Myrsky

Myrsky is the southernmost nation, and shares a border with Tara-Ingerilor and Aucurio. Its name translates to "storm," suiting its climate. Its capital is Sanctuary-over-the-Jaguar.

## Race

Usually, the residents of Myrsky have very dark skin and dark, curly hair. A range of eye colors is common, ranging from blue to brown. The average male stands at 6'0, and the average female stands at 5'8.

## Customs

* Myrsky is a matriarchy. Almost all children born to the royal family are female, and only one in nine monarchs are male.
* Since Myrsky is the only country (almost) always ruled by a woman, Myrskian princesses usually have to marry from within their country. Typically, foreign princes don't take kindly to ruling from the sidelines with their wife as the dominant monarch.
* Members of the aristocracy, if they rank high enough, are given ceremonial names within the first five years of their life. The ceremonial names are often related to the child's personality, interests, or experiences.
* Hyphenated names for locations are the rule.

## Language

Myrskian accents are described as thick, rough, and sweet.
Judah/Supports

**Julius:** Huh?

**Mikael:** All these years, and this is where you turn up-

**Julius:** I don’t want to fight.

**Mikael:** …What did you say?

**Julius:** I said, I don’t want to fight. And even if I did, you would still win. I don’t remember how to use my magic.

**Mikael:** Why are you telling me this?

**Julius:** I already told you! I don’t want to fight. …I’m going to see my brother. Farewell, King Mikael.

**Mikael:** …

*C support achieved.*

### **B:**

**Mikael:** Judah.

**Julius:** …I don’t go by that name anymore. You should know that. You interrogated my brother about me, after all.

**Mikael:** Of course I did. He may not be reliable, but he’s more reliable than you. He seemed convinced that you know nothing of her whereabouts.

**Julius:** It’s true. I had nothing
to do with her disappearance. If you *recall,* she vanished while I was asleep. You were with her last; not me.

**Mikael:** That doesn’t matter. You know as well as I that she carries the other half of the god inside you. You’re not just twins; you’re one and the same. And you can never truly lose half of yourself.

**Julius:** …

**Mikael:** Unlike Bishop Sairus, I’m not willing to wait and coax you into revealing what you know. I’ve waited too long for that. I can’t kill you, of course, but I’m more creative than that.

**Julius:** I don’t want to fight you!

**Mikael:** You don’t have to. It’ll just make my job that much easier. Consider your options. I expect full cooperation by tomorrow.

**Julius:** King Mikael…!

*B support achieved.*

### **A:**

**Mikael:** …Julius?

**Julius:** …!

**Mikael:** Wait – please don’t go. I came to apologize.

**Julius:** Wh-what?

**Mikael:** I had a dream… She came and spoke to me, and I’m trying to understand- …You’re so much like her.

**Julius:** …Of course I am. I’m her twin brother.

**Mikael:** Not just looks. I never knew her before she lost her memory, but I’ve heard of the things she did… But that wasn’t *her.* Nysa is not Jezebel. She became someone entirely new. And I suppose… so have you. You aren’t even him…

**Julius:** I’ve been saying that this whole time! But nobody *listens.* They just glare at me and look through me, and blame me for her disappearance – and do you really think that I don’t want to find her just as much as you?!

**Mikael:** Julius…

**Julius:** I know you were searching for her. I know you still are. And so am I. But our god is asleep in both of us now; I can’t sense her presence. There’s nothing more I can do.

**Mikael:** I see… I’m sorry for asking more of you.

**Julius:** You don’t have to ask me to try harder to find my own damn sister. Just- let’s just work together, alright? We’re not friends, but that doesn’t matter.  What matters is we do whatever it takes to get her back.

**Mikael:** Mm. Agreed. And perhaps, someday, we can put this behind us…

*A support achieved.*
Anaia Sulwell/Poem

*I took the king's wife and made her my own*

*Guided her through the world until she stood*

*On her own two feet*

*We had a daughter, whom we loved,*

*And we were happy.*

*No consequences came for me*

*I dreamed often of the lord I left behind*

*Of his loose tongue and impudent smirk*

*Of his endless pursuit of a father's love that would never come*

*I didn't miss him.*

*I had the king's wife and our child.*

*But the king found her and shackled her to his royal life again*

*I could no longer protect her*

*Our daughter was taken away and I burned*

*And I couldn't stop laughing in relief*

*As I finally paid the consequences.*
Angel's Lullaby

The Angel's Lullaby is a song created to keep the Great Angel in a twilight sleep. It allows the Great Angel enough consciousness to transport living things to the underworld, but sedates it enough to keep it from destroying humanity.

## History

The Angel's Lullaby was originally sung by the gods Setine and Vega, after the Great Angel's rampage that nearly wiped out humanity. The two gods taught the song to Talys, the Oracle's son, who then passed it along his church.

Traditionally, the song is sung by the Grand Priest or Grand Priestess, at the altar in the heart of the Arcadian Temple. Rosaline de Clare, the High Priestess and Apostle, is the last to be taught the Angel's Lullaby.

A variation of the lullaby is also sung by Nysa to sedate both the Angel and its vessel, her brother Judah.
Scylla Eyre

“…Why…? I’ve done… nothing wrong…”

—Scylla

Scylla Eyre is the twin sister of Lyzabel Eyre and the retainer of Isolde Rowntree. A former servant girl, she's calm and unassuming, but believes herself to be the manifestation of perfection.

## Biography

### Merek's Revolution

Scylla faithfully serves Isolde during Merek's revolution.

### The Angel's Awakening

Lesath Nazari

### Family

Sudhana Nazari (father), Isolde Rowntree (mother), Caph Nazari (sister), Lyra Nazari (uncle), Diadra Godfrey, Pierrot Seymour, Felyse and Patty du Merle, Reinhold Ridley, Ceres Vaughan, and Julia Osteler (cousins)

### Birthplace

Star's Gate Palace, Aljana

“Ah, forget it. Enough with that defeatist attitude. Time to focus. Steady breathing… steady hands… steady shot.”

—Lesath

Lesath Nazari is an Aljannite prince and the son of Sudhana Nazari and Isolde Rowntree. He's also the older brother of Caph Nazari. He accompanied his mother to Tara-Ingerilor after the Event to locate the royal family.

## Biography

### Early Childhood

Lesath was born only a few years into Sudhana and Isolde's marriage. Isolde did the best to raise her son, but Sudhana had recently become regent king, and she needed to support him. As a result, he was raised partially by a wet nurse. His younger sister, Caph, was born three years later.

Lesath rarely got to visit his relatives in Tara-Ingerilor, due to the distance, but he enjoyed the trips there greatly. Some of his aunts and uncles would frequently come to visit, especially Claire, who brought her two young children - Felyse and Patty. Lesath and Felyse developed an intense rivalry at an early age.

### The Event

Lesath, his mother, and his sister were all untouched by the Event due to their residence in Aljana. Isolde insisted that she be allowed to return to Tara-Ingerilor to maintain order and look for her family. Since he knew he'd have to stay and rule Aljana, Sudhana was reluctant to let his wife go but eventually relented. Lesath begged and pleaded to go along, so he could personally keep his mother safe from harm.

## Personality

Like his sister, Lesath has a more extroverted and sunny temperament than both of his parents. He's rather informal for a prince and is possessed of a smart mouth. He's never afraid of being openly affectionate towards his loved ones.

Around his cousins, he tries to be the mature and responsible one, but he almost always digresses into being the jokester.

Unbefittingly for his position, he's also a relentless flirt.

## Abilities

Lesath's mostly average when it comes to talents. Two stand out: archery and diplomacy. He's not a poor shot by any means, but he pales in comparison to his cousin Felyse. The only thing he beats Felyse in is horseback archery.

He's excellent at improvisation and thinking on his feet.

## Quotes

“Of all the things to screw up... I'm sorry, Father...”

—Lesath's death quote

## Trivia

* Lesath's star sign is Capricorn.
* His tarot card is the Strength, and his moral alignment is lawful good.
Hara

Hara is a small farming village found in the forests directly west of Elinstad. Though it previously held a small population of Halflings, it is currently entirely inhabited by only three individuals of the Hardheel family.

## Location

Hara is a small village located in a clearing found in the forests west of Elinstad within the region of Elin. It is found some distance east of The Barrier, past the Cobalt Hideout.

## About

Hara is a relatively small farming village - likely one of many - that supplies crops to the city of Elinstad. The specific produce of the village is unknown. Crops produced are bundled and transported via a road that leads south to east and thus to the main road leading to the city during the harvest season.

The village itself consists of two buildings surrounded by farmland that extends to the edge of the clearing. The buildings themselves are clearly Halfling made, being far squatter than those of other settlement found in Elin. Alongside the two buildings are foundations of a house destroyed by fire damage.

The only currently inhabited building in the village as of now is that of the Hardheel family, with one building - that of the Rockbelt family - having burnt down at least a year prior, and the remaining family having withdrawn from the final house.

## People & Places

The Hardheel family is the only remaining Halfling family found in Hara. It consists of Izmo Hardheel, his wife, and his son.

It is known that two other families of three each inhabited Hara in the past. One of these families was the Rockbelt family, who's home had burnt down for unknown reasons, and a finally family of unknown name who had left for Elinstad.

## History

Hara was at one point a fully inhabited farming village of three families - the Hardheels, the Rockbelts, and a third family of currently unknown name.

Potentially due to The Party's raid on the Cobalt Hideout, the village was forcefully investigated by armed guardsmen (who numbered at around ten to fifteen) who had come from the east road. At this point only the Hardheels were present - the Rockbelt house having burnt down over a year prior and the unknown family having left for Elinstad a few days before. The Party chose not to intervene until the guards left or began to use direct violence.

The day after, Roscoe revealed that the third, uninhabited house was his family's, who he has had no contact with since he was very young (in Halfling years). The Party was given brief respite by the Hardheel family (to the dismay of Izmo) but were soon kicked out by the fearful family after Roscoe mentioned his involvement with The Resistance. A small gift of money was left by their door as The Party left.

## Notes & Trivia

* Despite the fact that he has spent most of his life in Elinstad, Hara is the hometown of Roscoe.
* The current fate of the Rockbelt family is currently unknown.

Kristian, ex-bandit

Kristian is one of the few surviving members of the Haven Cross Bandits.

## Personality

Kristian can be rather standoffish, but that is probably more due to his situation and awkward history with The Party than anything else.

## Biography

The Party first encountered Kristian after the Battle of Haven Cross, where he fought alongside the Haven Cross Bandits in their siege. He was found among other stragglers hiding in the outer ruins after their defeat, due to fear of being picked off if they tried to escape. The Party chose to allow them to leave.

Some time later, after first encountering Bandit-Town, The Party met Kristian once again during their negotiations. He was eventually elected to leave David the Red's camp with The Party in order to talk to Arzy.

Though his status is unknown, he is assumed to currently still be operating alongside his fellow bandits in working alongside The Resistance and Lord Haven.

Klaus Lerene

“...You don't have a choice. None of us had a choice. Here in Tara-Ingerilor, we magicians work in service of the king, or we die. There’s no other choice for us. Our parents decided we would have this life on the day we were born. All we can do is take what we got and do our best with it.”

—Klaus

Klaus Lerene is the retainer to Marcella Beaumanoir and the younger brother of Theo Lerene. A budding magician with control over water, he would prefer to live an uneventful life.

## Biography

### Early Childhood

Klaus was orphaned minutes after he was born. His parents were in debt for their entire lives, and eventually their debt to the crown was so large that there was no hope of paying it back - especially when his mother became pregnant with him, their second child. In a final desperate attempt to free themselves and their children from having to dedicate their lives to paying it off, they sacrificed their lives to turn Klaus into a magician - a human payment.

Before their deaths, his parents arranged for him and his brother Theo, three years his elder, to be adopted by an aging knight who cared for them well. Frequently ill as a child and suffering from chronic resting tremors, Klaus preferred the indoors over roughhousing with his brother. Theo often teased his crybaby little brother, and consequently they didn't grow up to be very close.

Klaus first met Princess Marcella when they were nine years old. Klaus had slipped out of bed to return a book he had stolen from the library when he overheard her muffled sobs of pain. He followed the sound, and spent the rest of the night reading to her to calm her down. The next day, she requested he be brought to her, and they became fast friends. She eventually asked him to be her retainer.

### Merek's Revolution

Klaus serves Marcella throughout the revolution, and tries to dissuade her from supporting Merek.

### The Angel's Awakening

After the Angel awakens, it collects Klaus's life and offers him death as a mercy.

### Adulthood

Klaus continues to serve Marcella after the conflict dies down. Despite mutual unspoken feelings, they are never married.

## Personality

Klaus is a rather detached individual who keeps quiet most of the time - not out of shyness, but out of a lack of things to say. In his conversations with Nysa and Theo, he's shown to be resigned to his fate, although he tries to make the best of his lot in life.

## Quotes

“Ugh... useless...! You have to get up! Without you, who will take... care of... her...?”

—Klaus's death quote

## Trivia

* Klaus's star sign is Capricorn.
* His tarot card is the Moon, and his moral alignment is lawful neutral.
Lyra Nazari

### Family

King Altair (uncle), Sudhana Nazari (cousin), Lesath and Caph Nazari (nephew and niece)

Vega

“Why can’t you just leave us alone? It’s not our fault, so why should we have to pay the price?!”

—Lyra

Lyra Nazari is the crown prince of Aljana, nephew of King Altair, and cousin of Sudhana Nazari. After his parents sacrificed their lives to turn him into a magician and the perfect vessel, the god Vega took up residence within him. Over time, the two became indistinguishable.

## Appearance

Lyra is a child with black hair, dark skin, and dark eyes.

Lyra stopped growing around the age of ten, and remained with the appearance of a ten-year-old ever since. This is a direct consequence of Vega's possession, as Vega always takes the form of a child.

He has magician's scars across his throat, and shaped like lightning bolts on his chest.

## Quotes

“I have to go... but I'll be back soon! I can't really die... I don't think... Everything will be... okay...”

Caelia Maris

“Nimue... That's enough.”

—Caelia

Caelia Maris is the princess and later queen of Aucurio. She is the eldest daughter of King Maris, older sister of Nimue Maris, and older half-sister of Mordred Pendragon. As a female child, she wasn't considered an heir to the Aucurian throne, but she supports her sister's efforts to seize control of the country and murder their half-brother.

## Biography

### Early Childhood

Caelia spent her life very sheltered, with little contact with her father. She spent most of her time with her sister and her mother.

As a teenager, Caelia fell in love with Elyan Lyones, and they began seeing each other regularly. Caelia's normally somber personality brightened, and she started to come out of her shell and form her own ideas. However, ELyan passed away rather suddenly, leaving Caelia devastated. She retreated inwards farther than ever and abandoned the voice she had begun to find.

### Adulthood

After King Maris's death, Caelia took control of something for the first time in her life. Still unmarried, she assumed the throne and reigned as the sole queen of Aucurio.

### The Event

Since Aucurio was untouched during the Event, Caelia was not directly involved. However, citing her respect for the absent King Mikael, she sent aid to the Tara-Ingeriloran citizens in the form of food and medical supplies.

## Personality

Caelia is an extremely passive person who shows little to no enthusiasm about anyone or anything. Although she's the king's eldest born, she's never expressed a desire for the throne, a hatred for her half-brother, or any opinions whatsoever about the political climate of her country.

## Relationships

### Mordred Pendragon

Caelia doesn't appear to harbor any real hatred for her half-brother, and it's evident that she only helps Nimue's attempts on his life out of loyalty to her sister.

### Evaine Lyones

Although Caelia and Evaine have an amicable relationship, Caelia trusts Evaine about as far as she can throw her. Despite her lack of motivation to do much of anything, Caelia does make an effort to remain Nimue's right-hand woman, evidently trusting her own motives more than Evaine's.

### Mikael Godfrey

Caelia and Mikael first met as teenagers during diplomatic meetings between their fathers. She was mostly there to respect Tara-Ingerilor's custom of allowing women in positions of power, although she didn't have any real authority. Out of courtesy, Mikael chatted with her while the two kings were busy. Although she was initially suspicious that he was mocking her, she slowly warmed up to him. The two never became friends, but were friendly acquaintances.

King Maris had intended to marry Caelia off to Mikael once he bore a legitimate son.

After the Event, Caelia does not become directly involved in Tara-Ingerilor's affairs, but she does send food and medical supplies with relief workers to the hardest hit areas.

## Quotes

“I've been wondering... Will I still get to see you again? After all I've done...”

—Caelia's death quote

## Trivia

* Caelia's star sign is Cancer.
* Her tarot card is the Star, and her moral alignment is lawful evil.

**Seti:** H-hey, careful! This river flows faster than it looks! If you fall in, there’s no way you’re getting out- What are you doing out here in the middle of a river anyway?

**Diadra:** Lord Seti! …I… I apologize. I just thought I’d fill our water skins… and the river’s stagnant near the shore.

**Seti:** It’s alright; you just scared me. Here, take my hand. You’ll catch a chill standing in there.

**Diadra:** Hm? But I’ve seen you do this many times…

**Diadra:** No! It’s not that. You said you grew up here – in the cold. But I…?

**Seti:** …No… No, you’re not from here. Say, do you remember when I found you?

**Diadra:** Only a little. You were surprised when I said I was cold, and gave me your cloak. Then we came to a village and you got me another cloak… and you were surprised again when I said I was too hot.

**Julius:** It’s true. I had nothing
to do with her disappearance. If you *recall,* she vanished while I was asleep. You were with her last; not me.

**Mikael:** That doesn’t matter. You know as well as I that she carries the other half of the god inside you. You’re not just twins; you’re one and the same. And you can never truly lose half of yourself.

**Julius:** …

**Mikael:** Unlike Bishop Sairus, I’m not willing to wait and coax you into revealing what you know. I’ve waited too long for that. I can’t kill you, of course, but I’m more creative than that.

**Mikael:** I had a dream… She came and spoke to me, and I’m trying to understand- …You’re so much like her.

**Julius:** …Of course I am. I’m her twin brother.

**Mikael:** Not just looks. I never jnew her before she lost her memory, but I’ve heard of the things she did… But that wasn’t *her.* Nysa is not Jezebel. She became someone entirely new. And I suppose… so have you. You aren’t even him…

**Julius:** I’ve been saying that this whole time! But nobody *listens.* They just glare at me and look through me, and blame me for her disappearance – and do you really think that I don’t want to find her just as much as you?!

**Mikael:** Julius…

**Julius:** I know you were searching for her. I know you still are. And so am I. But our god is asleep in both of us now; I can’t sense her presence. There’s nothing more I can do.

**Mikael:** I see… I’m sorry for asking more of you.

**Julius:** You don’t have to ask me to try harder to find my own damn sister. Just- let’s just work together, alright? We’re not friends, but that doesn’t matter.  What matters is we do whatever it takes to get her back.

**Mikael:** Mm. Agreed. And perhaps, someday, we can put this behind us…

*A support achieved.*
Setine

“Thanks, sweetie. Tell Vega that big sister says to come home in time for dinner.”

—Setine

Setine is the goddess of wind and freedom, and one of the five children of the All-Mother. She resides in the Valley, and gave humanity free will and choice. She's also the lover of Luinne Ridley, and possibly the mother of Seti Ridley.

## Biography

“The two who loved humans the most, the goddess Setine and the god Vega, sang a strange song to the Angel that put it in a deep, peaceful sleep, so it could cause no more destruction on the earth. ”

—Seti's account of the Great Angel

## Appearance

“She’s floating in midair, and drifts near the other’s head as she speaks to it. Unlike the others, she’s not wearing a thing except for perfectly smooth, unbroken brown skin from head to toe, including over her breasts and between her legs. Her tangled mess of dark hair down to her knees is pulled over one shoulder. Her ethereal form moves so fluidly that it doesn’t seem… real. ”

—Genosis's description of Setine

## Personality

Around humans, Setine presents herself as very serene and elegant, as if she's an untouchable deity from on high. Around her fellow gods, on the other hand, she expresses herself as playful, talkative, and affectionate. Still, she demands reverence from humans and respect from her fellow gods. When she feels she is not respected, she becomes bitter and even spiteful.

As the goddess of free will and choice, Setine believes in permitting both good and bad to happen, even to those she cares about. This can be seen in how Luinne and Seti's lights at the Gates are not covered, meaning Setine isn't sheltering them from the Angel's touch.

Setine's position as the goddess of freedom is also supremely ironic. When Seti asked Luinne if he loved her, Luinne replies that he didn't have any other options. As for Seti himself, he was never given a choice to be his own person, without his mother's influence. Lastly, Setine's mark of full possession includes the bearer covering their mouth with their hand, effectively silencing them.

## Abilities

“Setine, the goddess of freedom, granted mankind free will and choice.”

—Seti's description of Setine

Juno Santers

Juno as a child

“I would take you home, except I don’t know how I got here… so I don’t know how to get back…”

—Juno, to Merek

Juno Santers is the retainer and wife of Merek Seymour and mother of Pierrot Seymour. Described as walking the line between noblewoman and knight, she's a renowned archer comparable only to her pupil, Felyse du Merle.

## Biography

### Early Childhood

Juno was born as the only child in a noble family. Her parents struggled for years to conceive a child, and her mother suffered several miscarriages. They were overjoyed when Juno was born as a happy and healthy baby. They doted on her constantly and taught her everything they knew, from penmanship to needlework to riding to dancing to mathematics. Juno showed an affinity for archery even as a child. With her parents' encouragement, she grew steadily in skill.

At age thirteen, she first encounters Merek Seymour at the archery range, where they're both practicing. Six years later, she saves his life from a failed assassination attempt with a well-placed shot that could've just as easily killed Merek as his attacker. Two years after that, Merek asks her to be his retainer, and she accepts.

### Merek's Revolution

As Merek's constant companion, Juno is one of the first people to know about his plans to overthrow King Godfrey, along with Claire Seymour and her retainer.

### The Angel's Awakening

After the Great Angel awakens, it collects Juno's life. It offers her death as a mercy.

### Adulthood

As the conflict dies down, Juno and Merek are wed rather abruptly. A few months later, Juno gives birth to a daughter named Pierrot.

### The Event

Juno disappears alongside her liege during the Event. Her daughter Pierrot is the only one to resurface, at an inn within the boundaries of Merek's territory.

## Abilities

“Lady Juno was half noblewoman, half knight – an incredible markswoman who could hit a butterfly’s wing through the eye from a galloping warhorse. ”

—Luinne's description of Juno

## Quotes

“I'm sorry, Lord Merek... I think... I think I might've messed up... again...”

—Juno's death quote

## Trivia

* Juno's star sign is Taurus.
* Her tarot card is the Justice, and her moral alignment is chaotic good.

*We protect our own.*
Proxy

Proxies are human beings who are chosen to carry the full breadth of a god or other deity's power. In exchange, as the proxy inherits more and more of the god's power, they lose their humanity. The gods may choose any human being to carry out their will, and do not require the human's consent. Once a human has been chosen to be a proxy, they slowly lose their sense of self until nothing more than a shell remains.

All gods are able to choose proxies. Belkira and the Oracle also have the ability. It is unknown if other non-humans like Genosis and Menw can have proxies.

## Proxies and Vessels

Proxies and vessels are very similar in the sense that they both sacrifice part of their humanity in exchange for serving a god. The two are distinct in three major ways:

* A god can have multiple vessels, but only one proxy at any given time. If a proxy dies, the god can choose another one.
* Vessels typically have normal outward appearances. Proxies are designated by brands, which vary from god to god.
* Vessels retain their humanity, along with their human abilities. Proxies lose their humanity and become little more than shells to carry out the god's will, and as such they wield the power of a god.

The vast majority of proxies were vessels first. Mordred is a notable exception, as he is a proxy but not a vessel.

## Brands

All proxies are designated by brands, or physical markers of their chosen position. Brands typically surface when the proxy is in advanced stages of their possession, rather than when it first occurs. Each god has a specific brand, which appears on all proxies they choose.

* Setine's brand appears as an green eye on the back of the proxy's right hand, and a mouth on the back of their left. The proxy covers their mouth and eye with the respective hand, and Setine speaks through the new mouth. The proxy's original eye and mouth are sewn shut with a silver thread.
* The Great Angel's brand appears as an extra pair of eyes located on the proxy's temples. Visually, all four eyes fall on the same horizontal line. Two bone stubs, typically each a foot long, protrude from the proxy's back, like the remnants of angel's wings.
* Vega's brand appears as puppeteer's strings, which connect all of the proxy's limbs to a ghostly, child-like, featureless mannequin that dangles above their head.
* The Oracle's brand appears as a third eye that opens on the proxy's forehead.
* Belkira's brand appears as two extra pairs of eyes on the proxy's cheeks, below their original pair.

Alseid and Arethusa's brands are not known.

## Notable Proxies

Notable proxies include:

* Seti Ridley, the proxy of Setine
* Judah, the proxy of the Great Angel
* Lyra Nazari, the proxy of Vega
* Rosaline de Clare, the proxy of the Oracle
* Mordred Pendragon, the proxy of Belkira

It is arguable that the Oracle was also the proxy of the Great Angel.

## Trivia

* It's not clear what happens to a proxy after their death. However, Belkira implies that since there's no fundamental difference between the proxy and the god they serve, the god re-absorbs their power from the proxy, and the empty shell with it.
Vessel

Vessels are human beings who are chosen to have a special relationship to the gods or other deities. The role of a vessel is greatly varied. Most vessels are used by the gods to directly enact their will for humanity. However, some vessels are only considered such because they are so close with a god that it impacts their humanity.

## Vessels and Magicians

Many vessels are magicians. Since magicians are granted their powers directly after birth by the gods themselves, the gods sometimes take this opportunity to chose a vessel for themselves. This is the case with Lyra, Jezebel, Judah, and potentially Seti.

## Vessels and Proxies

Vessels and proxies are very similar in the sense that they both sacrifice part of their humanity in exchange for serving a god. The two are distinct in three major ways:

* A god can have multiple vessels, but only one proxy at any given time. If a proxy dies, the god can choose another one.
* Vessels typically have normal outward appearances. Proxies are designated by brands, which vary from god to god.
* Vessels retain their humanity, along with their human abilities. Proxies lose their humanity and become little more than shells to carry out the god's will, and as such they wield the power of a god.

The vast majority of proxies were vessels first. Mordred Pendragon is a notable exception, as he is a proxy but not a vessel.

## Notable Vessels

Notable vessels include:

* The Oracle, the vessel of the Great Angel and the first known vessel
* Reinhold Ridley, the vessel of Alseid
* Terezka, the vessel of Arethusa
* Luinne Ridley, the vessel of Setine
* Seti Ridley, the second vessel of Setine
* Jezebel, the vessel of the Great Angel
* Judah, the second vessel of the Great Angel
* Lyra Nazari, the vessel of Vega
* Rosaline de Clare, the vessel of the Oracle
Cas Ridley/Poem

*Until the end, you're my very best friend.*

*But after the finish line there are so many choices*

*We can't be expected to make the same ones.*

*You went your way and I stuck with mine*

*Chasing the love of a man with no room in his heart*

*For anything*

*But power.*

*But I couldn't help but be an addict*

*To the drug of his approval*

*When I kneel at his feet with bloody hands*

*To the drug of his words*

*"You've done well, my son."*

*I'd do anything.*

*Even give up you.*

*I love you, but I need him*

*To notice me.*

Oracle

The Oracle is a major historical and religious figure in Tara-Ingerilor's past. She's the root of both the country itself, and the Order of the Great Angel.

## Biography

“The Great Angel fell deeply in love with a human, and came down to the earth to walk among men and be with her. It told her a great many strange things that she did not understand.”

—Seti's account of the Great Angel

The Oracle lived while the world was still new and countries had not yet been established. The Great Angel fell deeply in love with her, and walked on the face of the earth to be with her. Eventually, the Oracle somehow became pregnant. Thinking she had betrayed it, the Great Angel grew so furious that hellfire consumed the earth, killing half of the human population and blackening out a third of the stars. Even in its anger, the Great Angel couldn't bring itself to kill her, so it banished her to an unknown place and separated her from her children, whom she named Amelyn and Telys before they were taken away.
