Ilia Litriya

> He said there are no gods. How do we **know** they're there? Yerta never talks back to me when I talk to her. Trina never answers back. It's not fair they ask so much but don't talk to me. It's not fair I have to pay for what Trina did.
>
> -**Ilia**, Chapter 18, page 9

**Ilia Litriya** is a younger twin at Litriya Shrine. She was selected as the sacrifice for The Sister's Day, or Tirnasday, Crescian year 416.

## Appearance

Ilia is a tall young woman who has dyed her hair light blue.

## Relationships

### Inis Litriya

Ilia's elder twin who is uncomfortable with Ilia's doubts about the Gefendur gods and reluctance to go through with the sacrifice.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

Ilia chose to flee her assigned at birth duty of being sacrificed and eaten as her questions and doubts about her faith came to a head. She tried to run away, and when Lori chased her, fled into the Inaktown beneath Litriya Shrine just in time for the self destruct of the hidden construct facility also beneath the Shrine to be set off. She was killed in the resulting explosion, her body uncovered minutes later by her friends as they grabbed pieces of wood hoping to get across the water rapidly filling the cavern in which the destroyed Inaktown lay.
Elka

Elka in her uniform

**Elka** is Captain Toma's right hand man, and a low-ranking Lieutenant in the Crescian Peaceguard. Her specializations are pymary, wright suppression, and baton-based melee combat. Fiercely loyal to Toma, she's at the same time tired of chasing slavers so far from home and eager to get back to Cresce.

## Appearance

A muscled well endowed young woman with a strip of her short black hair dyed blue at her forehead.

## Background

"Her parents are both vets, dad’s now a cop in Fluirstadt, mom’s in resource management." Elka’s family are a "lot like Elka. Rambunctious, smart, loving assholes. Mom and dad were on the same construct crew when they fell in love. Dad was the pilot and mom was one of his support wrights. They got married after five years of service then returned to the capital, where Elka and her older brother were born not long after. Their parents wanted them both to go into constructs too, but Elka’s brother is a Captain in the Army and Elka is a high-ranked wright in the Queen’s Peaceguard and Lieutenant to the famous Captain Emil Toma, so they don’t have much to complain about.
Family gatherings are extremely loud affairs with everyone shouting their exploits at each other and Elka and her bro in fierce competition for the most head pats. Elka’s mom nags her sometimes about getting a husband and making some grandbabies, but Elka’s brother is probably going to beat her to it.
" Her brother is married and Elka really likes her sister-in-law.

## Personality

She's a good friend and fiercely loyal, with a practical head on her shoulders. But she's got a bad temper and very little patience, and she can be something of a bully - not necessarily out of meanness, but out of mild amusement at watching people squirm. She's also very bigoted towards Sharteshanians, thinking them all criminals due to the controlling element the criminal factions have in the country.

## Recent Events (spoiler)

### Book I

#### Chapter 2

Coming across the aftermath of Duane Adelier and Sette Frummagem rescuing some Ulestrian milkmaids from the Red Berry Boys Elka, Toma and Petr arrest Bett and hear an explosion in the distance.

## Notes

* At one point Ashley mentioned "Elka’s parents and her sisters", but has only talked of her having a brother since.

King Tidings

**King Tidings** is the king of Sharteshane at the time of Book I.

## Appearance

Overweight balding man with blue eyes and a grey mustache.

## Background

Put on the throne by Jab Beadman as the latest in a line of puppet kings.

> Sharteshanians mostly ignore politics - [...] they have other things to worry about - and those who do pay attention don’t often know just what their monarch’s like. [...] Sette has no idea what King Tidings looks like or how he acts. Unless he goes and gets Sharteshanians involved in a war, or raises taxes to some insane amount, or outlaws BJs in the street, no one really cares what he does.
> The royal family gets a little more attention. There are some cute princes and princesses that citizens like to fuss over.

## Background

During the Foi-Hellick Affair she was one of the Crescians to sneak Roger Foi-Hellick back into Alderode, and then escort him back to Cresce, in order to appease Lowing Shaensigin and get her to tell them how they could dismantle the Dammakhert.

## Personality

Nora feels like the Aldish are monsters after what she saw the government was able to force their citizens to do, warping their minds. She doesn't seem to see the hypocrisy of doing monstrous things for her own government in response.

## Relationships

* **Maharaishala Sonorie** -

* **Lori Ripa** -

* **Roger Foi-Hellick** -

* **Vienne Quigley** -

## Recent Events (Spoilers)

Evelyn Five-Eyes (Character)

**Evelyn Five-Eyes** is an efheby Bastion Winalils met years prior to the events of *Unsounded: Book I*. The unsettling and explicit story of their meeting is a Patreon exclusive tale, but the event is mentioned in passing by Bastion in *Unsounded* itself.

## Appearance

A large snake with a female humanoid tentacled torso and head, with three-fingered hands at the end of her arms and an extra smaller set of arms and three-fingered hands at the sides of her head. Her "Five-Eyes" sobriquet comes from the eye-like patterns in her scales.

## Personality

Evelyn has a taste for memories of extremes of pain and pleasure, and was thus sought out by Bastion while he was trying to deepen his understanding of Thierry Delicieu's work.

Elleri

**Elleri** was a part of Ricker's amoral Lions of Mercy squad.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

While sacking Litriya Shrine and looking for the secret construct facility hidden beneath it Elleri stopped to rape Ilia Litriya when he encountered her in the halls. His neck was broken by Boo before he could do so when the construct wrapped its First Silver tail around his throat and squeezed to stop him.
Petr

**Petr** is a member of the Crecsian Royal Peaceguard serving under Captain Emil Toma.

## Appearance

Petr is a large man with a wide nose who wears his full Peaceguard uniform including the helmet. His badge is that of the Crecsian Royal Peaceguard and is thus a metal relief of the Sonorie seal stretched into the oval of a Peaceguard badge.

## Background

Peter, along with Captain Toma, Lieutenant Elka, Siwl and Maike have been tracking the Red Berry Boys in Ulestry for months.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

Upon investigating an explosion in the forest Petr, Elka and Toma discover the Red Berry Boys hidden hideout. They enter and run right into Sette Frummagem trying to flee whom Elka thinks guilty of some kind of collusion due to her being from Sharteshane. Petr grabs her as she tries to run past, as regardless of why she's there she needs to be questioned at least and ends up with his arm cut off for his trouble when Duane Adelier comes to his charge's assistance. Duane heard her cries for help and combined with the stress over finding Cara dying further inside the hideout and his hatred of Crescians thought they were hurting her and didn't hesitate to cause such a grievous injury. Petr's sister came to meet him at the Knobbytop Patrol House where they discussed arm simulacrum options with Elka and his sister agreed to get him home to Cresce before having an artificer fit him for one.
Dani Ripa

Dani on the Ch 11 Cover

**Dani Ripa** was the son of Rahm the Raptor and Iori Ripa. He was killed in an accident involving experimental pymary.

## Background

Dani and Rahm were Ethelmik's lead wrights and won the town a royal commission. They worked for six months to create a pymaric machine that allowed "independent direct flight." When the time for the demonstration came, Rilursa Sonorie, sister and heir to Queen Maharaishala Sonorie, and the entire town turned out to watch. Due to an unexplained accident, though, the Khert leeched Dani out of existence and removed the visual aspect of Rahm's legs.
Morgen

**Morgen** is a Crescian state owned saddle hound lent out to various Peaceguard officers. Elka had Morgen assigned to her while she was hunting the Red Berry Boys, and left him safely in Mulimar.

L. Nero

**L. Nero** is an officer in the Ethelmik watch.

## Personality

Considered a bit of a ponce by the criminals at the Deadly Nevergreen for his high minded ideas and concerns.

## Recent Events

Was the last of Ethelmik's constables to be captured by Elka. Unless the L. of his first name stands for Lima, a constable reported to have fled before Ethelmik's destruction, he is almost certainly dead.
Segil

> The gods knew what they were doin'. I don't want a thousand lives stuck in my head; stupid with someone else's pain
>
> -**Segil**, Chapter 10, page 26

**Segil** is a Wright with a plod license who uses his plods to do illicit smuggling work for Stockyard Frummagem beneath the Deadly Nevergreen.

## Appearance

Segil has long hair that's tied in a low long tail in the back with his fringe cut to chin length. He wears a wright's cap with a metal winged ornament and a short shirt beneath his open jacket.

## Personality

A mellow individual whose job means he's had a lot of time to ruminate on just how he feels about life, death and the boundary between the two.

## Relationships

### Toby

Segil has a casual and friendly working relationship with Stockyard's strongest enforcer. The two of them discuss death with Segil saying he thinks the khert taking their memories apart is better, as he doesn't want to be stuck within his mind when he's done with it. Toby disagrees, feeling unsettled that a person's life is reduced to disconnected memories after death that then can end up pulled out and used by some wright.

### Anadyne Frummagem

Segil respects Anadyne's capabilities as a wright.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 10: The Deadly Nevergreen, Pt. 2

Segil's plods are hired by Stockyard to help move the First Silver of the Shatterstar Cache as no human crew wants anything to do with the horrifying and tortured vessels the silver is contained in, nor the smoke eels the haunted contraband keeps summoning from the khert. He realizes that the job is dangerous after a pair of smoke eels manage to bite his hand, and asks if his crew can leave since they've got the Silver loaded on a boat. Toby apologizes and says there's a shipment headed to Inga he needs the Segil's plods for since all of Toby's men went with Ana to hunt down Toma. As they're loading the shipment Segil decides the silver's ghosts are getting too dangerous and tells Tavi to help him load up their plods as they're quitting and getting out of there. He made his realization too late as since while harnessing their plods up to leave the Silver takes its monstrous eel form and Segil and Tavi end up trapped with it beneath the Nevergreen. He calls Ana over when Stockyard is yelling for help, but neither wright manages to save him, and then Segil is skewered and killed as the Silver Eel yanks him in to use his body for parts.

His Silver puppeted corpse is later smashed to bits against the silver puppeted corpse of one of his former plods which had fed on him by Duane Adelier when they both creep out of the hold of Stockyard's ship to attack those trying to fight off or escape the Silver in the Nevergreen's basement.

*Evelyn Five-Eyes* is an explicit Patreon exclusive sidestory featuring the titular efheby preying on Bastion Winalils. As the story is behind a (low) paywall its details here are limited to the Content Warning that it contains explicit nonconsensual and gross elements. The story is set prior to *Unsounded* and its events are obliquely referenced by Bastion in *Unsounded: Book I,* though his memory of the events had been recently edited by the time he brought them up due to the efheby venom knife Darkest Paul cut him with.
Vickers

## Potential Spoilers for Potential Tales!!

### Vickers is a character from the unfinished Morningmont story which Ashley has indicated she may yet tell in full. Nothing about the tale is set in stone as none of it has been published or otherwise released in comic or prose format.

**Vickers** was the vliegeng handler for the Winalils family kussenna, Morningmont. They and Marhettin Winalils were in love and planning to run away together at the time of their deaths.

## Background

Vickers wanted more than anything to become a vliegeng handler, but couldn't do so because they were a woman. They became a Third Option to overcome this barrier but still considered themselves a woman and acted as one in their private life.

## Notes

* Vickers was to be a major player in the Morningmont story which Ashley was working on before making *Unsounded*. The story remains Bastion's backstory but hasn't been released. Synopses of sections of the once planned novel have been uploaded to Ashley's tumblr. All bits of the Morningmont story known are subject to Ashley's rule that nothing is set in stone until published in *Unsounded* or another of her works.

Rroan

**Rroan** is an adolescent Inak who has lived his entire life in the Inaktown beneath Litriya Shrine.

## Appearance

Rroan has orange-tan skin like his uncle Masek and a pointed nose. His crest is a simple frill, and he wears a black feather collar with eye-like red glass beads called Eyes of Ilganyag in it along with vambraces.

## Personality

Rroan is frustrated with the limitations placed on his people and himself, and feeling very cooped up as he is of the age at which Inak males traditionally left home to roam and find other clans. He's upset with how the state of Cresce has slaughtered the Inak, stolen their lands and tries still to erase their culture while treating them as servants at best.

## Relationships

### Masek

Rroan's uncle, whom he has both respect and annoyance with and against whom he's starting a fairly normal teen rebellion made far more dangerous by combination with his yearnings for free Inak and a rebellion against the state of Cresce.

### Waumsresh

One of Rroan's two closest compatriots who accompanies him on his attempts to undermine the Queen and take advantage of Lori's hospitality to steal from her.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

Rroan attacked the Lions of Mercy soldiers infiltrating Litriya Shrine mistakenly believing them to be Crescians coming to attack his people since Inak all over Cresce were being attacked, slaughtered and forced into concentration camps after some Inak in Sharteshane were accused of assassinating Rilursa Sonorie. He got his tail cut off by the first soldier he attacked and was dragged from the fight in the kitchens by Masek, who hoped to try and salvage the situation if the boys hadn't already damned them by attacking the Aldish invaders. Rroan was killed by the Lions of Mercy who Duane tossed into the hidden construct facility beneath Litriya using Pymary, bypassing the shrine above. They fatally wounded him and then tossed him at the door while opening it to distract any potential enemies on the other side, even though he was part of a group of Inak trying to propose an alliance with the Lions against Cresce. The cruel soldiers did so without thought for him, seeing him as nothing more than a beast due to their cruel interpretation of their Ssaelit scriptures.
Foi-Hellick Affair

The **Foi-Hellick Affair** was a decade long Aldish civil war which ended about fifteen years prior to the beginning of Book I.

## History

The Foi and Hellick families were the two most powerful families in Avelpit, a ginnal of Alderode rich in First Materials and with a local culture that was as avoidant as possible of the oversight of the wider state. When the families solidified their power in Avelpit by getting married Ephilasia Sonorie, the Queen Sonorie of the day and grandmother to Maharaishala Sonorie, gifted them a saddlehound kitted out for battle and a sword, said by Alderode to have been her inviting them to war with implied Crescian backing.

## Factions

* Foi-Hellick Rebels/Vampires
	+ Roger Foi-Hellick
	+ Vampire
	+ Dhampir
	+ Eustace
* Crescian allies - (non-combatants, financial aid only)
	+ Ephilasia Sonorie
	+ Maharaishala Sonorie

	+ Nora Pris

* Lowing Shaensigin

		- William Argenti (Jr.)
		- Danila
		- Magnus
		- Darid
		- Ashley
		- Silas
		- Zinoviy
		- Evans
		- Morty
		- Martin
		- Henri

## Aftermath (spoilers)

Roger Foi-Hellick fled to Cresce and married Queen Maharaishala Sonorie as they played up public perceptions of them being in a relationship to hide their true reason for their alliance. This marriage, as presented to the public in both Alderode and Cresce is entirely a farce as while the pair are friends and confidants they have no romantic attraction to one another, with Roger being quite clear in private that he's never felt stirred by those of a female persuasion. Together they are still working to dismantle the Dammakhert, at the cost of Roger's mind and soul, since the Aldish state unwittingly turned his soul into a cypher for it when they struck him with the Etalarche Curse.
Moss Sonorie

**Moss Sonorie** is the niece of Queen Maharaishala Sonorie of Cresce and the chosen third in line to the throne of Cresce behind the Queen's sister Rilursa Sonorie, with her place in the succession agreed upon by the Queen, her sister and the Council of Four.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

After the assassination of Rilursa and Lord General Kima Bell managing to replace at least one member of the Council of Four with one of his loyalists and undermining the faith in at least one other in Maharaishala the queen is surprised during a Council meeting with the information that the Council no longer aprooves of Moss as heir to the throne, saying she's not warrior enough for them with the current renewed hostilities with Alderode. Some of the supposed Aldish attacks actually being attacks by Bell's loyalists, destroying cities and slaughtering innocents in a bid to disguise Bell's involvement with the Shatterstar Cache of First Silver and to paint the Queen in a worse and less effective light.
Pigs

**Pigs** are animals in Kasslyne that are regularly eaten and are a staple of Tirnasday festivities.

Laerfhel is an Aldish dish made using pork fat and garlic. In Cresce roast pork, the centerpiece of a Tirnasday meal, is served with roasted root vegetables and various sauces alongside compressed veggie sticks meant to be broken up and added to the sauce for a satisfying crunch.

In Sharteshane bacon is made from pig, while in Cresce it's generally made from turtle.

Murkoph

**Murkoph** is an undead sadist who Sette freed from his ghostly prison on her journey into the khert. Murkoph wishes very much to escape the khert entirely and be free to kill and eat people once again. He has historically been depicted as a rapist, murderer, and cannibal. Duane was forced to fight him off after he woke up in the khert, as Murkoph tried to escape through Duane's crepuscular portal by climbing his tethered soul.

Duane and Sette have both shown low opinions of Murkoph.

Interestingly, Murkoph's scars closely resemble the facepaint of Ssaelit priests during sermons.
Jarla Hens

**Jarla Hens** are a type of domesticated bird that are kept and raised for meat and eggs. They get their name from the series of rivers crossing Kasslyne that the locals bunch together as the River Jarla, though they know the stretch of water is not continuous.

## Trivia

Jarla Hens are comparable to and of similar size and appearance to chickens in the real world.
Bones and Stones

**Bones and Stones** is a gambling game played in Alderode. When Duane Adelier was in the military he would play Bones and Stones with fellow soldiers on long watches.

"It is [played] with a set of paired wooden tokens strewn across a gridded playing field. You must use stones to knock pairs into the same square, to varying effect. Two hounds calls for a new throw of tokens, two vliegeng for an additional throw of the stone, two roses for a manual reposition of any single token, and so on. The first to match three pairs wins the game."

Yuma

Constable **Yuma** is a chain smoking watch officer in Ethelmik.

## Appearance

An aging gentleman whose starting to grow a bit of a belly. He has a hook nose and black hair. Yuma pretty much always has a Purple Weed cigarette clamped in his lips.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 8: Masks

When Jivi Flask and Matty Quigley come to the Constabulary to turn in the Red Berry Boys and report on the Shatterstar Cache being given to the Frummagems Yuma is manning the desk. Unbeknownst to the boys Yuma is in league with the Frummagems and tries to turn them over to them along with his coworker nicknamed Hamsteak by Elka. Elka and Emil Sava-Toma rescue the boys and imprison Yuma, Marj, Vale and Vale's partner.

### Chapter 9: The Deadly Nevergreen

Yuma and every other constable in town is freed from the cells beneath the Constabulary when Sette Frummagem sets off an explosion and frees Jivi and Matty from the cell next to the one in which Elka has imprisoned the entire constable force due to the collusion of most of them with the Frummagems.

### Chapter 11: Only A Cause

Yuma reports to "Marj" that constables Wick and Lima have skipped town and the biggest piece of Perk he could find was his foot, guessing the other officer was blown up in the chaos of the night before. He asks her if they should leave town, but she says they should stick around and just play dumb if asked questions, saying that since it seems Emil Toma died the night before it'll be just his lieutenant Elka's word against every constable in town and they can make themselves look innocent of any connection to the mess the night before. Yuma gets his throat slit by Hart Hetr when Hetr returns to Ethelmik to raze it and slaughter everyone in it on Kima Bell's orders in order to cover up Bell's involvement with the Shatterstar Cache.
Plays

Gefendur shrines put on pageants during feast days.

Aldish operas are very different from and more stogy than Crescian plays. *"Crescian plays - and pageants for that matter - tend to be lines spoken atop orchestrated score, with instrumental stings and interludes for added drama. In the play, Quigley tearing through the Windows office would be accompanied by ear-splitting percussion and gongs and a pymaric lightshow to simulate the spellwork and fires. Opera and musical theatre are not favoured in Cresce - they’re too “Aldish” and melodramatic."*

## The Cream of The Crop: Platinum Rage

The popular Crescian play about Quigley's escape from Alderode written by Anya Hirz. Paints Quigley as a tragic hero and is structured in three acts.

Boo

**Bugaboo Frummagem** is a spider pymaric recruited by Sette from the Red Berry Boys. She found Boo in the crypt where Cara and Jivi were held, left behind by the Red Berry boys because it was broken. "Boo should be a mindless trap-weaving pymaric construct; instead some ghosts got inside of him and now he has a willful personality." Boo has shown itself to be resourceful, loving, and with a moral compass.

Boo was also able to overcome being consumed by the silver monster below the Deadly Nevergreen.
Karlot

**Brother Karlot** is a Black Tongue who supports Darkest Paul and accompanied him to Cresce.

## Appearance

Brunette man with an impressive set of eyebrows and matching mustache.

## Appearance

Thin severe aging woman with her blonde hair in a crown braid with the remainder primly swept back into a white snood edged with a green ribbon.

Rebellion

Rebellion is the act of organizing an uprising against the established authority. This is a crime punished with execution in Cresce and Alderode, though in Sharteshane where the true powers that be are crime families hidden behind their bought public politicians it is traditional for the family head to be murdered by one of their children as a means of succeeding them. The March is a known rebel group in Alderode and the Foi-Hellick Affair was a civil war caused by Avelpit rebelling against Aldish rule. The Mmatont are religious Tainish rebels who have taken over the island of Anchert from Alderode and want to separate all of ancient Tain from it's current Aldish rule.
Bloedlus IV

Liirr has a ruffled crest and his dewlap tattooed with an Inak skull in profile atop black and red stippling.

## Background

Liirr has lived his entire life in the Inaktown beneath Litriya Shrine, but yearns for something more and is restless with the stories of his people's days before their discovery and forced removal from their ancestral lands by Cresce. He is close with two others of his clan close to his age, Rroan and Waumsresh, and the three of them have become troublemakers as their instincts and traditions make them want to wander, but their position and the politics of Cresce force them to stay in their village despite males of their age traditionally joining roving hunting groups.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

Liirr was killed by Ricker with a battle axe in the kitchens of Litriya when the Lions of Mercy were infiltrating the shrine.
Chapter 3

Coverpage of Chapter 3

Chapter 3, A Miserable Drizzle began posting on [DATE]. Its tag line reads "In Which Skies & Temperaments Are Begloomed"

## Synopsis

Hours later, the Red Berry Boys' leader, a crabby man named Starfish, is begging white-haired Aldish wright Mathis Quigley to rejoin their gang. Quigley is reluctant to deal with children, but finally relents when Starfish offers both more money and the children's eventual release. The news dispirits Quigley's son Matty, who was hoping they would leave the foul work behind at last and travel to Sharteshane.

Waiting out the rain at a waystation, Sette stocks up on supplies as Duane recovers from their ordeal in the crypt. Returning with new clothes, Sette finds the zombie agitated and suspicious. He demands to know how they have come to be so far west and near the country of Cresce. He's adamant against entering Cresce, damning the country's people, its Queen, and even the Gefendur gods at large. Sette insists that she has no choice but to keep pushing them west and that if she fails in her mission for her father, she'll never be allowed to run the family herself - and in fact, her father may let the rest of the family dispose of her. Distraught, Duane reveals that the recently spilled blood awakened an unnatural hunger in him, one endemic to creatures of his composition, and that nearing Cresce will do no good things for his self-control. Still, he relents, and Sette promises they are almost at their destination. With the Peaceguard on their tail, they flee into the rain.

Peaceguard

The **Peaceguard** act as Cresce's elite military police, enforcing Cresce's will and protecting Cresce's interests both domestically and in her allies' lands. The Peaceguard have a positive reputation among most of Kasslyne's population, known for policing disaster areas, providing support to local authorities in times of crisis, mediating international disputes, and ferreting out Aldish spy and terrorist networks.

Cresce's allies being numerous and her land holdings being expansive, the Peaceguard is a large organization stretching from coast to coast. Though the use of force is often inescapable, Peaceguard stress their roles as ambassadors, and are trained to put the welfare of their host country on par with Cresce's own. They are not beloved everywhere they patrol, Sharteshane finds them irritating busybodies at best and the country has not forgotten Cresce's role in the loss of Hanret to Rachshane.

In times of war or national emergency, the Peaceguard can be recalled to Cresce and the capital.

## Uniform

Peaceguard captains wear red and their their first officers wear turquoise.  Second officers wear navy, pymary specialists wear white and everyone else is in powder blue. Centered on their chest is the badge denoting which station they're assigned to, or in the case of the queen's own guard the seal of house Sonorie.

## Members

* Lord General Kima Bell - Peaceguard are the Queen's, but work with him. He commands the Crescian military.
* Captain Emil Toma
* Lieutenant Elka
* Captain Hart Hetr

Chocolate

Chocolate is a prostitute in the Crescian border town Ethelmik. Her real name is unknown but she was introduced in a song by the Nevergreen staff in the lyrics "We got whips and gags, twinks and hags in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry" with the chocolate referring to her brown complexion and hair.

## Appearance

A busty brunette woman with eyes that match her dark hair.

## Background

A young brunette woman working for Stockyard Frummagem as a prostitute at his illicit Deadly Nevergreen brothel.

## Personality

Chocolate seems like an empathic woman who cares about her coworkers.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 9

"Chocolate" helps Dawn present the song welcoming Duane Adelier and Sette Frummagem to the Deadly Nevergreen, meant as a distraction ordered by Anadyne Frummagem. Once Sette is in her meeting whe Stockyard Frummagem Chocolate along with her gren haired and blonde green hatted co-workers are assinged to keep Duane distracted and entertained until nightfall. Chocolate falls asleep listening to him dully recite from *Songs of Ssael*.

### Chapter 10

"Chocolate" is trapped in the Deadly Nevergreen by the Shatterstar Cache. Unable to make it to, let alone out, any doors or windows safely as the thorny silver twines its way through the building and those within it she flees downstairs using the elevator alongside "Vanilla", shirt averse twink, long green haired and short cropped orange haired co-workers. After "Vanilla" is grabbed by the Cache's main body and then rescued by Duane she escorts "Vanilla" back to the elevator where they decide to go back up to get away from the violence downstairs. As the elevator rises the First Silver stabs through their green haired coworker while she voices concerns about leaving the catatonic Anadyne Frummagem and bloodied Knock-Me-Down Frummagem behind, then yanks her impaled body from the lift, breaking the doors. The group from the elevator is later seen hiding in an alcove with "Hamsteak" where they narrowly avoid the Silver breaking in when it turns to defend its main body as Duane and Emil Sava-Toma kill the tortured slaves it grew in and incorporated into its twisted form, freeing them from the Silver's grip.

### Chapter 11

When Hart Hetr returns to Ethelmik and uses battlewrights and Firelopers to destroy the town and butcher the populace on Kima Bell's command "Chocolate" is with Dawn, who orders those with her to flee out of town into the mountains.

Molly Kilpenny

**Molly Kilpenny** was a woman in the village of Seferpine. She was married to Vienne Quigley's forge manager Gerald Kilpenny.

## Background

The unfounded but persistent rumors that Gerald was having an affair with his boss Vienne drove Molly to flee to her sisters house and give him an ultimatum to quit working at the forge or she wouldn't return. He ended up dragging her out of her sister's house and hitting her across the face to get her to "let" him continue his work without her trying to leave him. He ended up in a drunken stupor afterwards, in a kind of shock that her fighting with him over a non-existent affair, and threatening his work, had gotten to a point where he'd hit her. When he came to the forge drunk that night he was followed by or led a Window agent, who Molly may or may not have been trying to sell Vienne out to.
Gruftgramary

**Gruftgramary** is a corruption of Old Tainish created by the shadowy organization known as the Black Tongues. Using this syntax to create and invoke spells enables a unlicensed wright (or gruftgrammer) to bypass official regulations on pymary. The illegal pymary that results is often unpredictable and dangerous, prompting most countries to brand gruftgrammars as criminals of the worst kind.

Despite its considerable risks, gruftgramary in the hands of a skilled practitioner can be customized to the user's whims and is much more versatile than ordinary pymary, giving the wright who dares to use it a distinct advantage.
Ricker

**Ricker** is a sadistic soldier in the Aldish Ssaelit Lions of Mercy.

## Appearance

Portly blonde man with a long nose, customized lion armor and an eye-patch.

## Personality

Rapist and war criminal. Despite reveling doing monstrous things which go against the tenants of Ssaelit teachings he still considers himself devout.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 12: The Collar of Kasslyne

Ricker was involved in the attack on the Crescian soldiers on the bank of the River Jarla, where he lost an eye to the Fireloper pilot Jana, but killed her in turn.

### Chapter 16: Passionate Intensity

Led the assault on Litriya Shrine, ostensibly scouting for intelligence on the rumored construct facility beneath it but also with plans to loot the place and force himself on any of the inhabitants he and his men came across, where he got his entire squad killed and was himself killed when Emil Sava-Toma put his sword through his head.
Shadwe Grandvin

**Shadwe Grandvin** is the Shadwe of the Ssaelit Temple of Song in Durlyne.

## Appearance

Thin older man with long black hair and a pointed nose.

## Relationships

### Duane Adelier

Granvin is impressed by Duane's work and ethics and has supported his rise through the temple ranks. He proposed that Duane be given the very prestigious promotion to composer, despite the backlash against a Soud getting such a high position.

### William Argenti (Sr.)

Argenti stands at the Shadwe's right hand as a protector and advisor.

### Bastion Winalils

Considered something of Granvin's pet Black Tongue due to Granvin's familiarity with the healer working in the Weeping Plague devastated Fachlyne.

### Councilor Bodie

Bodie is a cruel minded warmonger, and one of the four most powerful people in Alderode. Grandvin's persona is far more kind and opposed to unnecessary bloodshed so the two rarely agree at meetings, though Grandvin is not nearly so animated in his defense of his own position as Bodie.
Blythe Sevencrow

**Blythe Sevencrow** is an Aldish gangster based out of Sevencrow Court.

Siwl

**Siwl** is a member of the Crescian Royal Peaceguard serving under Captain Emil Sava-Toma and Lieutenant Elka.

## Background

Siwl serves alongside the Inak tracker Maike, who is not legally considered a true member of the Peaceguard and treated more like a hound than a person in the eyes of the law. It is unclear if Siwl treats her like her own person, or more like a subhuman pet as is common in Cresce where Inak have been slaughtered, forced from their homelands, had their possessions and homes stolen, forced into servitude and forced to give up their gods and religion for the state religion which considers them soulless beasts that can be killed without remorse. When Elka's shouted goodbye to Siwl is to "keep that lizard in line" Siwl just replies that he will, but this very public and rushed interchange isn't a great place to look for indications of Siwl's true feelings or treatment of their co-worker.

## Recent Events

### Chapter 4:

While trying to track the Red Berry Boys Siwl looses track of Maike in the brush, and is concerned they're both going to get eaten by a Grebber. Siwl stumbles upon an injured Maike in Sette and Duane's camp from the night before. He's amused to see that Sette does indeed have a tail and tries to arrest her and Duane, Duane easily defeats him in a fight, breaking his arm. When Duane raises Siwl's own sword to kill him Siwl begs for mercy, but Duane's hand is only stayed by Sette yelling at him that he can't kill the guy for simply doing his job given he's already down for the count and unarmed, and Duane knocks him out instead. Duane makes it clear he was going to kill him for being Crescian, and for accusing him of murdering Cara since the Peaceguard at this point thinks they're affiliated with the Red Berry Boys given Emil's group fist encountered Sette and Duane in the Red Berry Boys' hideout. Sette loots his Sem, knives and jewelry while he is unconscious.

### Chapter 8: Masks

Siwl travels north with Maike and a column of conscripts as they are ordered further into Cresce due to renewed hostilities with Alderode, leaving his captain and lieutenant behind in Ethelmik.
Amalessurkh

**Amalessurkh** was once one of the major gods of the Inak whose lands and homes were unearthed by Cresce, and were subsequently displaced by Cresce in their efforts to take all of the resources the Inak had and force the Inak to give up their religions and become a servant race. Their clan, or family, the Children of Amalessurkh, still persists despite its broken nature.
Dawn

Dawn remembering her son

> Monsters, smoke eels, ghosts...one **deals.** But there's no dealin' with the **state.**
>
> -****Dawn****, Chapter 11, page 13

Dawn was the madame in charge of the prostitutes working for Stockyard Frummagem at the Deadly Nevergreen in Ethelmik.

## Appearance

Dawn is a woman with dark skin and long hair who wears a Pymaric that turns her hair glowing blue and gold.

## Background

Dawn managed to rise to a management position at the Nevergreen in the year since its opening. She once had a stillborn son whose loss she still mourns.

## Personality

Dawn is kind and able to quickly step in and take charge of situations. She has a protective streak that includes worrying over her powerful boss possibly hurting a rather violent criminal child she'd only barely met, though she's talked out of checking the situation and getting herself in potentially deadly trouble.

## Relationships

### Sette Frummagem

Hangman (Game)

**Hangman** is a guessing spelling game played in Cresce. A board is drawn up with a set of spaces for the number of letters in the correct word, then the player guesses the word. If the word is correct they win, if incorrect the spaces are drawn again with the correct letters in the previous word added to them and incorrect letters each used to draw a corresponding part of the hanged man. This continues until the hanged man is complete and the player loses or the player guesses the correct word.

## In *Unsounded*

Some hound keepers caught Knock-Me-Down Frummagem attempting to steal one of their dogs and strung her up to a tree with a noose around her neck, forcing her to play hangman for her life. As she is illiterate her guesses were more desperate than considered, and when she guessed correctly at the last minute they accused her of cheating anyway with the eldest flipping the table and running forward to knock the stool out from under her feet.

## Trivia

Ashely described Crescian Hangman as a mashup of Wordle and Hangman after a reader noticed the game wasn't played like hangman in the real world.
