Kobold

**Kobolds**, derogatorily known as **critch**, are small goblins. They are small with their own language and culture. They do not speak English, and are often viewed as "primitive" or mistaken for animals.

Kobolds are sometimes kept as pets by aristocratic Burguish families. They are intelligent enough to be competent actors in plays put on by Runyan Millworthy.

## History

Kobolds maintained their own culture and spoke their own language; they did not speak human languages and were therefore often mistaken for being primitive or even unintelligent animals. Kobolds were impulsive but also highly intelligent. Because of these traits, they are generally misunderstood by humans.

## Appearance and biology

Kobolds are small and have leathery skin that acted as a natural form of armor.

The Port

**The Port** is a busy and bustling area of The Burgue.

## History

In a city like The Burgue, most of the industry was provided by factories running on coal-powered furnaces. The Port served to import and export all the goods the city needed to keep running, with multiple ships steaming in and out of port every week. With the large amount of ships arriving and departing daily, job opportunities are highly prized. With the arrival of the faefolk, and the fauns in particular, human dock-workers have found that they are capable of working longer and harder and for less pay.

Faun

Central to **faun** identity is the nation of Puyan, from which their mysterious religion originates. In The Burgue, fauns generally work in factories or as maids and groundskeepers. Natives to the cultural center of Puyan are referred to as Puyoc, which is where the derogatory term “puck” stems from.

## History

The faun originate from a band of countries along the west coast of Ignota. The faun are a very old race with a long, robust history, including a succession of empires, which have at times held colonies of their own on the Tirnanese mainland.

The center of faun identity is the nation of Puyan, which is the center for their religion. Fauns native to Puyan are known as Puyoc.

## Appearance and biology

Fauns have digitigrade legs similar to horses. On their heads were naturally growing horns. Generally curled, the horns shape and size depended on the region of Ignota they hailed from. The horns were used as natural weapons, which combined with their strong bones made fauns formidable and robust. They were hearty and resilient.

Martyrite Faith

The Martyrite Faith is worship of the Martyr Hosea. This is the principle religion in the Burgue. The Martyr is depicted as a hanged man and his monks often wear a noose around their necks as a necklace. A common prayer gesture is a circle motion around the chest. A common exclamation is "God's noose."

The religion is commonly regarded as being more conservative than the religion of Faeries, which is more accepting of homosexuality and sex in general.
Constabulary No. 6

**Constabulary No. 6** is a precinct in The Burgue responsible for law enforcement in the area south of the river known as Carnival Row.

## History

Constabulary No. 6 is police precinct with the responsibility for overseeing law enforcment and public area in the region south of the Beorn River, including Carnival Row. Of all the constabularies in The Burgue, No. 6 is considered to be the most disreputable.

While not publicly admitted, many of the police officers of Constabulary No. 6 really do not care for the resident faefolk on Carnival Row. Many resent their posting to No. 6 and merely want to get through their day without dealing with the residents of the Row. In some police officers, they actively like the fact that they have authority over the "critch" under their jurisdiction and liked to remind them of that fact. Others were actively members of the choppers, a group of humans who stoke racial tensions with the faefolk due to their dislike of them.

## Significance

Rycroft Philostrate was an inspector for Constabulary No. 6.

## History

Tirnanoc has a long and rich history consisting of many kingdoms.

***Fairishyn*** – aka Faerie (*fata nimfidia*). Derogatory Burgian terms for the faerie include “pix”, “tink”, and “locust”.

***Puyocs*** – aka Fauns (*faunus vulgar*) from the nations *Ildathach* and *Urisko* north of the Gulf of Anoun, and the nation of *Puyan* west of the Gulf on the continent of Ignotan. Derogatory Burgian terms for fauns include “puck”, and “trotter”.

***Jotun*** – aka Trow (*jotunus boreal*) from the land of *Jotunheim* (aka “the Trowlands”) northwest of *Urisko*. Derogatory Burgian terms for the trow include “brute”.

Kobolds – (*goblinus inferior*) from *The Isles of Knock* on the southern edge of the Tirnanese Sea (between Tirnanoc and *Puyan*).

Chancellor

The **Chancellor** is the head of government, head of state, and commander-in-chief of the Republic of The Burgue. The Chancellor and their family reside in a wing of Balefire Hall, atop King's Hill on the north bank of The Burgue.

In Burguish politics, the bicameral Parliament is responsible for electing the Chancellor. First, a general election is held, in which the residents of The Burgue vote to decide who will hold their precincts' seats in Parliament's Outer Chamber. The Outer Chamber then elects one of its members Chancellor by a majority vote, and appoints the members of the Inner Chamber in accordance with the Chancellor's wishes. In most cases, the Members of Parliament who are nominated for the Chancellorship election are the leaders of their respective political parties. In the event a sitting Chancellor dies in office, a family member inherits the position until the next election is called; no formal contingency exists for a situation in which a Chancellor dies with no heirs. New elections are called when the ruling party loses its majority, or the Chancellor loses a no-confidence vote.

As the head of Parliament, the Chancellor sets the body's schedule and can strike down any motion that they see fit. The Chancellor also serves as the leader of the Republic on the international stage, and commands the Burguish Army. During times of national crisis, the Chancellor also has the authority to charge individuals with treason, issue summary judgments, and order the immediate executions of convicts.

Black Raven

The **Black Raven** are are group of vigilante faeries that seek justice for harm done to their own kind.

## History

Black Ravens came into existence in the Burgue under seven years ago. They're mainly ex-blockade runners from the Wing Brigade. Proud faerish-homeland types without a homeland to fight for, just fighting to get by through any means, including running lots, gaming, contraband, potshine, lixer, etc.

Now, the Black Raven is a criminal organization that prizes loyalty above all else. The faerie's ability to fly made them ideal couriers, dealers, and even skilled killers. Because of the emphasis on loyalty, the Black Raven had no compunctions about turning on their own members who had betrayed the group.

Seven years after the end of the Second Tirnanese War, the Black Raven is led by Dahlia. Prior to leading the Black Raven, Dahlia was a lady's maid, though it wasn't a life suited for her.

Sylvanus

**Sylvanus** is a faun and former doctor who works as a butcher in Carnival Row.

## History

Prior to moving to Carnival Row, Sylvanus worked as a doctor in Puyan. After moving to The Burgue, he could not find work as a doctor and instead resorted to working as a butcher, along with his daughter, Callie.

When Aisling Querelle was murdered, Rycroft Philostrate called in Sylvanus to perform the autopsy since Magistrate Flute refused to both the coroner because she was a faerie. Sylvanus' autopsy revealed that Aisling's liver had been removed when she was killed, and that she had been pregnant at least once.

## Behind the scenes

The character was only credited as "Faun Butcher" in the cast credits for "Aisling". The name comes from the episode's subtitles which identifies the character.

Hector

**Hector** was a Pact soldier who had been purposefully infected with the Wolf's Curse to turn him into a Marrok. Hector, under the command of Arturo, was part of a trio of Pact soldiers sent to attack a Burguish company in the Tirnanese Highlands.

## Biography

Hector was a Pact soldier deliberately infected with the Wolf's Curse to turn him into a Marrok. Alongside two other Pact soldiers, Hector was given a catalyst to trigger the Marrok change without the need for a full moon and sent to attack a detachment of Burguish soldiers stationed at a mimasery.

Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine

The **Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine** is a 1944 updated version of the Russian model 1891 Infantry Rifle, chambered for the 7.62x54R cartridge.

## Use in *Carnival Row*

In *Carnival Row*, both Pact and Burgue forces appear to utilize the M44 Carbine variant as the standard issue weapon for infantry units. Both Commissioned and Non-Commissioned officers appear to be issued variants with full length, brass tube scopes. The scopes are offset, likely due to the fact that the bolt of the M44 is straight, and would be blocked by a scope mounted in the more conventional 12 o'clock position.

## Trivia

* When Philo looks through the scope on his rifle, no crosshairs or other reticles are visible. The sight picture appears to be that of an ordinary telescope.
* The M44 variant of the Mosin-Nagant comes with a side-mounted, folding bayonet. The bayonet is removed on all rifles seen in the production, but the mounting point can still be observed on the right side of the front portion of the barrel.
* It is curious that both the Pact and Burguish forces use the same weapon, despite being from geographically distinct regions. Considering that the Burgue seems to be culturally based off of England, it would make sense for Burguish soldiers to carry Lee-Enfield rifles.
Light of the Martyr Foundling Home

The **Light of the Martyr Foundling Home** is a religious home for orphaned human children found in Ragmire, a working class human neighbourhood of The Burgue. These children were at a disadvantage in life, but some of the orphans have been known to make a place for themselves in Burguish society.

## Significance

Orphaned as an infant, Rycroft Philostrate grew up in the Light of the Martyr Foundling Home alongside his longtime friend Darius Prowell.

Deliverance

The ***Deliverance*** was a sailing ship used to transport faefolk fleeing from Tirnanoc to The Burgue. The ship was underwritten by Ezra Spurnrose, who had sunk a significant portion of his family's fortune into outfitted and provisioning of the vessel, with the understanding that he would return a large sum of money from the fae paying for passage to The Burgue or through their indentured servitude.

The *Deliverance* took on a group of faeries organized by the sparrowhawk, Vignette Stonemoss. While crossing the Great Main to The Burgue, it was caught in a winter squall and when down with the loss of all hands except one: Vignette.

Politics of the Burgue

The Burgue is ruled by a Parliamentary Republic that is led by a Chancellor.

## Organisation

Parliament consists of a bicameral chamber: The Outer Chamber, consisting of a large number of elected representatives that deals with local issues, and an Inner Chamber that consists of a smaller number of appointed representatives focusing on national problems.

## Parties

There are two major political parties in The Burgue. The Commonwealth Party, led by Chancellor Breakspear and currently holding the majority in Parliament, is the older of the two. It is often accused of kowtowing to the special interests of the wealthy and well-to-do, but also speaks in favor of the rights of the immigrant otherkin that has recently arrived in the city.

On the other side of the aisle are the Hardtackers, a more nationalist group in support of humankind that has risen up in protest of the influx of immigrants. The Hardtackers up until recently were a footnote in the chamber until Ritter Longerbane cobbled together other small groups into what is now a formidable, albeit minority, political force.
Anoun

**Anoun**, formally the **Kingdom of Anoun** or **Dominion of Anoun**, is a country in northern Tirnanoc. It is a matriarchal monarchy ruled by a Queen, and its capital city is High Bresail. The population is primarily fae, but until recently the isolated Vitris Valley was also home to the last of the sparases, who were thought to have gone extinct centuries ago.

Seven years ago, Anoun was occupied by the Quivira-Cibola Pact, which defeated the Republic of The Burgue and the Anouni army in the Second Tirnanese War, also called the Great War of Tirnanoc. The Pact forbids any fae from attempting to leave Anoun, and is waging a campaign of genocide against them.

Carnival Row (TV series)

***Carnival Row*** is an American Victorian fantasy show that began streaming on Prime Video on Labor Day weekend. An Amazon Original production, it stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne and is executive produced by René Echevarria, Travis Beacham, Marc Guggenheim, Jon Amiel, and Bloom himself.

Its first season, which was released in 2019, consisted of eight, hour-long episodes. The series was picked up for a second season prior to the season 1 premiere, and was released in 2023 after a four-year hiatus.

## Synopsis

The series depicts a world of three major continents and several species — most of whom are locked in interracial conflict. Within this world exists a bustling place called Carnival Row where, when the series begins, we discover there have been a series of gruesome murders. Broadly, the series concerns the efforts of a human detective named Philo (Bloom) to solve the crimes, and what a faerie named Vignette (Delevingne) may — or may not — have to do with them.

Along the way, they both meet a variety of interesting characters and work against the political backdrop largely engineered by Chancellor Absalom Breakspear.

## Production

On January 9, 2015, it was announced that Amazon had signed a development deal for the series which, at the time had Guillermo del Toro on board as a co-writer, executive producer, and director. The series, set to be co-written by del Toro, Travis Beacham, and Rene Echeverria, is based on a feature film spec script written by Beacham, entitled *A Killing on Carnival Row*. The company ordered three scripts with the expectation that if the series went into production del Toro would direct the first episode. On June 6, 2016, it was reported that the production had been given a pilot order with the previously announced creative team still set to be involved.

In July 2019, Amazon renewed the series for a second season.

In March 2020, production was suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but two months later, it was resumed.

Production on the second season commenced in November 2019, but stopped in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. As of the first week of May, preparations for resumption of production were underway.

Carnival Row

**Carnival Row** is the once-informal name for the neighbourhood located on the south bank of the Beorn River in The Burgue. It is characterized by small streets and winding alleys. Formerly human, its inhabitants are now primarily immigrants from war-torn corners of the world, including fae, fauns, trow, and others.

## History

Officially known as Gloamingside, the neighborhood that would become known as "Carnival Row" is located on the south bank of the Beorn River that divided The Burgue. Carnival Row is characterized by small streets and winding alleys. A raising track runs through much of the neighborhood, with construction still ongoing.

Once a human neighborhood, Carnival Row eventually became the home of many of The Burgue's immigrants from war-torn countries, including faeries, fauns, trow, and other species.

Carnival Row earned its name due to its original roots; before the Second Tirnanese War, faerish immigrants to The Burgue from Tirnanoc came to strength relationships with the human nations. Gloamingside became the center of enchanting sights and sounds, amazing performances and performers from a faerish nations. Its new name, "Carnival Row", was earned because humans saw beautiful acts and heard haunting songs the likes of which they had never seen before. Fae culture was celebrated, not hated. In essence, it was a literal carnival atmosphere that filled its streets.

These first fae were regarded with wonder by the people of The Burgue. It was a kind of renaissance, with the cultural wealth of a previously unknown people laid bare before a fascinated human public, though the carnival atmosphere betrayed a troubling hint of fetishisation that foreshadowed the naked resentment endured by more recent emigres to neighbourhood.

Now, seven years after the end of the war, Carnival Row is an impoverished and crowded neighborhood. The fae immigrants are looked upon as a burden and with scorn, and are the targets of racism from Burguish society. The inhabitants of the Row live as best they can in a city that tolerates their presence at best, and shows naked hatred and violence to them at its worst.

Now, Carnival Row is the neighborhood home of most of the faeries, trow, centaurs, and fauns who reside in The Burgue.

## Biography

### Season one

#### Leading the Black Raven

Bolero and Dahlia interrogates Wren, a fellow member who was taken into custody. They strap her wings down with a corset to keep her from flying away and begin questioning her. They had her coated and cuffed. So Dahlia wonders how she managed to give them the slip. Dahlia claims that they’re forced to wear these corsets because the "leggers" are envious. They can’t fly and so they wish to cripple those who can.

Dahlia asks again what happened when she was taken in. When Wren refuses to answer, Dahlia flips her over the balcony, sending her plummeting to her doom. Dahlia explains that the police have been looking for a foothold into her organization. So, when one of hers spends a night in police custody and she won’t say anything about it, Dahlia has no choice but to get rid of her. The way she sees it is a faerishyn who picks the groundlings over them belongs to the ground. Vignette assures them that she’ll only work for her own kind, however, she’ll have to prove herself. Dahlia orders her to take the flag hanging in the rotunda of the constabulary and bring it back to her.

#### Finding the cricket

Bolero and Dahlia inform the group that a shipment of lixer from the jungles of Mag Mor were confiscated by the constabulary, meaning they have a cricket amongst them. Dahlia offers the cricket two choices. Show her they wish to be made clean. Step forward here and now, and she promises no harm will come to them. However, if they hide and force her to hunt them down, then she will see to it that they are torn from the sky and fed to the eels.

Bolero brings Vingette to Dahlia. He holds Vignette by her wings off a cliff. They saw her talking to Inspector Rycroft Philostrate. Vignette insists that they used to be involved during the war, and he wasn’t a cop back then. However, to Dahlia that makes Vignette a liability. Vignette insists that she’s an asset and that she can find out who the cricket is.

Vignette reports back to Dahlia and Bolero with Hamlyn’s name. Only thing left to do is kill Hamlyn, which Dahlia wants Vignette to do. And bring back his wing as proof. Vingette later returns to Dahlia and Bolero with Hamlyn’s wings. Dahlia promotes Vignette. It’s now her job to run the lots with Hamlyn gone. She’s been given the Finistere route.

Winchester 1887/1901

The **Winchesters Model 1887** and **Winchester Model 1901** are types of repeating shotgun produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Shotgun shells at the time used black powder as a propellant, and so the Model 1887 shotgun was designed and chambered for less powerful black powder shotshells. Both 10 and 12-gauge models were offered in the Model 1887; 12-gauge variants used a 2 5/8" shell, 10-gauge variants fired a 2 7/8" shell.

## Use in *Carnival Row*

The 1887/1901 shotgun is seen in use by the Burguish constabulary. Both Philo and Constable Berwick carry shotguns during an investigation in "The Joining of Unlike Things."

Saint Titania

**Saint Titania** is a principle figure in Fairie religion. She is the attributed author to many of their holy texts. She has a connection to the goddess Danu, whose shrines are often mistaken for Titania's.

## History

In the 3rd century of the Burgish calendar's Old Era, the belief system of the faeries was founded by a central evangelist and prophet named Nimia. Nimia was the born out of a treaty between the Dominion of Anoun and the nation of Tirnambeo. The Dominion of Anoun which was traditionally ruled by a queen was instead passed to the only remaining male heir Hadeon who became Anoun's regent. Hadeon after being coronated was eager to prove himself as a ruler and attacked Tirnambeo in a brief but bloody conflict. It came to an end when the Tirnambean monarch surrendered her younger sister in a marriage with Hadeon, producing.

After Nimia’s birth, Hadeon sent his wife and daughter to the frigid and secluded Isle of Lorn where they were kept little better than prisoners. Due to Hadeon's unpopularity, the pair were used as insurance against an uprising, under the promise that the matriarchal rule would resume once Nimia came of age. But as Princess Nimia grew, so did her restlessness. On her 13th birthday, shortly after a blackblood infection claimed her mother’s life, the princess ran away, disguising herself as a commoner and changing her name to Titania.

For years, she traveled along the Sacred Road, a constellation of holy sites stretching the length of the continent. She would remain for a time at each one, living humbly with the Mima, studying the local stories and traditions, and serving the needy — of which there were many. It was a factional and tumultuous time in Tirnanese history, but it was perhaps the only sort of time from which a figure such as she could emerge. Though many miracles would come to be attributed to Titania, none were as impactful as her writings. During her travels, she composed a lyrical meditation called The Garden Cantos, in which she detailed her lifelong pilgrimage, lovingly recounting the lore of each region as she searched for the threads that connected them. The resulting text stands as the most elegant expression of the rich and ancient variety of faerish beliefs, pulling them together as a single body of thought. It wasn’t that Titania changed the Old Ways. Rather, that she found a commonality that had always been there, a way of seeing the world that resonated across the continent. And in her way, she did what her father could not: she unified Tirnanoc. Not politically, but spiritually.
Flute

**Flute** is the Magistrate of the Constabulary No. 6 precinct in The Burgue.

## History

Flute worked alongside Inspector Rycroft Philostrate, Sergeant Dombey, and Constable Berwick for years at the Constabulary No. 6 precinct.

## Biography

### Season one

Magistrate Flute learns of Philo's suspicion of Sergeant Dombey. He suspects that he may be Unseelie Jack, though he can’t prove it beyond the description given by the latest victim. Flute doesn’t seem too concerned. Philo wants to put a man on Dombey, but Magistrate Flute refuses to do so. Instead, he sends Philo home for the day.

#### Tracking the killings

Philo confronts Magistrate Flute after his autopsy request on Aisling Querelle was denied. Flute explains that he’s not going to waste the coroner’s time on a dead Pix. Flute wants Berwick to take over the case, but Philo is determined to find out who wanted Aisling dead.

Flute, Constable Berwick, Philo, and Sergeant Dombey arrive at the scene of the crime to find that Dr. Morange has been murdered. Philo lies and and tells them there are no connections between the three victims. While Morange was a good man, there were rumors that he handled abortions, reconstructions, and Pix looking to pass as humans by getting their ears bobbed and their wings sheared. Flute puts Philo in charge of finding a connection.

Magistrate Flute and Sergeant Dombey consider whether or not there’s a connection between the three victims. Berwick reveals that he tracked down a cabbie who picked Monrage up from the Row, outside the Tetterby Hotel.

#### Investigating Philo

Flute and Dombey learn from Berwick that Philo was asking questions at the Tetterby Hotel. They questions Philo’s intentions for following Morange. Berwick also reveals to Flute and Dombey about the Critch rumors regarding the Darkasher. A creature raised from the dead to do one’s bidding. Philo swears he saw it, but Berwick is skeptical. As is Dombey and Flute, who orders Berwick to keep an eye on Philo.

Dombey learns from Portia that Philo is a half-blood and he reports back to Berwick and Magistrate Flute with this information. Also, he reveals that the murdered far singer was his mom. This leads them to suspect that Philo is the killer as all three victims had a connection to him. They believe that he killed them to hide his secret and so Flute sends out a squad to bring him in.

Magistrate Flute, Dombey, and Berwick tell Philo that Portia came by and filed a statement that could potentially see Philo cleared of all charges. Philo insists that he didn’t kill anyone, however, it is true that Aisling Querelle is his mother. Flute is outraged as he once trusted Philo. Vignette watches without word as this unfolds.
