Nimlond

## History

Nimlond is a port founded in the 2nd Century T.A. by Telerin elves. After the elves left, this city was ruled by a line of half-elves. When the Black Numenoreans attacked Tolfalas and fled to mainland Gondor, this was one of the major ports receiving these refugees. Today it remains as a anti-pirate port, due to its close proximity to Tolfalas.

## Major Features

Nimlond lies on a hill rising from the coast of Dor-en-Ernil. The seaward promontory of this hill houses the tower of Nimlond, easily visible from the harbour.

## Notable Items From Nimlond

One of the notable items from Nimlond are the Dol Amroth Birch Longships. They make up the majority of the Nimlond militia.

Auniq

**Auniq** is a walled town within the Mark of the Erasure where the snow elves reside.

The word "Auniq" means "strange bedfellows."

## History

Auniq is a fortified village in the frozen wastelands surrounding the Mark of the Erasure, though its existence predates the snowy climate. Founded by elves and goblins, the former group drove out the latter. Stricken by increasingly short lifespans, the elf leaders of Auniq began performing disturbing experiments and autopsies on younger elves who were not aging in the same way as their elders, leading some such as Throndir and Mitta Parr to go into exile rather than go under the knife.
Fela Malle

**Fela Malle** is Ordenna's top military leader, the general in charge of the Ordennan Impetus. During the investigation of the possible death of Gilbert Lutz, he is off the shores of Rosemerrow aboard the *Sapphire Song*. Following Ordenna's invasion of Marielda, he has risen to an even higher position.

The **Eventide Party**, also known as the **Original Party**, is the group of adventurers sent to investigate Eventide Island in *Friends at the Table*'s first quest, spanning from episode 1 to 4 of *Autumn in Hieron*.

## Adventure

### Prelude

A joint operation between Ordenna, Velas (the latter initially referred to as The Burg) and the New Archives puts together the group to investigate a strange tower on the Isle of Eventide, an island in the craggy, wet Isles of Dusk located between Ordenna and Velas which seems to be the origin of turbulent ocean activity as of late.

Drawn to the possibility of occult mysteries in a strange tower, The Great Fantasmo is drawn to the mission, but is only granted the unpaid title of Chief Consultant, under the Expedition Leader, Captain Calhoun.

A few days before the expedition, their ship and supplies are stolen by the pirate Captain Brandish, but Hella leads the group to retrieve the ship, on their first adventure together. As they return to Velas, Fero is approached by a large lizard from the isles who warns him of danger and allows him to study its essence.

Canopy Row

**Canopy Row**, also called **The Canopy**, is a neighborhood in southwestern Marielda.

## History

### The Quiet Year

Canopy Row was historically a slum due to its proximity to the unsettling Western Wood, but it was Canopy Row's houses which held up best during the seismic activity when Samothes pulled Marielda away from the continent.

The community's name gained a double meaning after the community built a large net to shield their roofs from the rocks filled with fresh fish that Samothes launched onto the city weekly.

### Later history

In the time after the Quiet Year, most of Canopy Row became officially known as Orchid Parish, though some of the worst sections of the neighborhood became part of Helianthus Parish.

## Origin

The name of the neighborhood is in part an allusion to John Steinbeck's *Cannery Row*.

Exarch Braeven

## Braeven

**Exarch Braeven** is one of the southern exarchs of the Creed of Samothes. Like the members of the Forest Party, she is a person from stratum zero who has traveled underground to the Buoy.

## Appearance

Days of the week

> *"Sunday" redirects here. For the annual holiday, see High Sun Day.*
>
>

In Hieron, as in many real-world societies, time is frequently measured in terms of a seven-day week. These names are based on religious and cultural traditions.

## Days

### Sunday

**Sunday**, named in honor of the sun, is the first day of the week, and the only day to share a name with its English equivalent.

### Tesday

**Tesday** (prounounced tease-day), is named after Samotes, an archaic name of the god Samothes.

### Tineday

**Tineday** is named after the god Samaantine, also known as Samotine.

### Ontday

**Ontday** is named after the god Samonta.

### Oteday

**Oteday** is named after Samote, an archaic name of the god Samot.

### Kinday

**Kinday** is named in honor of the world's two moons, Del and Bri. Alternatively or additionally, the name may refer to a weekly tradition in which clans would execute rulebreakers and choose who would count as their kin for the coming week.

## Application

At the end of the year, on High Sun Day, the calendar resets, and no matter what day it fell on, that day becomes the new Sunday, with the rest of the week following suit.

It is not yet clear whether these days of the week continue to be in use during the extended eclipse from *Winter in Hieron*, during which there is a 36-hour cycle with varying degrees of darkness.

Blessed by the Far Sea

## Relationships

### Affiliation(s)

The Royal Line of the Empire of PearlsNacre

### Relations

Tristero (father)Angelo Tristé (brother)

Hella Varal (knight)

## Meta Info

### Season

*Autumn in Hieron**Winter in Hieron*

**Adelaide Tristé IV** was an empress in the line of Tristero and is now the goddess of death.

## Appearance

Adelaide is a tall, beautiful brown-skinned woman with round features. Her hair is in a braided updo that forms a crownlike shape around her head. She has a compelling gaze.

When first seen, she wears a unique dress that seems to move and to change its oceanic coloring in the light.

She is also seen wearing a casual outfit of black pants and a white and silver shirt with buttons that go diagonally across its high collar and down its chest.

## History

Adelaide, like her father Tristero before her, dreamt of a world without death, and put her plan into action as Ordenna sacked Nacre.

Upon being killed by Hella with her sword, Adelaide took over for her brother Angelo as the god of death within Nacre. She now rules over her domain from the second-to-last strata.

Hella took Adelaide with her to Aubade, which caused her to rethink some of her views. She is now creating a genuine afterlife for the dead.

### 'Curse' of Nacre

Because of the magic of the city, anyone who has spent a night in Nacre brings the city wherever they go, meaning that the movements of Ordennan soldiers, the Boat Party, and refugees from Nacre spread her dominion across northeastern Hieron.

### Death

Adelaide holds the right of decision over whether to let people slip into the Nothing and experience 'true death' if they are killed in her domain, although those killed with Ordennan steel are beyond her reach. Because of her beliefs about death, before her time in Aubade, people who died within her empire would generally come back undead unless she had a reason to prefer them otherwise.

When Throndir was killed by the wizard Arrell in "Is There Anyone Else?" he met with Adelaide, who offered him the choice to either die completely or come back fully alive, in return for doing her an unspecified favor later. However, Throndir instead took a competing offer, coming back as a vampire of the Golden Lance, a form of undeath different from the one she grants her subjects.

Adelaide temporarily lost her control over death when she entered Aubade. Those who died during this 8-year span were lost to the Nothing forever. Now that she has returned, people who die will be taken to her afterlife in order to rest and prepare before moving on.

## Alonzo Victor Devaraux van der Dawes

*Man-at-arms*

When Lem ran into Devar in Rosemerrow, he was wearing round eyeglasses with sunglasses on top of them that could be flipped up and a brightly-painted pre-Erasure shirt, possibly an artifact of the Black Slacks stolen from the Archives.

## Personality

Devar has a loose but cautious demeanor and makes very good tea. His research focuses on novels, and he would like to write one of his own, serialized in *The Rosemerrow Current*.

He is bad at naming horses.

Autumn in Hieron 02: You Found Out What Was Magical

## "You Found Out What Was Magical"

*"The party finally enters the mysterious tower on Eventide Island. Ali peeks through, hides behind, and struggles to open various doors. Jack and Art play a game of telephone with a very busy chef. Nick deals with lots of books. Austin wonders what knives think about."*

 Plot

After confirming that the skeleton is destroyed, the party leaves the house on Eventide Island and proceeds to the tower. There is a smaller building connected to the tower whose entrance is sealed with a heavy stone sheet, but Hella’s attempt to lift the sheet fails.

Inside the tower, they see an entry hall, once grand but now dilapidated. Lem reasons that, given his past experience with towers, the source of the problem is likely to be atop the tower or deep under it. The party begins to ascend the tower, with Fero transforming into a hummingbird to scout ahead. On a landing, they find the remnants of a huge mural depicting the tower. After realizing that the mural was painted with the same magical paints used in the skeleton’s house, the party surmises that the skeleton had been charged with caring for the mural but had shirked his duty and chosen to paint his wife and garden instead.

On the next level, the party finds a large, bright banquet hall with no tables and hundreds of place settings laid out on the floor. The “food” being served consists of ordinary objects, like furniture or flowers or silverware, chopped up and presented as food. In an adjacent room, the kitchen is full of kitchen implements, “cooking” the objects. Using a “voice that transcends language” granted to him as a boon for this quest, Hadrian converses with a chef hat, who is polite and offers them food, but does not have any helpful information. With Hadrian as a translator, the party learns that the enchanted kitchen implements are compelled to prepare meals, even with nobody to eat them. When asked what is in the sealed room on the bottom level of the tower, the chef hat responds ominously “they don’t eat”.

Proceeding to the next floor, the party hears the sound of a waltz rhythm. They enter a library full of enchanted books, floating together to form the shapes of people. When the group disturbs the quiet of the library, the books attack. Hadrian parleys with the book people and the books agree to let them pass as long as they are quiet. In return they require Fantasmo to relinquish the books he is carrying, which join the enchanted books. As the party ascends to the next floor, the books resume their waltz.

On the next floor is a hallway, with doors to the left and right leading to a storeroom and an armory. Directly ahead is an ornate bedroom, with a mural like the one on the landing just above the ground floor of the tower. Seated on a chair in that bedroom is a figure in black and gold armor. Upon seeing the players, the figure ask asks “What is it?"

Exarch Alyosha

**Exarch Alyosha** is a member of the Creed of Samothes. As an exarch, Alyosha is a high-ranking official in the church but has no permanent parish of his own. He was previously assigned as a missionary in Rosemerrow, but was called to Velas to act as standing leader of the church in the city following Prelate Lucius's death.

## Appearance

Alyosha is a very slight individual in his late thirties, weak-looking with features that are thin but youthful and bright. He has light hair and light eyes.

## Origin

Alyosha's name may be an allusion to a character from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's *The Brothers Karamazov*. In the novel, Alexei (nicknamed Alyosha) is the youngest of the titular brothers, a novice at an Orthodox monastery, whose faith contrasts with his older brother Ivan's atheism.

**Aubade**, or the **Isle Aubade** (also nicknamed **Swordtown** by fans before its name was given in "The Touch of Others") is a city of sorts located inside the Blade in the Dark. A peaceful, relatively happy society, it prospers in relative isolation from Hieron outside, looked over by Samothes, who has become more humble in his time within the blade.

## Geography

Aubade sits upon a volcanic island surrounded by the ocean, with a small atoll in its surroundings. It has a relatively warm, Mediterranean climate. Though there is some degree of variation in Aubade's weather, it does not experience seasons in that sense. However, the tides there work in such a way that 'high tide' and 'low tide' can be considered the two seasons. Dark storms can always be seen off in the distance.

### Neighborhoods/Districts

Aubade can be divided into various neighborhoods and areas that surround the castle of Samothes at the island's center. Many place names refer to early victims of the Blade in the Dark, with whom Samothes founded Aubade.

* New Helianthus (north) - largest residential district, home to Thackeray Court (named for Helianthus Parish and Captain Thackeray).
* Cartwright House (northeast) - schools, workshops, small stages, places to try new things (named for Winston Cartwright)
* Fields (southeast) - agriculture, Shrine of Sabinia located in the middle (named for Rector Sabinia)
* Cunningham Street (south) - markets, shops, restaurants (named for Smoulder Cunningham)
* Halisham Docks (southwest) - fishing, industry (named for Garner Halisham)
* San-Becket Theatre (west) - large amphitheater overlooking the sea (named for Bewilder San-Becket)

## Origin

An 'aubade' is a poem or song for the morning, or about lovers parting at dawn.
Chapter

**Chapter** is a Star who landed in Rosemerrow during Winter in Hieron 12: A Chaotic Cataloging. They were killed almost immediately after landing by Hella Varal using the Blade in the Dark. This caused the large gem on the Blade in the Dark to turn from red to white with a drop of red in the middle.

## Winter in Hieron Finale

In Winter in Hieron 28: What Life Looks Like, Chapter is revealed to be living inside the town in the Blade in the Dark, and is seen playing chess with Samothes.
Emberboro

**Emberboro** is a parish in western Marielda lacking official recognition.

 Appearance

Emberboro's architecture is a mix of the unusual, partially-underground stone structures built by cobbins and the cheap, somewhat temporary tents and lean-tos of the refugees who arrived in Marielda during the Quiet Year.

## History

### The Quiet Year

Early in the Quiet Year, the cobbins showed up on the black sand beaches on the newly-formed island's western shore and promptly began building stone structures considered eyesores by the human population. Around the same time, a group of deserters from the armies involved in the massive ongoing war managed to sail disintegrating boats across the burning channel to Marielda and moved into the ruins of a guard tower in the north.

Over time, as the number of refugees in the north grew and the cobbins continued to have tense relations with the other inhabitants of the city, the two groups began working together to construct a more permanent and stable settlement in the northern part of the island (in what would later become Violet Parish), which they named Emberboro.

However, when Samothes unveiled the ability to reconfigure the city, he moved Emberboro to the eastern side of the island along the Golden Zone, bringing what was once a separate settlement into the city and reuniting the cobbins of Emberboro with those living by the beaches on which they were first seen.

### Later history

Though largely its own section of the city, Emberboro is considered part of Helianthus Parish for political reasons. Many of its residents are part of groups such as the Black Slacks or Black Sand Alchemical which organize for civil and labor rights.
Clipper

**Clipper** is a weaver pickpocket who operates in the Red House area. They are so successful at their petty crimes that they have extra money to donate to causes they find interesting.

Emmanuel Aracia La Salle

## Emmanuel La Salle

*Spring in Hieron*

**Emmanuel Aracia La Salle** is a pastry chef from Nacre.

## History

As the cook aboard the *Kingdom Come*, Emmanuel found himself embroiled in the battle between the Boat Party and Captain Brandish's crew. Hopelessly unprepared for battle, he nevertheless formed a bond with Lem King, who later sought him out in Nacre.

During the sacking of the city by the Ordennan Impetus, Emmanuel was trapped inside his bakery by debris. This may have been a blessing in disguise, as he was hidden from an army that likely would have killed him. He later escaped from the city with other refugees and arrived in Rosemerrow, where he began pretending to be a Velasian in order to find work at The Likely Striker in Roseheart. During the investigation of Gilbert Lutz's murder, he reunited with Lem and was briefly deputized by Throndir.

Though Lem asked him to come to the New Archives with the Mountain Party, Emmanuel decided to stay in Rosemerrow and help other refugees from Velas and Nacre as they arrived.

He now resides at the Last University.

Bolster Valentine

**Bolster Valentine** was a powerful mage who arrived in Marielda with the sudden appearance of a school during the Quiet Year.

## History

Marielda's mage tower, which appeared from nowhere, was home to a school led by Bolster and Charter Castille. It was during Bolster's time in the city that he wrote *Mortal Liminality: On the Space Between Life and Death*.

Bolster was eventually killed when pala-din doused him in lava water. His ghost returned fifteen years later when summoned into the physical realm by Castille, who did not remember their past partnership. After he began assaulting her, blaming her for his death, she trapped him in a spirit bottle. Bolster was later released from the bottle while in the basement of Memoriam College, and continued his attack of her. However, following a blast from Sige's magic gun and a punch from the fist of a ghostly Castille, Bolster's ghost was destroyed by Maelgwyn.

Arrell

**Arrell** is a scholar and mage living in Rosemerrow's Wistful Peaks.

His correspondence with Exarch Alyosha forms the episode descriptions for episodes 1 through 10 of Winter in Hieron.

## Appearance

Arrell is a square-jawed man with slick black hair who wears mage's robes and carries a staff.

## History and studies

Through investigating Arrell's apartment in Wistful Peaks, Hadrian, Throndir, and Ephrim discover that Arrell was a mage trained at The Last University. Although he was not particularly talented in practical magic or theory, his skills as a teacher and communicator allowed him to become an accredited mage and a professor at the university, thus becoming Tutor Arrell.
His status at The Last University gave him access to otherwise forbidden books, wherein he learned about The Heat and the Dark. Knowledge of the Heat and the Dark drove Arrell to abandon his position at the university, and dedicated himself to trying to combat The Heat and the Dark instead. He formulated a method to whisk individuals away to an alternate space he called The Study, a solitary heaven within their own minds where they would have an infinite amount of time to contemplate The Heat and the Dark, in the hopes that someone would be able to use that time to discover a solution. A list of people Arrell plans on whisking away is found within his apartment.
In abandoning his position as a teacher, Arrell gave up the name Tutor, and took up the title of wizard to distinguish himself from the mages. To facilitate his plans (such as stealing the Book of Life) without his identity being discovered by the Cult of the Dark Sun, Arrell "took a step back" from this physical plane of existence to become invisible, and "cuts out part of his story and gives it flesh," thus creating The Great Fantasmo, while Arrell himself acts as Fantasmo's invisible servant.
Arrell considers Samot a possible ally against the Cult of the Dark Sun, and began to suddenly consider Samot a close friend in his correspondence, most likely in response to Fantasmo's botched Charm spell during "Why Are You Here, Again?".

Galenica

*Winter in Hieron*

**Galenica**, also known as **Samaantine**, is a deity associated with armor, shielding, and protection.

## Appearance

> *"Each step is heavy with dominance, they own this entire space, it’s overwhelming. No one else here has that power. You also feel safe when you see them."*
>
>

> *- Austin, "The Killing of the King-God Samothes By The Traitor Prince Maelgwyn"*
>
>

Their appearance is crystalline, with a body like galena and eyes like sunset opals.

## Origin

Galenica was created as a manifestation of the will of the people of Eastern Hieron. For a long time they protected the eastern shores from the powerful waves which eroded them. They are the only deity in the Samtheon who was not created as the result of a divine impulse.

They eventually left behind the coast in order to join Severea on the Grand Tour.

Fester Finlay

**Fester Finlay** was a necromancer in the Disciples of Samot.

## Personality

Though Fester didn't have any ambitions to become the lord of undeath or anything, he was still sort of a weird dude who had to be cool spending a lot of time working with dead bodies. Bolster Valentine acknowledged him in the foreword to *Mortal Liminality: On the Space Between Life and Death*.
