Ward

**"Warding,"** is the state of enchantment being able to surround the entire body. One who is able to achieve this is typically called a ward, but many wards also separate themselves into segregated factions. Without proper inner stability, a vairy in warded form can become lost and therefor hostile. Vaporaals are unable to become wards as well. Warding is a lifelong practice, and those who do not begin honing their power at a young age will most likely be unable to ever achieve the ability in adulthood. As stated before, warding takes immense inner stability which can be balanced with meditation.

Examples of wards include the royal guards of East Guild, who are taught to hone their power from a young age, as well as many feral vairy across the land who have let loose control of themselves, and are very hostile.

Anja Kaczmarek is a character in Known Unknowns.

## Relationships

### Nadia Nazari

Anja and Nadia start out as enemies. Anja is mean to Nadia because she's defending Summer. She thinks that Nadia stopped talking to Summer out of homophobia, so she wants to keep Nadia away from Summer. She never explains to Nadia why she's being mean, so Nadia doesn't understand why Anja treats her that way and thinks she's being unreasonable.

Once Anja discovers that Nadia only stopped talking to Summer because Allen manipulated her, she becomes much nicer and supports Nadia through her difficult coming-out. Anja even lets Nadia watch an episode of Passiondale with her, even though it's her favorite TV show and watching it is a special, personal thing. They bond and open up to each other while watching the show, culminating in a kiss. After that, they start dating, and Anja joins in on Nadia and Kaz's ghost-hunting.

### Kaz Kaczmarek

Anja and Kaz get along well, despite their very different personalities. Their social lives don't have much overlap: Kaz and Nadia are best friends, even while Anja and Nadia are fighting, and Anja and Summer are friends, but Kaz barely talks to Summer.
Commorance

**"A commorance,"** or "commorancy" refers to the royal denizens of a city who are seen as celebratory figures rather than political influencers. This was such with the city of East Guild, as it was built with the idea of a democracy and didn't support the view of royals in positions of political power.
Elvaria

"*Raesh culo es danst... (this land is ours)"*

*—* Unknown proverb

**"Elvaria,"** is a united collection of kingdoms, the countries they govern, and the ancient homeland of all Elvairy. It is connected to Anthra, close to Kytos as well being connected to the largely unknown icelands known as Rime. It is in the location of modern day China.

Ancient vairy, after the Great Reset, first moved into Elvaria and settled as hunter gatherers. They eventually migrated north over many years and created East Guild, where they would stay until pushing west into what would become Anthra. However there, they encountered the manset for the first time. With spices the vairy wanted, the manset demanded farming settlements into Elvaria in return. Though agreeing at first, the peace did not last long. An unjust slaughter of many innocent farmers by a restless vairy warlord, for which the primitive vairy government unsuccessfully tried to hide, left the manset angry and resentful. They reacted violently to this, burning down peaceful towns in an effort far more gruesome than the actions that created their resentment. The divided piece of land, later becoming known as the Fordlands, then became a massive battleground, transforming from the wars to claim it, for which the vairy artificially created the blossomer and vaporaal genes. The manset, however, were able to create gunpowder and pushed the five kingdoms of Elvaria back to their homeland permanently. Losing this central piece of their province created an insecurity in the vairy, now el, and only deepened the already long bitter rivalry between the two species. However, Elvaria and Anthra eventually were able to make a frail declaration of peace between their two species, and the land became more of a symbol of apathy
Ma'arch

**"Ma'archy,"** is the most powerful form of enchantment. It allows for the manipulation or creation of any form of matter and control of time. As such, those who possess this are all of the six charms combined. A ma'arch itself has not been seen for thousands of years. Henceforth, not much is known about them or if and when one will come about again. There is a prophecy that states the ma'archs we're created as messengers of Empyrean and that they will return after an apocalypse to rebuild. Ma'archs do not draw their power from Empyrean however, but from the Construct, an all powerful obelisk located within the Sanctuary.
Sub-Man

*"When Empyrean came into being, it split a part from itself. What was created was known as Ral, the purveyor of chaos. The sub-men are Ral's messengers."*

*—* Excerpt from the book of Sel

**"Sub-Man,"** is a species of demonic man-animal hybrids who live below Sel. They are said to be deliverers to the anarchist god Ral. The manset have an ancient history with keeping them from ever reaching the surface world.
Discography/Pictures

Matt Farley has released over 425 albums (though many have 50-99 tracks in length and would be double or triple albums by a normal artist) by over eighty different acts since 2004.  The below discography compiles all of Farley's albums whether solo or with others, and from both novelty and No Jokes genres, from all of his bands and artists.

As of August 2021, there 414 Motern Media albums on this discography. We believe this is accurate. Farley's own numbering system counts four less albums. E.g., on July 4, 2021 he tweeted that the Kansas album by The Guy Who Sings Songs About Cities and Towns was his 406th album, and we have it listed as his 410th. However, our list includes four albums that were released and later withdrawn, so this would seem to be a match.

Teller

**"Tellers,"** are a small tortoise species that live throughout terrafirma. Their name derives from tales of their telling of events of old. Whether or not they can actually speak is, of course, only a frequent myth, as it said they only speak to the gnets, miniature humanoids that live on their backs.
Void Helmet

**"Void helmets,"** are rare pieces of apparel placed on the head to remove one's power. Before the War of Enchantment, they were used for public shaming, and/or transporting criminals. The source of how they are able to alter the wearer's genetics was unknown to all but Falheart, their creator, whose secret died within himself.
Sophiare Larexen

Euphrates Larexen - Son

Esmerelda Larexen - Daughter

Ononoch - Father

**"Sophiare Larexen,"** was queen to the newly created Larexen monarch and the mother of Esmerelda, Euphrates, and Pernicious. She was as well feywed to King Reginald. She was a kind, gentle woman, but began to become embittered in her arranged marriage to Reginald. This was unable to grow any further, however, as she became infected with a disease, and died from complications. Her death later on in Perncious' teenage life allowed him to be protected from the great preternance of the world he lived in. However, her death allowed the silent resentment between he and his father to grow to hatred once Perncious learned of the reason for his father's dislike of him.
Liason

**"Liason,"** refers to a sub-manset race who lived along the plains of the Corathean forest. Large and sasquatch in appearance, the liaisons were ape-like, covered in fur, and lived in tribes. Their worship belonged to the panthera, to whomst they would sacrifice felini. Georgina Merriweather became the leader of the Corahnu, their largest and fiercest tribe, for a small time. Unfortunately, most of the liasons were wiped out after an attack from the The Liberating Ten.
Manvay

**"Manvay,"** are a cross-species between manset and elvairy. Renown for their mythical status, they are worshiped by some to be the the ones to bring "peace." Adam Harbinger is the only Manvay to have been created in thousands of years. Based on the latter's appearance, they take on a mix of human and vairy traits.
Ashman Castle

*"When these men were sleeping, it was as if an entire city and it's people came out of seemingly nothing. Everyone noted how the features of those living there were like something they had never seen before. But with time, hundreds of years faded the mysterious beings into obscurity, and their home now lies dormant."*

*—* Callahan to Adam

**"Ashman Castle,"** is an abandoned structure located in Ireland. It is where Callahan Harbringer first used the book of Sel to transport to Elvaria. The events of how Ashman came to Earth is uncertain. Primary speculation is that it was transported in it's entirety from one place in time to another by someone, possibly a ma'arch, albeit intentionally or unintentionally. The reasoning behind this being that East Guild is believed to sit close to where the Ashman once stood before it disappeared. It is unknown, but debated whether the Ashman is in a time displacement, or exists within a separate reality.

## History

Unsuspecting commoners presumably camping for the night were shocked upon their wake one morning as a large amount of their camp had simply disappeared. Stood in front of them was simply a field where the part of the camp had been. However, as they walked toward it they passed through a boundary, and in the place of the rest of the camp rested an enormous castle structure. Sometime later they made contact with it's people, a strange, otherworldly race called the elvairy. The elvairy themselves attempted to converse with the people and told them that they had seemingly come from out of nowhere to them but didn't know how this was possible. Humans, however, soon lost the location of the castle after something had destroyed them, possibly a flood, and it's whereabouts remained searched for but unknown for years. However, texts still remained inside detailing trace amounts of long lost history. Strangely, Ashman castle has indeed disappeared in Elvaria, but goes on in it's own bubble of time, almost like it is a separate timeline of Elvaria where the castle never disappeared and the denizens go on like nothing happened. It is unnoticeable from the outside and from the inside looking out past the boundary there is a place in time that cannot be traveled to as one will simply come back to Earth. Adam Harbinger, one of the first to discover the castle, noted that he saw it destroyed, possibly by a great fire and it looked as if it had been abandoned. He noted that out past the boundary he could see a distant town but could never travel to it. Callahan, his brother, however, stated that the castle he had seen was full of life and that he had lived in it for many years before accidentally transporting himself forward in time. It is entirely possible that the inhabitants were indeed subjected to a great fire that destroyed the castle and simply moved on from it in their exclusive timeline.
Chulu

**"The Chulu,"** is a limit for which vaporaals can safely use their power before damage becomes permanent. Pushing past the chulu enough can begin to make someone, effectively, undead, and they will become trapped in their own bodies by being effectively dead to the outside world, unable to move, but still conscious. This will lead to their inevitable deaths through malnourishment, effectively aeternumizing in the process.
Gina's Rebellion

Sapheliant Merriweather

Esmerelda Larexen

Adam Arran

Callahan Harbringer

Millicent

**"Gina's Rebellion,"** was a gathering of those who wished to bring an end to Pernicious Larexen's tyranny. They took shelter in the black caverns for years, secretly sending teams out to push back against reinforcements. The rebellion consisted of many different peoples, including manset, suids, lungari, malicari, and obliviants.
The Decimate

Euphrates Larexen

Vix Fourspire

Sophiare Larexen

Nysali Merriweather

Percival (possibly)

Millions of others

"**The Decimate,"** is a place all vairy go upon their demise, and or, becoming in aeternum. It was created by Empyrean and was made so that all inhabitant's souls would live in a state of everlasting tranquility. However the Decimate has been attacked by Ral multiple times, seeking to thwart it's peace unto chaos. Opposite to the Reverie, outwardly, it is a dark and desolate place with the inhabitants seeming very ghost like as they go about their lives, however, they live in happiness regardless.

Manset who are resurrected to life by Vaporaals, such as Georgina Merriweather, describe their experiences with the Decimate. However, because they are unable to interact with the inhabitants of this place for long, they see it as hellish, and have misinterpreted it, thus giving it it's name. Unknown to the elvairy, this is also proof that the manset do not simply cease to exist after death. Due to the interaction of a vaporaal resurrecting a manset being so uncommon, the stories are not taken seriously, seen as nothing more than myth, and are dismissed by the elvairy.
Logan Crafts

**Logan "Crafts" Dinowitz** is a character in Birdland. He is a camp counsellor, specifically the Arts and Crafts instructor.

## Personality

Logan would rather philosophize about art or nap, than actually do or teach art. He leaves the campers to their own devices, for example when Liz is struggling with the pottery wheel, he tells her to work it out for herself. He often wonders "what is art," and is not as talkative as the other counsellors.

He often leaves the campers alone for long periods of time for "official camp business," implied to be him actually sneaking away to smoke weed.

## Character Biography

He is the last counsellor to be taken over by the birds, on July 19. This signals the birds' complete takeover of the camp except for Bridget and Bell.

He loses the arts and crafts competition in the Summer Camp Olympics. While Bridget is making something, Logan realizes that he doesn't actually understand what art is. The other counselors tell him that art isn't about the conscious mind and that he should use his instincts, but it turns out that his instincts are to get out some weed and roll a joint. He doesn't finish anything and Bridget does, so she wins.
The Royal Military

**"The Royal Military,"** were different factions serving under the king's duty. These included the royal guard, the grand fleet, border patrol, city guard, and the army. However, the military was later rebranded as **The Armada** in it's service under Pernicious Larexen and Vesuvius Holistere. Slowly but surely, all elvairy who once existed in the ranks were replaced by obliviants, suids, men, and berae.
Rae Staff

**"Rae staffs,"** are individual artifacts said to grant the wielder their six corresponding enchantments. The staffs, light in weight, can be used by anyone to alter the user's biological makeup once wielding them. Obliviants are known throughout history controversially to have searched for these ancient items. Vesuvius Holistere and Lord Solguile, however, are the only known people to have ever wielded the staffs in thousands of years. Their current whereabouts are unknown as they were hidden in secret locations around Faun after Solguile's death.
Reginald Larexen

Euphrates Larexen - Son

Esmerelda Larexen - Daughter

Valluin Fourspire - Adopted Father

Jilrae - Adopted Mother

*"In all conflict, your kind has turned on both sides. That is why we despise godless traitors. That is why we despise obliviants. You are nothing but vile people, akin only to selfish needs, never finding a place. It was the will of your so called grandmother, and it is the will of you, Pernicious."*

*—* Reginald to Pernicious

**"King Reginald Larexen,"** was king of the Larexen monarch alongside his wife Sophiare. Reginald was known for his outspoken dismissal of obliviants. This caused a divide between him his eldest son Pernicious. He then took part in staging the riot that which ended in the death of his second-born Euphrates.

## Early Life

An orphan on the street, he was befriended and eventually taken in by Jilrae. She treated him as the son she could never have for many years and eventually found love in the crown prince of East Guild, Valluin. However, Reginald began to become jealous after she began seeing him more often, most likely believing her to want to abandon him. However, a terrorist group began manipulating Reginald's jealousy. As the group began spreading lies about Jilrae due to her lowborn status, Reginald did not believe them. He began to want to return to her but was eventually convinced that Valluin was a pretender to the throne. He then rejected his mother's behest, claiming as long as she loved a pretender, that he might as well be dead to her. Reginald walked away from his mother while she ran without choice to find Valluin. With little hope left but their love, Jilrae ascended into aeternum with Valluin, never allowing Reginald to mend the decision he had made. This only pushed him further into despising her and all obliviants for seemingly abandoning him.

## The Bridge Between Worlds

Reginald has become king by the time of The Bridge Between Worlds and has had three children. His eldest, however, was born an obliviant. As such he pays little love to him. After his son begins questioning him on this, it brings back his feelings of anger and fear of abandonment. He does not believe obliviants deserve to live and sets up a protest to go horribly wrong to show this. The one thing Reginald does not see coming is that his only ere, Euphrates, sacrifices himself for their cause. This leaves Reginald with no choice but to simply ignore the massacre had ever happened as he had planned, but it only begins causing the people's dislike for him to continue growing. His eldest, Pernicious, capitalizes on this, and invades the castle to arrest his father after revealing his betrayal. Reginald, however, reveals to him that he's been secretly experimenting with Dorman Merriweather on obliviants for decades to create new cures for common diseases. This causes Pernicious to nearly kill him in anger, but he cannot bring himself to do it, and only imprisons Reginald.
Olden Times

The **"Olden Times,"** is a general phrase used to detail the great amount of lost history before the Great Reset, and the beginning of the Early Era. Very few records of the olden times exist, with only the events that lead up the destruction of the technology of the vairy existing. Anything before this has been completely forgotten. These are detailed as certain unknowns such as who humanity interbred with to form the vairy, how the vairy became so technologically advanced, or anything about Earth and it's culture pre reset.
Hercules Pompenalia

*"I have avenged them."*

*—* Hercules' last words to Vesuvius

**"Hercules Pompenalia,"** former member of the Onsetalst tribe, was a berae and one third of Gina's Rebellion. A friend of the namesaked, he agreed to help fight for the cause against Pernicious Larexen. However, their small force was easily annihilated at the cost of several berae. This left him living a life of apathy as a blacksmith, rejecting any semblance of restarting a rebellion. However, when his people were burned alive by Vesuvius Holistere, he was thrust back into the fight, eventually killing Holistere in the battle of Caglar.

## Overview

Hercules was a strong berae blacksmith, epitomizing the strive of his people, but became fast to anger and couldn't temper his own hubris. This made him a wildcard for joining into Brutus the Unburdened's defense legion. However, he held a strong want to do right by his people, despite his rambunctious personality. A fellow legionnaire, a charming elvairy named Yen, stood out amongst the ranks, but became affiliated with Brutus, earning his trust and likeability. Beneath this charm, Yen was violent, insecure, and cowardly. After Yen murdered one of the legionnaires over a piece of bread, Brutus was quick to unjustly blame Hercules for the crime, and as such banished him from ever returning to his family and people. Because of this, Hercules developed a strong prejudice against the elvairy.

With nowhere else to go, he fell into severe poverty on the streets of East Guild, blacksmithing poor quality weapons to travelers. Georgina Merriweather, while in the city, discovered him and seeing his situation, presented him with the option of joining her in a rebellion against Pernicious' tyrannical law, and to prove himself worthy once more. He quickly gained Georgina's respect after this and became one of the leaders of her forces.

## The Bridge Between Worlds

### Attempt on Esmerelda's Life

Because he was not aware of Esmerelda's identity, Hercules was struck when at the same of finding out that his entire tribe had been burned, he also found that she was the sister of Perncious. The enraged Berae quickly attempted to kill her in his rage and was only stopped by Galavantius, whom he unintentionally injured. The berae secluded himself from everyone as he was calmed down, still feeling betrayed, and walked out of the rebellion.

## Death

Hercules took place in the battle of Pernicious' final stand. He defeated many of the Liberating Ten, biting and mauling them to death, but knew his fate was inevitable after being stabbed through the chest. He then redeemed himself in Georgina's eyes when he sacrificed himself to severely cripple Vesuvius Holistere, avenging both Icari, and his entire family who had been victims of his ire.
Valluin Fourspire

Reginald Larexen - Adopted Son

Pernicious Larexen - Grandson

Euphrates Larexen - Grandson

Esmerelda Larexen - Granddaughter

*"I have come to find that pride can be a greatly foolish thing. My father knew it, and now, as do I. The help of others is not something one must squander, and the actions of one man, with accepting the love of others into his heart, can become elevated to the actions of one people."*

*—* Valluin's speech

**"Valluin Fourspire,"** was king of the former Fourspire monarch. The last in his family line after the death of his father, and with no sole heir, Valluin eventually fell in love with a poor obliviant named Jilrae and adopted her only child Reginald into his home. After Reginald had been manipulated to become a prodigy to the enemy, Valluin used transference to aid Jilrae in her grief, losing part of his power in the process. However, he was hunted down and killed when it was revealed to him that Dorman Merriweather had put into law that transference be punished as a crime. Jilrae walked through the streets in disguise until approaching Valluin's body at his funeral procession and sent them both to aeternum as manset soldiers closed in on her.
Elvairy

**"Elvairy,"** are a race of vairy who have achieved greater height, language, written word, and civilization in general. However, though they appear similar to other races, they have evolved to have ears that are attached to the sides of their faces and possess vestigial wings no longer used for flight. They possess the six charms of Empyrean, like all their greater, but have exclusively retained the power of the arsonal. An elvairy can as well have virtually unstoppable reflexes if trained at their absolute peak.

The species were once numerous throughout Elvaria, and had dominated and maintained control over the land for many millennia. This caused them to become very unaccustomed to the ideals of other species, with their status causing them to be prejudice against them, and vice versa. This was no more prevalent than in the relationship with their rival species, the manset. Due to their mutual power hungry, conquesting natures, they clashed for thousands of years, never being able to find a balance, or lasting peace. The largest conflict this had ever become was the thousand years war, a constant disagreement over a piece of land known as the fordlands. It would become silent for many years, but would flare up every now and then when the elvairy would declare the land for themselves.
Reverie

Vesuvius Holistere

Nero

Dorman Merriweather

Reginald Larexen

**"The Reverie,"** is the opposing realm of the Decimate. It is a place of everlasting pain, where the things that one so desires tortures them for eternity. It's outward appearance looks to be peaceful, with inhabitants acting in the same manner. However, this is only outside, as once a day all there are reminded of the cruelty of their actions, and they live this way for eternity, only reaching for that which they desire without fully grasping life.

Before the end of the Olden Times, it was the opposite of this, an actually peaceful place. However, once the gods who existed in the Sanctuary were destroyed, Ral was imprisoned here by Empyrean. She would begin her conquest of collecting souls of the unfortunate, and the Reverie became a place of great suffering.
Suid

*"We care for them as our own. They may lack the communication, but they're still people to us."*

*—* A suid on the suina

**"Suids,"** are an anthropomorphic boar race. They stem from the species of suina, who are non-bipedal. The Suids have fought for the unjust slaughter of the suina for centuries. They were originally just like the suina, all of them known as pigs, but became bipedal at some point in ancient history.
If Not Us, Who?

***If Not Us, Who?*** is the twenty-second released album by Moes Haven. It was originally released a couple of weeks before *Someone Else.*in 2005, but was taken down at about the same time as the original version of *This is My Millennium*. The title is the question that *Someone Else.* answers.

While Moes Haven was taking a break, they re-released their lost albums. In August 2004, they released *This is My Millennium*, which would take the CDBaby URL "moeshaven2". That link is now defunct. *This is My Millenium* would be re-released in 2008 with a less edgy track listing.

Unlike *This is My Millennium, If Not Us, Who?* is largely unchanged, and features Dan Speake on some tracks. The original 2005 version featured one track, "I Wanna Get Free", which was removed for unknown reasons. It seemingly continues the story of *Svetlana Finds Solace in the Arms of English Men of Letters Vol. 1*. It was most likely taken down because it was musically all over the place.

"Come Back to Dakota" appears on *It Takes a Lot of Guts!*from 2009.

Verglas

**"Verglas,"** refers to glass beings who lived in the far reaches of Salvo. Many thought that these were created by ancients, who sought to protect the arsonal rae staff. Over time, the verglas held no other duty than to protect the staff, and as such, based their entire society and belief around it, holding a prophecy of a god who would wield it for himself. Vesuvius Holistere, wishing to find it before Adam Arran and Esmerelda Larexen, completed their prophecy and commanded them to kill his enemies. They escaped, causing Vesuvius to destroy the entire population in spite of their failure to fulfill his command.
Corathean Forest

**"Corathean Forest"** refers to a mysteriously giant and endless biome of fauna. It is where Georgina Merriweather claimed her mount, Galavantius. The Corathean is believed to have been created by lost blossomers, whose influence over the land still exists. It is south of Quelia and is where India once existed, but is much more south toward the equator. The land has also been massively expanded due to tidal reduction over millions of years.
Night Vairy

*"You never want to encounter an angry night vairy. Before you know it, you've seen your last light.*

*—* Xilor to Adam Harbinger

**"Night Vairy,"** are a race of vairy lightbringers who inhabit the ferdow woods. They are born blind, an evolutionary trait developed as a result of the ferdows dark brushland.
Attack on the Underground

**"The Attack on the Underground."** was an onslaught brought on by Vesuvius Holistere as he discovered the location of Gina's Rebellion as it was hidden in the Black Caverns. Most members of the rebellion were struck down and, Adam Arran, secretly working with Vesuvius, left with Esmerelda Larexen to fulfill Georgina Merriweather's contingency. Of the members killed, one was Georgina's very own son, Sapheliant, who was stabbed in the heart by Vesuvius. It was a major blow to the rebellion until the reappearance of Icari inspired many to stand back up and fight once again.
High General of the King

**"High General of the King,"** was a title given to those who lead the army's of the throne of East Guild. This was a distinguished position given to those who earned such through respect and loyalty to the throne. It had existed for years before being distinguished after Pernicious' uprising.

Pernicious Larexen actually held this title for a few years, gaining his way by making allies with his fellow men and earning the trust of the current high general and his subsidiaries. This was much a thorn in the side of his father Reginald, who's prejudice against Pernicious' kind kept him from seeing the achievement his son had garnered. Once his brother died, Pernicious, knowing his army's loyalty would splinter, made contact with the Challengemen, obliviant rebels who would fight at his side.

However, the title of High General became null once the king was overthrown, as his army had splintered into two, just as his son had foreseen, and it was no longer a unit. Therefor, Pernicious devolved the title into a more self appointed calling of the name Warmaster.
Tree Vairy

**"Tree vairy,"** are a devolved feral race of vairy who mostly lived throughout the fordlands but currently take shelter in the corathean forest. They are most, if not all, born as blossomers for reasons unknown. Tree vairy also hunt in packs and can be either violently aggressive or passively docile. However, if they are warded, they will almost always be hostile.
The Cult of Caramaldu

**"The Caramaldu,"** are a vaporaal cult who worship the process of transference. By sacrificing others, they would push themselves past the chulu to death edge, allowing for easy manipulation of the body with ma'arch magic. They could be found primarily in the Ferdow woods. Their criminal activities being so secretive made them especially dangerous for travelers.
Fordlands

**"Fordlands,"** refers to a small map of forestry formerly inhabited by fordlanders, those of which included the lungaris and malicaris. Moreover these lands were much different from the Corathean in that they were well known by civilization by sitting on the border between Elvaria and Anthra. Evacuation efforts were given out to the area in the wake of Vesuvius Holistere's transformation. It was subsequently burned in the ensuing conflict.

It's history includes the many small conflicts leading to all out war between manset and elvairy. It was a place of constant strife due to the conflicting species' trying to claim it as their own. Brigid, a blossomer, in the heat of this conflict, battled her sister Nyx, a vaporaal, who fought for the manset cause. Brigid was eventually killed in battle. As her body became and transformed the landscape around, those around them continued to fight. The manset would eventually lose, and were pushed back as the elvairy claimed the land as their own. Nyx then went into seclusion.
In Aeternum

**"From the world of The Bridge: In Aeternum,"** refers to a spin-off of the series of the same name. It is again set in the fictional world of Sel and focuses on obliviants, the species born without the ability of a magical martyrdom known as aeternum, and the divide between their opposing sister-species, the vairy. The story's main characters are Jilrae, a poor obliviant burdened with constant ridicule and her attempts to support her son, and Valluin, a lonely vairy who is the last in his family line.
Lightbringer

**"Lightbringers,"** are vairy able to possess the spectrum of light. Lightbringers are fairly common throughout as at least one will be born into a family every generation. Adam Harbinger became a lightbringer by way of the divine, the first human/manset to ever do so. However, elvairy are mostly born to possess control of white light only, with very few, known as illuminates, having control of the entire spectrum.
The Tower of Ivory

**"The Tower of Ivory,"** was a technologically advanced portal to the Reverie that the Vairy built in their efforts to challenge the will of Empyrean. Unknowing that their attempts would plummet the universe into absolute nothingness, Empyrean created Ral, her shadow goddess, to stabilize the balance between good and evil and was forced into separating the different enchantments from eachother sequentially and forcing them back to their homeworld as punishment. This is known as the Great Reset. Many tales have been used to explain the ruins in Elvaria, as only it's foundations are left.
The Ire

An infected Dracus

**"The Ire,"** was an airborne pathogen that swept through the land, causing those it infected to die slowly, and painfully. It would render a person's ability become nourished impossible, and they would dehydrate and die within days as parts of their skin became red. One way to tell if a manset had the illness would be that the tips of their fingers, their lips, or their eyes, would turn pink, and then deep crimson red, as splotches formed on their skin and their veins slowly turned red as well. Elvairy would get the red on the tips of their ears. By the end of the ordeal, their bodies will have been turned into dehydrated husks of what they once were, nearly unrecognizable, and with the red consuming their bodies. It did not discriminate however, and any species could be infected. Pernicious Larexen dealt with the disease during his reign, as it wiped out most of the remaining Elvairy in the population, as their numbers had already decreased massively from the War on Enchantment.
Table of the Exonerated

**"Table of the Exonerated,"** refers to an enchanted table centered in the Temple of Exoneration. It has the power to send anyone into aeternum, including obliviants, and those who are killed by anything other than old age. It was to be used by Karl Moon to sacrifice Esmerelda Larexen's life, but was eventually used by Adam Harbinger instead as he had no other choice when it was apparent she was dying.
Salvo

**"Salvo,"** is a location east of elvaria. The land is stricken with massive active volcanoes with lava flow that stretches for hundreds of miles. It was inhabited by the ancient verglas, a defensive group of beings created to protect the arsonal rae staff. However, Vesuvius Holistere entered Salvo, defeated the Verglas, took the staff, and then destroyed them.
Vix Fourspire

**"King Vix Fourspire the Arrowed"** also known as "**the Map Master**" and later in life "**the Delusionary,**" was father to Valluin Fourspire and high king of Fourspire for forty years. He is renown for bringing many years of peace to his kingdom, but eventually became the subject of much criticism for ignoring matters that desired his attention in the name of peace. His older age eventually brought on great delusions as he began to lose his mind. A strong believer in forgiveness, he pardoned many, owing his mindset to a great act of kindness and strength he once witnessed, However, this caused tension with his son, who's prideful nature did not agree with such thinking. This was never more present than in his friendship with Dorman Merriweather, who Vix believed was a good man. However, Dorman betrayed him. In his final moments, his resolve was shaken, but his son reassured him.
Millicent

**"Millicent,"** is a malicari general who fought alongside Esmerelda against Pernicious Larexen. She had made a deal with Esmerelda to gain money for her in order for Millicent to move her army to fight in Gina's Rebellion.

## The Bridge Between Worlds

In the story she is first encountered when Adam and Esmerelda travel to her for help after the Black Caverns are attacked. She taunts Esmerelda for not being able to give her the money in their deal, who then attacks her. This reveals Esmerelda's true nature to Adam and she is not seen again for a long time.

At the Battle of Caglar, she and her army arrive, seemingly out of pride or because Esmerelda paid her. The cause of this sudden arrival is not made abundantly clear.
Malikus Merriweather

**"Malikus Merriweather**," was the son of Dorman and older brother of Georgina Merriweather. He was friends with Valluin Fourspire, but Valluin arrested him, believing he was in part responsible for his father's death. Malikus was eventually tried and Valluin attempted to get him to admit Dorman Merriweather's part in the conspiracy. Before Malikus could admit his guilt, however, he attempted to write his father. When realizing his father's views on the elvairy were mad, and that he was not coming to save him, Malikus, betrayed, escaped capture by killing two guards. His whereabouts forever remained a mystery.
Empyrean

*"Adam- you have walked far and wide, from a slippage in time that was not foreseen. This presence invites many challenges. But your purpose is not to become in aeternum. A greater consequetor emerges. As such we will gift the control of light."*

*—* Empyrean after Adam's demise

**"Empyrean,"** is the super celestial goddess of light and truth. An all knowing deity, her origins are known for her split into Ral, an arch-presence. Historically, Empyrean was said to have given six powers, or charms, to the vairy. She was directly involved in granting Adam Harbinger the power of the lightbringer and bringing an end to the obliterance. Empyrean then would battle Ral for the last time after the sub-men had attacked Sel, and split her soul into ten pieces to create the Champions, affectively destroying herself in the process

## Origins

Empyrean, like the other gods, were created when the universe first began from the big bang. She began as a particle of light attached to the wings of the Construct that slowly learned to control the light around her until she could form her own appearance from manipulating it. However, inside of her existed an uncertainty, a fear that she could be consumed by, and found that she could cover the light she created with shadow. Something she called Ral. But she learned to control this shadow nonetheless.

### The Great Reset

After having existed for billions of years and watching as species built their ships to fly to the stars, Empyrean felt pride, holding love for them at her core. However, the arrival of Cassius Corvus forced Empyrean to do what was necessary to ensure the survival of the universe as Cassius attempted to destroy the Construct. The fear and uncertainty inside her then bubbled up until Ral could no longer be controlled and she let her out in full force. Ral proceeded to kill Cassius and his men, but a horrified Empyrean watched as Ral annihilated nearly all of the technology the tanonites and manset had built. Before she could kill them all, Empyrean commanded Ral to stop. Ral, however, looked upon her without impunity, revealing she had long wished to be free of the prison she had been kept in for so long. The opposing forces fought viciously until Empyrean was able to imprison her in the Reverie. A spiteful Ral cried out while Empyrean, in tears, worked to restore the tanonites and manset to their homeland, and blessed them with charms from the now destroyed gods.

Ral

**"Ral,"** is the goddess of shadow and chaos. She was first unleashed by Empyrean when Cassius Corvus and his forces found the Sanctuary. With no choice, she let her free. Ral proceeded to annihilate Cassius and his men in quick fashion, and would go on to rid the elvairy of all of their technology. Empyrean then imprisoned her in the Reverie when she could not contain Ral back within herself. The shadow goddess would subsequently begin to take souls there, and rather than being a peaceful place as it once was, the Reverie became a prison for all taken by Ral.
Manset

Lord Yeshua Solguile

**"Manset,"** are a species who live in vast numbers throughout Anthra and into Elvaria. They are the biological decendants of ancient chimpanzees and have existed for many millennia as the major species to the vairy, and all others throughout Sel. There are all and all three species of manset that live in Terrifirma. These include man, gnet, and liason.
Spring sand

**"Spring sand,"** is a mineral deposit found in and around springs throughout Elvaria. It can be used as a stimulant to increase one's charm/enchantment, thus giving them a natural high of sorts. However, too much of the mineral can overload one's body, depowering them temporarily into a state of shock. This was not well known to those in high status, as it was used by Pernicious Larexen and his followers to destroy many in powerful positions.
Unleashing the Champions

**"Unleashing the Champions,"** is the major event that turned the tide of the Battle of the Bridge. Empyrean, fighting Ral, desperate upon trying to maintain the winning side of the those fighting against the sub-men, whispered for them to come alive. Suddenly, her spirit evaporated Ral, and filled the bodies of certain elvairy, as they were consumed by golden spirits and used as vessels to fight. They quickly annihilated the sub-dracus, and as well shifted the tide of the ground force, effectively saving the world, but ending Empyrean's existence.
Nero

**"Nero,"** referred to a vicious panthera belonging to Vesuvius Holistere. From initial ownership to their eventual bonding, Nero served Vesuvius without question. His reputation was said to be known simply as a carrier of the greatest savagery with undying loyalty to his bonder.

## The Bridge Between Worlds

Nero is first seen at Vesuvius' side while he is relayed information on the location of Gina's rebellion. Obeying his master, he attacks the messenger and mauls him to death upon command.

He is present at Pernicious' Final Stand, and is killed by Galavantius, ending the ire of his evil.
Ononoch

Esmerelda Larexen - Granddaughter

Euphrates Larexen - Grandson

Pernicious Larexen - Grandson

*"Death will envelop this world. Vaporaals will seize their full potential..."*

*—*Ononoch's phrase

**"Ononoch,"** was a vaporaal and grandfather to Pernicious, Euphrates, and Esmerelda Larexen. He was entombed at Caglar by his own children upon trying to kill them until being awakened by Ral years later after Pernicious' defeat. Ononoch took control of Vesuvius Holistere's remains, his mission seemingly to bring the world unto the undead. This plan failed. Ononoch ironically achieved his ultimate goal in the end, dying himself in the Obliterance. Ononoch's resurrection was subsequently revealed by Warren Mile to have been a by-product of Adam Arran's. His plan failing eventually unleashed the sub-men on Earth and Sel.
Gord

"**Gord**," was the leader of the Goshen Hoard, a terrorist group who attacked East Guild. He was contacted by Dorman Merriweather, as they had a common goal of destroying the Fourspire Monarch. Dorman presented him with the ability to overpower himself with spring sand, which he had learned from his son, and promised him vast wealth if he was successful in laying waste to the kingdom. Gord agreed and achieved his goal. However, he was betrayed by Dorman once the king found that Vix and Valluin survived, something that was not explicit in their agreement. In response, Gord and his men gathered at a feast but were trapped inside with the hall set aflame. Gord escaped and confronted Merriweather. However, after calling the king a coward, he was shot dead with arrows.
The Bridge Between Worlds

**''The Bridge Between Worlds,"** is a fantasy drama novel and the first in a series of **The Bridge**. Set in a fantasy world where the magical are persecuted under the rule of a non-magical tyrant, the book begins with the accidental arrival of the vengeful Adam Arran, who wishes to find his parent's killer.
First Contact

"**First Contact**," was an event that changed the future of the galaxy forever. A species, now unknown, came down from the skies, revealing to Idyll that they were not alone in the universe. It introduced the species on this planet to a web of habitable planets and other species that they had not known of before, as well as gave them the technology to travel through space quickly. This species then stayed on Idyll in mass, and they, as well as those they interbred continuously did so until they were one indiscernible species, the vairy.
Valluin and Jilrae's Ascension

**"Valluin and Jilrae's Ascension,"** was an event in which Jilrae approached Valluin's body at his funeral, and disguised, took his hand as guards closed in on her. She then had a vision of him, standing in their bedroom together. He informed her that everything was going to be okay, and that he loved her. She then ascended into aeternum with him, effectively ending her life but giving his rest peace.
