer, leading them toward a treacherous enemy that could destroy the fabric of their world.

### *House of Sky and Breath*

Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar are trying to get back to normal―they may have saved Crescent City, but with so much upheaval in their lives lately, they mostly want a chance to relax. Slow down. Figure out what the future holds. The Asteri have kept their word so far, leaving Bryce and Hunt alone. But with the rebels chipping away at the Asteri’s power, the threat the rulers pose is growing. As Bryce, Hunt, and their friends get pulled into the rebels’ plans, the choice becomes clear: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight for what’s right. And they’ve never been very good at staying silent.

### *House of Flame and Shadow*

Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate.

Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate.
