Wilde Cats

Wilde cats are cats born or raised in the Wildes. Unlike typical house cats, wilde cats always grow to a large size and possess the ability to speak.

###### Influence

Wilde cats are allowed to come and go wherever they please in the realms of faerie (one of the few creatures allowed to do so). They are impossible to keep in or at of a particular place so they are often employed as guardians or spies by the fey.

In particular, wilde cats have been employed by the witches of Coven to guard crossing points in and out of town.

###### Lore

No one is sure of the exact reason, but the magic of faerie always affects cats in strange and potent ways. Wilde cats possess the following unique features:

* All creatures can understand the speech of a wilde cat. These cats are not speaking a particular language, but rather magic seems to alter other creatures perception of their natural vocalizations.
* Wilde cats are the only creatures born without true names. Even if a wilde cat is given a name by someone else, using that name holds no power over the cat. This phenomenon is highly curious and completely unexplainable to faerie scholars.
* Wilde cats are immune to spells and damage caused by spells.

###### Appearances

Here are the known appearances of wilde cats in Venture Maidens:

* In Campaign 2, Episode 6: Lost Girls a wilde cat let Aoife, Lu, Rook, and Toni into Coven
* In Campaign 2, Episode 7: Cross Hairs a wilde cat was sitting on the bar, guarding the Witch's Brew

Carillon Order

Carillons are a sect of magic-users who train in the use of magic bells to summon, banish, control, and battle fey creatures. A carillon is easily recognized by the bandolier of seven bells they wear. Carillons are influential and revered figures in the Planes, who act as skilled protectors and hunters of the worst fey predators in history. Still, they are also universally feared for the mysterious knowledge they possess.

### History of the Carillons

The history of the Carillons is directly tied to the history of the city of Ashtar. Once the Eldrin Empire had colonized the Mother's Delta, they had to contend with the rampant fey threat surging along its borders. Mages, soldiers, heroes, and nobility from across the empire were called together to discuss the fey threat in the empire’s first Great Council. For weeks, the factions argued over how to best deal with the menace beyond the borders until they decided that the empire should build military stronghold atop the soaring Plateau of Andorra, which towered over the empire’s southern border. This stronghold was the beginnings of the city of Ashtar, but how best to fight the powerful faerie creatures was still in question.

         While the exact details of the story have been lost to time, it was apparently around this time that a young woman, a traveler from a far-off land, stepped forward to address the tsarina. This woman spoke of powerful binding magic used by her people to fight creatures from other worlds, and she offered to teach this magic to those brave enough to learn it. This woman’s name has been forgotten, but she is regarded as the first Carillon. Modern Carillon scholars still search for clues about this woman and the lands she originally hailed from, but speculation about who she was (and what she was) are a hotly debated topic.

### Known Carillons

Here is a list of the carillons that have appeared or been mentioned in Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 of Venture Maidens:

* Breeze
* Chidi
* Lorelei
* Ranna
* Shen
* Whistler

### Trivia

* The smallest and deadliest of the Carillons' seven bells is called Ranna. The air genasi NPC Ranna adopted this bell's name as his own.
* Celeste has mentioned that the Carillons are inspired by the Abhorsens in one of her favorite novels *Sabriel*, written by Garth Nix.

## Trivia

☁
Ashtar

**Region:** Plateau of Andorra

The city of Ashtar sits at the highest point of the Planes, built atop the Plateau of Andorra. This placement is carefully considered, as the settlement was built to survey any trouble that might emerge from the Wildes on the other side of the southern border. Reaching the city requires navigating a series of winding switchback roads that climb up the various levels of the plateau.

Ashtar is known as “the city of bells” due to traditional defensive practices. The fey of the Planes greatly dislike the sound of bells, and to further deter attack from any rogue fey, Ashtar is surrounded by them. Strings of small bells line the light posts, fences, and gates of the city, causing the air to fill with jingling whenever a strong wind blows through. In addition to these decorative strings of bells, bell towers stationed throughout the city religiously herald each hour.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Ashtar is the guardians who keep it safe. The city is home to a sect of magic-users called carillons who train in the use of magic bells to summon, banish, control, and battle fey creatures. A carillon is easily recognized by the bandolier of seven bells they wear. Carillons are influential and revered figures in the Planes, who act as skilled protectors and hunters of the worst fey predators in history. Still, they are also universally feared for the mysterious knowledge they possess.
Kronos Desert

**Known For:** Arcane Anomalies, Military Training, Warped Monsters

Rook is described as a lithe human with dark-skin and hazel eyes. Her auburn colored hair is afro-textured and she lets it grow untamed. The hunter wears practical armor and muted forest clothing. She carries an arsenal of weaponry, but favors an oversized silver crossbow.

When Rook was first encountered in Campaign 2, Episode 1, she appeared to be a 10-year old child. However, she seems to be rapidly aging each episode. In Campaign 2, Episode 10 she appeared to be 16-years old.

## Personality

Rook clearly does not have a lot of experience interacting with normal people. She is prone to combative or defensive behavior, and seems highly suspicious of genuine kindness.

In Episode 5 Rook had an unexplained meltdown when Aoife attempted to gift her with a new set of clothes.

## History

Rook has been generally cryptic when asked about her background, but she has revealed that she makes her living hunting dangerous fey. She has also alluded to a recent life change that has severely impacted her ability to work alone.

Coven

**Region:** The Wildes

Coven is a settlement in the Wildes. It is considered neutral ground by the Sovereign Courts.

###### Description

Coven is described as a quaint town reminiscent of small American New England communities. The town seems to be stuck in perpetual fall and is always decorated with harvest-themed décor.

###### Features

Here are some of the notable features about Coven:

* Arcane street lamps light the streets of Coven. Their fires burn with different colors, serving as a visual indicator of paths to different parts of town.
* Coven is prone to bizarre bouts of extreme magical weather.
* Entering Coven requires a visitor to sign a contract, assuring that they will do no violence on behalf of one of the sovereign courts while in town limits. Visitors who violate the terms of this agreement have something taken from them, like 'the color of their eyes' or their 'ability to taste sugar.'

###### Politics

Coven is ruled by a council of 13 witches who are responsible for maintaining its defense and enforcing neutrality.

###### Major Locations

Here are the major locations that have been visited in Coven.

* The Midnight Quarter
* Sunny Side
* Town Square
* Twilight Row
Borderlands

**Capital:** Bastard’s Breach

**Known For:** Rebellion, Bandits, Airborne Monsters

The Borderlands are technically a province of the eldrin empire, but the region is granted its own sovereignty, and it does not receive any political representation in the eldrin government. The people who choose to carve a life for themselves amid its barren plains are left to their own devices. While the Borderlands may be perilous, it is the only region where a humanoid can truly live outside the influence of eldrin law. Of course, this fact is attractive to criminals and anyone unwilling to exist in a regimented society.

#### Major Locations

The Borderlands consist of large stretches of wastelands punctuated by well-guarded strongholds of civilization.

* Bastard's Breach
* Elysium Keep
Feywalk Jungles

**Region:** Plateau of Andorra

This deep jungle marks the border between the fey-ruled Wildes and the eldrin empire. The Feywalk is a transitory place with one foot in the fey plane and one foot in the material realm. It is heavily infused with magic, and supernatural phenomena frequently occur in the jungles. Undocumented creatures and plants randomly appear in its depths, any structures built quickly fall to ruin, and predatory fey stalk the terrain. Rarely do non-fey races call the jungles home, but a few exceptional communities have learned to live in harmony with the ever-changing landscape. Ultimately, the eldrin empire has given up on establishing a foothold in the area and instead settles for maintaining vigilant watch of its borders.
Grandmother Filthrot

Grandmother Filthrot is a witch reportedly living in the fey settlement of Coven. She was the previous owner of the magical chicken house now in Rook's possession. Apparently, for reasons unknown, Grandmother Filth is responsible for binding a fey spirit named Gordon to the house.

In Episode 5 Rook mentions that Grandmother Filth is now an alcoholic living in Coven, but in her heyday she was 'quite the adventurer.'

Aunque está dirigido principalmente a niños pequeños, encontró seguidores entre los preadolescentes y adultos jóvenes porque, a pesar de la apariencia bastante joven y alegre del programa, tenía algunos matices bastante oscuros debajo de la superficie. La historia del programa se estaba desarrollando de manera no oficial desde 1985 y estaba en la etapa de desarrollo oficial cuando los creadores comenzaron a vender chocolates y crema de Mistle Toad para recaudar fondos.

El programa fue animado en Corea, AKOM (primera temporada) e India, UTV Toons (servicios de producción adicionales, solo en la segunda temporada), aunque se realizó mucha intermediación en los estudios Funbag y Helix en Canadá.

**Adultos**

## Recepción en España

A pesar de su buen recibimiento en Brasil y en gran parte de América Latina, en España la serie recibió críticas negativas y quejas por parte de padres de familia que opinaban que no era apropiada para el público objetivo del canal Clan, principalmente por mostrar escenas no apropiadas para niños como escenas deprimentes, accidentes y raras veces, escenas de violencia, referencias a la muerte y por promover el racismo (Este último, en los claros momentos donde Maria Joaquina trata mal a Cirilo). Esto ocasionó que únicamente se emitiera la telenovela hasta el episodio 100 en el canal y fuera movida a la madrugada a finales de 2013, para ser sacada definitivamente del aire el año siguiente del canal Clan. Sin embargo, dicha serie volvió a ser emitida en el canal RTVE, esta vez emitiendo la serie completa.

Sovereign Courts

As the ever-expanding Mortal Realm continues to eat away at the diminishing Wildes, fey have been forced to find a way to combat impending extinction. Seven sovereign courts currently lead the effort to preserve the faerie realm, each with radically different ideas on how to combat the mounting mortal threat.

## Court Hierarchy

While the members of each court have little in common with one another, the hierarchies of each are similar enough to generalize.

### Vassals

Vassals compose the largest percentage of court members. Villagers, soldiers, and supporters fall into this category.

### Courtiers

Courtiers make up a much smaller percentage of court members than vassals, but they are much more instrumental in court activities.

### Sovereigns

One fey in each court is granted the mantle of sovereign and all the extraordinary power that comes with it.

## Active Courts

Currently there are seven active sovereign fey courts:

* Blossom Court
* Court of the Winds
* Forest Court
* Heavenly Court
* Slithering Court
* Sleeping Court
* Withered Court
