Chancellor Bryc

**Chancellor Bryc** is the gnome headmaster of Stoneskeep University.

He was present at the trial of Reuben Kryptke and his wife, where Judge Mercure ordered him to cast *moonbeam* on the accused to see if they were changelings. When he did so, both exposed themselves to the full brunt of the spell so that it killed them. Shortly after, he suggested the cursed necklace which the judge later forced Spectra to wear for the rest of her life. (*A Changeling's Tale*)

He was also present during the Graduate Qualifiers when Fiora attempted to take the test disguised as Ametrine Barbareilles. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)

He served as announcer for the Stoneskeep Equestrian Tournament which Kay'la competed in, where he used *thaumaturgy* to amplify his voice and mimic the sounds of a starting pistol. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)

When Spectra, now a young adult, asked to be enrolled in the university, he refused her on several different grounds. But when she pointed out his historical culpability for the various reasons that now held her back, he capitulated and allowed her to take the entrance exam. Despite Hiyeth teleporting her to the Faewilds before she could finish it, Bryc later forged her score to ensure she passed, for reasons implied to involve Hiyeth threatening him. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)

On her first day of classes, Spectra watched Bryc's opening speech to the university's 315th class, where he falsely claimed she was a worshipper of Lustra to justify why the college wasn't taking disciplinary action for her perpetual flaunting of the fress code. (*First Day of School*)

## Trivia

* He is the only character to appear in both *Vow of Nudity* and *Curse of Nudity*. He later became the second character from either series to appear in *The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*, after Spectra.
Silver dagger

The **silver dagger** (or "athame", as she always referred to it) was one of Fiora's possessions in her forest hideout. Originally taken from her university, it came with her when she and Haara got dragged into the demon realm by Murkadoth.

It became Haara's primary weapon of choice so she could counteract most demon's resistance to nonsilvered weapons. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)
No-Limbs Johnson

**No-Limbs Johnson** was a town guard stationed at Saltsborough. He was among the many soldiers sent into the coastal caves to try and kill the Flying Deathshredder. He was the only one to ever return home alive, albeit missing all his limbs, hence his new nickname. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Slave Barracks

There are four **slave barracks** within the Capital of the Genasi Empire, one in each subdistrict. Together they hold enough cots for all slaves to sleep two-to-a-cot, though individual slaves don't learn until each night which one they'll be sleeping in, to dissuade camraderie or easy organizing within the slave ranks.

Slave barracks are underground, with a stone ramp leading to a T-junction leading to two separate sleeping areas and a shared common room containing a mess hall, eating tables, showers, and a row of sinks for hygiene and dishwashing purposes. The mess hall was generally empty at night, allowing Haara and her mentor to meet there in private for her regular monk training.
Carnerri

**Carnerri** is a succubus and denizen of the Demon city in the Demon realm. She seemed to live a relatively mundane life, with a very messy house and a dirty horse-drawn carriage she parked in her backyard.

## Character history

She attacked Haara and Fiora with a frying pan while catching them stealing trash from her backyard. Fiora convinced her to let them leave if Haara washed her car.

The two later returned to her house to hide out overnight. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)
Maz'gha

**Maz'gha** was an orc slave of the Genasi Empire kidnapped by the 38th Naval Legion. She was covered in battlescars and had large tusks, and usually chose not to speak. (*The Isle of Slimes*)

## Trivia

* This character shares a name and species with early designs for Haara herself, as revealed on the author’s DeviantArt page.
Ebrigg

**Ebrigg** was a dwarven topman on the zeppelin. He witnessed Haara's and Vogurr's game of Fate's Mate, and later became one of the first crewmen to start suggesting mutiny against the captain for venting their supplies.

He is not seen after this, so it's unknown if he survives the later events of the story. (*Skies of the Damned*)
Golden Dragon

The **golden dragon** crash-landed in Fireport and bequeathed his draconic powers to Sarah moments before Genasi evokers led by Galather killed him. (*The Golden Streak*)

He was later confirmed to have lived on in a sense, within Sarah's mind, where he could warn her of incoming dangers and educate her about the draconic heritage she'd joined. (*Sarah on The Island of Corruption*)
First Day of School

***First Day of School*** is the fifth story in the *Curse of Nudity* series.

## Summary

Spectra, a changeling warlock, finally gets into magic university! Unfortunately, thanks to her curse, she has to walk around school completely NAKED!

The only two Demon Lords whose names we hear are Murkadoth and Yaan.

Pike's Port

**Pike's Port** was a seaport near Stoneskeep. The nightwatchman and Spectra attempted to smuggle a crate of bootleg fireworks there, but a series of hostile encounters in the wilderness prevented either traveler or their wares from successfully making the trip. (*The Forest of Terrors*)

Wynfred and Dagwert lived here, traveling every day to Stoneskeep to peddle wares in their cart. (*Peril in the Frozen North*)
Wernn

**Wern** was a gnome prisoner in the Axrilas jails. He was arrested for thievery due to an unrelated murder attempt in the same building. He was seen casting the spells *whelm* and *mage hand.*

He joined the getaway party during a jailbreak, but was decapitated by a guardsman axe in the fighting. (*The Destitute Dancer*)
Green Mist

The **green mist** was the local name for a terrible plague infecting Duskvale.

After the royal clerics failed to cure it and hundreds died, King Victor the Last sold his adopted daughter to the Horned Queen to save his people.

It was later revealed that Gloria had lied about the plague to hide the real reasons she was sent to the Faewilds. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)
Verum coin

A **verum coin** is a magic item invented by a team of transmutation wizards in Steeplepoint and designed to reveal disguised or shapeshifted imposters. When activated and held near an individual, it will display that person's true face on it, as well as glow a certain color corresponding to their race. It will continue to operate for one minute before needing to recharge.

 Air Genasi | Silvery Gray

Professor Kirk showcased a prototype to his class at Stoneskeep University, using Spectra to demonstrate its ability to see through shapeshifted disguises. (*First Day of School*)
Genasi Empire

The **Genasi Empire** is the primary antagonistic force in the *Vow of Nudity* series. Inhabited by the Genasi race, the Genasi Empire is a tyrannical, prejudiced, and technologically-superior superpower waging a one-sided war against the entirety of The Continent. Their leader is the Star King, the most powerful member of the ruling family.

Due to its people's genetic elemental ability, the empire enjoys mild and temperate weather all year round. The Genasi Lights are an astrological phenomenon that occurs every ten years over the Empire, caused by the collective elemental powers of the Genasi people gathering and discharging in a brief light show similar to static electricity. (*The Butcher's Basement*)

## Architecture

In stark contrast to the scattered and disjointed city-states of the Mixed Lands, the Genasi Empire is grand and unified in their cause. Their streets are paved marble and their buildings contain heavy use of arches, statues, and internal plumbing.

## Symbol

The Genasi Imperial symbol is a combination of the four elements, where only one can be properly oriented at once. Each subrace of Genasi displays the symbol so that their element of choice is angled properly.

## Notable locations

* The Capital
	+ Royal Palace
	+ Aqueduct
	+ Slave Barracks
* Orel Mountain
* Bitterfort
* Fireport
* Blackfire Mines
* Riverkeep (conquered)
* Jentry's Pass (conquered)
* Sarah's home village (conquered)
* Dangar Pass (conquered)
Forger

**Forger** was a warforged prisoner in the Axrilas jails. He was arrested for the extremely high quality of his blacksmithing due to pro-human racism in the city-state. He fought primarily by channeling infusions through a crossbow.

He joined the getaway party during a jailbreak, and was one of two survivors to successfully escape along with Haara Sitae'il. They joined up with several highway travelers and successfully fought off a wolf pack, but Forger perished along with almost everyone else when attacked by the orc warband. (*The Destitute Dancer*)

## Trivia

* He is stated to have a storage compartment in his body for carrying inventory items.
* He's stated to be constructed from mithral and wood.
* Despite not being the protagonist, his lack of clothing means the "Vow of Nudity" series title is more likely referring to him than Haara Sitae'il for their story.
Jade

**Jade** is a transgender goblin shaman who lived with a goblin tribe near Sarah's home village. Despite being banned from the village, she'd often visit Sarah when she visited the lake near the village.

Sarah later met her on the Island of Corruption, where Jade sicced a vine monster on her and hinted at having ulterior motives for the island. (*Sarah on The Island of Corruption*)
Circus

The **circus** was a popular tourist attraction on the seedier side of Stoneskeep. Housing a large tent surrounded by numerous small-time games of chance, it employed many social outcasts and other "freaks" to put on sideshow acts. The circus also housed a network of trailers for prostitutes of both genders to make additional money after hours.

It was owned by Qalek who served as ringleader, announcer, and also ran numerous illegal operations on the side. The games of chance were also largely rigged; for example, the archery range contained special arrows with magnetic tips which would repel away from the target and ensure the shooter couldn't win too many in a row.

## Employees

* Qalek
* Spectra
* Fat man
* Painted lady
* Nightwatchman
* Fortune teller
* Peet (formerly, incercerated)
* Fjorn (formerly, incercerated)
Horned Queen

The **Horned Queen** is an authority figure in the Faewilds. Comments by the hobgoblin princess suggests she had escaped from the Horned Queen when Spectra encountered her in the fey forests.

She was also revealed to be the former kidnapper of Jenifer before the fey bandit party stole her, a crime for which they were mercilessly hunted even two decades later. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)
Aurora

**Aurora** was a Water Genasi and a member of the Genasi raiding gang. The vainest member of the gang, Aurora considered herself the most-enviable member of the team, and one of the most beautiful people in existence.

Roquette mentioned that she has half-Water and half-Air heritage, explaining her Air Genasi-styled name.

## Character History

She and the other members of the team captured Kay'la and Bren, and confiscated their cart of mithral. However, Kay'la manipulated the various teammates until they started attacking each other. Aurora helped murder Roquette before getting her throat slit by Skyla. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Spectra's necklace

**Spectra's necklace** is a cursed magical item and the only article of clothing she can wear that doesn't burst into flames. While originally just the silver chain, Hiyeth later added the purple heart pendant to it after their encounter.

## History

Spectra was forced to attune to the item after her parents were caught during a bank robbery that involved their murders of Captain Goldgrass and Guardsmen Jarem. It was court-ordered by Judge Mercure on the suggestion of Chancellor Bryc as a way to ensure she couldn't impersonate other citizens with her changeling powers.

After encountering Hiyeth, he added the Periapt of Disease Immunity which she also uses as an arcane focus. (*A Changeling's Tale*)
Groth

**Groth** was a giant who lived in the forests between Saltsborough and Stoneskeep.

He got angry when Kay'la's combat taunting kept him from being able to sleep on two separate occasions. She later took advantage of this to bait Groth into attacking Orchestrion Moonbrook for waking him a third and final time. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Kryptke tailory

The **Kryptke tailory** was an abandoned shop on the outskirts of Stoneskeep. Once owned by Reuben Kryptke and his wife, it was abandoned after their failed bank robbery and public double-suicide during their trial. The surrounding forest eventually swallowed it and the trail that once led to it.

Many years later, their daughter would regularly visit the shop to sew new dresses in secret, despite her inability to wear them. (*A Changeling's Tale*)

Legally, the property belonged to Merle Goldgrass, after Judge Mercure bequeathed it to her as part of her bereavement compensation for her husband's murder. (*First Day of School*)
Marquis d'Pratte

The **Marquis D'Pratte** was an aasimar nobleman who owned a series of trading routes throughout the Mixed Lands, which he'd regularly raise prices or bully travelers for "protection" money, and bribe officials in neighboring city-states to look the other way. He lived in a remote chateau in the marshlands to protect himself, and worked only a single hour a week.

Haara infiltrated his chateau in the guise of Yoanna, one of his servants, killed the Marquis, and helped the servants loot the estate for valuables before escorting them safely through the marshlands to civilization. (*A Valentine's Visit*)

Genasi pirate

The **Genasi pirate** was a member of The Jackal's pirate crew.

When the Jackal took over the zeppelin and wanted to gain access to the ship's safe, Haara used the Genasi pirate's knowledge of *shape water* to shatter the lock. The trio later investigated the gun deck where the Genasi pirate was murdered via cannonball by the Zeppelin captain. (*Skies of the Damned*)
Pan-Continental Express

The ***Pan-Continental Express*** is a hot-air balloon operated by Father Pyrestein. He advertises himself as capable of giving rides to anywhere in The Continent.

He operated a sightseeing tour into the Sharpeak Mountains, but his passengers turned out to be walrus poachers who attacked and angered a thanoi tribe. Pyrestein only survived due to timely intervention by Kay'la, whereafter he flew her back to Stoneskeep. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Slimes

**Slimes** are a highly-altered variant of oozes found only on the Isle of Slimes.

Unlike Oozes, slimes are not corrosive, and are instead very sticky (though their stickiness can be temporarily negated by splashing them with water). They were synthesized in the dwarven factory until being unleashed to defeat the 38th Naval Legion, wherupon they overwhelmed both sides of the fight and took over the island, ruled by the Giant Slime.

Over the years, they evolved from shapeless blobs into humanoid 'plasmoids', who not only wielded weapons, but 'wore' the skeletons of the dead genasi and dwarven defenders within their transclucent gooey bodies. (*The Isle of Slimes*)
Demonsaurus

The **Demonsaurus** was the alpha-predator of the abyssal swamps in the demon realm. Looking like a T-rex covered in spikes, it lived in a den atop a central mountain.

Fiora and Haara visited this den, where Fiora hypnotized it so the pair could obtain some ingredients for their summoning ritual. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)
Burnette

**Burnette** was a Fire Genasi and a member of the Genasi raiding gang. The quietest member of the gang, Burnette held deep-seated insecurities due to her noble upbringing, and tended to be the only teammate who maintained the camp and other support duties.

Roquette mentioned that her rich parents fund their gang's expeditions, and that's the only reason her teammates keep her around.

## Character History

She and the other members of the team captured Kay'la and Bren, and confiscated their cart of mithral. However, Kay'la manipulated the various teammates until they started attacking each other. Burnette helped murder Roquette before witnessing Skyla kill Aurora, and then crushed her with the mithral cart. Now the sole survivor, she experienced a crisis of faith and allowed Kay'la and Bren to leave without further bloodshed. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Kay'la

**Kay'la** was a sea elf commoner who steals a set of Royal Paladin armor and goes around claiming to be a knight, accompanied by her squire Bren. She's the protagonist of *The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*.

At level 4, she increased her Dex to 18, took the Revenant Blade feat, and retrained her Fighting Style to Great Weapon Fighting.

At level 5, she learned *Enhance Ability* and *Magic Weapon* as always-prepared spells, and summoned Lugnut as her permanent mount.

## Character sheet (0th Edition)

After traveling through the time conduit, Kay'la found herself in a world that ran on 0th edition D&D rules, where her character sheet became:

*Name: Kay’la (MtF Elf, Original 0th Edition D&D Paladin 4)*

Her level was set to 4, despite her being level 5 in the present, as elves in that era weren't allowed to level Fighting Man beyond 4. During her adventure in time, she had a level drained from her by a Wight, lost her paladinhood and reverted to a Fighting Woman, and later swapped to a 1st level Magic-User (and back) using her elven racial ability. She later gained a level via acquiring enough treasure just before returning home.

## Backstory

Kay'la grew up with her parents in Aquastria, where she always dreamed of becoming a Royal Aquastrian Knight. However, the palace rejected every application, until finally sending a soldier to go politely ask her to stop applying, as commoners couldn't become knights. After the two fought a one-sided duel that Kay'la quickly lost, a mysterious kobold tripped the knight and helped Kay'la steal his gear, including gifting her a glamour prism to hide the appearance of her armor.

Now armed and with sufficient evidence for her stolen valor, Kay'la fled Aquastria to the surface lands, where she roams the world claiming to be "the world's first naked knight" and getting into misadventures across The Continent.
Faewilds hideout

The **faewilds hideout** was the original home base of the fey bandit party. The team controlled their portion of the faewilds with an iron fist, robbing and strongarming with impunity, until the day they kidnapped a mistress of the Horned Queen. Their leader, Iaqo, ordered Clew to construct additional defenses to house their prize, but Clew rigged the traps to expel his teammates, locking them permanently out of the hideout.

## Geography

The hideout appears to be entirely underground. The passageway from the forest is glamoured to look like trees and additionally defended by an ever-shifting hedge maze which spawns wicker golems if travelers take a wrong turn.

The front door was guarded by four mannequins, each with a spotlight of a different color (red, yellow, blue, and white). They guard three valves around the hideout perimeter, and Clew would use his shapeshifting to recolor himself so specific mannequins couldn't see him and allow him to turn the valves and open the front door. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)

The hideout had a basement referred to as the "holding cell," where apparitions would attack those who the gang threw down there. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)
Firbolg Mentor

The **Firbolg Mentor** was a slave in the Genasi Empire, and a monk who trained Haara in the ways of monastic martial arts.

He was a spellcaster, and therefore forced to wear a metal armband that suppressed his magical abilities. Despite this, he showed an uncanny ability to evade other people's perception, often appearing out of seemingly nowhere to tutor his various pupils across the slave population.

Sometime after Haara escaped, he was transferred to the Blackfire Mines. (*The Lake of Fire*)
Lugnut

**Lugnut** is the fey spirit Kay'la summons whenever she casts *find steed.*

Kay'la first summoned Lugnut immediately upon hitting level 5, since she was stranded in the Dwarven Mithral Mines and needed a beast of burden to transport a carriage of mithral ore to Stoneskeep. On the way the group was attacked by various threats, including a Genasi raiding gang.

Kay'la later rode her in the Stoneskeep Equestrian Tournament, where Lugnut was killed in the second event. When Kay'la resummoned her, she did so in the form of a clockwork steed which she then reassembled into a motorcycle for the final event, where she ended up coming in second. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Skyswimmer

The **skyswimmer** was a massive monster controlled by the Harpies in the Sharpeak Mountains. It had a hulking wormlike structure and was covered in prehensile tendrils. In combat, it would slam into enemy vessels to damage them and bludgeon anyone on deck, and could also swallow smaller creatures in its massive mouth to disentigrate them within its stomach acid.

It attacked the zeppelin twice, once while The Jackal was commanding, and once when Haara and the Storm Lord's pegasi arrived to defeat it. (*Skies of the Damned*)
Fiora

**Fiora** was a swiftstride shifter who got trapped with Haara in the Demon realm.

As a high-level witch specializing in transmutation magic, she was seen using the spells *draught pitch, shocking grasp, color spray, mage armor, unseen servant, find familiar, alter self, greater mending, thunder step,* and *bestow curse.* She could also use *minor alchemy* to temporarily transmogrify wooden, stone, copper, iron, or silver objects into a different one of those elements.

## Character history

Fiora grew up in a swiftstride clan in the Ocher Barrens, where her birth name was 'Lost Deer Among the Misty Pines.' Later she became the first person from her clan to attend college when she traveled to Stoneskeep and convinced Professor Rohet to sponsor her enrollment. She became one of his star pupils and served as a research assistant during his expeditions to seek out and destroy demonic artifacts across The Continent.

She later fled the college after selling her soul to Murkadoth, living in the forest as a recluse brewing potions and stealing corpses from battlefields to trade him for abyssal ingredients. It was during this time in her life that she captured and attempted to sacrifice Haara, which went badly wrong and ended with both of them stranded in the demon realm. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)

* Tiny magic scrolls with *glyph of warding* and *revivify*

He's also seen to use the spells *dancing lights, faerie fire,* and *darkness*, all drow racials. None of his artificer spells are used other than on his character sheet.
Slekkh

**Slekkh** (also known as **The Flying Deathshredder**) is a black dragon who lived in the coastal saves near Saltsborough. By day he'd murder any soldiers sent to kill him, by night he'd emerge to go disintegrate livestock with his acid breath attack.

When Kay'la entered the caves to kill him, he quickly proved to martially outclass her, but she killed him by collapsing the cave ceiling on him.

He later proved to have survived, and later orchestrated a public reveal that Kay'la was wearing glamoured armor in Axrilas, with the help of his risen thrall F'rank. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Petrichor

**Petrichor** was a Water Genasi nobleman living in The Capital.

## Character biography

As a young man, Petrichor used to hang out with Cresset, Ione, and Hillock. He would torment Ayrwyn in particular due to infatuation for her, and his troublemaking often targeted slaves like Haara.

As an adult, Petrichor married Ayrwyn and became a bard, with Splaaglups as his manservant. After losing his family's wealth, he devised a plan to use the Piscine Stone to capture the Giant Plesiosaur and control the oceans around The Continent. (*The Ghost Ship*)

## Trivia

* His bardic focus was a pungi.
* Petrichor's marriage to Ayrwyn revealed that non-Genasi can gain the legal rights of a Genasi citizen through marriage, even to the degree of being liberated from slavery and immunity to being re-enslaved.
The Jackal

**The Jackal** is one of the captains of the Crimson Corsairs.

## Character history

The Jackal sent one of her crewmen, Vogurr, to infiltrate the zeppelin crew and sabotage the ship's systems while it traveled through the Sharpeak Mountains. Despite his conflicting loyalties being revealed by Haara, Vogurr's actions nonetheless crippled the ship and the crew later betrayed their captain and raised an illuminated white flag at night to surrender the ship to her. (*Skies of the Damned*)
Dunmouth

**Dunmouth** was a frontier town situated at the base of the Sharpeak Mountains. As the trading hub of its area, it was the most reliable location for receiving communications.

For this reason, Haara attempted to visit after Silver Lining agents in town never reported Serris of Tides arriving on schedule. There she discovered that their neighbor, Argent Gate, had sicced their army of ice mephits on the town.

The only named denizen is Gemtree, who owns a tattoo parlor. (*Peril in the Frozen North*)
Captain Goldgrass

**Captain Goldgrass** was the commander of the Stoneskeep Guard. Lt. Woland was his deputy, whom he would refer to as 'boy' as a term of endearment. His wife was a professor of abjuration magic at Stoneskeep University.

Reuben Kryptke and his wife killed him as part of a bank robbery where Reuben disguised as him to infiltrate the bank.

The couple were caught, in part due to suspicions by Lt. Woland, and Judge Mercure bequeathed their assets to Goldgrass' widow as bereavement compensation. (*A Changeling's Tale*)
Walburt

**Walburt of Hillsmeet** was a human barbarian who lived in Steeplepoint, and joined Haara on her mission to liberate her mentor from Blackfire Mines.

He was a cheerful, somewhat daft bodybuilder who tended to use flowery language and overestimate his prowess in various situations. As a Bear Totem Barbarian, he knew the spells *beast sense* and *speak with animals*.

## Character sheet

Walburt's character sheet during his adventure with Haara was as follows:

*Name: Walburt (Male Variant Human, Bear Totem Barbarian 3/Fighter 1)*
*Alignment: Chaotic Good*
*Appearance: Brown eyes, tanned skin, long red hair*
*Background: Gladiator*

*STR 15 (+2)*
*DEX 16 (+3)*
*CON 16 (+3)*
*INT 8 (-1)*
*WIS 8 (-1)*
*CHA 8 (-1)*
*44 HP, 16 AC*

*Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, Perception, Performance*

*Tool Proficiencies: Makeup Kit, Bagpipes*
*Languages: Common*

*Feats: Tavern Brawler*
*Fighting Style: Unarmed Fighting*
*Spells: Speak With Animals, Beast Sense*
*Inventory: Totem Necklace*

## Backstory

Walburt was born in a leper colony, and later became an adventurer. His armor got eaten by rust monsters during an ill-fated dungeon delve, spurring him to swear that he would never rely on armor for protection again.

He eventually settled down in Steeplepoint where he became a champion venator at the Steeplepoint Arena, and regularly goes on expeditions to capture new beasts for the fighting grounds. (*The Lake of Fire*)
Mithral

**Mithral** is a precious metal. Half the weight of steel but equally strong, it can be used to craft magical weapons and armor.

Kay'la visited the Dwarven Mithral Mines in hopes of procuring some, and was successful after dealing with a rakshasa and a sphinx. On the way back to Stoneskeep she lost some of it to various monster attacks, and later had the whole thing confiscated by a Genasi raiding gang, but each time she managed to regain control of it. After traveling through the black obelisk to learn the formula for mithral plate, she finally crafted herself mithral plate armor using the hobgoblin blacksmith's forge. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)

Serris of Tides and Sparky Dustfellow also wear mithral plate armor. Father Pyrestein learned the formula from Kay'la, so it's possible he crafts himself some as well. (*Peril in the Frozen North, The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)

Forger was constructed from mithral and wood. (*The Destitute Dancer*)
Merle Goldgrass

**Merle Goldgrass** was the wife of Captain Goldgrass until his death. She taught abjuration magic at Stoneskeep University. Her teaching assistant was Drotel.

She was present at the trial and execution of her husband's killers, and openly suggested executing their newly-born daughter when she was revealed as a changeling. While Judge Mercure did not agree to kill the daughter, he did bequeath the entirety of the family's assets to Professor Goldgrass as bereavement compensation. (*A Changeling's Tale*)

22 years later, Spectra wound up in her abjuration class as part of the 315th class of Stoneskeep University. (*First Day of School*)
Mixed Lands

The **Mixed Lands** is a catch-all term for the greater untamed area of The Continent. It consists of many disparate self-governed city-states surrounded by countless miles of untamed wilderness teeming with monsters and various biomes. The Genasi Empire is currently waging all-out war on the Mixed Lands in its quest to conquer the rest of the continent.

## Population

As its name would suggest, the Mixed Lands house a wide array of different sentient species. Every city-state seen is filled with a melting pot of races, in stark contrast to the uniform Genasi Empire.

## Politics

The city-states of the Mixed Lands are independent and largely disconnected from each other. There is no major governing body and the vast majority of the land is untamed wilderness teeming with monsters, bandits, and other threats.

That being said, there are some elements of parallelism or overarching agreements amongst their laws, as The Jackal mentions that slavery is universally outlawed in the Mixed Lands. (*Skies of the Damned*)

## Settlements

* Midway Village
* Skiffway
* Loftlands
* Anchorstead
* Saltsborough
* Steeplepoint
* Hillsmeet

* Axrilas
* Dunmouth
* Duskvale

## Natural Landmarks

Fountaindrill

The **fountaindrill** is a large machine in the Blackfire Mines. A combination of water tanks, water hoses, and hydraulic jets, it's used both to mine maizite and for general drinking/bathing purposes for the miners. It requires Water Genasi magic to function properly.

It played a critical role in Haara's final fight against Umbra, after Haara's mentor used it to flood the chamber with steam and neutralize Umbra's truesight. (*The Lake of Fire*)
Cainnirth

**Cainnirth** was the dragon protector of the goblin tribe who lived within The Temple of Cainnirth. While Haara originally assumed this to be a specific dragon, she later learned that any dragon can seize the title, as Dirjik did to transform himself from a dragonborn to a bronze wyrmling. (*The Sinking Temple*)
Jarem

**Jarem** was a guard in Stoneskeep. He was guarding the Stoneskeep Bank (along with Syd) on the night Reuben Kryptke and his wife attempted to rob it by murdering Captain Goldgrass and having Reuben impersonate him.

Reuben lured Jarem away and killed him to obtain the key, but the couple was caught thanks to the suspicions of Lt. Woland. (*A Changeling's Tale*)
Rohet

Professor **Rohet** was a khenra teacher at Stoneskeep University. He specialized in Abyssal Studies, and dedicated his life to protecting the material plane from demonic influence. To that end, he underwent a series of expeditions with his pupil/assistant Fiora to plunder demonic tombs and destroy the remains of all five Demon lords.

He also served as Fiora's sponsoring faculty member for the graduate qualifiers, before he revoked his sponsorship at the university's request. (*The Witch's Sacrifice*)

Goblin shaman

The **goblin shaman** was a member of the united orc tribes assembled at the desert settlement. She wore a necklace reading "*blood-kin*" in orcish, suggesting she was considered an honorary orc.

She participated in the negotiations over Spectra's map while the tribes decided where to place the infernal embassy, and later cast *magic circle against evil* when fighting broke out. (*Trapped Among Orcs*)
Colton Shay

**Colton Shay** was a human lumberjack and equstrian from Anchorstead. He rode an elk in the Stoneskeep Equestrian Tournament which Kay'la competed in.

He ended up coming in ninth, after losing a photo-finish skirmish with Kay'la to become the final qualifier for the second event. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Qalek

**Qalek** was the satyr owner and ringleader of the Stoneskeep circus. (*A Changeling's Tale*) He was a stern, dismissive, and money-grubbing employer who was also operated numerous illegal initiatives under the table.

He would regularly speak sylvan to Spectra to ensure others couldn't eavesdrop on their conversations, especially when discussing things of a sensitive or illegal nature. (*The Forest of Terrors*) He would do anything to make profits, even continue running his brothel during holidays where businesses were supposed to close. (*Lost in the Faewilds*)
Megrez

Megrez can launch Water, Fire, and Thunder attacks. Their base attacks, like Sky Blow, Sun Split, and Chiyao, can deal tremendous amounts of single-target DMG with different attributions.

Their active skills, like Frost Lead, Chill Jade, and Tomb, can increase DMG when enemies assume a special status like "Freeze" or "Waning Moon".

Lastly, when Megrez engage in battle against an enemy, the enemy may inflict debuffs on your Magrez. So if Megrez utilize skills like Icy Moon, Red Lotus, and Sky Jail, these skills may actually help remove debuffs on Megrez.
Spectra

**Spectra** is the focal character and protagonist of the *Curse of Nudity* series.

## Character Sheet

Spectra's starting character sheet was as follows:

*Name: Spectra (Female Changeling, Level 0)*

*Alignment: Neutral Good*

*Appearance: Light gray eyes, ghostly white skin, colorless hair, 21 years old*

*Custom Background: Prostitute (two skills & two tools, ‘By Popular Demand’ feature)*

*STR 8 (-1)*

Upon reaching level 1, Spectra became a Celestial Warlock, gained proficiency in Deception, Intimidation, and simple weapons, and learned the spells *Prestidigitation, Eldritch Blast, Light, Sacred Flame, Charm Person,* and *Comprehend Languages.* Her cursed necklace also became an arcane focus.

At level 2, she learned the Eldritch Invocations 'Agonizing Blast' and 'Armor of Shadows', as well as the spells *Hex* and *Mage Armor*, the latter of which she can cast at will.

At level 3, she learned Pact of the Blade, swapped 'Agonizing Blast' to 'Improved Pact Weapon,' and gained the spell *armor of agathys*.

At level 4, she increased her Charisma to 18 and her age to 22, and gained the spells *minor illusion* and *spider climb*.

## Character background

Spectra was born to Reuben Kryptke and his wife on the day they were both executed for murdering Captain Goldgrass and sentry Jarem in a scheme to rob the Stoneskeep Bank. On the advice of Chancellor Bryc, Judge Mercure ordered Spectra to wear a cursed necklace that destroyed any clothes she wears, to prevent her from using her changeling abilities for impersonation or thievery.

Spectra eventually got a job at Qalek's circus, suffering from constant mistrust and prejudice at the hands of the other townsfolk. When not at work, she'd often sneak out to her parents' abandoned tailory and sew fabulous dresses of every make and model, having something of a fascination with clothing.

One day, while returning from a visit to the tailory, Spectra was attacked and mortally wounded by a jackal ambush. Before she died, she was accidentally rescued by a fallen deva's healing aura, who had just been banished to the material plane. After she shapeshifted into Ciana to let him 'apologize' to her face-to-face, he gifted her magical abilities and a purple crystal through which she can cast spells. Ever since then, she's worked to develop her new powers despite her uncaring and unsupportive living situation.

## Trivia

* Spectra also appears in chapters 8 and 13 of *The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*.
* Spectra has an NPC statblock released on D&D Beyond.
* According to a post on the author's DeviantArt page, Spectra's birthday is October 29th.
Caparon

**Caparon** was one of the pegasi in the Storm Lord's flock, and tended to serve as something of a spokesperson for the herd.

Haara convinced him and the other pegasi to join her in fighting the Skyswimmer (and its envoy of harpies and Giant Vultures) to save the survivors of the crashed zeppelin. (*Skies of the Damned*)
Sparky's sword

**Sparky's sword** is a +1 magic claymore crafted by Sparky Dustfellow.

He wielded it on his expedition to the black obelisk, where he used it to stab his traveling companion to death and travel through time. Due to the rules of magic in the new time period, the sword gained sentience and the ability to talk.

Later, when Kay'la traveled through time and stole it from his camp, the sword allied with her under promise she'd leave it behind when she left. She ultimately fulfilled this promise, leaving it stabbed in a boulder for future generations to discover. (*The Naked Misadventures of Kay'la*)
Enos Abascal

Maria and David's father. Ends up being the second in command in hell or purgatory. Continues to interfere in his daughter's life from down under. It is revealed that Maria's boyfriend and neighbour was in fact her... father, Enos. Talk about Targaryen/Lannister-esque with an ample garnishing of deception.

## Enos Abascal

### Relatives

Deanna/Claire (Wife)
Maria Abascal (Daughter)
David Abascal (Son)

### Occupation

second in command in hell and/or purgatory (currently)
Franq

**Franq** was an elven crewman on the zeppelin. He became the arbiter in Haara and Vogurr's game of Fate's Mate due to owning a tarot deck.

After their perilous ascent through the Apex Pikeline, Franq audibly disagreed with both the crewmen threatening mutiny and the ones wanting to rat the ship out to pirates.

He was last seen during Haara's arrival to fight the skyswimmer, meaning he survived the events of the story. (*Skies of the Damned*)
