Chartum liberii

**Chartum liberii** are the focus of any slave’s existence in the Republic of Itreya. Also known as “redsheets” for the scarlet parchment they are scribed upon, they signify that the bearer has, through dint of self-purchase, a merciful master, or governmental edict, earned their freedom.

Almost impossible to forge thanks to the arkemical processes of The Iron Collegium, redsheets are an incredibly valuable commodity. A flourishing black market has arisen around their acquisition and resale, and clever purveyors of redsheets can expect to become very rich very quickly. Less clever purveyors can expect to be sold into slavery for life, along with their relatives, friends, colleagues, familia, pets, and people who owe them money. The entire Republic runs on the oil of slavery, after all.
Jonnen Corvere

**Jonnen Corvere** is the younger brother of Mia Corvere. An infant at the time of Darius Corvere's rebellion, Jonnen was imprisoned alongside his mother, Alinne, on the Philosopher's Stone by order of the consul, Julius Scaeva, and, supposedly, died there before Mia ever had the chance to rescue him. However, it is later discovered that Jonnen suffered a different fate. He was adopted by Scaeva and his wife, Liviana, and raised as their son, under the name **Lucius**. The reason for this being that Jonnen, and his sister Mia, were actually both the biological, and illegitimate, children of the consul.

Jonnen has no idea about his true parentage and was taken too young to remember his true name or sister at all.

## Trivia

* Jonnen is four foot, three inches tall.
* Mia noted that she sung to Jonnen, as was afraid of storms and hated thunder when he was younger.
The Ashkahi Whisperwastes

The deserts of Ashkah, also known as the Ashkahi Whisperwastes, were considered, by Mia Corvere, to be a desolation grimmer than she had ever seen. Scoured beneath the sight of the suns, the crimson sands were laden with voices just beyond hearing, the crusted horizon a far off wonder beyond all reach, the blistering heat near unbearable.

The Whisperwastes are home to a wide variety of creatures, al of them extremely dangerous to humans. The particularly fatal attractions include dustwraiths and sand krakens.
Bryn

**Bryn** was a former gladiatii of the Remus Collegium. Together with her twin brother Byern she formed an equillai - a special team of gladiatii. Little is known about her former life besides the fact that she was about to be sold to a Liisian brothel before Leona Remus bought her and gave her a spot in her collegium.
War Walkers

Though a cadre of ten can be found in Godsgrave, the mekwerk giants of the Iron Collegium are kept unfueled and unmanned, only to be operated in times of absolute crisis. Owing to Itreyan military might and the difficulties of assaulting Godsgrave by anything other than sea, the presence of the machines in the city is mostly ceremonial. In the last forty truedarks, Godsgrave's War Walkers have been activated precisely twice.

The first, during the overthrow of King Francisco XV - legionaries loyal to the monarchy attempted to storm the palace and rescue the king from his assailants when news of the uprising broke. The loyalist pilots (strictly a ceremonial position by that stage of the monarchy) surrendered once they realized that Francisco and his entire family were already dead.

The second incident commenced with three bottles of mid-shelf goldwine and a drunken boast to a would-be paramour, segued into a stumbling crash into the sixth Rib (which broke at the base and collapsed into the sea), and ended with a swift trial and an even swifter crucifixion for the young man involved.

And the paramour wasn't even all that interested in him.
Francesco Duomo

**Francesco Duomo** is the Grand Cardinal of the Church of Light, and the most powerful member of the Everseeing's ministry. Along with Consul Julius Scaeva and Justicus Marcus Remus, he was responsible for passing sentence on the Kingmaker rebels. Though he appeared to be allied with Scaeva, the two of them were bitter rivals.

Duomo is the right hand of Aa upon this earth. The mere sight of a holy relic blessed by a man of his conviction is enough to send Darkin, like Mia Corvere, and her shadow companions, Eclipse and Mister Kindly, writhing in agony. Though he believes the Red Church are heretics, he is one of their highest paying patrons, purely to save his own ass from assassination. When he was a bishop, he had a tendency to molest choir boys.

Duomo was ultimately killed by Mia in front of a hundred thousand screaming people.

## Appearance

Duomo was described by Mia as "*looking more like a brigand who'd murdered a holy man and stolen his clothes than a holy man himself*". He had a beard like a hedgerow and shoulders like an ox, and was nearly always seen with the Trinity of Aa around his neck. His standard priestly robes were described as white as dove's feathers. His voice was thick as toffee, sweet and dark.
The Lonesome Rose

According to the narrator, **The Loonesome Rose** is the most miserable building in all creation. A pleasure house in the Godsgrave docklands frequented by syphilitic lunatics and newly released convicts. It is run by a Vaanian madam so disease-stricken she affectionally refers to her own nethers as "the Orphan Maker".
Romero

A particularly daring former Itreyan stablehand who had the misfortune of antagonizing Mia Corvere. Sent by her Shahiid Mercurio to learn how to improve her skill with equines in the Itreyan mainland, Mia despised the beasts, and was miserable in their company. Her mood was worsened considerably further when Romero decided to pinch her on the arse, dreadfully misinformed by a traveling minstrel that city ladies "enjoy that kind of thing". The confrontation did not end well. The boy's nose never quite healed properly, though he did manage to recover three of his teeth.

Romero was later sentenced to four years in the Philosopher's Stone for a brutal, and many said unprovoked, assault on a traveling minstrel.
Spiderkiller

Shahiid Spiderkiller, by PhantomRin

Comedically voted "Shahiid Most Likely To Murder Her Own Students" five years running, **Spiderkiller** is the Shahiid of the Hall of Truth and mistress of poisons. A talented venom-crafter, Mia Corvere was once one of her most promising acolytes, but after failing Drusilla's final trial, Spiderkiller's fondness for the girl has all but evaporated.
Scoring

If neither player is eliminated after eight rounds, each player calculates his score to determine a winner.

* The player with the highest score is the winner. If both players have the same score, the game ends in a tie.
* A player’s score is equal to the total point value of all units and upgrades remaining in his army plus any points gained through objective tokens.
* To calculate the point value of his remaining army, each player adds up the point value of all units and upgrades in his army that were not destroyed or discarded throughout the game.
* To determine the point value of a partially-destroyed unit — a unit missing only some of its trays — a player counts the number of the unit’s remaining trays. Then, he consults the “Cost” column that corresponds to that number of trays on the costing table on the back of that unit’s card; that “Cost” number is the point value of the partially destroyed unit.
	+ If there is not a “Trays” entry on the table that matches the number of remaining trays for that unit, a player rounds down to the closest “Cost” value on the costing table; that number is the point value of the partially-destroyed unit.
	+ If a player has to round down to zero, his unit is worth zero points, though its upgrades still count toward his score.
* For each objective token a player has, he gains a number of points equal to the value shown on the upper-right corner of the objective card. These points are added to his final score.
Hush

Hush, by PhantomRin

**Hush** is a former acolyte of the Red Church, and a former full-fledged Blade. Apparently mute, he never speaks, due to his lack of teeth, removed at some point during his enslavement, and his atrophied vocal cords. Instead, he communicates through a form of sign language known as Tongueless.

The Itreyan boy assisted Mia in her final trials, though he'd insist they are not friends and he remains loyal to the Ministry. He attempted to capture Ashlinn at the Ministry's behest, though the girl escaped with Tric's help.

## History

As a child, Hush had been enslaved to a pleasure house, where the owners had knocked out all his teeth and clipped his vocal cords so he could better service their clientle.

## Trivia

* Hush is the only member of the graduating acolytes from the first book to not return as a Hearthless
Agvald III

**Agvald III** was the former king of Vaan. He is part of one famous tale of dedication of the Red Promise.

Agvald was far fonder of excess than running his kingdom, and after a lengthy session of passing the hat, his nobles managed to scrape together the coin necessary to have him professionally done in. And so, on the nevernight of the king's thirtieth birthturn, Forde infiltrated the king's bedchambers and waited there in the dark for her quarry.

Agvald had decided to celebrate his thirtieth year in style. After an extended session of drinking with his court, the king retired to his boudoir with six concubines and an entire suckling pig. During the debauchery that followed, Agvald attempted to eat a rack of ribs whilst being serviced by three of his simultaneously. Sadly, the feat required more coordination than anticipated, and unlike his concubines, the good king inhaled when he should have swallowed.

Agvald toppled to the floor, clutching his throat and slowly turning blue. But as the royal concubines watched in amazement, Forde appeared from the shadows and proceeded to pound upon the king's back until the offending rib bone was coughed clean across the bedchamber. Forde offered the grateful king a cup of water, soothed his ruffled nerves. And once the sovereign was adequately calmed, the Blade proceeded to stab Agvald six times in the heart and cut his throat from ear to ear. "Why?" cried one of the horrified concubines. "Why save his life only to kill him?" The Blade glanced to the pig's rib and shrugged. "The promise was mine."
The Knuckles

Widely considered the rudest gesture in the Itreyan Republic, it involves the raising of a fist with the fore and baby finger extended as far as the first knuckle.

## Origin

The gesture has origins at the Battle of the Scarlet Sands, where King Francisco I of Itreya, also known as "The Great Unifier", defeated the last Liisian Magus King, Lucius the Omnipotent.

After this defeat, it was presumed that Liisian resistance to Itreyan rule would falter. Itreyan occupation of its conquests was as ingenious as it was insidious - a small group of marrowborn Administratii would move into the power vacuum created by the destruction of the ruling class, and through coercion and bribery, establish a new local elite with ties to Itreya. Local sons would be sent to Godsgrave to be educated, Itreyan daughters would marry local men, wealth would flow into all the right pockets, and within a generation, the conquered would be wondering why they bothered resisting in the first place.

Not so in Liis.

After Lucius's death, a garrison of Luminatii was stationed in the Liisian capital, Elai, to oversee "assimilation". Things went well, until a cadre of elite troops still loyal to Lucius's memory raided a banquet in the former Magus King's palace. The Itreyan elite and Luminatii garrison were captured, lined up by the loyalists, and, one by one, castrated, with a red-hot blade.

The captives were then released, the elite forces barricading themselves inside the palace and awaiting inevitable retaliation. Lasting more than six months, the Siege of Elai became legend. It was said the loyalists roamed the palace battlements, holding aloft their fists with fore and baby finger extended as far as the first knuckle - a taunting gesture meant to remind the attacking Itreyans the rebels were still possessed of their "equipment", while the Itreyans' jewels had been fed to the rebel's dogs.

Though the loyalists were eventually defeated, "the knuckles" has entered common use by many of the Republic's citizens: a taunting gesture intended to flaunt superiority over an unmanned opponent.
The Old Imperial

**The Old Imperial** is a disheveled little establishment on the edges of Last Hope in Ashkah.

## Description

While the narrator describes it as a "*bucktoothed little shithole"*, it was not, in their opinion, the most miserable building in all creation. It had a miserable air, a depressing mood. A lone harpsichord rests in a corner, collecting dust (the only man who knew how to play it, Blue Paulo, met a tragic end). The patrons tend to be a rather unsavory lot. This fine institution is run by the aptly named Fat Daniio.

## Part in the Chronicle

This taverna and inn was the chosen resting place of both Mia Corvere and Tric upon their arrival in Last Hope, prior to their trek across the Ashkahi Whisperwastes.

The taverna was also frequently by the crew of *Trelene's Beau*.
Aalea

Shahiid Aalea, by PhantomRin

**Aalea** is known as The Shahiid of Masks and the Mistress of Secrets. It is said there are only two types of folk in this world: those who love Aalea, and those who have yet to meet her. Aalea is also member of The Ministry of the Red Church. That said, she is one of the most dangerous and deadliest assassins in the world. Her confirmed kill count in the service of Niah is over 39, the third highest after Drusilla and Cassius.

She, unlike the majority of her fellow Ministry members, is quite fond of Mia Corvere.
Koffi

**Koffi** is a derogatory term utilized by the Dweymeri. It translates roughly to "child of rape", and is considered a grave insult among the Dweymeri people.

## Usage

In the Dweymeri culture, knowing one's origins is an important part of an individual's identity and status. Victims of rape—who generally don't have an opportunity to become personally acquainted with their attacker—are unable to fully pass on this knowledge to any children born from such a situation, and these Dweymeri are therefore considered lesser in the eyes of their trueborn kin. The term *koffi*, when used, thus provokes an understandably enraged and aggressive reaction as it not only insults an individual for something entirely out of their control—and quite meaningless, in the grand scheme of things—but also callously dismisses the crime that must have occurred.

The term may also be used to describe the half-caste children of Dweymeri and other cultures.

## In the series

### Nevernight

During his first encounter with fellow acolyte Floodcaller, Tric is called *koffi* by the other Dweymeri boy and viciously attacks him, to Mia's surprise and confusion. She later learns the meaning and implication of the unknown term from Chronicler Aelius, and receives a further explanation from Tric himself at a later stage.

While fighting Tric at Solis's trial a few months later, Mia deliberately calls him *koffi* in order to evoke a violent reaction from so that he would fight her in earnest and win the trial, thus earning a place among the Blades.

Leona Remus

**Leona Remus** is the widow of the former justicus Marcus Remus as well as the Domina of the Falcons of Remus, a collegium of Gladiatii.

Leona's father, Leonides physically abused both her and her mother. This lead to the eventual death of her mother, whom was beaten to death after spilling some goldwine.

During her time as the Domina of the Falcons of Remus, she was extremely kind to the Gladiatii, allowing them to live in underground cells, drink wine and eat (what could be considered) fine food.

The Domina was having an affair with the former Champion of her Collegium, Furian. They would meet over nevernight to take part in coitus. At the end of Godsgrave, Leona requests Furians presence, but Furian refuses, realising it isn't love.

## Lore

*Renowned as disciplined yet passionate soldiers, the spearmen of Terrinoth make up the front lines of the armies of nearly every barony and Free City. When war comes, the rank-and-file of Daqan form a mighty bulwark to protect their homes. The rows of infantry clad in the Citadel's own colors - majestic blue and gold - march as a symbol of safety and security to those who make their home in the Land of Steel.*

*There are many companies of spearmen in Terrinoth, each with their own storied histories and allegiances. The forces of Rhynn wear green and black to symbolize the mighty Greatwood and the fearsom black bears that dwell within it. Kell's defenders, standing vigilant over the Ru from their fortress atop Harnfar Isle, are clad in purple, gold and silver. The owl is their symbol, for Kell's soldiers shall be the watchful eyes unblinking in the darkness. Baron Zachareth's warriors wear the orange, silver, and black of Carthridge. An upraised talon is blazoned upon their shield, a symbol of strength and cunning.*

*In the south, the fiery red eagle adorning the shields of the guardians of Vynelvale evokes the eternal flame that has burned within the Great Cathedral of Kellos since the days of the Second Darkness. In the far north, the Frostguard of Frostgate are recognizable by their white lion sigil on an ice-blue field. Between both cities, many more famed units of spear infantry defend the realm.*
Mishap

**Mishap** is a non-lethal toxin, more commonly known as *Plumber's Bane*, that causes rather severe intestinal distress. Composed of Liisian loganberry, molasses and cordwood root, the poison is featured in *Arkemical Truths*.

## Part in the Chronicle

It is frequently utilized by Mia Corvere, first in Last Hope to cripple the local Luminatii and escape into the Ashkahi Whisperwastes, and again in Crow's Nest, to incapacitate her fellow gladiatii and force her mistress to field her as Champion of the Remus Collegium.

Tsana

**Tsana** is the firstborn daughter of Aa and Niah.

## In the Itreyan Mythos

It is said that during the first Great Tithe, Aa gifted his daughters dominion over the elements. To Tsana, his firstborn, he gave the rule of fire, and in return, she gave her father her love and obedience.

It is also said that Niah gave her daughter nothing, for the Maw has naught to give. But this is a lie. She did give a gift to Tsana, her firstborn daughter, who so greatly despised the Night.

To Tsana, Goddess of Fire, Niah gave hunger.

Hunger unending.

## Worship

She is primarily worshiped by women, soldiers, and gladiators. Her primary priests are the Sorority of the Flame, who swore celibacy, but are trained in various forms of warfare. There is a festival dedicated to her during the hottest months of nevernight.

## Trivia

* She is named after the astrophysicist who designed the suns of Itreya.
* She is based on Athena/Minerva from Greco-Roman mythology.
Osrik Järnheim

Osrik Järnheim, by PhantomRin

**Osrik Järnheim** was a former acolyte of the Red Church. He was born in Vaan, a vassal state of Itreya, and was the son of Torvar Järnheim, a retired Blade of the Red Church. As vengeance for a maiming he received whilst in the Mother's service, he and his children hatched a plot that almost brought the entire Church to its knees. Though their conspiracy was eventually foiled by Mia Corvere, it did claim the life of the head of the Red Church, the Lord of Blades, Cassius and dozens of other servants of Niah. Osrik was drowned in the blood pool by Adonai during the assault.
Aa

Aa
--

**Aa,**The Father of Light, also known as the Everseeing, is the head of the Itreyan pantheon. The three suns, known as Saan (the Seer), Saai (the Knower), and Shiih (the Watcher), are said to be his eyes, and one or more is usually present in the heavens, with the result that actual nighttime, known as truedark, occurs for only one week every two and a half years.

Aa is a beneficent god, kind to his subjects and merciful to his enemies. And, in the words of the narrator, "*if you believe that one, gentlefriends, I've a bridge in Godsgrave to sell you.*"

## In the Itreyan Mythos

In all religions, there must be an adversary. An evil for a good. A black for a white. For folk of the Republic, this role is filled by Niah, Goddess of Night, Our Lady of Blessed Murder, sisterwife to Aa, also referred to as the Maw.

In the beginning, Niah and Aa's marriage was a happy one. They made love at dawn and dusk, then retired to their respective domains, sharing rule of the sky equally. Fearing a rival, Aa commanded Niah bear him no sons, and dutifully, the Night bore the Light four daughters~ Tsana, the Lady of Fire, Keph, the Lady of Earth, and finally the twins Trelene and Nalipse, the Ladies of the Oceans and Storms, respectively. However, Niah missed her husband in the long, cold hours of darkness, and to alleviate her loneliness, she chose to bring a boychild into the world. The Night named her son Anais.

Aa, however, was outraged at his wife's disobedience. As punishment, Niah was banished from the sky. Feeling betrayed by her husband, Niah vowed vengeance against Aa and has not spoken to him since. Aa is still sulking about the whole affair.

As for their son, Anais, his fate remains a mystery.

It is said that it was during the first Great Tithe that Aa gifted his daughters dominion over the elements. To Tsana, his firstborn, he gave the rule of fire. To Keph, the earth. To Trelene, the oceans. Nalipse, the storm. In return, the daughters gave their father their love and obedience.

## Worship

Aa is the primary deity of Itreya, and the most widely worshipped.

## Appearance

According to Mia, he has bronze skin, a robe made of blinding white light, and three eyes each the color of his suns.
Liviana Scaeva

**Liviana Scaeva** was the wife of Consul Julius Scaeva. She was unable to bear children and raised her husband's bastard son as her own. Liviana and her husband appeared to be a harmonious couple at the Venatus Magni, and were even openly affectionate with one another. But knowing Scaeva and his true nature, and if his previous relationships are anything to judge by, this likely could not be farther from the truth.
Byern

**Byern** was a gladiatii of the Remus Collegium. Together with his twin sister Bryn he formed an equillai - a special team of gladiatii. Little is known about his former life besides the fact that he was headed to a Ashkahi copper mine before Leona Remus bought him and gave him a spot in her collegium.
Blue Paulo

The only man in Last Hope with the ability to play a harpsichord. A local tomb raider, Paulo was found strung up from the rafters in his room two summers previous to the onset of *Nevernight*. Whether his end was suicide or the protest of another resident particularly opposed to harpsichord music was a topic of much speculation and very little investigation in the weeks following his death/murder.
Currency in Itreya

Coins in the Itreyan Republic come in three flavors

* Copper - the least valuable
* Iron - the middle child
* Gold - is the fanciest, gold

In the words of the narrator, gold coins were about as rare as a likable tax collector, most plebs never laying eyes on one in their lives.

## Slang

Itreyans coinage was originally referred to as "sovereigns", but given Itreya's penchant for brutally murdering their monarchs, the term has long since fallen out of vogue. Coppers were now sometimes referred to as "beggars", and irons as "priests", since those were the people usually found handling them with the most enthusiasm.

There was no commonly accepted slang for gold coins - anyone rich enough to possess them likely wasn't the sort who went in for nicknames. Or handled their own money.

The narrator refers to them as "tossers".
Maggot

**Maggot** served as a healer of the Remus Collegium. Though she was young of age, she was skilled in her craft and worked dutifully under Leona Remus until she was poisoned.

Maggot informs Mia that all she knows about herbcraft was from her mother.

## Trivia

* Maggot got her name through the larva she bred in a shed and used for healing methods.
Don

A formal Itreyan term for sir or lord. It can be used as a title, e.g., Don Corvere (Lord Corvere), or as an address, e.g., Mi Don (My Lord). The term is usually utilized alongside a surname, e.g., Darius Corvere is Don Corvere, but it has, on occasion, been used with a given name, e.g., Tric is Don Tric. While the term was undoubtedly coined by the affluent upper classes, it is used by the entire Itreyan Republic, regardless of the formality of the situation or the context of its use.
Hearthless

The **Hearthless** are a part of Itreyan folklore.

## General Information

The dead were once sent to the keeping of Niah and held forever in her loving embrace. But after the Mother's fall from grace, it was deemed that Niah's daughter Keph would take care of the righteous dead instead. Tsana, Goddess of Fire, created a mighty hearth in Keph's domain to keep the dead warm. And there they dwell in light and happiness, until the ending to the world.

Wicked souls, however, are said to be denied a place by the fire. Known as the Hearthless, they are common figures in Intreyan folklore, blames for almost everything that goes wrong in ordinary life. Why people insist on blaming the supernatural instead of owing up to their own bullshit is one of life's greatest mysteries.

Furian

**Furian** is a former gladiatii and champion of the Remus Collegium. Little is known about his former life, but he ultimately gained a spot in Leona Remus's collegium of which he later became the champion. At an undefinied time he also became the lover of his mistress. Furian himself was Darkin but ignored his powers and didn't acknowledge his heritage. He also had no passenger and refused to explore his gift, believing it an abomination.

Mia Corvere killed Furian during the climax of the Venatus Magni. At the moment of his death, she was shown a brief vision of a night sky, set with a large glowing orb, and heard the words *"The many were one. And will be again."* After seeing this phantasm, Mia realized her shadow was dark enough for four.

## Appearance

As a gladiatii, Furian is fit with hard muscles, but lither than his fellows. Mia Corvere describes his face as *"so fine it might've been sculpted by the weaver herself"* with dark eyes and black hair that falls around his shoulders.

## Furian’s History

Before the events of Godsgrave, Furian was a slaver. He captained a slave ship called the “Iron Gull.” During one of his raids on a city called Ysiir, his crew took a priest. They tortured the man and were about to feed him to the Whitedrakes when he prayed for Aa to forgive the crew and Furian. Furian decided to spare the man’s life. Over the course of a year, the priest tutored Furian in the ways of the Everseeing. He preached that Furian could find his humanity if he embraced the Light. The priest called Furian “nothing but an animal.” Once Furian accepted the Everseeing into his life, he sailed his ship the the Hanging Gardens and sold himself into slavery. His goal is to be declared a free man, rather than just an animal.
Forde

**Forde** was a Blade. She is part of one famous tale of dedication of the Red Promise. She was employed to murder King Agvald III.

Agvald was far fonder of excess than running his kingdom, and after a lengthy session of passing the hat, his nobles managed to scrape together the coin necessary to have him professionally done in. And so, on the nevernight of the king's thirtieth birthturn, Forde infiltrated the king's bedchambers and waited there in the dark for her quarry.

Agvald had decided to celebrate his thirtieth year in style. After an extended session of drinking with his court, the king retired to his boudoir with six concubines and an entire suckling pig. During the debauchery that followed, Agvald attempted to eat a rack of ribs whilst being serviced by three of his simultaneously. Sadly, the feat required more coordination than anticipated, and unlike his concubines, the good king inhaled when he should have swallowed.

Agvald toppled to the floor, clutching his throat and slowly turning blue. But as the royal concubines watched in amazement, Forde appeared from the shadows and proceeded to pound upon the king's back until the offending rib bone was coughed clean across the bedchamber. Forde offered the grateful king a cup of water, soothed his ruffled nerves. And once the sovereign was adequately calmed, the Blade proceeded to stab Agvald six times in the heart and cut his throat from ear to ear. "Why?" cried one of the horrified concubines. "Why save his life only to kill him?" The Blade glanced to the pig's rib and shrugged. "The promise was mine."
Niccolino

**Niccolino** was the older brother of Cloud Corleone by two years. Cloud told Mia about him and mentioned that he could sing so well that he could *shame a lyrebird*. He often sung around the house, which drove Cloud mad but made their mother proud. Nicco became part of the church choir when he was fourteen. All of a sudden he stopped singing and told his mother that he didn't want to be in the choir anymore and didn't want to visit church. His mother ignored his wishes and made him go back.

One nevernight Nicco came home from practice and was shaking and crying. When his younger brother asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't answer. But he was bleeding on his bedding. He finally told his mother that the bishop had hurt him. implying that he had been raped. His mother did not believe him and hit the boy instead.

Ultimately, Nicco decided to jump off the Bridge of Broken Promises four turns later with bricks in his shirt. He had been in the water a week when they finally found him. The bishop came to his funeral, said the mass over his stone and embraced the brothers' mother, telling her everything would be alright.
The Spine

Located in the heart of the grand capital of Godsgrave, the seat of Itreyan power, these cavernous halls are inhabited and utilized by the hedonistic marrowborn, often dripping with opulence, finery from all corners of known world, stretching to the farthest reaches of the Republic. Business is conducted, liaisons are arranged, senators are bribed and blackmailed, murders and usurpations are plotted, and court intrigue and politics are in full swing, all within these polished ivory gravebone halls, gleaming with false chastity.
Drusilla

The Lady of Blades, Drusilla, by PhantomRin

**Drusilla** is the former Revered Mother of the Red Church and, despite her apparent old age, one of the deadliest servants of the Black Mother alive. Drusilla failed Mia in her final trial, and it was only after the intercession of Cassius, the Lord of Blades, that the girl was inducted.

Upon Lord Cassius's death near the end of *Nevernight*, Drusilla succeeded him as the head of the Red Church, becoming the Lady of Blades. Though she claims devotion to the Black Mother, Drusilla has been working in league with Consul Scaeva to ensure his ambition of seizing control of the Itreyan Republic.
Nevernight (term)

The common term for night in The Nevernight Chronicle. Because true darkness only arrives in Itreya once every two and a half years, Itreyan days are determined by the winds. The day lasts until the "Turn", the changing in the winds. Once the winds change, or turn, the "night" begins, but since the suns do not set and remain high and burning in the sky, it is referred to as the "nevernight", due to the lack of darkness, and hence, actual night.
Marielle

Marielle by PhantomRin

**Marielle** is one of two albino sorcerii in the service of the Red Church. She is a master of the ancient Ashkahi magik of flesh weaving, capable of sculpting skin and muscle as if it were clay. However, the toll she pays for her power is a steep one - her own flesh is hideous to behold, and she has no power to change it.

Marielle cares for nothing and no one save her brother Adonai, and he, perhaps too much.

## Appearance

She is an albino like her brother with white hair and pink eyes. Due to the price of flesh weaving her skin is hideous and covered with sores with split lips that leak. After Anais is revived, she is able to weave without her own flesh becoming corrupted and restores herself to her former beauty.

Augustus Scipio

The former high executioner of the Itreyan Senate, **Augustus Scipio** was the attending executioner at the hanging of Darius Corvere.

## Description

Scipio is described as utterly repugnant. He had sclerosis skin, his shallow chin lost in folds of stubbled fat. A sheen of spittle hung at his mouth, whiskey's kiss scrawled across his cheeks and nose. His eyes were blue, bright as the sunsburned sky. His hands were rope raw, his teeth yellow and rotten. Complete with a harelip and a chilling carrion smile.

## Part in the Chronicle

Scipio was the hangman present at the execution of the Kingmaker rebels, Darius Corvere and Gaius Antonius. He was also Mia Corvere's first true kill. It was his teeth that Mia used as her Tithe for the Maw.

Dona

A formal Itreyan term for miss or lady. It can be used as a title, e.g., Dona Corvere (Lady Corvere), or as an address, e.g., Mi Dona (My Lady). The term is usually paired with a surname, e.g., Ashlinn Järnheim is Dona Järnheim, but it has, on occasion, been applied to a given name, e.g., Mia Corvere is Dona Mia. While the term was undeniably meant to be formal, its use is prevalent even outside of Itreya, regardless of the formality, or informality, of the situation in which it is said.
Carlo Ribisi

An Itreyan loresman and the undisputed expert of the study of sand krakens.

Ribisi theorized the beasts are a kind of desert worm, mutated by magikal pollutants from the ruins of the Ashkahi Empire. He postulated that the beasts are possessed of canine-level intelligence, and to prove his theorem, captured an infant sand kraken, brought it back to the Grand Collegium, and attempted to train it in simple tasks.

Ribisi constructed stone mazes, filled them with earth, and set the beast (whom he named "Alfi", after a much-beloved familia pet) loose inside them. Alfi would be rewarded with food if he successfully traversed the labyrinth. Ribisi introduced more complex patterns as Alfi grew in size (six feet long at his last recorded measurement), also incorporating simple devices such as latches and doors to prove the beast's growing intelligence. Sadly, Alfi utilized this knowledge one nevernight in escaping his enclosure, murdering the better part of the zoology staff including a rather disappointed Ribisi.
Western Desert Campaign

The

☀**Western Desert Campaign** (**Desert War**), took place in the deserts of Egypt and Libya and was the main theatre in the North African Campaign during the Second World War. The campaign began in September 1940 with the Italian invasion of Egypt; Operation Compass, a British five-day raid in December 1940, led to the destruction of the Italian 10th Army. Benito Mussolini sought help from Adolf Hitler, who responded with a small German force sent to Tripoli under Directive 22 (11 January). The German *Afrika Korps* (*Generalleutnant* Erwin Rommel) was under nominal Italian command but Italian dependency on Nazi Germany made it the dominant partner.

In the spring of 1941, Axis forces under Rommel pushed the British back to Egypt except for the port of Tobruk, where the Siege of Tobruk took place until it was relieved during Operation Crusader. The Axis forces were forced to retire to where they had started by the end of the year. In 1942 Axis forces drove the British back again and captured Tobruk after the Battle of Gazala but failed to gain a decisive victory. On the final Axis push to Egypt, the British retreated to El Alamein, where at the Second Battle of El Alamein the Eighth Army defeated the Axis forces. They were driven out of Libya to Tunisia, where they were defeated in the Tunisian Campaign.

For Hitler the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union dwarfed the desert war, which was a holding action of secondary importance. The Axis never had sufficient resources or the means to deliver them, to defeat the British. The British missed several opportunities to finish the campaign by diverting resources to Greece and the Levant in 1941 and the Far East in 1942.
Cloud Corleone

## King of Scoundrels

**Bonifazio Corleone** is the captain of the *Bloody Maid* and current King of Scoundrels.

## History

Together with his mother and his older brother Nicco, Cloud grew up in Godsgrave. His father had been sent to The Philosopher's Stone. His mother was a god-fearing daughter of Aa and brought her boys to church every turn. After being raped by Francesco Duomo, then a Bishop, and their mother refusing to believe him, his brother ultimately killed himself.

## Appearance

He is described as being clad all in black: a leather vest over a finely cut shirt (unlaced perhaps a touch too far) and a pair of what can only be described as conspicuously tight pants. He has emerald-green eyes and wears a feathered tricorn hat.

## Trivia

* The name Corleone is a reference to the Godfather.
Mercurio

**Mercurio** was Mia's trainer and confidant in the time before she joined the Red Church. He was a Church Blade of Our Lady of Blessed Murder himself for many years, but has long since retired to Godsgrave. The old Itreyan ran a store called Mercurio's Curios and served as information broker and talent scout for the servants of the Black Mother, until the Ministry called him out of retirement in the wake of the catastrophe of the Järnheim betrayal and the death of Cassius, Lord of Blades. He served as the Bishop of Godsgrave for a short period, before Mia convinced him to turn against the Red Church and aid her mad quest for vengeance.

## Appearance

Mia Corvere first describes him as "*old beyond his years*", with "*stained hands and fading eyes*" and cheeks like sandpaper.

## Personality

According to the narrator, a grumpier old bastard was never found under any of the three suns.

## Relationships

### *Mia Corvere*

After Mia was orphaned by the Itreyan Senate, Mercurio took the young girl under his wing. He trained her, teaching her all he knew, and succeeded in forging her into a formidable assassin. A fact he was once exceedingly proud of. Mercurio regarded Mia as his finest pupil, the greatest talent he had ever sent into the Mother's service. Although he is outwardly harsh and unsympathetic toward the girl, he has proven multiple times that this is not the case. Even after Mia's failure of her final trial at the Red Church, Mercurio did not disown her. Deep down, he truly cares for Mia Corvere, even if he himself will not admit it, and he has continually, willingly, risked his life for her times beyond count. The girl is like a daughter to him, and he, a father to her.

Chivalry

Chivalry was the favored stallion of the Last Hope garrison commander, a marrowborn member of the Luminatii Legion named Vincenzo Garibaldi. A thoroughbred, the stallion is described as "*black as a chimney sweep's lungs*" and stands nearly twenty hands high. Chivalry was supposedly treated, and fed, better than most of Garibaldi’s men, and tolerated none but his master's hand.

That said, Chivalry greatly objected to and violently protested his theft at the hands of Mia Corvere in *Nevernight* as a means to cross the Ashkahi Whisperwastes and seek the Red Church, and, as punishment, sought to make her life a living hell. He partially succeeded, enough to earn the moniker "Bastard" from the girl. Their parting upon Mia's initiation as an acolyte was a glad one.

However, despite their supposed enmity, much later on in the novel, when Mia's need was dire, "Bastard" came to her aid, saving not only her life but the lives of Red Church Ministry, greatly improving their relationship. The two are in a much better place now, Mia even reminiscing fondly about the stallion during *Godsgrave.*

## Trivia

Chivalry's nickname, Bastard, is a reference to Robin Hobb's *Realm of the Elderlings* series, in which the protagonist is named FitzChivalry, meaning bastard of Chivalry.
Slave mark

**Slave Marks** are brands worn by slaves in the Itreyan Republic to show their status. One circle means unskilled labor, two circles means gladiator, and three circles means skilled labor, like doctor or musician. The slave marks are administered by the adminitarrii, using an arkemical that will grow back if the brand is cut out.
Bladesinger

**Bladesinger** is a former gladiatii of the Remus Collegium. She originated from the Isles of Dweym and was a novice to become a priestress one day. Before she was able to take her final vows, her temple was raided by pirates and Bladesinger was sold into slavery. She ultimately gained a spot in Leona Remus's collegium.

## Appearance

As an adult Dweymeri female, Bladesinger stands tall, with dark locks, knotted by salt. For fights inside the arena she wove knives into her saltlocks which she then swung to hurt other gladiatii.
Sidonius

**Sidonius** is a former gladiatii of the Remus Collegium. Earlier in his life he had served Darius Corvere as a Luminatii for five years. He wasn't present when his Justicus and Gaius Antonius were captured but instead got beaten near to death, branded as a coward and sold off into slavery after he didn't want to march on the capital. After six years in chains he ultimately gained a spot in Leona Remus's collegium.

When Mia was sold to the same collegium, Sid learned of her identity and took the girl under his wing, acting as a surrogate older brother.

## Trivia

* From his time as a Gladiatii, Sid had a slave mark on his cheek, marking him as the property of the Remus Collegium. He got it removed at Whitekeep's Iron Collegium together with the rest of the surviving falcons, using chartum liberii, which had been provided by the slaver Teardrinker.
Crow's Nest

**Crow's Nest** is an estate in Itreya. It is located in the south of the continent and sits atop a sheer hill, overlooking the sea and its cityport Crow's Rest. It formerly belonged to Darius Corvere and his familia. After his death it fell into the hands of Marcus Remus and his wife Leona Remus.

## Part in the Chronicle

The estate is first mentioned in *Godsgrave*, where it is revealed that it once belonged to Mia Corvere's familia before it fell into the hands of Marcus Remus. It is used by his widow Leona Remus to train and live with her gladiatii, the Remus Collegium.

The Battle of Seawall

* An armada of pirate lords who had sworn to resist the Itreyan dominance of the seas

**The Battle of Seawall** was an infamous clash in the earliest years of the Republic, and probaly the largest sea battle ever fought under the three suns. The Battle of Seawall involved four massive fleets; the Itreyan Navy under command of the Great Unifier, Francisco I, and a tithed fleet from the vassal state of Vaan clashed with Dweymeri clan ships under command of Bara Sundancer of the Threedrake clan, and an armada of pirate lords who had sworn to resist the Itreyan dominance of the seas. The resistance didn't last long.
