An Organization in the River Of Space And Time. Possesses 1 Seventh Tribulation Eminence, 8 Sixth and hundreds of fifth. (*795 Member - Chapter 568)*

An organisation created by Cang Xing. Create a Cang Alliance token and by refine the token and become a member of the Cang Alliance. That way, the user can instantly contact the other members of the Cang Alliance. Cang Xing once obtained a Universe Wonder, After refining the token, can leave an Essence Soul mark on this Universe Wonder! Those that leave a mark on this Universe Wonder can communicate at any time. That Universe Wonder can only accommodate 1,000 Essence Soul marks in total. Cang Xing left this technique behind so that the member can better contact each other and hunt down forbidden creatures. The more powerful the hunted forbidden creature is, the greater the benefits. This Universe Wonder existed in a very special place. This special place was known as the Cang Alliance Space. After leaving behind an Essence Soul mark, the Cang Alliance token was useless. One an exchange for all sorts of treasures by killing forbidden creatures. The Cang Alliance didn’t have any restrictions. As long as one killed enough powerful forbidden creatures, they could naturally exchange for treasures. Of course, a Fifth Tribulation forbidden creature was the minimum. Weaker forbidden creatures wouldn’t be counted.

Godfiend Body Formulas

“When you were mortal, you only established a Godfiend foundation. That doesn’t make you a true Godfiend,” said the cyan-clothed woman. “Only after passing the Life-and-Death juncture and having condensed a Godfiend body will you be a true Godfiend. Godfiends have different grades as well. Low and middle-grade Godfiends are the most common. When outer sect disciples accumulate enough credit to try their hand at breaking through the Life-and-Death juncture, they are typically low or middle-grade Godfiends because most of them aren’t talented enough, and they are too old. It’s impossible for them to become high-grade Godfiends.

The Archean Mountains contains 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas and 27 high-grade Godfiend formulas.

The 12 Transcendent Grade Formulas are:

1. Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body
2. Great Strength Fiend Body
3. Samsara Divine Body
4. Azure Lotus Divine Body
5. Archean Divine Body
6. Phoenix Divine Body
7. Dragon Divine Body
8. Eon Sea Fiend Body
9. Lightning Devastator Fiend Body
10. Two World Divine Body
11. Black Sand Fiend Body
12. Indestructible Divine Body
You Need a Big God

The 68th session.

**Lyrics**: "Big God" by Florence and the Machine

## Highlights

Instead, the two groups combine forces and hunt for Calendarsign. Narrowly avoiding being spotted by Atarka, the subparty wanders through an area of Csipherus filled with bars and temples, eventually finding a promising-looking brewery. Helli investigates the top floors, Harry and Set take the ground level, and Felegum keeps watch outside. The upstairs reveals a hidden chest and the downstairs reveals office supplies and a sad child's note to their parent. Set finds a basement full of wine and Helli finds a map of the catacombs (as well as a coded love letter in Csipherian to be decrypted later). Thus begins the legend of Bacchus Jolly Libation and Fermentation.
You Were the Last Good Thing About This Part of Town

The 49th session. (1x49)

Lyrics: "Grand Theft Autumn/Where is Your Boy Tonight" by Fall Out Boy

## Highlights

The party leaves the mines of Egonia without anyone else dying, though it's a close call and returns to the Loving Lettuce after a long journey. Shenanigans ensue. After a rest and some chatting things out, they try to communicate via Ingrin with the wizard in Paripas who gave the portal-closing stone to Harry. Set tries and fails to reach Kalends via same. Negotiating with the mine foremen is ultimately unproductive and the mines and city shake, ostensibly due to the instability of the portal. Hastily fleeing Egonia, the party asks Ingrin to teleport them to the desert by way of Tormani.
Sir Bradford

Captain of the Greenrest Guard. Husband to Miriam. Leader of an ill-fated adventuring party. Former owner of Shatterspike.

## Description

Human(?) male. Probably a fighter of some sort.

## Biography

### Background

Married to Miriam, he seemed to make a good living with her in Greenrest. The designs on his armor match the designs on the general store. They seemed well liked and to have really loved each other. He went on an expedition to the Sunken Citadel in the company of Sonard and Karakas and did not come back, leading Miriam to worry and offer a reward to the party for his safe return.

### "A Little Bit of Loneliness, A Little Bit of Disregard" (1x2)

Miriam told the party that the reason why the Captain of the Guard hadn't been defending the town the previous night during the kobold incursion was because he'd been out for about a month exploring the citadel. She worried for his safety and they learned he was her husband.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

After fighting Sir Bradford's reanimated body (courtesy of Durnen) down in the Grove, the party took his armor with them to bring back to Miriam before burying his, Sonard's, and Karakas' bodies. Sir Bradford also carried a "jagged edge sword," which had transmutation properties and would later turn out to be Shatterspike. Sir Bradford's body also had a letter on it from Miriam. Miriam was distraught to learn of his death, but glad to have closure.
Samson

Tavern owner in Splinterwood. Old. Sold Set some bread. We warned him about the orc warband, he said the village was able to fend off a single orc but did not seem confident about many. After we defeated the warband, he got salty af, okay boomer -- Set is just salty that someone could be annoyed that adventurers brought a full orc warband into their town in the middle of the night... The absolute audacity.

## Description

Old human man who would probably be fine with sleep and peace.

## Biography

General store owner for Splinterwood, Samson and his neighbors have occasionally fended off a single orc.

### "It's Easier to Run" (1x27)

The party woke up Samson in the middle of the night when Felegum knocked on his door to find out where Paripas was. Samson (initially unnamed) remarked that the group had been traveling quite far because Paripas was to the east, the opposite direction of where the party had been going. Taking pity on the party, Samson kindly said that there were ships out of Winterdale that could get them to Paripas. Harry let him know that we were being pursued by a warband, which Samson found troubling, and some negotiations were had trying to buy a horse and cart off another resident of Splinterwood (Old Ford) who was not pleased to be awake and did not want to sell. Zeno blew his mind by telling him that dragons still lived in the Stone Tooth. He sold Set some bread.

### "Things Are Better if I Say So Long and Goodnight" (1x28)

Samson and the other villagers of Splinterwood fled to their homes as the party battled Zuul's force in their town square. After the battle, Set learned that Samson had even included butter with the bread.

### "Set My Clocks Early 'Cause I Know I'm Always Late" (1x29)

Spoiler alert: Samson was not pleased about the party bringing all manner of orcs into the town. He read Set the riot act.

## Relationships

### Sovereign Dungeoneering Company

Feels safe to say that we are probably not high on the list of people he likes.
Sarkanis

Lizard guardian of the last of Csipherus. Good with a spear.

## Description

Lizardman paladin (?). Currently guards the Thoth bastion and has been helpful in clearing out the tunnels in the catacombs leading to it so that it stays hidden. Legit kind of dude.

## Biography

### Background

It seems like he's been helping out since the very beginning of all this-- making the Thoth crew safe and being literally the first on the line to receive any threats and neutralize them. Mad respect.

### "All of This Stress Gave Me Something to Write on" (1x56)

Sarkanis was first at the door, along with two aarakocra, when Helli picked the lock and got the party in to the Thoth bastion. The tip of his spear was glowing blue and he brandished a large shield. Possibly he was the one who Set spoke to in Csipherian to explain the party's motives. Elissance explained more of his background and how much of a help he was in eradicating foes from the tunnels to make sure everyone living below the temple was safe.

## Relationships

### Thoth Library Bastion

Sworn to protect (?) or very dedicated to protecting. He puts his life on the line quite a bit for them.
Ojutai

The Mage of the Sands. Blue dragon. Magical, as it says on the tin, but in the very dangerous way. Brother to Atarka and currently jchilling on some Csipherian wall being bored af or trying to get into Set's mind.

## Description

Blue dragon, male. Thinner than his sister but with a lot more magical talent, it seems.

## Biography

### Background

Brother to Atarka, he along with her slew their mother to claim her territory, the wastes. His overall motives are as yet unknown, but he did telepathically say to Set: *what better prize than a city?* Whatever deal the two of them have made with the Red Eyes, it seems there's something about it that's unsatisfying to him; he seems to get bored more than he'd like.

### "There's a Desert in My Blood and a Storm in Your Eyes" (1x52)

The party learned of Atarka and Ojutai's existence from Pinjin's caravan crew as they took shelter from a sandstorm. Little was known of Ojutai beyond his quest for power and dabbling in magic.

### "Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)

The group encountered Ojutai chilling out on one of Csipherus' walls, tossing a black ball of energy back and forth between his claws. They tried to sneak past him into the city, but their zombie acting was not great (except for Zeno's) and the dragon spotted them. He spoke to the group telepathically, telling them to impress him. Zeno played new material from his forthcoming bagpipe album and vanished, ostensibly thanks to Ojutai. Set stepped up and tried to put on a cultural display via his illusion spell and this had mixed results: Ojutai spoke to him about why he'd come back to the city, the two chatted about riddles and magic, and then Ojutai tried to get into Set's head, got blocked, and buried Set in some sand, which Felegum had to help him out from. Tem tried to give Ojutai an offering of gold, which the dragon didn't seem super into (and this royally teed off Harry). However, all these antics appeared to be enough for Ojutai to let the group into the city. The last thing Set heard before the dragon left was that he would be "watching your exploits in the city with interest." The Calendar's Keeper also seemed to be really cheesed off at Ojutai, leading the party to believe that maybe Mr. Bored tended to spy on people's minds.

### "Hello There, the Angel from My Nightmare" (1x55)

Set shared what Ojutai had told him with the rest of the party during a moment of downtime, citing his idea that they needed to play a game of perfect information to win against the dragon.

## Relationships

### Atarka

Sister. Fellow matricide co-conspirator. Are they really super bonded or is he using her as the intellect behind the scheme with the city? What hold does he have over her, if any? Is he protective of her or is she one more piece on his chessboard?
Blorc

Former orc chieftain of the Stone Tooth tribe. Blue. Slain by Set, reanimated by Zeno. Missing one arm due to extravagant death via angel boi. Named as homage to Zeno's old friend and presumably the color blue. While still living, took Lankin hostage after a battle. While dead, was part of the meat shield that protected Zeno and Set against watery death. Probably still holding up a rope by Nightscale's pit.
The Butcher

A goblin, but not a good one. Controlling him sounds like an excellent plan.

## Description

Goblin fighter. Loves a sword, loves 3 stab.

## Biography

### Background

Again, little is known beyond of his being a Red Eye and also sticking to Ahkmatix like glue.

### "I Won't Forget to Close Your Eyes for You" (1x53)

The party fought the Butcher at the ruins with Ahkmatix, with Awk notably taking control of him and using him against Ahkmatix and Lankin going head to head with him.

### "Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)

The Keeper named the Butcher as one of the fiercer Red Eyes, and it sounded like she'd lost quite a few people to this menace.

## Relationships

### Ahkmatix

Are they friends or do they just tolerate each other? Who can say
Stone Tooth

Mountain containing duergar and also Nightscale. Home to the Stoneblood orc clan, previously afflicted by Zuul and his troglodyte army trying to find the Aegis. Fun fact: the top part (where the orcs live) is somehow sealed off from the lower part (where the duergar live and the entrance to Nightscale's lair was). We still have no idea how or if these are connected, but we do know the duergar have a sick af rug that Zeno coveted.

**Notable Inhabitants:**

* Nightscale
* Zuul (deceased)
* Stoneblood orcs
* Blorc, probably

**Other Areas Within:**

* The Glimmering
* Duergar Stronghold
* Nightscale's Lair
Layne

Co-proprietor of the Green Mug in Greenrest with her husband Innard. Brews her own beers and tends bar, though she's also a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen herself.

## Biography

### Background

Somehow, she and Innard met, fell in love, started in inn, and also an inn rivalry. She has also been known to come up with "breakfast experiments," new twists on breakfast dishes that she offers to inn patrons. Sometimes the breakfast experiments are good. Sometimes they are tubers with goat intestine.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

Layne made her first named appearance making delicious porridge, eggs, and bacon.

### "Let Your Waves Crash Down on Me" (1x7)

The first beer battle. Layne, a born competitor, was eager to see what Zeno's latest brew tasted like and if it could outdo her own house beer. It was the Green Mug's Emerald Dragon Ale versus Zeno's doppelbock, and ultimately after consulting taste-testers throughout the inn, Zeno's beer won. Layne was briefly sad, but still thrilled to have good beer and comped Zeno's room for the night as his winnings. A breakfast experiment was served. Zeno suggested bacon bits and Felegum suggested re-branding them as bacon Felegums. Layne seemed intrigued.

### "Sometimes I Think of Letting Go and Never Looking Back" (1x13)

This time, Zeno offered a taste test of his baneberry wine to Layne. Unfortunately, the wine was still a little young, though Layne hoped that two years in the cellar would put it right. In other exciting developments, Zeno sold his recipe for the famed doppelbock to Layne and Innard, since it was quite popular in town.

### "Got a Sunset in My Veins" (1x14)

Layne taught Set how to make energy cubes while the rest of the group visited Francis. Later, some of the party snuck downstairs and found boysenberry danishes that Layne had set out for hungry guests to snack on overnight.

### "I Used to be Love Drunk But Now I'm Hungover" (1x37)

Layne challenged Zeno to the second beer battle. This time, the stakes were higher. It was the Green Mug (and Grug from the Inn and the Out) versus the party, and more specifically Layne's breakfast beer versus Zeno's Scotch ale. Layne had excellent aim at Pebble Mug. Ultimately, the party ended up winning and the night ended with Layne and Grug pulling out a massive awning that covered the street between their two dueling inns, making for revelry and a night of beautiful lights.

### "These are Hard Times for Dreamers" (1x38)

Set, having directed various persons to send him letters at either the Green Mug or the Axe of Fire, checked in with Layne to see if any messages had come in for him. Nothing.
Marsieux

Member of the Den, quiet, appraiser of trade items and identifier of magical things. Teller of tales.

## Description

Human (?) male with some spellcasting ability.

## Biography

### Background

As one might expect for someone working for the Den, it's hard to pin down anything on Marsieux. He's good at telling stories and hyping stuff up and also has the magical chops to know when something is indeed what it is purported to be.

### "So Tell Me, What's the Price to Pay for Glory?" (1x45)

The party first met Marsieux at the prize exchange counter of the Den when they were trading in their truly staggering winnings for the crushed gems they'd need for Ingrin's teleportation circle. He was called over specifically by the other prize counter worker, a halfling, because he could see whether the wand Felegum was offering for trade was legit. He was able to ascertain that it was and tempted the party with other trade offers. Set asked about daggers and while Marsieux showed him a wide variety, he also mentioned that the rogue might like a blade with a story. Set was intrigued and Marsieux brought out a bone-white dagger with a curve to the blade, saying that this was the weapon of a legendary hero. It felt like sand and Set had to have it. The party bought it for an absurd amount of money on top of their winnings. In Set's defense, Marsieux did say to "treat this dagger well, for it has treated its previous owners well." Maybe he was telling the truth. Or maybe he was just savvy enough knew how to snare a teen desperate to believe in something. Time will tell.
I Won't Forget to Close Your Eyes for You

The 53rd session.

Lyrics: "heartsigh" by Purity Ring

## Highlights

Awk's spell reveals a cactus four miles away, Felegum sends Dronie to investigate, and the monodrone is killed, making the group wonder just what might lie in wait for them at oases. The party stumbles upon a ruin in the desert with a man in red robes and a goblin, both Red Eyes, directing an undead excavation. The man in red had a ruby in one hand and the party attacks, hoping to learn what's going on. After heavy blows on both sides, the man in red teleports himself and the goblin away. Investigating the ruin reveals it to be a teleportation station in a magical network, perhaps used for trade. Zeno acquires a new zombie, Drybones, and Awk locates a much closer cactus at nightfall. Not trusting Awk to explore alone, Set comes with him. Awk stumbles upon a dragon, Atarka, at an oasis, while Set realizes Harry has followed them both. Awk attempts to speak with Atarka as Set and Harry look on, hidden. Atarka reveals that she has a deal with the Red Eyes in Csipherus in exchange for the city's treasures.

Harry translates Awk offering Csipherus to Atarka after the party saves it to Set, who accidentally reveals them to the dragon in his anger. Unsatisifed with Awk's talk and no food, the dragon flies off and attacks the caravan instead, following Awk's tracks. She kills half of Pinjin's crew, but the other half of the party is able to protect themselves and the survivors until Harry and Set return and explain what happened. Everyone is livid. Pinjin buries his companions and the party fights with Awk, eventually killing him between Set and Harry (with some clutch bagpiping from Zeno when it looked like he might escape). Helli and Set steal from the corpse, and a pyre and funeral service is had. Then everyone is sad.
Sonard

Dwarf wizard. Part of the ill-fated adventuring party that Sir Bradford had led into the Sunken Citadel. Hailed from Paripas in the frozen north.

## Description

Female dwarf wizard. The party has only ever seen her posthumously.

## Biography

### Background

Trained in Paripas or growing up in Paripas, Sonard made her way down to Greenrest where she, Sir Bradford, and the town tracker Karakas set out to solve the mystery of the magical apples that goblins from the Sunken Citadel were selling. She ran into Durnen, who presumably slew her and her compatriots when they got too close to the Tree of Life and Death.

### "A Little Bit of Loneliness, A Little Bit of Disregard" (1x2)

Sonard (the unnamed) sent Miriam a somewhat cryptic message via Sending Stone right before the kobolds attacked: *They have taken us. It needs the partner. Do not let them. They are coming. I don’t know how much time you have*. She likely died soon after.

### "When There's Nothing Left to Burn" (1x5)

The party encountered Sonard's (then unnamed) dead body fighting along side Durnen, with Sir Bradford's and Karakas' raised corpses as well. Set landed the killing blow on her reanimated form.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

The party buried Sonard and her compatriots at the foot of the Tree of Life and Death, and later learned both her name and that she'd come from Paripas, a city in the north.

### "I Fall Upon the Earth, I Call Upon the Air" (1x31)

Set sent a letter to Sonard's family via the Paripas mailing system, letting them know about her death, conveying his condolences, and offering to meet with them if they wished.
Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette

The 54th session.

Lyrics: "Youth" by Daughter

## Highlights

The party, still mourning the loss of Awk, comes upon an oasis beset by zombies and fights them in a bid for water. They dispatch the undead but attract a wurm, and the battle is joined by a mysterious gold dragonborn paladin, Tem-ho-ja-mak Arkris. Harry is thoroughly unamused. Together, the party and Tem are able to convince the wurm to flee, and Tem attempts to purify the oasis water as part of their mission for Bahamut. Acquiring water from the oasis proves unsuccessful, resulting in the loss of Drybones. Tem agrees to accompany the party to Csipherus, being on their own mission to save the city, though their reception in the party is decidedly a bit chilly.

Gradually, traveling with Tem, the party learns that they're part of an anti-Tiamat order whose mission is to prevent the conduits from being used for evil purposes. They are investigating the Csipherian plague and, presumably, conduit for the same reasons the party is. The group parts ways with Pinjin, but not before he and Felegum mend their fences and swap Ptarmigan books. Moving toward the city, the bands of undead around the group increase and the party uses various tricks and illusions to evade them (and also Atarka). Once they're a day out from the city, Set uses his Sending scroll to contact Kalends and receives a mysterious response. When the group comes upon Csipherus, though, the city has changed: there is a massive hole in one wall, the Sunspire has fallen, and there is a lithe blue dragon curled atop a wall. This is Ojutai, Atarka's brother.

The group attempts to sneak into the city via sewers and pretending to be zombies, but Ojutai spots them. He asks them to impress him, and to varying degrees, they appear to. He leaves with a "I'll be watching your exploits with interest" and the group explores the city. Set takes everyone to an old hideout, and along the way the party encounters members of Set's old thieves' guild, the Calendar. Blindfolded, the party visits the Calendar's headquarters in the catacombs under the city and learns that not only have the Calendar been stealing the gems that the Red Eyes want, probably preventing the fall of the city, but that they are also responsible for the hole in the city walls as a means of escape. There are five Red Eyes in Csipherus, with a sixth who visits. Perhaps even worse, the group learns that they have lost twenty months, or about two years, in their teleport. Things look very bad for our heroes.
I Can Forget About the Criminal I Am

The 74th session.

**Lyrics:** "Lying From You" by Linkin Park

## Highlights

The subparty spends the night at Sam the Trash Man's. Zeno raises one of Sam's pet skeletons to be a zombie and in the morning, Zeno is unable to move due to not being used to a trash diet. Sam leaves and the group hangs out, waiting for Zeno's paralysis to fade. Harry and Set investigate passageways out in the meantime. With Zeno back in action, the group takes the back way out, following the tunnel up to a secret entrance to a warehouse. Going on a little shopping spree, the group gains several useful items before heading back to Bacchus Jolly.
Ahkmatix

The man in red, the mage undying, the necrolord prime. Needs help with his skincare, not his sincare. Teleported because he knew we would evaporate him.

## Description

A man, as they say, in red. Red robes, gaunt of face, possibly human at one point in his life, but definitely humanoid. The plague seems connected to him.

## Biography

### Background

Ahkmatix appears to be the Red Eyes responsible for the plague in Csipherus. Little is known of why precisely he's helping Durnen or how he got the way he did, but he is nonetheless lending his considerable necromantic talents to the bad dude cause. He is the source of the plague in the city, though it is unclear if vanquishing him will end the plague or if the two are unconnected anymore.

### "I Won't Forget to Close Your Eyes for You" (1x53)

The party first encountered Ahkmatix and the Butcher, his goblin associate, at a ruin in the desert while traveling to Csipherus. He carried a red gem in his hand that seemed important and he had been directing the skeletons around him to excavate the ruin more. Set harried him for a bit before getting scared, then he nearly disintegrated Felegum and teleported out, taking the gem.

### "Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)

The Calendar's Keeper had major beef with Ahkmatix (and also gave the party his name) as the necromancer had been using the dead of Csipherus for a long time to do his bidding. He was, according to her, quite powerful.

### "Hello There, the Angel from My Nightmare" (1x55)

After the party accidentally summons a larger quantity of the undead to a well, Ahkmatix showed up late in the evening to inspect the area, check for magic, and then disperse the gathered zombies when he was assured nothing was happening.

## Relationships

### The Butcher

Makes sense to have the extremely stabbable guy near an extremely stabby guy
So Darken Your Clothes and Strike a Violent Pose

The 61st session.

**Lyrics**: "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance

## Highlights

The party does battle in another of Harry's memories, this time in a place he worked. The owner of either the place itself or a fellow former colleague of Harry's, the Countess, joins the battle with her fiendish cadre. A few people are charmed, Mammoth!Zeno plays in the water, and Helli dismantles a bamboo trap, allowing the party to escape to their next adventure in the real or imagined world.
At the End of the World

The 76th session.

**Lyrics:** "The Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance

## Highlights

The situation with Nisbit grows more fraught as Helli continues to tinker unsleepingly from within the spider legs. Set and Kalends fight about Kalends' position in the coming battle, and Felegum and Harry lead recon missions to the central pyramid and the teleportation circle. In the city center, the party finds that the blue dragon siblings have been captured by the Red Eyes and that they may have an ally (allies?) in them if they can be jailbroken. Felegum learns the teleportation circle is well and truly broken and shares the secret of the massive treasure below the pyramid with the full party. Back at Bacchus Jolly, Helli devolves into gibberish. The party decides to let her be. The next day, Set and Kalends fight again but resolve it this time, Zeno makes spiked coffee, and Helli reveals two messenger dragonflies she's created with the help of Nisbit. The party uses them to ask for reinforcements, and one is deployed to Tem's Order in Shinohara and the other is sent to Milto.
Dolores

Deer. Awk's first love. Tragically slain, and now he does not eat venison in her memory.

## Description

Beyond her being a deer, we know so little.

## Biography

### Background

At some point, she and Awk hung out. Then, her untimely death.

### "Hold Your Head High, Heavy Heart" (1x34)

Awk had a bad incident with the meat (venison) at the Meat and Slop when he realized retroactively what he had eaten.

### "Like Violence, You Have Me" (1x39)

Set totally forgot Dolores when asking Awk what to do with the dead deer body. Awk waxed poetic on love, life, and death, saying her death was deeply meaningful to him.
I'm Just a Kid and Life Is a Nightmare

The 60th session.

**Lyrics**: "I'm Just a Kid" by Simple Plan

## Highlights

The party attempts to escape a well before a monster made of eyestalks and teeth drains the water and consumes them. Lankin and Harry struggle to get an unresponsive Tem to the rope on Felegum's ice floe, and the three get wounded by the well monster. Eventually, Tem is tied to the rope and Zeno, Helli, and Set pull her up a little until she thankfully wakes up. Then Lankin and Harry run up the well walls and the party faces a new challenge: a room with a red rug in front of it. This is one of Harry's old stomping grounds and at first sight appears to be a business of ill repute. Some party members indulge, others don't, Lankin and Tem fall under their hosts' sway, and when the hosts are revealed to be fiends unwilling to let the group leave, Zeno transforms into a mammoth.
Grug

Proprietor of the Inn and the Out in Greerest, rival-friend to Layne and Innard at the Green Mug.

## Biography

### Background

Little known who came first to Greenrest or if they became friends after opening their dueling inns or were before, Grug seems to be on excellent terms with Layne and Innard.

### "I Used to be Love Drunk, Now I'm Hungover" (1x37)

Grug competed with Layne and Innard on the Green Mug team during the second beer battle. He seemed like a pretty solid addition to their team, not head of the pack but by no means the weakest link.
I Think I'm Falling Asleep

The 69th session.

**Lyrics**: "Feeling This" by Blink-182

## Highlights

The rest of the party beholds the majesty that is Bacchus Jolly. Set asks Zeno a relationship question. Zeno suggests drinking and not thinking about it too much. Helli and Set head out to scavenge supplies from nearby apartment buildings, as Ojutai once again smashes parts of the city for sport. Kheryph becomes an emotional support lizard for Kalends as Set tries to set his mentor's broken legs properly, and Helli stores her fancy statues in HFVNN with the help of Felegum and Lankin. Zeno floats the idea of taking out Hat-Broom Man. Tem floats the idea of draconic collaboration and is quickly shot down. The party decides to try once more to contact the Calendar and get Kalends to a safe spot before beginning their assault on the Red Eyes.
Atarka

The Glutton of the Desert. Haunter of oases and lover of fine food, she feels like she'd fit right in but she's made a pretty strong first impression. Blue and bad to the bone, she will eat your camels and fry your peeps and there's not much you can do about it. *Not* the Jewel of the Desert.

## Description

A blue dragon, age unsure. Female. Larger and more swole than her brother, Atarka is the more feral and physically strong of the pair.

## Biography

### Background

She slew her mother with the help of her brother Ojutai to gain control of the wastes. She loves an oasis and can often be found at one of them, drinking up the water and eating food there. It seems like they killed their mother for power and terrain, but what is she truly after? Still unclear.

### "There's a Desert in My Blood and a Storm in Your Eyes" (1x52)

The party learned of Atarka and Ojutai from Pinjin's caravan. They'd been seen about three weeks ago, making them feel like a more frequent appearance in the desert than originally thought.

### "I Won't Forget to Close Your Eyes for You" (1x53)

Awk, Harry, and Set saw Atarka at an oasis after following Awk on his quest for a cactus. Awk talked with her, offering his services, and Atarka revealed that she (and presumably her brother) had a deal with the Red Eyes in Csipherus in exchange for all of the city's treasures. Awk called Atarka the "Jewel of the Desert", which Set scoffed at and alerted the dragon to his and Harry's presence. Awk continued to try to bargain with Atarka, who stepped on him and took off in search of better food, since he wasn't offering anything. She found the caravan, flew down on them from the sun, attacked, and killed half Pinjin's crew, roasting several camels and snacking on them.

## Relationships

### Ojutai

Brother. Matricide-in-arms. They've got to have some sort of collaborative aspect between them, whether that's because they're related or because they see some mutual use for the other, but again, it's not sure what this looks like. Atarka feels more like the brute force half of the duo, though.
Lake Norka

Large lake adjacent to Janwald and Guara, home to several families of merfolk who live in communities called taaks. On the northern half of the lake is a chain of islands. The party first came here to investigate reports of strange behavior by the merfolk.

## Merfolk Taaks

There are three Merfolk taaks within Lake Norka. Each taak seems to be an informal community, associated mainly based on family line. They each claim their own territory within the lake and reside within elaborate cave dwellings, also called taaks. The only taak encountered directly by the party is the one lead by M'shel.

M'shel's taak's dwelling was afflicted by strange magic portals which entranced and corrupted many members of their group before they were rescued by the SDC. Yuval is the presumed mastermind of their magical woes, probably related to a Conduit nearby. Freeing the taak is presumed to have disrupted the Red-Eyes' plans though the exact nature of their plot at Lake Norka is still not known.

The taaks of Lake Norka were assembled by the SDC to parley with the residents of Janwald to clear up the recent situation. M’shel, Zen, and envoys of the other two taaks represented the merfolk. Captain Quincy, Captain Cheri, and Captain Bryan represented the townsfolk. Zeno, Felegum, and Set acted as mediators. The meeting resulted in the first formal treaty between the land and lake dwellers about water use and access rights. Plans were made to create a Water Bazaar to stimulate trade between the lake and land communities - primary commodities expected to be pearls, tethis spice, forged metals, and artisanal goods. Quincy and M'shel will be working to restart tethys cultivation with an focus on exportation.

### Members of the rescued taak:

* Zen, mermaid spokesperson and Zeno paramour
* M'shel, merleader
* unknown mermaid who talked to Harry that one time

## Island Chain

One of the islands is dominated by a massive spire of unknown, but definitely magical, origins. Set tried to climb it but it was very tall, and Helli confirmed some of the rock was magical growth.

## First Encounters

* Water tendril monsters - Large water elementals that destroyed Quincy's ship. Now known to have been summoned by Yuval.
* Merrow - Merfolk that have been corrupted by some form of evil energy - source unknown but presumably from Yuval or possibly a Conduit.
* Gelatinous Cube - Mellow cave scavengers, until you swim into them.
Clear Spring Island

Clear Spring Island was the most mysterious cultivation ground in the River of Spacetime. It was originally a mysterious spring that had been born in the void. The spring spanned only 50 kilometers. An Eighth Tribulation Eminence later discovered this place and set up an island. There were only 18 cave abodes on the island.

Only 18 living beings were allowed to cultivate on Clear Spring Island at a time because the other cultivators would be affected once there were more than 18 living beings there.

There were more than 20 Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, so the competition was naturally intense. As for Fiend Eye, he had undoubtedly taken one of the cave abodes for himself long ago. According to legend, cultivating on Clear Spring Island was extremely beneficial to newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was much less helpful to peak Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was of even lesser help to Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. Therefore, some cave abode possessors were willing to give the opportunity to other Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Of course, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences had to pay a sufficient price.

The 75th session.

**Lyrics:** "Hallelujah California" by Luna Shadows

## Highlights

The party is reunited at Bacchus Jolly, finding a sleeping Kalends, Kheryph, and Lankin and a sleepless Helli sketching diagrams in the dirt. She tells them that she's found a crystal door she feels compelled to open and the group agrees to go in the morning. Set breaks out his bottle of stolen fancy wine and he and Harry get in an argument, ending in Harry storming off. After an uneasy sleep, conditions in the city worsen: now Csipherus is being cloaked in darkness and all the zombies are gone. Harry stays back at Bacchus Jolly and the rest of the group investigates the crystal door. It ends up being in an herbalist's shop, specifically the workshop of a great alchemist, Nisbit Korner Ina-Gorjon. On opening the crystal door, Helli encounters Nisbit himself (who has trapped his consciousness inside a spider mechsuit) and the duo team up.
Team Red Eye

Red glowing eyes, man. What is it about that? Sometimes ghosts, sometimes red slithers, mostly just really into doing something big with the Conduits. Initially it seemed like they were Durnen's posse, but then we ran into Zuul. What's their power structure, what's their endgame? Who knows, but they have great stage presence. It should also be noted: most red-eyes have 24/7 glowing red eyes; Zuul is our first instance of going-red-on-demand.

**Known Members:**

* Durnen, the OG Red Eye
* Yuval of Lake Norka fame
* Savas, elven archer
* Zuul, lone wolf of Red Eyes (Deceased?)
* Ahkmatix, the lich in red
* The Butcher, smol + mad
* Hat-Broom Man

Zombubbli

Former adventurer that was found next to Lankin. Human. Dressed richly, probably deceased at the hand of Blorc. Wearer of rosy af binoculars that we can't figure out how to work yet. Very dead, just ask Dr. Set. Current staus: zombie, reanimated by Zeno. Does actually have both arms.

Killed in battle versus Nightscale's acid breath. Had lost some fingers prior in a rope ladder.
Splinterwood

Small town vibes, big lightning-struck tree. Site of the Stoneblood orc clan's liberation from the red-eye lizardman tyrant Zuul by Helli's well-timed magic missile. East or west of Paripas, Set's not good at directions, but definitely the wrong way. On escaping with the Aegis, Helli also liberated a wheelbarrow and Set made off with some mystery meat and a jar of something pickled from a warehouse damaged by a half-troll after Felegum. None townspeople with left beef died.

**Notable Inhabitants:**

* Samson, old man and tavern proprietor
* Ford, coot and horse-owner
* Zuul's still burning body, probably
Culinary Delights

An index of deliciousness. The inside guide on good things and where to find them.

* Baneberries - Lower level of the Sunken Citadel
* the beer battle - the Green Mug
* double-mix beer puzzle - Entrance to the Merfolk Taak
* Tethis Plant - Makes everything taste amazing. Constantly tastes like something new. Able to be grown in Lake Norka?
* Tabaxi-run food cart: First found in Janwald. Current location: Unknown.
	+ Jalapeno Charizard - goes well with a squirtle of Bulbasauce
	+ Fiery Torterra - another delight of the food cart, whose name we still don't know
Blancanieves

She's here to get lost and kill a dragon and she's just finished getting lost.

## Description

Human (?) female with jet-black hair and pale white skin. She is really good with arrows.

## Biography

She had a bad bout of food poisoning as a child, which led her to meet her husband. After his death at the hands of Ojutai, Blancanieves swore revenge and tracked the dragon to Csipherus, where she encountered Aljahar and began to trek into the labyrinthine catacombs in quest of her target.

### "Take Your Tears, Put 'em on Ice" (1x62)

The party met Blancanieves on their travels through Harry's mind palace/memories. Blancanieves did not remember very much at first, but as the party questioned her, she remembered more and more. As everyone battled a group of bandits, Blancanieves shone in battle, picking off attackers with her bow. She later took issue with Zeno attempting to raise a zombie and shot at him.

### "But There's Still Tomorrow, Forget the Sorrow" (1x63)

Blancanieves leaves the party, disgusted at Zeno's necromancy, saying that she's no longer able to work with them and that she'll find her own way to Ojutai.
Glorc

Former orc guardian of the Shark Tooth. Lover of dark beers. Zeno's first reanimation project and corpse puppet that got the party through a corridor of arrows. Strongly disliked by Set. Possibly an homage to lovable firbolg Glorg? Unfortunately superheavy, causing him to plummet to his true death as the rope bridge under him collapsed. Memorialized forever with Zeno's latest banger, "Glorc's Dirge."
The Grove

Basement level of the Sunken Citadel. Home of baneberries but also yellow puffballs. Outfitted by Durnen to grow many experimental varieties of plants tended by conscripted goblins and gardener skeletons. Burial place of Meepo, Sir Bradford, Sonard the dwarf wizard, and the paladin.

**Conduit**: the Tree of Life and Death, a tree which produces apples that can cure any ailment. Theoretically also instant-death apples, but unconfirmed. The Nasty Dagger was born from this tree.
Wind's Pride

Quincy's (former) ship. Died an honorable death in combat in the middle of Lake Norka, while fighting Yuval's water tendrils and being smashed in half. There was a Mantle of the Manta Ray or something on board, but Felegum decided not to requisition it and now it too lives with the ship at lake bottom.
Nisbit

Or, more formally: Nisbit Korner Ina-Gorjon, alchemist of highest degree. More practically: a set of spider legs with the trapped consciousness of a renowned inventor. Most annoyingly: reckless with Helli's health.

## Description

Legs! Eight of them! A beautiful piece of machinery, Nisbit currently is trapped in the machinal form of a spider-legged mechanical walking device. The device itself was built for smaller races and his workshop was small enough that only Helli could fit into it, leading us to believe that Nisbit himself might have also been on the smaller side back when he inhabited a body, oh, four hundred years ago.

## Biography

### Biography

While not ethnically Csipherian, Nisbit set up his workshop and storefront in the city four hundred years ago. After an accident transferred his consciousness into a set of spider legs he was working on, his workshop was sealed with a grave marker and time passed. The legs' power source ran out and Nisbit went quiet for a long time.

### "I Can Forget About the Criminal I Am" (1x74)

While most of the party was hanging out with Trash Man Sam, Helli took an alternate escape route after the Hat-Broom Man battle. On her way, a mechanical dragonfly led her to Nisbit's workshop where she encountered a puzzling crystal door beyond the grave marker. Unable to solve it, she returned to Bacchus Jolly.

### "The Saddest Songs are Major Keys" (1x75)

Bringing a few people with her, Helli returned to the store and workshop, this time solving the puzzle and gaining access to the workshop. In the workshop, she encountered Nisbit in his spider form, able to talk to her through telepathy once Helli put on the legs. Nisbit, while understandably disoriented after so many years both alone and without a body, was very angry and expressed a desire for arms.
Sethandriel Ides

Sad aasimar teen rogue with glowing eyes. You know the type. Reluctant angel mode. May or may not hear terrible whispery things in dreams. Tried to save a kobold and failed and now has come into stewardship of a lizard. Got drunk once at a merpalace. Not proficient at doors, but is proficient at breakfast. Comes from the desert, don't ask him about trees.

Became an undocumented Paripas magic-user, helped his team win the Trials of the Mage regardless, and won a broom. Recently brought back lizard from near death experience with acid dragon somehow and now has coppery wings.
Albrecht

Brusque and to-the-point, Marshal Albrecht is an authority figure in the wardens, a subdivision of the Pathfinder wing of the Paripas Mage's Guild. Also, Harry's current boss. Knock first.

## Description

At this point, dude is literally a voice.

## Biography

### Background

Affiliated with the Paripas Mage's Guild by way of the pathfinder wing, they work with wardens. Possibly they'd been tapped by Letitia, who the party reached out to previously, to handle the matter of the City of Brass portal in Egonia.

### "And I Go Searching Through Reflections for Your Outline" (1x46)

Albrecht (then unnamed) reached out to Harry for the first time via (probably) a *Sending* spell to enquire about the portal situation. Because of Harry's Ring of Mind Shielding, however, whenever Albrecht wanted to communicate, Harry would have to allow it deliberately. This would manifest as a knock that the monk would hear. After some communication, Harry was sent a stone to throw into the portal, ostensibly by Albrecht or someone working for them.

### "You Were the Last Good Thing About This Part of Town" (1x49)

Harry finally was able to learn the name of his boss after Albrecht reached out to him when the monk contacted him via Ingrin's Sending.

## Relationships

### Harry

His boss! Or at least someone he reports to as a warden.
I Walk These Lines

The 71st session.

**Lyrics**: "What It Is to Burn" by Finch

## Highlights

Harry and Helli reveal that they've stolen a cart and Felegum cracks the love letter code. The party leaves Kalends in charge of making dinner with the crypt morels and scouts a place to have their fated confrontation with Hat-Broom Man. They get water at a squeaky pump and then return, planning out their takedown mission in more detail. The next day, they execute it and most of Hat-Broom Man. The red slither, wily foe, alas, manages to escape them.
