## History

## Biography

### Season one

#### Recruiting Quill

Quill, now without a job after failing to secure Jonah Breakspear, is living on the Row, scavenging for food. He stumbles onto a food kitchen for his kind, Fauns. Cabal offers him food and the Cyphers. Quill returns to Cabal after having read the Cyphers. Quill wants to know everything.

A large group of religious Faun, among them are Cabal and Quill, march the Row, striking themselves with whips and demanding that the "Hidden One" show his face.

Cabal, Quill, and the rest of their religious group continue their march through the Row, calling out the Hidden One and asking that it reveal itself all the while whipping themselves, leaving fresh, bloody wounds. A Burguish man taunts them for their belief and then proceeds to attack one of them, whipping him mercilessly. Quill wishes to bring a stop to the beating, but Cabal advises him against it and point to this moment as an example. The humans will never accept them, and therefore they can make no peace with them.

Cabal shows Quill an inscribed tablet brought in from Puyan by the prior who founded their lair. He salvaged it from the great Hoff when the Burguish army razed it. He wanted to make sure the old ways would never be forgotten. Cabal tells Quill that the Hidden One brought him to them because he had a purpose for Quill. But, first he must prove himself. The man from the march who attacked one of them is brought in and pushed to his knees while his hands remain restrained. Quill takes the inscribed tablet and beats the man over the head with it.

#### Assassinating the Chancellor

Quill joins Cabal’s extremist group, and under his command, attacks and kills a fae servant of the Breakspears and takes his uniform.

Following Absalom Breakspear's death, all the fae folk of the Burgue are sequestered to the Row and placed in a concentration camp. Cabal is among them.

The World

**The World** of *Carnival Row* consists of four continents. Mesogea is in the northern hemisphere on the western side of the ocean known as the Great Main. Tirnanoc is also in the northern hemisphere, on the eastern side of The Great Main. Ignota is to the southeast of Tirnanoc, separated by seas, with a land connection on their northern edges. Little has been revealed about the fourth continent known as Obscura, which lies south of Mesogea and the Silk Sea.

Humans and Centaur are both native to Mesogea, with humans originating in the continent's south somewhere near the Silk Sea and Centaur originating in the north. As the human population expanded northward, the Centaur migrated west and settled in the steppes of Outer Mesogea.

The Faerie originate in Tirnanoc. The Faun and Trow homelands are on the northern land connection between Tirnanoc and Ignota. Kobolds hail from a small group of islands in the seas between between Tirnanoc and Ignota. There is a Naga empire in southern Ignota.

After being unconscious for almost three weeks after the attack, Magrite was visited on Carnival Row by Inspector Rycroft Philostrate who was investigating the attacks. Believing that he was a good man and wanted to stop the culprit, Magrite described the man that attacked her; bald with muttonchops, a snake tattoo on his forearm, and that he wore a uniform.

Tirnambeo

**Tirnambeo** is a country in southern Tirnanoc.

## History

In the 3rd century of the Burguish calendar’s Old Era, leadership of the traditionally matriarchal Dominion of Anoun passed to the Prince Hadeon who thereafter became the country's regent. Eager to prove himself, Hadeon rushed to war against Anoun’s then-neighbour to the south, Tirnambeo.

It was a brief but bloody conflict and only came to an end when the Tirnambean monarch surrendered her younger sister to a treaty marriage with Hadeon, thereby producing a daughter called Nimia.
Thatch

Constable **Thatch** is a policeman serving in The Burgue.

## History

### Season One

Constable Thatch is a relatively new policeman, and was partnered with Constable Boggs. While on duty on Carnival Row, they began to accost a young faun girl for selling meat without a license. Boggs tried to sell her one, but she said she would have to ask her father. Thatch threw a pig's head on the ground, which was noticed by a new arrival who told Thatch to pick it up. Thatch immediately confronted the man despite Boggs telling him not to, and found himself in a scuffle that ended up with Thatch on the floor and cleaver near his head. Boggs managed to tell him that the new arrival was Inspector Rycroft Philostrate, and apologised for Thatch as he pulled him away.

When the body of Aisling Querelle was discovered, Thatch and Boggs were part of the police presence in the area. Thatch, seeing Aisling's disembowelled corpse, promptly threw up.

Webley Mk VI

The **Webley Revolver** (also known as the **Webley Top-Break Revolver** or **Webley Self-Extracting Revolver**) is a standard-issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and the British Empire and Commonwealth, from 1887 until 1963.

The Webley is a top-break revolver and breaking the revolver operates the extractor, which removes cartridges from the cylinder. The **Webley Mk I** service revolver was adopted in 1887 and the **Mk IV** rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The **Mk VI**, introduced in 1915 during the First World War, is perhaps the best-known model.

Firing large .455 Webley cartridges, these revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced.

## Use in *Carnival Row*

The Webley Mk VI can be seen throughout the series in the hands of a number of characters. Philo uses one when confronting a suspect in "Some Dark God Wakes" and later to intervene in an altercation in "The Joining of Unlike Things." Webley Mk VI revolvers are also used by uniformed constabulary officers and members of the Chancellery guard.

## Trivia

* In "Aisling", the constabulary can be seen retrieving service revolvers from a box kept in the bullpen. As is the case with the British constabulary in real life, most peace officers seem to be armed with a truncheon during regular duties, and only carry firearms for specific tasks such as confronting dangerous suspects or arrests.
* Curiously, Philo seems to alternate between carrying a Webley Mk VI and a Mauser C96 Automatic Pistol. Since the Webley is the general issue service weapon of the constabulary, it is possible that his Mauser is a personal firearm; possibly a bring-back from his military service.

Queen of Crows

The **Queen of Crows** was a faerish mytho-historical figure who was recorded to be the first queen of Tirnanoc.

## Background

Due to the sprawling mythos of the Old Ways that is intimately entangled with faerish history, it is sometimes hard for an outside observer to tell where mythology ends and fact begins. The storied age of the gods often bleeds rather ambiguously into formal Tirnanese history: the flesh and blood Queen of Crows, who expelled the fauns from southern Tirnanoc and created the first pan-faerish empire. It was said that she was the daughter of the mythic war goddess Morrígu and was conceived when the goddess slew a dragon and mounted its still burning corpses.

Tetterby Hotel

The **Tetterby Hotel** is a brothel run by the faerie Madame Moira. Culturally very different from the puritanical humans of The Burgue, faerish reverence for the natural world includes a comfort with sex which lies at odds with human mores, provoking public disapproval while privately spurring the interest of those who would exploit this openness to sate their own desires.

## History

The Tetterby Hotel begun as an upscale hotel in Gloamingside; its business began to evolve when the first faefolk began to arrive in The Burgue. It became a performance venue, and the current owner, Madame Moira, started her career as a dancer at the Tetterby. Over time, the performances became more erotic and titillating in nature and soon it was expected that such an establishment would provide services of a more intimate nature. Soon, the Tetterby was offering more than just dance performances and lodgings.

When the hotel's human owner, Mr. Tetterby, was on his deathbed, Moira convinced him to sell her the property. Moria envisioned a faerie-owned and run business as she had no wish to be prostituted out by another human owner. The Tetterby would still be a brothel, but a brothel where Moria and other fae could work in comfort and safety.

In the post-war era of hostility to the fae in The Burgue, the fact that the Tetterby is a successful fae-owned business is remarkable. There are a few such businesses in The Burgue, and the Tetterby is the most successful and well-known.

Seven years after the end of the war in Tirnanoc, the Tetterby Hotel provides employment for many faerie immigrants, including Fleury and Tourmaline Larou.

Faerie

**Faeries** hail from the continent of Tirnanoc. It isn't an enitre country, but a continent composed of several nations and kingdoms, all faerish, but each with their own languages, traditions, and rulers (though these distinctions can seem subtle to the casual observer and are seldom appreciated by their humans counterparts).

## History

Written Tirnanese history begins before that of mankind. Faerish civilization was already well underway while humans were living in Stone Age conditions on the other side of the world. Though for much of early human history, Tirnanoc remained unknown to mankind, apart from a handful of mytho-historic accounts, the rare sailor who strayed too far and returned with fantastical tales.

The continent was formally discovered over three hundred years ago by a human explorer, a Cibolan conquistador called Basajuan Riyal, who described it as a place of vast material wealth. Others quickly followed. For the most part, the history of human-faerish relations has been shaped by a complex series of wars and proxy conflicts that flared across Tirnanoc in the intervening centuries as human nations sought to gain control of the land and its wealth: establishing colonies and protection treaties, bolstering sympathetic rulers, and exploiting rivalries to pit various fae nations against one another. Yet there were Half-fae during that time.

## Appearance and biology

Faeries are almost identical to humans albeit slighter, having four wings and have hollow bones. They age at a slower rate compare to humans. Faeries' main distinction is their ability to fly due to their muscular hydrostat wings. These wings allow faeries to take off and land swiftly, smoothly and quietly. With their hollow bones they are light enough for the wings to fly them. The age of a faerie can generally be told by the veining on their wings.

## Culture

Faeries have a reverence for nature and the natural world that extends to being extremely comfortable with sex. This is often at odds with the more puritanical outlook of the Burguish.

Morange

Dr. **Morange** did work pro bono for the constabulary, never accepting money for it as he considered it his civic duty. He was rumored to take on various under the table jobs that other doctors would not touch, such as: abortions, removing branding of convicts, and most notably wing shearing and ear bobbing for faeries looking to pass as human. Like his lover he met his demise at the hand of Piety Breakspear's Darkasher.

## History

After Philo was born, he was given to Morange who performed surgery on him that would allow him to pass as human. He then took Philo to the Light of the Martyr Foundling Home.

Morange had a long standing love affair with Costin Finch, a matter they kept secret by only meeting in a room booked in the Tetterby Hotel, as it was safer for people to assume they each had a taste for faerie prostitutes than for it to be known they were gay. After his partners death he expressed to Philo a desire to someday stop hiding his orientation.

## Biography

### Season one

#### Loss of a lover

Dr. Morange performs Costin Finch's autopsy. At the morgue, Philo tells Sergeant Dombey that whatever he saw, it was unlike anything he had seen before. Dr. Morange reveals that the cause of death was excessive exsanguination. Just like Aisling Querelle. Philo can’t imagine why the killer would want to extract the Headmaster’s liver.

Following the murder of his secret lover Headmaster Costin Finch, Morange reveals to Philo that he and Costin were having an affair, and that the rumor of him having a taste for Pix whores at the Tetterby Hotel was just a ruse. He explains to Philo that there’s always the shame and fear of being discovered. They only had one night a week to be who they truly were. Yet it was the rest of the time that felt like a lie. On top of being in a relationship with Costin Finch, Morange reveals that Costin also knew Aisling Querelle. They met a long time ago, before he took his vows. They were close then. He saw her perform multiple times. So, it would seem the murders were connected somehow, though Costin and Aisling hadn’t spoken in at least 20 years.

Morange returns home, hangs his hat, and has a drink. Morange hears a loud thud come from upstairs. Upon investigating, he is killed by the Darkasher.

Morange's body is discovered by the authorities. Like the first two victims, his liver was taken as well. Philo lies to Magistrate Flute, Constable Berwick, and Sergeant Dombey and tells them there are no connections between the three victims. While Morange was a good man, there were rumors that he handled abortions, reconstructions, and Pix looking to pass as humans by getting their ears bobbed and their wings sheared. Flute puts Philo in charge of finding a connection.

Louisa Pembroke

**Louisa Pembroke** is a socialite that resides on the Crossing.

## History

Louisa grew up wealthy in the Burgue along with Imogen and Ezra Spurnrose.

#### Meeting the Puck

Louisa and Leonid Pembroke arrive soon thereafter. Louisa takes one look at Agreus and assumes they’re playing a game. They’re meant to dress up as the help and serve the servants. After learning he is a guest as well, Leonid eagerly greets Agreus. He wants Agreus’ opinion on the city’s recent troubles. Agreus is insulted by Leonid’s condescending questioning and asks him if he’s ever been to Puyan, which he hasn’t. You could go months there without encountering anyone that wasn’t a Puck. And no one there gives even the slightest thought towards creating a more inclusive society. Not that anyone would want to live there after the war, which is how Agreus found himself in the Burgue.

Louisa Pembroke and Leslie Boythorne arrive at the museum for the charity auction. They approach Imogen and Agreus. Leslie makes a snide remark about Ezra’s lost fortune. Imogen and Agreus informs him that Ezra is putting his money into the shipping trade. Leslie has his eyes on the most striking and triumphant painting from Augustus Hope. "The Rising". It’s expected to fetch well north of 100,000 guilder.

Next up for auction is The Rising by Augustus Hope. Bidding starts at 100,000 guilder, which Leslie places a bid for. The bid eventually lands on 200,000 guilder. Leslie currently has the highest bid. Louisa sits next to him in the crowd, overjoyed. And just as it seems the painting is his, Agreus places a bid for 300,000 guilder. Without contest, Agreus takes the painting home and Imogen is greatly impressed. Agreus never intended to purchase the it, but he did it because he wanted Leslie to know that he could take it from him after he took it for granted that it should be his. Admittedly, Agreus isn’t at all what Imogen expected, though he could say the same about her.

Mauser C96

The **Mauser C96** is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937. The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and an iconic grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname "broomhandle" in the English-speaking world, because of its round wooden handle, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" (Chinese: 盒子炮; pinyin: *hézipào*) because of its rectangular internal magazine.

## Use in *Carnival Row*

The Mauser C96 is seen in use both during and after the war between the Pact and the Burgue. Darius is seen using one in the episode "Kingdoms of the Moon," while serving in Tirnanoc. Philo can later be seen using one during his investigation into the series of killings on Carnival Row.

## Trivia

* The Mauser C96 went into production in 1896. It would not take long for new designs for semi-automatic pistols to be developed into commercially successful models for military, law enforcement, and personal protection. If the C96 is in service seven years prior to the current events of *Carnival Row*, then it is conceivable that new innovations in small arms technology are not far off. Depending on the whims of the writers and prop directors, season 2 could see the introduction of new, slightly more modern firearms.
* Curiously, Philo seems to alternate between carrying a Webley Mk VI and a Mauser C96 Automatic Pistol. Since the Webley is the general issue service weapon of the constabulary, it is possible that his Mauser is a personal firearm; possibly a bring-back from his military service.
Wigsby

**Wigsby** is a solicitor retained by the Spurnrose family.

## History

Working as a solictor, Wigsby has handled the affairs of the Spurnrose family since Simon Spurnrose was alive. When Agreus Astrayon moved into Finistere Crossing, he was summoned by Ezra and Imogen Spurnrose. They wanted to discuss any legal options that would prevent the faun from moving into the area but Wigsby regretted that he could think of no legal recourse.

Finistere Crossing

**Finistere Crossing** is an upscale neighbourhood, sought after by the upper class of The Burgue. It is located on the north side of the Beorn River.

## History

On the north side of the Beorn River, the divide between the upper and lower classes of The Burgue was on full display, especially so in Finistere Crossing. It was filled with grand manors and marbled pillars, and was the home of some of the wealthiest citizens in the city. Located close to Balefire Hall, Finistere Crossing included the finest architecture, art, water fountains and parks found in The Burgue.

An opulent place, some of the residents never leave its confines, prefering to remain in a part of the city that was more civilized. The main concern of many of the residents of Finistere Crossing is keeping their family name clean and respected, and engaging in subtle games of spreading scandalous rumors about other families to reduce their standing in society.

Cape Tairn

**Cape Tairn** was a location in The Burgue, situated near the coastline leading to the Great Main. A lighthouse is situated at Cape Tairn, and it falls under the jurisdiction of Constabulary No. 6. It is frequented by upper class Burguish, with children being taken to the area by their faun nannies.

When the *Deliverance* was wrecked in winter squalls, the wreckage and bodies of the passengers washed up along Cape Tairn. Two children, Peter and Franny, discovered the wreck of the ship, leading their nanny to tell them to get a policeman. The only survivor of the wreck, Vignette Stonemoss, was found at Cape Tairn and taken to the police station for processing.

Mima Sawsaan

**Mima Sawsaan** is a Mima on Carnival Row, who brefily assists Philo in his investigation.

## History

Mima Sawsaan has been an active Mima on the Row for quite some time. She has a shrine, which Aisling Querelle would visit weekly.

## Biography

### Season one

#### Anointing Aisling

Mima Sawsaan of the Revanscleer order has come to see Aisling Querelle’s body. After what happened, Aisling would never rest if Mima didn’t anoint her. Philo allows Mima Sawsaan to begin the process, though he watches from the corner. Aisling would lite a candle at Mima’s shrine every week. For who, she couldn’t say. When Philo asks if she knows of anyone who would want to harm Aisling, Mima reveals that a pall hangs over her, and she was taken by a great evil. She was killed by something unnatural. Neither man nor fae. Philo shares with Mima how just the other night, Unseelie Jack told him about a "dark god" lurking beneath the city. Philo didn’t believe him.

#### Helping Philo

Philo looks to Mima Sawsaan for answers as to why both victims had their livers removed. Mima explains these are unholy matters and she can only speculate. She doubts he’ll believe her, but there’s a story in their oldest traditions of a beast called a Darkasher. A golem of flesh, fashioned from the limbs of the dead, and given new life and purpose. Even after all he’s seen, Philo is skeptical. In search of proof, Mima sends him to a Haruspex with a shop off Vectis Square.

Basilisk

The ***Basilisk*** was a long-range ironclad serving The Burgue. It was based out of The Burgue, and was sent to sea for three weeks at a time to patrol the waters around the city. After three weeks at sea, the *Basilisk* would return to port and its crew would take shore leave that often ended in the sailors being arrested by constables from Constabulary No. 6.

The racist fae attacker known only as Unseelie Jack was a crew member aboard the *Basilisk*, and had a tattoo of the vessel's sigil on his forearm. Unseelie Jack was wanted in connection with a series of attacks on faefolk and was eventually found by Inspector Rycroft Philostrate. After a chase through The Burgue, Unseelie Jack killed himself.

Parliament

**Parliament** is the centre of politics of the Burgue. It convenes in Balefire Hall on King's Hill on the north bank of The Burgue. Members of Parliament are elected representatives of the citizens of The Burgue's numerous precincts.

## Overview

### Structure

The Burguish Parliament is a bicameral representative body that governs the Republic of The Burgue. The Outer Chamber of Parliament serves as an elected legislature that is responsible for local affairs, and in turn appoints some of its members to the Inner Chamber, an executive body that oversees national and foreign policy. Parliament also elects one of its members as Chancellor, who leads both Parliament and the entire Republic. The Chancellor is typically the leader of whichever party holds the majority. The leader of the minority party holds the title of Proctor.

### Parties

Members of Parliament are part of one of two main political parties. The Commonwealth Party, led by Chancellor Absalom Breakspear, is a somewhat progressive party that advocates tolerance of Fae immigrants and was also a proponent of continuing the Second Tirnanese War against the Quivira-Cibola Pact, which has occupied all of Tirnanoc. The Hardtackers, a newer faction formed from a patchwork of smaller groups by Proctor Ritter Longerbane, is a traditionalist party that despises the Fae and supported the Republic of The Burgue's withdrawal from the war. Most recently, the Commonwealth Party holds a narrow majority in Parliament, allowing Absalom Breakspear to serve as Chancellor. That majority was once greater, but eroded over the years after the war as anti-Fae resentment rose in the Republic and the Hardtackers made gains in elections.

### Traditions

One of The Burgue's oldest laws is that any Burguish citizen in good standing has the right to address Parliament about any issue that concerns the well-being of the people of The Burgue. This law is not commonly invoked in modern times, but it is no less effective for that. When a citizen demands to address Parliament, all members are required to attend and debate the address. However, the citizen must also take care to follow formal etiquette when they speak, or risk Parliament halting the proceedings and ejecting them for bad form.
