The Devilbeasts are

Yes. Demons consisted of many different species, but there were two main categories," she explained carefully. "One had magic power, and the other didn't. The latter didn't need the Red Mist to survive, but their appearance and intelligence were no different from regular animals. Examples of these beasts were Eight-feet Reptiles that carried supplies for the demons, and winged Devilbeasts that could carry demons into the air.

Of course not. Low-level demonic beasts were nothing but food for demons, while powerful mutant demonic beasts were actual threats to demons. When the 'Months of the Demons' arrived, their attacks usually decreased, giving us some time to recover." Agatha paused and changed the subject to the nearby enemy, "If there are Dinotheres around, that means a Demon's Town can't be far away… Where are they?"

## Known variants

Judgement Army

– Archbishop Soli Daal comparing knights with Judgement Warriors

The **Judgement Army** (审判军) was the main force of the Church. They were well trained, disciplined, fanatical and loyal to the organization. The Judgement Army was virtually annihilated after the defeat of the Church at the hands of Roland Wimbledon and the First Army, with the remnants either being eliminated later or were absorbed into the Kingdom of Graycastle.

## Overview

The Judgement Army in terms of equipment and battle tactics were very similar to the other feudal armies of the era but they were unique on their own terms too.

### Discipline

All judgement warriors are conditioned to be fanatically loyal to the Church and are second only to the First Army in terms of discipline. Unlike the noble knights, judgement warriors usually care little for personal glory and only seek to bring benefits to the Church in whatever way they can.

### Training

A single judgement warrior was comparable in terms of skill and training to a knight, often making them formidable warriors.

## Strength

Because they are warriors and not soldiers, their combat abilities vary from person to person.

## Organization and Tactics

Just like other armies, the lower rank warriors followed the orders of the higher ranked warriors.

## Equipment

The general equipment used by the members of the Judgement Army are as follows:

* Swords
* Spears
* Judgement Army’s Armor
* Crossbows
* Cold Expelling Pills
* God's Stones of Retaliation

## Notable Members

火焰
--

Anna tells the true story of how she was implicated. Anna's father was a miner at North Mine, but when it collapsed, Anna along with 2 friends Susan and Ansgar went to rescue him. They found a looter who was pickpocketing her father, so Anna killed him. A day later, her father turned her in as a witch for a hefty sum of gold.

Chen decides to release that witch. He breaks the God's Locket of Retribution that was restraining Anna's magic. Anna then displays her flame magic power, melting the iron bars in her dungeon cell.

Impressed, Chen decides to hire her.
Healing magic

With the absence of antibiotics, there was no modern medicine there, people with a traumas or infection would likely encounter death in these ages . As such, rapid wound healing was almost the equivalent of saving many lives. This ability is very limited in promoting the progress of civilization as a whole, but it has amazing significance for an individual life.

## Nana

Nana Pine has the power of healing, as she discovered when she first healed a bird with a broken leg.

She could restore the damaged parts, including splits, fractures and bruises. But If the body part was completely missing, for example, after the chicken feet were cut off, she could not regenerate claws. But the broken claws could be connected if she used her ability to make the fracture intact. Finally, she could not reverse life and death. Once the chicken died, her treatment became useless.

Throughout the whole treatment, Roland did not see the "sticky water" that she described. She simply put her hand on the chicken's wound, and then it was healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After several experiments, Nana did not deplete much energy, at least she did not sweat profusely like Anna.

Epsilone

God's apostle in the Divine Domain. She was the one to kill Lan, the traitor. In the process, Lan whispered something to her which made her start having emotions that apostles shouldn't have.

One of the 3 apostles in charge of finding the Dream World's creators and eliminating them.  Although she was supposed to be outside of Delta's space created to isolate Zero from the Dream World, when Roland appeared and eventually destroyed it, she was nowhere to be seen.
Later, she appears intact in the room where Gamma was waiting with Betta and kills Gamma after Betta leaves, and assumes its place. It is also then that it is revealed that she started questioning "God".

Sometime after, she sends Roland Gamma's astrolabe, which allows him to witness the moment the universe got imbued with magic. Later, she appears at the Sky City confronting Roland after transforming from the Martialist Association's President appearance to herself. There she explains that creating illusions and misdirection is one of her abilities, that she mailed Roland the astrolabe and that she only killed him to ask God something. She also exposes that God was the one to create the barrier that is preventing him from escaping from the Dream World, in order to prevent it from touching the Divine Domain.

She then reveals that the Fallen Evils and the Erosion were all her creation and takes rips her own astrolabe and gives it to Roland, in order for him to break God's barrier and expand the Dream World into the Divine Domain. After Roland absorbs it, she dies.  Even though she is killed, it appears to not be permanent since the Apostles can reincarnate inside God's territory, as long as God is stil alive. Later on, however, with the Custodian's passing of the mantle to Roland Wimbledon, before merging with the retreating previous Custodian she appeared alongside the other Oracles and waved towards him with a contented expression, obviously having obtained the answers that she sought.

Hummingbird

**Hummingbird** is a witch of the Witch Union and former member of the Witch Cooperation Association.

## Appearance

Hummingbird is a small cute girl with symmetrical dimples, a delicate face and a sweet soft voice. Her youthful appearance suggests she awoke as a witch as a child.

## Personality

Despite her age, Hummingbird is very pure and childlike. She rarely understands what's going on in the adult world, so she usually keeps to herself; though she indirectly asks Lily to explain things.

Hummingbird takes Roland'a ideology "work hard if there's work, and play if there's nothing to do" to heart; she shares the concept with new members of the Witch Union. She often spends her free time with Mystery Moon, Lily and Lightning, playing Gwent.

## Background

In Witch Cooperation Association she was responsible for lightening bags of wheat and dried fish, which allowed the witches to transport great amount of food effortlessly. In that way, they could easily take a lot of food with them, which significantly relieved the pressure on supplies.

## Chronology

Hummingbird was among the few who successfully returned to the camp after the association's failed journey to Holy Mountain. When Scroll offered to Leaf lead the remnant members of Witch Cooperation Association, the latter refused and explained she would try her luck in Border Town. If she won't return Scroll should guide the rest to the south or across straits.

Awaiting group was greeted by Nightingale and Lightning and brought to the castle where a feast was arranged for them. After that Hummingbird showed her abilities and was given a room on the second floor. At night witches gathered in Wendy's room and discussed their past and future, also wondering the reason behind Roland's kindness. Next morning she signed a contract with him.

## Powers & Abilities

### Magic

Her ability belongs to the enchanting type.

#### **Adulthood**

**Object Lightening:** She is able to greatly lower the weight of an object once she put her magic power into it. The weight of an object can be reduced close to that of air, which will make it almost float.

Her magic power would come into effect only when she touched non-living objects, which could not be a living entity. The larger the object was, the more time and magic power it consumed. However, once she successfully reduced its weight, the effect would last for several hours.

## Trivia

* Hummingbird shares her room with Lightning. An ironic pairing by their magic.

Horford Quinn: The Sixth King of the Kingdom of Dawn

Horford Quinn, the sixth king of the Kingdom of Dawn, played a pivotal role in reshaping the fate of his realm during a tumultuous period marked by political strife and external conflicts. His reign marked a significant shift in diplomatic relations, notably with the neighboring Kingdom of Graycastle.

During the era of King Appen Moya, the Kingdom of Dawn found itself entangled in a series of disagreements with the Kingdom of Graycastle. The primary source of discord lay in the contrasting views held by King Appen and Graycastle's monarch, King Roland Wimbledon, particularly concerning the treatment of witches within their realms.

in a turn of events, Horford Quinn rose to power, succeeding King Appen Moya. This transition marked a notable transformation in the relations between the Kingdom of Dawn and Graycastle.

## Layout

The arch-typed mountain rocks, which extended out from both sides, wrapped around the entire town like two huge arms. The rays of sunlight slanted along the finger-wide crevice, forming a wall of golden shimmers.
Numberless vines, which looked like green hair, grew out of the bottom of the rocks. Some bulky ones even reached the ground, tempting people to climb up.

When the sun rays sifted through dense twigs and branches and splintered up
into glints of the muttering brook, Roland felt like he was in a untraversed forest. However, the area was not completely uncultivated. Along **Soundless River** stood different types of buildings constructed by men. Townsmen passed through waist-high bushes back and forth. Streaks of smokes could be detected from the distance. Everything around this area was in perfect harmony with nature.

Edith had the study **Castle of Jadeforest** refurbished, making it look like the one in the Border Area. knocked down a wall with a sunny exposure and replaced it with a French window.

## Chronology

Roland stayed in **DeepValley Town** to prepare War against the Church.

Instrument of Divine Retribution

"The Instrument of Divine Retribution can deprive the targets of their magic power, and these monsters will die soon without the power in their bodies." Pasha briefly described how this instrument worked and continued. "But it'll only become a mighty weapon when it's activated by the Chosen One."

Roland caught the keyword immediately. "Deprive them of their magic power? So does it mean that it'll do no harm to normal animals? Can God's Stones influence the instrument?"

"No, it directly affects magic power, and God's Stones can't do anything about it at all."

Learning that this instrument could affect an area within a radius of over 5,000 miles without causing any side effects to living beings without magic power, Roland had to admit it was really an environmentally friendly weapon. Unfortunately, however, its start-up requirement seemed too harsh.

The next turn Roland, Anna, Wendy, Nightingale, Sylvie, Lightning and Maggie visited it to have a better understanding of it, but were attacked by two Mad Demons that were flying on Demonic beasts.

The following visit, originally intended to include Anna, Nightingale, Wendy, Leaf, Agatha, Sylvie, Iffy, Lightning, Maggie and various soldiers from the First Army, but was cut short due to a attack from a few Mad Demons, Fearsome Demons and a single Senior Demon.

The fourth survey, done again by the flying duo Lightning and Maggie, revealed that the demons were retreating from the Town, since the Red Mist appeared to be fading.

Cottage

In the rear castle gardens stood a single cottage, surrounded by a wooden fence. The cottage was built out of clay bricks and the ground was filled with loess, a mixture of sand, silt and clay. There was also a pond in front of the cottage with a circumference of roughly nine and a half yards and with the pond filled with an appropriate amount of river water, this environment was not only difficult to burn but also had a certain manufactured feel, it seemed to be taken right out of a dream. Piled atop the ground were several iron ingots, these came from the blacksmith and were placed there by Carter.

The pond was very charming, Roland had immediately taken a fancy to this place, but as for a laboratory, this place was still too crude. Roland shook his head, realizing that using some random materials and having them build a perfect lab was not possible. If he could find a suitable place in the future and collected all the resources, he would get Barov to start making him a workshop.

Iron Axe informs that demonic beasts are behaving strange, as if they're on a group mission, which is contrary to their usual habits.

At the same time, bison species of demonic beasts thrust themselves into the city wall and wolf species jumped on them to reach the top of the wall. The wolf species manages to injure one of the militia, however it's soon killed by Iron Axe.

Van'er orders other members to take their injured comrade to medical centre, he then saw a huge demonic hybrid coming towards the wall.
Guns

In fact, this era had all the conditions for guns to appear. Alchemists often created a powder, which was called ‘snow powder’, and was used for court celebrations. But this snow powder had the wrong recipe to be used as gunpowder, it was slow-burning and its explosion was more exaggerated than the damage it did.

In the next one hundred years, the prototype of guns – usable for war, will probably appear. Such firearms, because of their complicated operation, would require the collaboration of two people to shoot. Under normal circumstances they were only used as a single-shot weapon. But in terms of rate of fire and power, they were still not comparable with those of a well-trained archer.
Heathtalese

**Heathtalese** was a thrice upgraded demon, who taught demons the secrets of the Realm of Mind. She lived a thousand years ago, before the First Battle of Divine Will broke out, thus she had peaceful relations with the human race.

Heathtalese didn't care about her low fighting capacity and upgraded to satisfy her curiosity about unknown. For these views and physical weakness, she was considered alien among her kin and was treated with contempt.

## Background

Thousand years ago humanity and demons didn't hold hostility towards each other yet, so Heathtalese set contact with Cloud School. She had been taking human appearance and visited it to learn new knowledge.

She and the current king of Demons have had conflict about the Battle of Divine Will , but the tides of war isn't something that one or two people can resist.

Transformer successfully merged with three magic stones, however she had failed next upgrade ceremony, and had been devoured by her own magic power, without leaving the slightest trace behind her.

## Abilities

Heathtalese was not exceptionally powerful, she was weaker than a relatively strong Inferior Demon. Because of this, the clansmen treated her with utter contempt. However, Heathtalese had successfully merged with magic stones three times, she was considered a genius upgraded by Valkries in every aspect.

The Transformer had obtained the ability to transform after merging with her second magic stone. She could speak the human language fluently, making people think that she was human at first.

Heathtalese had had a more profound understanding of the Realm of Mind as well as the Origin of Magic than anyone else among demons. She had written dozens of books, half of which provided guidance to the later generations and helped them go through the upgrade ceremony. She was mentor for most of the demons.

## Relations

### Valkries

Valkries was very grateful to her first teacher who had taught her so many things and did not disdain Heathtalese because the latter was not good at fighting.

### Lan

Heathtalese was among many with whom Lan tried to establish contact, however she wasn't powerful enough to stabilize herself. When Heathtalese had dived into the Realm of Mind, she could only hear Lan's whispering, but she had never officially met her. Nevertheless, the Transformer later remembered what she looked like and took her shape.

## Trivia

* Her painting was in the illusion recorded after the First Battle of Divine Will. It misled Roland to think Lan has lived in the past of the original world.

Garcia Wimbledon/Chronology

## Chronology

A few years ago, Garcia sent Tyre to spy on Roland and kill him if possible when the time comes. They have succeeded in killing Roland, but this allowed Cheng Yan to take over, which was a boon as he was able to protect his people against the Demons when the time arrived.

### Queen of Clearwater

While awaiting Blacksail Fleet's arrival, Garcia discussed the Royal Decree and her future goals with her aide Ryan Koban. She was dissatisfied, that the assassination attempt on Roland failed and ordered to strike again when the Months of Demons come.

After receiving a letter of her father's death, Garcia decided to capture Eagle City, the main city of Southern Region and residence of Duke Kohl.

After several battles with Timothy and discovering the Church's plan, Garcia decides to give up on the battle for the throne and takes over the Kingdom of Eternal Winter from the church. During the battle, she captures, tortures, and executes Archbishop Heather.

She joins an alliance with the Kingdom of Wolfheart and helps defend their King's City from the Church. During the battle, however, their forces are overrun, and she tried to retreat back to the Kingdom of Everwinter. However, before she could do so, her God's Stone of Retaliation was disabled by Isabella, and she was absorbed by Zero. Garcia put up a struggle, but was ultimately subsumed by Zero; her ambitious personality however, was so strong that it had a severe impact on Zero's own mindset.

She is a popular martialist and doesn't remember anything related to previous life. She secretly is in the Martialist Association and protects the people from Fallen Evil, awakened men and women of Dream World who succumbed to violence.

## Footnotes

1. ↑ The new name of her Dream World's identity **Jia Xiya** 嘉.西亚 (Mandarin: Jiā Xīyà) is merely the Chinese transliteration of her given name, **Garcia** 嘉西亚 (Mandarin: Jiāxīyà). That explains her Dream World father's name, Jia De 嘉.德 (Mandarin: Jiā Dé), which shares with hers the surname. In the Qidian translation, they used **Garde** for his name and retain **Garcia** as her Dream World identity's name.

Festivity

**Festivity** or **Festive Harbor** is a town founded to celebrate the unification of the Southernmost Region with the Kingdom of Graycastle. It is located in the Endless Cape of Southernmost Region.

## Background

This Region was a settlement to exile prisoners.

The reason the Endless Cape had always been a settlement to exile prisoners was that there had literally been nothing except perils and dangers. Even the most experienced hunter would not be able to survive on this land. Sand Nationals believed only **Three Gods** could build a town with hundreds of thousands of residents out of this bleak emptiness.

## Chronology

Kingdom of Graycastle had to solve a few problems to establish a city in the Endless Cape.

**Water**:

A large pond surrounded by numerous sheds covered with black films. They did not find anything unusual about it at first, but after the Months of Demons, white salt had come out of the seawater. Water vapor condensed into liquid on the films, trickled down a slope into a groove, and finally into a water storage tank. Water was collected in a much faster manner when heat went up. Although they could not produce much drinking water with one pond, they could collect a lot with several hundred.

As the number of such ponds increased, they now not only had sufficient water for daily use but also excess for the ships from City of Neverwinter. These films became the lifeline of the town.

**Use local materials to build houses.**

They built numerous furnaces, fueled them with the Blackwater, filled them with dirts from the bottom of the sea, and then mixed them with sifted fine sand to make bricks. Since there was an inexhaustible supply of dirts and sand, soon brick houses rose at the **Festive Harbor**, with double-bricked external walls and ceilings. Although the houses were not shaded by trees like those on the oases, they were, at least, proper dwellings.

**Food**

They instructed them to spread dozens of fishing nets at the beach, which would totally submerge in tidal waves when the seawater rose. Once tides ebbed way, many strange creatures would cling to the nets, such as crabs, sea snakes and sea urchins.

## Natural Ressources

The word "black" was the term they used specifically to describe the black water of the **Styx River**, which was the only product produced at the Endless Cape. Nonetheless, as the mine gradually expanded, Sand Nationals found two more underground streams bearing two different colors: deep red and dark green.They were both combustible, only their properties and scents were quite different. To avoid confusion, they called the black water "black".

## Trivia

* Festivity is the second town that Roland had named, other than Neverwinter.
* Festivity in original is Daqing.
* Someone tried to steal the black films from the pond.

Cornelius Fletcher

**Baron Cornelius** is a former noble of Border Town.

## Personality

Cornelius is a coward, greedy noble. His house in Border Town was worth 20 - 30 gold royals, but he asked Roland to compensate with 150 gold royals.

## Chronology

Before Months of Demons Cornelius fled to Longsong Stronghold and hastily returned by ship after it ended to buy high-end fur first and sell his house, only to find it was demolished.

He went to Roland for explanations and compensation but had to step back; Roland explained that mansion hindered the Militia to defend the city wall and thus it was destroyed. As for compensation, the owner was Brian who already was paid off. Roland offered to the indignant noble to either admit the mansion didn't belong to him and he misunderstood there or confess in leaving the town without his lord and thus be sentenced to hanging. After Cornelius chose the former option, Roland asked him to tell the other nobles if they won't admit they had abandoned their lord they shouldn't return to the town.

However, the truth is that Roland planned to provoke both Duke Ryan and the 5 noble families into attacking Border Town through Cornelius. The main reason for doing so is because Roland wanted to loot the stronghold to gain more manpower, workforce and gold royals for expanding his town.

On his way back to the ship, while cursing Roland silently, he passed by Leaf and was moved by her beauty..
Horses

The Ambassador and his assistant rode on rented horses, coming slowly forward on the stone road along the river.

Dungeon

The dungeon (地牢) where Chen first meets Anna

The dungeon was small, this barren land could not afford to have too many prisoners. Most criminals would face trial after a few days and either be released or killed.

In addition to Barov, the Prince was entering the dungeon with the Knight Commander, the prison warden, and two guards.

The dungeon had a total of four levels and the walls were built out of hard granite blocks. It was Roland’s first time being at this kind of place and he noted the deeper he got, the narrower the hallway became.The number of cells was also reduced. He thought they probably they dug a pit in the form of an inverted cone first, and then build layer after layer out of stone.

This rough project would of course not have a good drainage system. The ground was wet and the muddy sewage was flowing down the stairs, down to the last floor.

The witch was at the bottom of the dungeon. Each layer they went down, the stench in the air became thicker and colder.
