Mural

A **Mural** depicting the history of the House of Wunderbred, and possibly all of the Great Houses of the Age of Queens, as well as their descendants the Glamazons, has been found in several different locations in the world.

One copy of the mural is found in underground tunnels beneath Wunderbred Manor. The four queens of Booty and the Hofish briefly saw it as they rode a dumpster along a mine rail through the tunnels.

A second copy of the mural was covered up by a fake wall inside of the Temple of Boom on Fire Island. As many of the locations on the HOG side of the island seem to be connected to Glamazon history, and the treaty with the HOGs stipulates preserving these artifacts, this might have been done to preserve the mural. Unfortunately, some of the panels were damaged, possibly during attacks by seaspawn.

The two murals were slightly different. The one on Fire Island was longer, with more panels. Cleric Ellen hypothesized the missing panels would show more of the history of the Glamazons, but wasn't sure.

The panels include:

* Panel 1: Woman with bright, colorful hair giving out gifts, medicine, and performing for other people. In the background is Wunderbred Manor with a tower standing behind it.
* Panel 2: Monster attacks, barren fields, and death.
* Panel 3: Similar to the first ,but shadowy, swirly hair replaces the colorful hair, and the tower is missing.
* Panel 4: A blur of teeth, eyes, and claws
* Panel 5: Three figures riding a boat to a ring of islands.
* Later panels are destroyed.
Old Gods

The **Old Gods** are a collection of deities who were active in the world in ages past. Many of them have been sealed away on other planes. It is unclear why the gods were sealed away, except that most of the Old Gods who have been seen or referenced appear to be evil or destructive in nature, causing more harm to the world. Despite this, group's and individuals all around the world seek to restore them to the mortal plane. Others may not actively be trying to release them, but might express the unpopular opinion that they think things would be better with the Old Gods ruling over them.

Known Old Gods include: the Kracken, Lolth, Elistraee, Cal-Gon, Tiamat, Vecna, and Orcus.

Each was seemingly sealed away to different planes. The Kracken was sent to the Water Plane. Elistraee after a fight with her sister Lolth, was sealed in a chamber underneath the Glama Islands and tied to the ethereal plane, while Lolth was sealed in the Demon Web Pits. Seals could be guarded. Lolth's phase spiders guarded her sister's chamber. The water genasi of Oceanica used their weather powers to keep the Kracken's seal in tact. Those same powers faded when the Kracken was released.

Cults to the Old Gods were common. The Cult of Cal-Gon had a base in the Neverglades swamps, ruled over by a Priest, who would turn those deemed worthy into many lived cats. In the town of Watersport on Fire Island, a group of Kracken worshipers had a temple, which may have been connected to the Kracken's release.

## Behind the Queens

The Old Gods referenced in Queens of Adventure are a mixture of D&D gods and monsters, as well as some original deities, such as Cal-gon.
Hella FizzGerald

Hella FizzGerald held by Butylene - art by Cody Shipman

**Hella FizzGerald** is a demonic familiar possessed by Butylene O'Kipple. The formula to summon her was devised by the devil Barb.

## Appearance

Hella appears as a furry ball with eyes and a face, wreathed in flames. When open, the mouth takes up the majority of its size, and has two rows of sharp teeth. The flames are mostly illusory but do give off flames. When commanded to do so, Hella can change forms. Known forms include a centipede.

## Herstory

After forging a contract with Barb to secure the devil's assistance to the side of the Golden Palace during the Siege of the Kracken, Barb set up a distillery in the ruins of the Three Fingers Inn. As Butylene and her party prepared to head away for several days, Barb asked Butylene what he should work on. Butylene chose to have him work on creating a familiar, and provided some ideas for how it should look. Barb said it would take three days, the length of time Butylene would be gone.

Upon returning, and before setting out on her next quest, Butylene returned to the distillery. Barb said the formula was a success and explained how it worked. By combining three chemicals, and waiting an hour, Butylene can summon her familiar. The magic calls forth a soul from hell to be incased in the desired form. If injured, the familiar is dispelled until the elements are combined again. Barb had already done this once and provided Butylene with her companion, which she named Hella FizzGerald.

Butlyene took Hella with her down into the underdark, where she discovered the different ways the creature could produce light. Her traveling companion, Irene Dubois, tried several times to befriend the creature, succeeding only in alarming or angering her. When they were attacked by monsters part way into their descent, Butylene wished to protect her new pet and ordered it to shrink to the form of a centipede and to hide.

## Behind the Queens

* Hella's design is based off of the Fizzgig creatures from Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal. An unplanned coincidence had Hella make her first on air appearance the same week that the prequel tv series, Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance, was released.
* Hella's name is a combination of the California slang term 'Hella' short for "Hell of a Lot" and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as Fizz from Fizzgig.
Ziggurat

The **Obsidian Ziggurat** is a tomb located on the central island of the Glama Archipelago near Fire Island. It is the final resting place of Dame Celia Molestrangler and her great treasure.

## Herstory

According to legends, the ziggurat grew up around Dame Celia's body after it was laid to rest. It is unclear if this is an accurate depiction, or an artistic interpretation of the building process.

The structure is a step pyramid made of volcanic glass, and it is believed to be as big, if not larger, under the surface of the island as what is on top of it. It is guarded by Glamazons to prevent trespassers from trying to reach the island.

To reach the resting place of Dame Celia and the great treasure, worthy seekers must pass through several seals, most of which are unknown. Only the first has been recorded by the Glamazons: A curtain of magma that can only be opened by the Ice Scepter. This scepter is protected by the Ice Princess of the Crystal Palace on the Spine of the World, and only given to those who have proven potential worthiness through performance. Over the centuries many attempts have been made to enter the ziggurat, and some have been successful, but none have past all the tests required to reach the great treasure.

## Siege of the Kracken

During the Siege of the Kracken, Booty and the Hofish were in the process of arriving on the island to attempt and reach the Ziggurat when the scepter was stolen from them by Father Andson, a priest who may have been turned by the Kracken into a Kracken Priest, although if so the Kracken Priest did not have the scepter. The queens still journeyed to the Central Island upon realizing that was where their quest seemed to be guiding them, but did so in violation of the Treaty of Fire Island. They were arrested, sentenced to death, but survived their sentence.

After the death of the Kracken Priest, the Kracken announced to inhabitants of the island that they must bring it the treasure from the Ziggurat before the full moon or it would destroy the island.

A Pomeranian was spotted on the Ziggurat a few days later. Twenty four hours later, sea monsters began to climb onto the central island.

 The Mystery of LaBouche Gardens

```

Entrepreneur and performing arts enthusiast, **Lady LaBouche** is a dragonborn queen and the late proprietor of LaBouche Gardens Amusement Park.

In her life, she was one of the great queens, who became legends in the centuries after their time. She was renowned as a philanthropist, who used her fortune to support the residents of the valley near her park.

After her death, the park fell into disrepair, having failed to name an heir. This was because she hid the deed to the park and access to her remaining fortune within in the park as a treasure to be found only by someone worthy. Clues were hidden in draglish, the ancient language of queens, and instructed treasure seekers to vogue at locations around the park. This triggered Marked Mirrors to generate Magic Mouths that spoke clues, riddles, and challenges. Those who successfully past these tests must then battle the park mascot in battle, and do an impromptu musical performance to prove their worth.

A spectral version of Lady LaBouche appeared in a hidden office underneath the 17 foot tall statue of the park's mascot, Trixie LaBouche the gagging dragon, which housed the lost treasure. This apparition, either her ghost, or a magical construct with her personality, was the final arbiter of who was worthy of the treasure, and of being offered the chance and encouragement to start their own legendary drag house. She judged Arson Nicki worthy of receiving this chance, via the book "Works of the Sisters", but not rogue Harlotte O'Scara.

## Behind the Queens

* Within the live show "The Mystery of LaBouche Gardens", Lady LaBouche seems to be different than the Trixie LaBouche mascot character for the park. In later episodes, the spirit who appeared before the queens, and the Legendary Queen, are both called Trixie. It is possible that the later was based off of, and indistinguishable from, the former. For the sake of this wiki and until further clarification, the historical person will be called Lady LaBouche, and the mascot character Trixie LaBouche.
Surf Queens Memorial Weenie Roast

The **Surf Queens Memorial Weenie Roast**is an annual event to commemorate the work of the legendary Surf Queens in preserving the beach for future generations of party goers.

#### History

Legend says that centuries ago, the Surf Queens found a home on this stretch of beast, a place they could party all the time in peace. They did so for years until a local yacht club tried to drive them away with a powerful monster they controlled. The Surf Queens stood up against the yacht club, and bested their monster and took the Sandy Pooch, a driftwood sculpture from them. This protected the beach for generations to come. The weenie roasted was created to celebrate the anniversary of this final victory.

#### Present Day

The weenie roast consists mainly of a massive party on the beach, along with the titular weenie roast that runs all day and late into the evening. A family of bugbears has seemingly been involved in the event for centuries, organizing performers to headline the event.

The year Booty and the Hofish headlined, the performers also agreed to run a S'Mores booth after their show, which proved quite popular. Then they learned of the legend of the Surf Queens and set out to find their tomb and lost treasure in order to prove the legend was real and get the property declared a historical landmark to prevent Humphrey Silvercheeks from building a new yacht club on the property.

The quest was a success and the beach saved. The queens were then hired to be monthly entertainers at the beach, as the Weenie Roast is just one of many, many beach parties.
Cult of Rakdos

The **Cult of Rakdos** is one of the ten guilds in the world of Ravnica. During the Queens of Adventure episode of the Podcasts of Ravnica event, the Queens played as Cult members, whose performance was interrupted by officers of the Azoria Senate.

**The Other Jeannie Retelle** is a centaur barbarian drag adventurer and member of the drag house known as the Tuckernauts. She went on an adventure in the World of Wonder, and later attended the Fall Faerie Festival.

## Herstory

The Other Jeannie Retelle's early life and adventures are not documented. At some point she joined a group of drag adventurers known as the Tuckernauts. While on a journey with fellow queens Nocturna Lee Mission and Utica Queen to the Enchanted Wig Market, the trio were transported in their sleep to the World of Wonder. In the workroom they met a giant baby known as The Producer who explained they were chosen to undergo the Ship of Trials to determine if they had Legendary potential.

Despite being a barbarian, known for strength and rages, Jeannie showed care and concern for others early in the trial. When the first puzzle led to Nocturna being injured, she used her med kit to try and heal her sister (though it was mostly a placebo. When they were attacked by a ninja weapon wielding turtle, Jeannie first tried to befriend it by offering her remaining ration of pizza. Only when this proved ineffective did she go into a rage and trample the turtle and attack.

After successfully beating another group of queens in a catwalk contest, the Tuckernauts were declared to be Legendary and returned home.

In another adventure, Jeannie, Utica, and Kamaree Williams were brought to the Fall Faerie Festival to be the mortal team tasked with an important quest as part of the annual festivities.

Jeannie's later adventures are undocumented.

Theodor

> "*It's a commentary on the human condition, don't worry about it.*"
> ― Theodor
>
>

**Theodor** is a human barbarian zealot and a Noise Musician in the Cult of Rakdos in Ravnica.

## Herstory

It is unknown how Theodor came to be in the Cult of Rakdos, other than from a noble family who they did not want to embarrass too much.

During a time of heavy raids by the Azorius Senate on Cult facilities, Theodor performed one night at the Izzet Steamworks with a drum machine, when a knight and four arrestors raided the facility. Theodor and their fellow performers fought back. In a rage, Theodor yanked out tufts of hair (inspiring a trend in the crowd of the club caught up in the Carnival of the battle) and split open an arrestor with a jab of a trident.

Later, Theodor and their fellow performers were tasked by their superiors in the Cult with digging up information on who was behind the raids. Theodor used their massive size to intimidate informants into giving up information, including fellow Cult member, Basic Jane, who Theodor suspects is a double agent for House Dmir.

## Character Sheet

Theodor is a level six human barbarian, of the path of the zealot.

## Behind the Queens

* Theodor was created and played by Arson Nicki as part of the Podcasts of Ravnica event thrown by Wizards of the Coast.
Watersport

**Watersport** is a town on Fire Island. It is located on the northern edge of the western side of the main island. For years it was the administrative seat for the tourist side of the island until the Siege of the Kracken began.

The town consists of mostly randomly strewn buildings on a cliff over the ocean. Near its center is the town center consisting of three main buildings, including town hall and a bell tower. Town hall contained archives for the island's important documents, including a copy of the original treaty between the Glamazons who rule over the island, and their Honored Outside Guests, or HOGs, the name they give to the tourists.

Before becoming the administrative seat, it was a notorious smuggler's port for pirates.

After a storm, caused by the Kracken, broke out on the night of a full moon, seaspawn began to attack the island twice a day at high tide. The citizens of Watersport were overwhelmed. Many fled the island by boat, only to have their ships wrecked by the Kracken's forces, and the passengers dragged below the waves to become seaspawn themselves. Other inhabitants trekked across south to the Golden Palace resort to seek shelter and take part in the protection of the facility.

The rest of the townsfolk became the experiments of Barb, a powerful devil sent to the island to prepare a plan to destroy the Kracken. Barb's attempts to perfect mutagen to build an army, took over the library in town hall as his laboratory as various slimes and oozes, results of his experiments, ran loose in the town. Imps under his control manned the lighthouse, keeping watch and transmitting messages with light. Other experiments were causing the slow destruction of the town.

Belfry Ramshackle, proprietor of the Golden Palace, dispatched four adventuring queens to the town to retrieve the treaty and any other documents they could find, to help Belfry make contact with the Glamazons. While in the town, the party encountered Barb when their alchemist, Butylene O'Kipple, tried to negotiate a deal with the devil. Ultimately, negotiations turned to battle, and the library was destroyed by a combination of slime, ooze, and a magically grown tree. The adventurers managed to retrieve the documents, and free one of Barb's prisoners, Sir Throbardon, and escape.

At this point, the town remains abandoned, of citizens, tourists, and infernals. Much of it, especially the Town Hall and the Loose Lips tavern, are utterly destroyed by the battle between Booty and the Hofish and Barb.
Amon Duul the Third

> "*I'm gonna tell you up front: I did ask everyone else if we should kill you.*"
> ― Amon Duul the Third
>
>

**Amon Duul the Third** is a half-orc barbarian who woke up in Avernus and teamed up with other mortals to find a way out.

## Herstory

Amon woke up in the world of Avernus near four unfamiliar faces belonging to Pox, Dak Rambo, Arson Nicki, and Fox E Kim as a ferryman rowed up to them. Amon instantly wanted to kill the man.

The ferryman greeted them and offered to transport them across the river Styx back to the mortal world for the cost of one soul coin each. He advised them to head to the Citadel of Princeps Kovic who was known to have some. Amon and the others journeyed across the hellscape, and narrowly avoided being seen by Kovic as he returned on his large war machine vehicle.

As the party climbed the tower, defeated guards, and snuck around, Amon proved to be quick to attack. He leaped out of hiding to attack guards, killing them quickly with his axe. He charged at Kovic before the group had a plan, only to have Kovic catch him by the axe. Amon broke free and managed to hurt the devil before joining the others on the war machine as Dak got it up and running.

Once they returned, the ferryman suggested with the group's skills they could make formidable hell pirates. Amon considered it, but ultimately chose to travel back across the river, returning to his own world.

## Character Sheet

### Weapons/Equipment

* Hand Axe
* Great Axe
* Human Incisor

## Behind the Queens

Amon Duul was played by Gannon Reedy, the Gamemaster of NeoScum. In his introduction, he implied the character may appear in some form in the future of NeoScum.
Shady Pines

The **Shady Pines** are a forested region of the realm, known for its connection to shade magic. It was to here that Madame Lepus, a prominent queen of House Aubergine, fled when she succumbed to the power of shade. The pink palace of House Aubergine was only a few hours carriage ride from the Pines.

In addition to dense foliage, the region was known for dense fogs. These mists were tied to the shade, and would thicken or thin out within a moment.

The forest was home to a variety of magical fauna, including owlbears, satyrs, and dryads. There was also a colony of large wildcats who made the woods their home.

In addition to a lagoon with healing properties located deep in the forest, at its center was a small marsh. This is where Madame Lepus made her home, in a small mud and wood hut. What she was working on here has not been revealed.

The shade magic of the forest may have been tied directly to Lepus, or to the unknown mysterious voice who seemed to be controlling her. It may also have been separate from Lepus, as after she was healed by the combined efforts of a team of novices from House Aubergine, a path of light cut through the forest to aid them in leaving, but did not dispel all of the fog and shade from the Pines.
Theme Song

**The Queens of Adventure Theme Song** is written by Major Scales, and plays before every table play episode of the podcast starting with the first episode of Season One.

## Lyrics

“Are you ready for the ultimate test/
Drag Queens on a fabulous quest?/
Their hair’s snatched and their armor’s okay./
The only rule is slay or be slayed!

Are you ready for the ultimate game:/
Fighting evil with the warrior dames?/
With a sword or a magical scroll,/
Now sissy that roll.

Death drops and death saves,/
All tea and all shades/
Beat for the gods, yes queen./
Potions and reagents,/
Sickening Radiance, /
Come and feel the fantasy.

Now we’re ready for the ultimate fight./
So bring the dice and get your lashes on right./
You can play it with a wand or a bow./
These are some leg and dairy heroes, honey.

The queens are ready and they’re playing to win./
So turn your speakers up and give it a spin./
It’s the Queens of Adventure (Queens of Adventure),/
Queens of Adventure Shooooooow.”

## References

The song makes several references to concepts from Dungeons and Dragons (magical scrolls, dices, bows) and also to RuPaul's drag race and Drag Culture (hair's snatched, slay, all tea all shade, beat for the gods, leg and dairy).

## L.G.B.T.Q.

For the Pernicious Poisoning of Peachblossom, an alternate song was used for the theme, along with all other shows in the Pride Week Podcast event. The song is "L.G.B.T.Q." by Lizz Sooy.

## Behind the Queens

* The song was funded during the Kickstarter campaign for Season 1. It was unlocked as the final stretch goal for the campaign.
* A remixed version of the theme song is used for Queens of Adventure Legends, substituting "It's time for the Legends" for "It's the Queens of Adventure"
Sweet Dream

**Sweet Dream**, also known as Sonny, is a Nightmare, once owned by the horned devil Carol, and now owned by Butylene O'Kipple.

## Herstory

When Carol attacked the Glamazon Observatory, where a summit was being held, he did so astride a nightmare steed. As a battle erupted, Fraya Love doused the horse with water from a reflecting pool, putting out its fiery mane. Throughout the course of the battle, Fraya slowly convinced the steed to follow her, instead of Carol, who was being trounced on by all sides, including eventually his own subordinate and boss.

Following the battle, Fraya presented the steed to Butylene, who was of infernal lineage and had fire resistance. Butylene asked the nightmare its name using magic, and the nightmare replied 'Sonny'. It allowed Butylene to ride it back to the Golden Palace where it was stabled for the night, and given matches to eat, in the Flail Snail stables.

The next day, Butylene road her new steed, now named Sweet Dream, to Glamalala. Sweet Dream refused to wear a saddle, and even managed to ignite a flame resistant saddle Butylene tried to place on its back. Butylene instead rode bareback without incident. At the gates of the city, Sweet Dream and the Flail Snail mount of Fraya's were taken to Glamazon stables.

## Behind the Queens

* While initially the Queens determined to name the character Sonny, as counterpoint to the goddess Cher, by the time of the next recording session, the Queens and DM Matt had forgotten this and Butylene had changed the character's name to Sweet Dream.
Werks of the Sisters

The **Werks of the Sisters** is a book dating from at least the time of the Age of Queens. The exact nature of the book is not known, but it believed to hold chronicles of the Queens of Adventure of the Great Drag Houses. Several copies have been seen throughout the travels of Booty and the Hofish.

They first received a bejeweled copy of book from the spirit of Lady LaBouche after locating her secret vault at LaBouche Gardens. The spectral dragonborn queen presented it to them as a gift in exchange for their help saving the park. She explained it chronicled the Legendary Queens lives and sacred songs, and encouraged them to add their own to it. They lost their copy of the book when the SS Salty Starfish crashed on the way to Fire Island, but was recovered along with their copy of the Rise and Fall of the Great Houses from the Kracken Priest's lair.

Another copy was found in the dormitory of the Glamadrome in Glamalala when Booty and the Hofish underwent special training.

While exploring an Underdark City below Fire Island to recruit ancient drow drag warriors, they found the abandoned nascent drag house of the drow, and inside was an old copy of the Works.

## Behind the Queens

The fact that the Queens have not read the book (by Episode 36) has become a slight running joke in the Behind the Queens episodes. It was referenced several times during The Story So Far, which was possibly recorded sometime not too far after episode 36. It remains to be seen if the queens will ever read it, or if it will live up the hype.

The spelling of the book title comes from a character sheet provided to playtesters of early live shows.
Sknorf

**Sknorf** is a city in the Realm, and the hometown of Harlotte O'Scara.

The town houses both a noble class and an underclass populations, although there are many connections between the two. The head of the Ramshackle family is the current King of the Thieve's Guild. Through his son, Ramshackle, they once had a connection to the noble house O'Scara, as he dated their daughter Harlotte when she began her career as a rogue. Later, they became tied to the legendary pirate Belfry when she married Ramshackle.

Harlotte rarely visited the town, but referenced it often when introducing herself to people she met or during performances. After acquiring a gemstone in the House of Wunderbred, she returned to town and happened to find Ramshackle in residence who helped her identify the stone as a tool to unlock hidden potential within a person.
Spider Ring

> "*What does one do with their spider?*"
> ― Arson Nicki
>
>

The **Spider Ring** is a magical item. It appears as a small plastic ring with a spider on it. The ring grants the wielder with the power to summon a giant, mountable, spider.

One such ring was a prize, costing one ticket, in the arcade area of LaBouche Gardens amusement park. After playing several games and acquiring the key item they were seeking, the members of Booty and the Hofish bought the spider ring and gave it to Arson Nicki, a drow warlock who worships spider goddess Lilith.

She kept the ring with her through many adventures, even surviving a shipwreck that left her stranded on Fire Island.

While on a mission on Fire Island, she used the ring to summon her spider, and used it to help her climb the bell tower of Watersport's town hall and engage in combat with the devil Barb.

As she was turned into a drider as a result of that battle, Arson has not needed the services of the spider since, but has kept the ring.
Sir Throbardon

Sir Throbardon by Terry Blas

**Sir Throbardon**is an aarakocra fighter, and a tourist trapped on Fire Island.

## Herstory

Sir Throbardon and his squire Jim-Jim came to Fire Island for a vacation. While on route, a storm destroyed their ship and Sir Throbardon was believed lost by Jim-Jim who washed up with their companions at the Golden Palace resort.

In truth, Throbardon ended up near Watersport, where he was captured by the devil Barb who intended to use him as a subject in mutagen experiments. He was rescued by the adventuring party, Booty and the Hofish, and he assisted them in fighting off Barb.

After being separated from the adventurers, he made his way to the Golden Palace. By the time he arrived, Jim-Jim had been captured by seaspawn. Throbardon and fellow survivor Karin began to comb the beach looking for others, and were the first ones to discover Jim-Jim and Booty and the Hofish when they emerged from the Kracken Priest's lair. He was so pleased with his squire's progress and heroic defense of the resort while separated, he dubbed him a full knight that night at a ceremony on the bluff above the palace.

Later, he joined the team from the resort who negotiated with the Glamazons for a mutual defense agreement against the incoming threat of the Kracken, before joining the Golden Palace defense team.

After an accidental ritual began to fill the resort with sharks, Throbardon flew Jim-Jim into the penthouse office of the Golden Palace so Jim-Jim could help fight the sharks while Throbardon swooped two children, Jo Ramshackle and Chaz, to safety.

Behind the Queens: Sir Throbardon was named by Bryan, one of the Kickstarter backers who funded Season One. He has also cosplayed as the character and commissioned the character portrait from Terry Blas. Bryan has said that the name was meant to be a drag-sounding play on the name of the Lord of the Rings eagle, Thorondor.
Search for the Tops

**The Search for the Tops** is an annual talent competition, hosted by the Ice Princess at the Crystal Palace. It has been held for years, with the prize being an Ice Scepter.

The competition is designed to locate queens who might be worthy of locating the legendary treasure of Dame Celia Molestranger, buried in a ziggurat on Fire Island after the Taint led to the end of the Age of Queens, as only the scepter can unlock the entrance to the tomb.Through unknown means, the scepter is returned to the Crystal Palace each year.

The most recent competition had two halves: Preliminaries and Finals. The preliminaries were overseen by a trio of judges, including Charismo, a florph, and a wizard manifesting inside a crystal ball. They determined which acts, through a combination of stage performances and interviews, were worthy of the finals. After a short interlude, including a tour of the palace grounds by sleighride, the three finalists performed in the main theater and the winners were determined by the Ice Princess herself.

The three final acts in this most recent competition were, in order of final performance:

* The Tooting Oompas
* Crotch
* Booty and the Hofish

Of these, few suspected the Oompas would win, and everyone had their eyes on Crotch and Booty and the Hofish. The former tried to intimidate their rivals before ultimately resorting to sabotage to keep them from performing. Their efforts came to no avail as Booty and the Hofish made it on time for their performance and slayed the competition, and were announced the winners (despite Crotch lead singer Moxy's protests) before an abominable snow beast brought the literal house down.

It remains to be seen if Booty and the Hofish will manage to prove worthy of Dame Celia's treasure, or if the ice scepter will once more be returned before next year's competition.
Wyverns

**Wyverns** are a dragonic species native to Fire Island. They are like dragons, only smaller, and live in matriarchical groups. They are distantly related to kobolds.

They are known to nest along the hills on the western half of the island, near the town of Watersport. Wyverns are protective of their nest areas and will attack any intruders. They are nocturnal, and feast on sea life. The creatures have stingers on their tails that are powerful enough to kill an adventure in one strike. Both the Concierge of the Golden Palace and researcher Patrick thought approaching the wyverns was a terrible idea.

During the Siege of the Kracken, a group of adventuring queens traveled through the wyverns's nest on their way to Watersport. They nearly made it through before the draconics awoke at dusk, but the smell of fish that Fraya Love brought with her to try and distract the creates woke them up. She threw the basket of fish to them to try and distract them. It partially worked. Arson Nicki also used dancing lights to create a distracting humanoid figure in a mist Fraya created. Once the distractions wore off, several wyverns gave chase, leading to Butylene O'Kipple and Harlotte O'Scara to throwing bombs in the wyvern's past to prevent them from following.

One wyvern did follow them to Watersport and spent the entire night circling the town, and occasionally settling on buildings to watch for signs of the ones who had invaded its home. This hampered the queens's infiltration and retreat from the Town Hall. Their ally Sir Throbardon took to the air to draw the wyvern's attention and lead it away from the party.

Since their encounter, Fraya has expressed her desire to tame a wyvern on multiple occasions. King Nibbles of the kobolds told her that by subduing the matriarch, showing her they are equals, is the only way to get a wyvern to respect you and listen to you. Fraya proposed taming wyverns to the Glamazons as one of the possibilities for how to amass forces to attack the Kracken with. If she will be attempt, and if she will be successful remains to be seen.
Tavern of the Hung Man

**The Tavern of the Hung Man** is a location, in a village near the Star-Hills. It is here that Copper Top brings the newly formed performing party of Arson Nicki, Butylene O'Kipple, Fraya Love, and Harlotte O'Scara, after their adventurous show at the House of Wunderbred.

The innkeeper, a man named Ruckus, seems to know Copper Top and as soon as he sees the group enter, escorts them to a trap door into the cellar so they can talk in private. Ruckus asks them about their adventures and is shocked to hear that they had gone to the Manor and survived, as he had seen many performers go there over the years and non returned.

The cellar continues on into a series of deeper rooms and chambers. It was to one of these that Arson descended to meditated, commune with her supernatural patron, and recover her strength, while the others went on different journeys for a few days.

Upon regrouping, the party entered the tavern to find a group of bandits wearing leather jackets emblazoned with the logo of a red fist, ransacking the place and trying to shake down Ruckus. The queens defeat the bandits in time for Copper-Top to arrive with an offer of a new gig. Ruckus brings them their drinks to-go, rolling up to their carriage window on roller skates.
Thieves Cant

**Thieves Cant** is a coded language used by rogues. It is less its own language and more a form of slang.

Rogues often leave messages in this code to signify dangers, locations of valuables, or other important information.

Harlotte O'Scara was proficient in Thieves Cant, and found messages in the underground dungeon of the House of Wunderbred, trying to provide clues to solve puzzles.

After learning draglish, Harlotte and her fellow queens found that to be a more helpful source of locating clues and information.
Shade Monsters

**Shade Monsters** are monsters made of the physical manifestation of shade. They appear to be connected to the cataclysm known as the Spreading Taint.

## Shadow Brutes and Shadow Casters

During the Age of Queens, the villain Malady attacked the House of Wunderbred. While the queens of the house tried to escape to start a new life on Fire Island, their leaders, Lady Edith and Brioche Wunderbred, and battle maidens protected the house. A group of Shadow monsters entered the grand theater of the house and engaged in battle with the maidens.

One kind of monster were called Brutes, and were hulking figured wrapped in a dark mist. These ones were more physical in their attacks. The other kind were called Shadow Casters and were wispier, with smaller bodies. They were capable of casting magic.

## Shade

A thousand years later, shady magic had taken a hold of Lady Edith and Wunderbred Manor. She lured entertainers to their deaths by hiring to perform and dumping them into the dungeon beneath the manor. One such group of adventurers managed to survive the trial. During the attempt they found a room with a puzzle: In order to escape they would have to cast shade, a form of drag insult, at each other. This caused the shadows in the room to grow longer. Once the exit unlocked, the shadows coalesced together into a giant shadow monster, possibly similar to a brute. Harlotte O'Scara was able to defeat it with the light from a torch.

## Behind the Queens

In one playtest for the Wunderbred live show, the shade throwing puzzle triggered shadow versions of each of the four queens to appear and attack prior to forming into one giant shade. It is likely this encounter was too long and was shortened for time for the live show.
Sasquatch

**Sasquatches** are a species of monster, known for being bipedal and hirsute. They have been encountered in the World of Wonders during one of the Giant Baby's tests of potentially Legendary queens.

Various kinds of Sasquatches existed throughout the pine forest region of the test.

#### Trashquatch

The Trashquatch is a smaller sasquatch that lives in a trash can. It was amicable with the queens who came through the ruins it lived in, and offered them suggestions. When asked who it was, it acted like everyone would recognize it. It was surprised when Irene Dubois, worried for its safety, tried to take it from its trashcan before a storm over took the area.

#### Sassquatch

The Sassquatch lived in a hut near a bridge powered by shade. Queens who came upon it were invited to read each other to generate the bridge over the gorge near his hut.

#### Skunk Ape

The Skunk Ape lived in a cave in a ravine. It smelled horribly, and was the least friendly sassquatch encountered. It was exceptionally strong and was capable of performing legendary actions.

#### Audience Squatches

A variety of other sasquatches attended the final catwalk challenge. Among the crowd were also yetis, implying there may be a connection between the sasquatches, and the Snow Beasts from near the Spine of the World mountains and the Crystal Palace.

## Behind the Queens

* It is unclear if these species are native to the World of Wonder, if they exist in the regular Realm, or if they are merely constructs of the Giant Baby.
* The trashquatch was based off of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.
Fałszywe Smoczęta Przeznaczenia

**Fałszywe Smoczęta Przeznaczenia** to grupa smoczków zebranych przez Nautilusa na wypadek porażki prawdziwych. Według planu, jeśli oryginalne Smoczęta miały zawieść, posłuszni Szponom Pokoju zastępcy mogliby doprowadzić przepowiednię do końca, zgodnie z wizją Wieszcza. Składały się z:

* Burego (Błotoskrzydłego)
* Kalmara (Morskoskrzydłego)
* Płomienia (Nieboskrzydłego)
* Profetki (Nocoskrzydłej)
* Żmii (Piaskoskrzydłej)

Kiedy najgorsze przypuszczenia Szponów Pokoju się spełniły - Smoczęta Przeznaczenia uciekły i były poza kontrolą - Wieszcz zabrał ze sobą na Wyspę Nocy fałszywe smoczki, żeby sprawdzić, które z nich nadadzą się do dokończenia przepowiedni. To jednak okazało się być złym pomysłem; już na samym początku roztrzęsiony Kalmar wrócił do obozu ojca, potem Żmija zginęła, wpadając do lawy, a na koniec Płomień stracił jedno oko przez działanie jadu Piaskoskrzydłych i przez długi czas nie mógł opuszczać jaskini uzdrowicieli. Reszta nie była skłonna do wykonywania rozkazów i po śmierci Wieszcza rozproszyła się, nigdy nie wypełniając swojego zadania.

## Ciekawostki

* Każde z Fałszywych Smocząt Przeznaczenia było złym odzwierciedleniem jednego z tych prawdziwych; Żmija była powierzchownie podobna do Glorii, Bury do Łupka, Kalmar do Gwiezdnego Lotnika, Profetka do Słonka, a Płomień do Tsunami.
Stone shrine

A **Stone Shrine** sits on the western side of the Radiant Ridge on Fire Island, between the Golden Palace and the town of Watersport.

The Shrine consists primarily of a stone step pyramid, with a simple human figure on top holding a scepter in one hand and a bowl in the other. The scepter resembles the Ice Scepter.

Around the shrine are large stones that create a relief map of the Glama Archipelago. The step pyramid and figure represent the center most island.

If people place tips in the bowl, the shrine produces obsidian tokens bearing the inscription "Kisses Darling - DCM". Kissing these tip tokens triggers a magic mouth spell to provide helpful advice. The initials imply the shrine has a connection to Dame Celia Molestrangler, and the shape of the ziggurat resembles the tomb of the great queen on the center island.

Draglish script on the back of the pyramid says "Worthy queens seek me out. The legacy of the Great Queens awaits you."
Gabranth

**Gabranth** is a human warlock and a Marionette Puppeteer in the Cult of Rakdos in Ravnica.

## Herstory

As a child, Gabranth's family was associated with the Orzhov Syndicate. Their parents were sacrificed to the Old God Cthulu. This may have led to Gabranth gaining their warlock powers. After, they were taken in by Travis de Orzhov Orzhov, who became their patron.

It is unknown how Gabranth came to be in the Cult of Rakdos. They used their abilities to manipulate audiences, including using toll the dead to overpower them as a start to a performance.

During a time of heavy raids by the Azorius Senate on Cult facilities, Gabranth performed one night at the Izzet Steamworks when a knight and four arrestors raided the facility. Gabranth and their fellow performers fought back. Realizing they needed to get the club goers to safety, Gabranth eldritch blasted a wall to start to make an exit, although it killed one of the very club goers in the process.

To prevent an arrestor from leaving without getting punished, Gabranth cast mind spike so they could always find him. The spell was super powerful and killed him instead. So Gabranth communicated with the knight, who was paralyzed, and told him to not mess with the Cult, before they left through the hole in the wall their colleague Onderus finished making.

Later, Gabranth and their fellow performers were tasked by their superiors in the Cult with digging up information on who was behind the raids. They discovered it was a member of the Orzhov Syndicate, so Gabranth asked Travis for information, learning the Syndicate member's embarrassing secrets.

Mama

> "*No buzz marketing; they're not a sponsor this season.*"
> ― Mama
>
>

**Mama** is the wise matriarch of House Aubergine, one of the Great Houses of Drag from the Age of Queens.

## Herstory

Much remains enigmatic about the figure known as Mama, including how she rose to prominence and how she joined House Aubergine. What is known is that she was well regarded and a leader of the House by the later portion of the Age of Queens.

When one of her fellow queens, Madame Lepus, was turned to the shady side, Mama used the situation as a test for a group of novice queens wishing to join the house. Knowing powerful magics were stored within Lepus's wig, she tasked the queens with going into Shady Pines forest and retrieving the wig. It is not known how she reacted when the queens managed to break the Shade's connection over Lepus and bring the queen home.

When the spreading Taint brought an end to the Age of Queens, members of House Aubergine fled with members of other houses to Fire Island and established Glamalala. It is unknown if Mama was one of the queens who fell against the Taint, or if she was one of the ones who made it to safety. What is known is a memorial to Mama would remain on Fire Island centuries later.

## Behind the Queens

Mama bears similarities in her phrases and role in the first House Aubergine live show, to RuPaul's role as head judge on RuPaul's Drag Race. This is underscored by Mama's connection to Madame Lepus, who is a reference to Rupaul's friend Lady Bunny.
Downtown (Minimum Rage)

**Downtown** is the name of the town that was created for the Minimum Rage adventure for the Queens of Adventure crossover with the One Shot podcast.

The town had some nice, well frequented touristy areas. A river ran through it with bridges that crossed back and forth.

Downtown was a town plagued by monsters and demons. For decades, drag performers were the towns secret heroes, protecting them from evil. These performers often ran semi-illegal businesses out of various abandoned properties around town.

## Electric Flames

Electric Flames was once the Electric Lanes bowling alley until it was taken over and renovated by a group of monster themed House Mothers. Now it is a Drag Club and Bar, popular both with humans and with friendly monsters.

## The Library

Based out of an old public library, The Library is a bar lounge with tons of books (including many related to the supernatural) that has several nights of performances every week. Its staff, including research librarian Miss Mable, are extremely knowledgeable about supernatural lore.

## Cappy's

Drag King Cappy runs a liquor supply business run entirely by fellow drag kings, out of an abandoned auto mechanic shop. Muscle cars surround the place and are used by the staff, including musician Tater, to make deliveries. The kings have a 1920's gangster vibe to their clothing and painted on beards.
