**Jo Mama** is a drag adventurer and half-elf fighter who once visited the Fall Faerie Festival, where she was asked to perform and go on a quest.

## Herstory

Jo's origins are unknown, but at some point she joined the drag house Haus of Geek.

### Fall Faerie Festival

Jo, and fellow Haus of Geek members Fox E Kim and Lucy Stoole, were hired to perform at the annual Fall Faerie Festival. As part of the festival, Queen Titania tasked the trio with fetching the last of the Pumpkin Spice before Winter arrived.

Throughout the quest, Jo proved an effective leader. In most situations, she was fine with taking a backseat to action, claiming she was 'supervising'. However, when needed, she leaped readily to action. She jumped into a pile of keys to try and find one specific one, and leapt into battle with a giant scarecrow, lighting it on fire with her magical skills. She also liked to try and come up with elaborate stories of her past knowledge with other beings, which may or may not have been true.

Perhaps it was all these skills that influenced her reward for completing the quest. She was given one with by Queen Titania, and Jo wished for a democrat to win the presidency. Titania declared Jo to be Madame President.

## Character Sheet

Jo Mama is a half-elf fighter, of the eldritch knight specialty.

Lady Essence

**Lady Essence** is a Glamazon and the head of the Beautificent Council in the city of Glamalala. While she hears the thoughts of a panel of twelve judges, the final decision on judicial matters is hers and hers alone. She wears robes of gold and her hair is stylized in halo like bird wings framing her face.

During the Siege of Kracken on Fire Island, she was called to rule on the case against Booty and the Hofish, a group of adventuring queens who were suspected of having the potential to be worthy. Per the report of Grand Inquirer Rigo, they were found lacking evidence, but still had potential. For their crimes, she sentenced them to death by being catapulted into the center of the ocean, knowing that there was a chance they might survive.

Her and the council may represent the history of the twelve Great Houses of drag of the past.

## Behind the Queens

* Lady Essence is partially inspired by RuPaul's role as head judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, including her signature phrases.
* She was named by listener Daniel Melanger.

Oceanica

> "*You play around, you play hide and seek and then you get to a point where you start learning how to make the thunder and waves happen everywhere and call to the gods.*"
> ― Fraya Love
>

## Oceanica

### Inhabitants

Water Genasi

**Oceanica,** sometimes known as Waterfinalia, is the home city of Fraya Love. It is a homeland to water genasi women with blue green skin, black hair, and seaweed like markings on their bodies. The city is very private, and only those invited can go there. Tourists are killed.

In the past, most of the men of the city went off to war, and never came home, leaving the population mostly single mothers and kids. Some men stayed, and at least one man is believed to have helped continue the growth of the population.

Described as a city sized garden, huts and bungalows are built directly out of the trees and bushes where they grow. Older, retired citizens are taken care of on their own island part of the city.

Life as a child there is fairly standard, a lot of hide and seek and other such childhood games. When children come of age, they begin to study at the temples where they learn how to control the oceans and weather for the world. People there are well-tempered, unless you piss them off, which most wouldn't as they can cause hurricanes. While there are a variety of water gods in the world, one worshiped here in the temple of Ebbenflowia is Aphroheidi, one identity of the goddess Cher, who descended to the world in a clam shell.

In recent years, the Oceanican people's control of the water has been weakening. Tides have been rising and threaten to over run the city. This may be tied to the activities of an ancient Kracken that simultaneously is threatening Fire Island. The Kracken had been sealed to the water plane of reality, a seal that was guarded by the water genasi of Oceanica.

### Notable Residents:

* Pisseidon: A cleric at the temple of Ebbenflowia, mentor of Fraya's
* Fraya Love: A cleric who lost her connection to her powers and left on a quest to find them.
* Estuary: Childhood friend of Fraya's

## Behind the Queens

Player Fraya Love has spent a lot of time outside of the game working on building up the Lore of the city, and occasionally drops some of this into the game.
Cal-Gon

**Cal-Gon** is an Old God in the world of Queens of Adventure.

## Herstory

Cal-Gon was a diety in the Age of Gods. It is believed that, like many others of its kind, Cal-Gon was sealed away. Reports of Cal-Gon had certainly ceased.

In the modern era, reports reached the Glamala Archipelago that many of the Old Gods, including Cal-Gon, Lilith, and the Kracken, were being seen or their seals weakened. Ellen, a Glamazon cleric, reported on the rumors to a summit on Fire Island regarding the Seige of the Kracken.

## Worship

In the era between the Age of Queens and the Modern Age, a cult to Cal-Gon operated out of a temple in the middle of the Neverglades. The cult promised immortality. Rumors and legends reported that the cult amassed a large amount of wealth, before it too seemed to vanish like their deity.

Perigrindr Shook of the College of Wizards, found evidence in a letter from a colleague that suggested the temple was real. With the financial support of Charismo Collins, Perigrindr set out with a body guard, Agrias Lunnette, and a ranger, Grady Reineke, to find the temple in the Neverglades. They were partially guided though the swamp by large cats who roamed the landscape.

Upon entering it, they were greeted by a woman, Carol Ann, who offered them membership in the cult. Upon being approved, they were asked to make an offering of value to the vault, a room filled with treasures. All but Agrias stole something from the vault, and all but Grady left an offering. Perigrindr specifically took a gold bar of soap from a golden statue of a bathing woman.

Upon their theft and offering, an apparition appeared, either Cal-Gon himself or an ancient worshiper, who accused them of the theft, and revealed the nature of the legends of immortality: those who left offerings were transformed into cats. Grady, the only one untransformed, escaped with the three felines. The temple sank into the swamp.

## Behind the Queens

* Cal-gon is a reference to a bath and beauty products company, known for their commercials of a woman in a chaotic home environment shouting "Calgon take me away!" and cutting to a scene of her in a sudsy bathtub.
Live Streams

**Live Streams** are special events for Queens of Adventure where the cast come together online for one shots and Behind the Queens chats.

## Origins

During the original Kickstarter campaign, stretch goals were reached that unlocked two Live Streams. The first several streams featured one shots where the cast gathered in person to be streamed online. These streams often coincided with other events or fundraisers, including the Extra Life fundraiser, the launch of the second Kickstarter, and the launch of Queens of Adventure legends.

Later, during the covid-19 pandemic, more streams were held featuring remote casts streaming in via Zoom to play online.

Starting in July 2020, the show began to plan for more regular live streams, starting with a live Q&A on July 19th. DM James has discussed on his twitch channel the possibility of limited series with other stories or games.

## List of Live Streams

### Cancelled

A live stream with the Seattle cast which was to also feature Rock M. Sakura was scheduled for December 22nd, 2018, but was cancelled.

## Extra-Life

In addition to the live streams featuring the queens, DM Matt has also hosted several live streams for the Extra Life Seattle fundraiser. The first of these streams, The Lost Treasure of the Neverglades, was released as an early bonus episode for the podcast, and are considered to be in the same continuity as the main podcast. You can find more information on their episodes on the **Extra Life** page.

## Behind the Queens

In addition to these, the cast got together and live streamed putting DM Matt into drag for the first time. Information on that can be found at A Drag Transformation.
Hole of Glory

The **Hole of Glory** is a communication device used on Fire Island, utilized by the Glamazons.

The holes are six feet tall stone structures with a large hole in the middle. The hole acts as a portal, allowing someone's head to move through. On the other side of the portal is a room within Glamalala where messages can be relayed. The room has multiple receiving ends of portals, connecting to various Holes around the island.

One Hole of Glory is known to the HOGs permitted to live on the western side of the island, and is located a few hours hike away from the Golden Palace. This is the primary location for them to make contact with Glamazons. The party of Booty and the Hofish noticed it on a map of the island built as part of a Stone Shrine. They later traveled to the Hole, accompanied by Glamazon cleric Ellen, to request a mutual defense summit at the Glamazon Observatory to discuss the Siege of the Kracken.

Following the summit, the Glamazons came to the Golden Palace to install a new Hole of Glory within Belfry Ramshackle's office, and intended to give the HOGs a portable hole of glory.
Nocturna Lee Mission

> "*My shadow blade is long and strong. It starts out blunt and tapers into skinny so it hurts right away.*"
> ― Nocturna Lee Mission
>
>

**Nocturna Lee Mission** is a Eladrin Sorcerer drag adventurer, and member of the House Tuckernauts. She was once tested for her legendary potential.

## Herstory

Nocturna's early life is not documented, but she eventually became part of the drag troop known as the Tuckernauts.

While camping overnight on her way to the Enchanted Wig Market with fellow Tuckernauts The Other Jeannie Retelle and Utica Queen, Nocturna found herself transported to the World of Wonder by a supernatural being called the Producer. He explained he is looking for queens with the potential to be legendary, and they were chosen to undergo his Ship of Trials.

Noctura charged in with natural confidence, navigating their first puzzle, although took damage from a trap she didn't detect. When the group was attacked by a humanoid turtle, she was the first of her party to be willing to try to attack it, after she shrugged off his *teenage attitude* and sword attacks. At the end of the battle, she defeated the turtle, rather violently.

As their group faced off against another drag group in a catwalk challenge, she did a striptease to primordial polka. It would not have been effective, but she found inner inspiration and convinced the spirits judging to support her.

Convinced, the spirits declared her group the winners, and decreed them to have legendary potential. They were sent home, waking up in the forest, and found a golden turtle shell as proof of their journey.

Nocturna's further adventures are not documented.

#### Spells and Abilities

* Ray of Frost
* Shadow Blade

Golden Palace Loyalty Program

The **Golden Palace Loyalty Program** was originally set up to reward high stakes guests at the Golden Palace casino. Amidst the siege of the Kracken, it has been revamped into a way to manage resources and encourage guests to participate in defense of the resort.

As guests take on rolls and activities to support the crisis, they earn points. This can be done with direct battle with seaspawn, working in the armory, buffet, or stables, or by going on quests issued by the casino owner, Belfry Ramshackle. Earning points will raise up the member's level, earning them greater rewards.

As of their departure for a visit in Glamalala, Booty and the Hofish had reached level 5.

### Levels

* Lv1: Fresh Fish - access to the armory
* Lv2: Copper Crab - complimentary room and board
* Lv3: Silver Sponge - broader access to the armory
* Lv4:
* Lv5: Platinum Porpoise - level 3 of the armory
* Lv6: - Private penthouse apartment
Ice Princess

The **Ice Princess** is the ruler of the Crystal Palace, high atop a snowy mountain in the realm. It is unclear the extent of the area she rules, besides the castle, but she is partially responsible for protecting the Ice Scepter and locating individuals who may be worthy to receive it.

To this end, the Ice Princess oversees the annual Search for the Tops talent competition in her palace. While a panel of judges determines which entrees move on to the finals, she presumably makes the final decision on the winner. That winner receives the ice scepter, which can be used to unlock a vault on Fire Island containing a lost treasure of the legendary queen: Dame Celia Molestranger. Should any winners fail to unlock the treasure by the end of the year, the scepter is returned to the Ice Princess.

The Princess is known both for her hospitality, allowing competition winners to stay on with open ended stays in the palace, and providing guests sleigh tours of the grounds, and even offering sleigh transport away from her realm if needed. She also loves a good entertainment, both the talent variety and the battle variety. Part of the annual Tip of the Tops festival that surrounds the Search for the Tops includes a demonstration battle in the arena. The Ice Princess is known to shout out praise and suggestions throughout the battles.

As an air genasi, the Princess has learned considerable control over the elements and the weather. She is able to rebuild much of the icy structure of the Crystal Palace within a day, as demonstrated in a recent Search for the Tops when two sets of competitors destroyed much of the theater's lobby before an Abominable Snow Beast brought down the theater. All was repaired before a banquet the next day. However, she has noticed a diminishing of her powers in recent months. A blizzard around the bottom of her mountain she should have easily been able to command, was outside her control. She confessed to Fraya Love, a fellow weather controlling genasi with diminished powers, that she feared a dark or sinister force was at work.
Lashes

> "*I had this all planned out but I was being attacked by Lashes.*"
> ― Pollo del Mar
>
>

**Lashes** is the name of a kind of drag golem, composed of wigs and mannequin parts. They are often associated with the House of Wunderbred. The creations appear to be larger, more complex forms of mannequeens, and due to their wig make up are especially vulnerable to fire.

There are at least two forms of Lashes: Regular, and Mega-Lashes, which are even larger and sometimes require complex summoning rituals.

Once, members of House Aubergine were confronted with a drag golem, summoned by members of House Effluvia during the Cornball. Pollo del Mar called it 'Lashes', either meaning she coined the name, or had previous experience with these monsters.

During the end of the Age of Queens, Lady Edith and Brioche Wunderbred summoned a Mega-Lashes to help their battle maidens defend against an invasion by Malady and shadow monsters.

Centuries later, when an adventuring party escaped the dungeons of Wunderbred Manor to confront Lady Edith, now corrupted by shady magic, she summoned a Lashes to confront the group. After it was defeated, Edith summoned three more and combined them into a Mega Lashes. The queens were only able to defeat this one with the divine influence of Cher, who channeled her power through a locket they found in the manor's dungeon.

While undergoing combat training in Glamalala, the same party participated in a battle simulation of the invasion of Malady and were able to defeat the Mega-Lashes. This impressed their trainer, Remoulade, who said few teams had been able to defeat the construct in pass battle simulations.

**Attacks**

* Hair Whip
* Envelope
* Projectile Barrage
* Eye Lash Club

## Behind the Queens

In a bonus episode, DM Matt explained how during one of the test games he ran before the first live show, player Carlos Maza (who would later play Agrias Lunnette) managed to take control of Lashes and use it to attach the Fourth Wall spell in the theater.
Jort

> "*In a word... disaster." - "Reliably incompetent. Consistent." - "And yet, so confident.*"
> ― Irene Dubois and Bosco
>
>

**Jort** is a junior ranger in the city of Glamalala. He becomes entangled in a situation involving poachers and novice ranger candidates.

## Herstory

Jort grew up in the city of Glamalala. He has a very close relationship with his mother, who is known to coddle him.

He passed Ranger training and achieved Junior Ranger status. Despite this, he does not seem to be well liked in the city.

### Ranger Tryouts and Poachers

A year after his induction, on the night of the Founders Festival, Jort attended a gladiator combat event and was the only one to mock the combatants, Irene Dubois and Bosco, both of whom were to start Ranger tryouts the next day. Later that night, he caught the two of them out during curfew. As he attempted to take them into custody, they encountered Senior Rangers Jimenez and Richard, who relieved Jort of his charges. Believing justice was served, he headed home to his mother where he embellished his accomplishment.

In the morning he was assigned to investigate a missing ranger in the eastern wilds of the island as well as to assist in the ranger tryouts. He once again mocked Irene and Bosco when he encountered them on their way to release a musk otter into the wild. They informed him of evidence of poachers, which he dismissed.

Later he encountered the poachers: A lizardfolk and two dwarves. Somehow, he ended up trapped in a sack, possibly because he crawled into himself to hide from them. As the poachers brought him to their hideout, they encountered Irene and Bosco, who defeated them in a skirmish, knocking out the lizardfolk and freeing Jort.

While deciding what to do, they were my by Glamazon Inquirer Rigo Caylis and his daughter Ellen. Rigo encouraged them to turn the prisoner over to him, so he could find a way to avoid political turmoil his discovery would cause. Jort was ammenable, but the novices insisted on taking him into custody. Rigo referred them to the Ranger Station on Cliffhanger Crest.

During their trip to the station, Jort vacillated between being helpful, causing problems, and being of no help. He managed to knock out one of the dwarves who ambushed them, but angered some wild dickpigs who attacked them, and hid when the group encountered a wyvern. He also easily was fooled with false praise by Komodo, the lizardfolk, who used Jort's vanity to try and get himself free. Through it all Jort held firm in his belief that he was in charge, and was the best out of all of them.

## Behind the Queens

Jort was played by DM Matt. In the arc he appeared in, Matt was not the DM for the first time. According to the patreon chat episode in May 2020, while Matt knew a few broad story beats, he did not know a lot of what DM James had planned. This allowed Jort to have a little more agency like a player character.

Jort's name came about at the table at the table right before he was introduced as the group was discussing denim clothing.
House Molestrangler

**House Molestrangler** was one of the Great Houses of the Age of Queens. It's founder, Dame Celia Molestrangler was considered to be a legend.

After the rise of the Taint, the Great Houses tried to drive it back, but failed. Molestrangler and three other houses, fled with a powerful relic to Fire Island in the Glama Archipelago. There members of the house helped to found the city of Glamalala and the Glamazon culture.

Known Members:

* Dame Celia Molestrangler
Live Shows

**Live Shows** are one shot story lines for the Queens of Adventure podcast that are performed before a live audience.

## Origins

Though always intended to be a podcast, creators Matt and James recognized a need to keep the concept rooted in live drag performances. They were unsure of how to do that until they decided they could simply make a live show. The first live show was on August 31st, 2017 at the Timbre Room in Seattle. Since then, shows have been held at the Timbre Room and its downstairs neighbor Kremwork, Oasis in San Francisco, Lush in Minneapolis, Mary's Attic in Chicago, and at three conventions.

## Structure

Each live show consists of a one-shot D&D campaign, designed to be fully completed within the allotted time of the show. DM Matt and the Queens each sit at a small stand that allows them to review character sheets, roll dice, and store drinks. A Dice Boy stands on stage to assist in a variety of ways.

Most shows open with a pre-planned lip synch number, where the queens, in story, have been asked to perform at some venue. From there they are led into an adventure at the performance venue. What follows are mixtures of D&D encounters, including combat and skill challenges, but also live stunts. Some common stunts include:

* Catwalks
* Drawing monsters
* Unplanned lip synchs

The show always ends with a second pre-planned lip synch, where the queens are only told what the song will be, and what line will queue it, not the context.

### Audience Participation

The audience can join in the events in two main ways: Before the show starts, and again at intermission, paddles are distributed. These have a plus one on one side, and a negative one on the other. The paddle can be used once to add or subtract to any dice roll in the game. Usually this is done to help the queens, although sometimes a chaotic evil fan will use it to make things worse.

The other way to help is by rolling a large foam dice. Whenever a queen rolls with advantage, the Dice Boy will chose an audience member to throw the large dice back onto the stage to act as the queen's second roll.

In rare cases, an audience member may be dragged on stage by a queen to 'assist' in a stunt.

## Upcoming Live Shows

Below is a list of upcoming live shows:

There are no currently announced upcoming shows due to the covid-19 pandemic.

## Live Streams

As part of the original Kickstarter campaign to fund Season One, three stretch goals unlocked three live streams, where queens would play live online. You can find out more information about these on the Live Streams page.

## Cancelled Shows

Several times, due to unfortunate circumstances, live shows have been cancelled before they could happen. The first cancelled show for May 2018 was due to be the debut of the Chicago Cast. All three cast members would later be able to appear in October 2019. Seven shows were cancelled due to the covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. The Portland shows were due to introduce Claire Apparently, Loretta Good Lordchild, and Pepper Pepper to the case, while the San Francisco shows were due to introduce Jelly Jellyfish.
Conchita Best

**Conchita Best** or Conchy, was an alias used by a skilled half-elf fighter and mercenary.

## Lost Mines of Phandelvar

When Gundren Rockseeker hired drag queen adventurers Arson Nicki and Fraya Love to escort supplies to the town of Phandalin, a route known for bandits, the queens hired a mercenary to assist them. The mercenary explained she preferred to not use names, but allowed her employers to give her a nickname if they chose. The queens decided to call her Conchita Best, or Conchy for short.

When the group discovered a pair of dead horses and were ambushed by goblins, Conchita took aim at their attackers with her shortbow, but missed repeatedly.

Realizing the horses belonged to their employer, the queens followed the trail of the goblins. After Fraya was caught in a snare trap, Conchita failed to be able to cut through the rope, leaving Arson to release her friend.

Finding the cave where Gundren and his friend Sildar were taken, Conchita hid outside in the bushes, waiting. Not too long after, the queens were chased from the cave by the goblins and their bugbear boss, Klarg. She leaped into battle alongside her companions. However both her bow and sword attacks against Klarg missed over and over. When a powerful lightning bolt cast by Fraya connected with the water of a stream flowing through the cave mouth, Conchita was thrown back against a cave wall, coming to only after the battle was over.

The queens had been successful in defeating the goblin clan and rescuing the dwarves. She followed them to Phandelin, took her payment, and left the group.

## Behind the Queens

* As this character was added to the campaign to help balance out the more magical natures of Arson and Fraya, they were intended to be a blank slate. Turns out they didn't need her help anyway.
* The name is a play on the name of famous Austrian Drag Queen and singer Conchita Wurst.
David Bowie

**David Bowie** is a deity in the world of Queens of Adventure.

Little is known of him, his origins, or what he represents. He is known best through Ellen, a cleric of life from Glamalala who worships him and draws power from that worship. Her focus is a set of crystal balls she twirls in her hands as she sings songs devoted to him.

## Behind the Queens

* When it came time to decide on Ellen's deity, the players at the table made several suggestions. These were provided to financial backers on the podcast's Discord server whose chose David Bowie overwhelmingly from the options which included Rebecca De Mornay and Tickle Me Elmo.
Rihanna Heffington

## Rihanna

**Rihanna Heffington** is a luck goddess in the universe of Queens of Adventure. She has a receding hairline and mullet, pronounced nose, plump lives, and svelte androgynous look.

She is worshiped by Sister Baccarat who tends a shrine at the Golden Palace on Fire Island.

Supplicants can receive blessings from her, by spinning a wheel of fortune.
Ramshackle

> "*I can't believe I dated him." - "I can.*"
> ― Harlotte O'Scara and Butylene O'Kipple
>
>

**Ramshackle** is a skilled rogue and a member of the Thieve's Guild of Sknorf, where his father was Master. His mother was a noble woman and acclaimed dancer. It was through his parents that he met noble Harlotte O'Scara, who had taken a liking of the way of thieves. They were romantic partners for a time before Harlotte fled court for a life of adventure. One of their favorite memories together was stealing a Duchess's diamond necklace back and from each other.

Years later, Harlotte sought him out for help fencing a gem and he tried to woo her to restart their former partnership, certainly of the thieves variety and possible the romantic one as well. Harlotte considered him trustworthy, although not one who could hold his liquor as well as he believed he could.

He told her all about the powers of the gem to unlock Harlotte's secret powers, and made it clear he would not try to take it from her, but asked her to remember him if she ever found anything else. He failed to tell her he was already married to legendary pirate queen Belfry, with whom they had a child, during their hours of reminiscing.
Lamont Du Pont IV

> "*Reminds me of when I was a young man on the family farm, relaxing on the porch, as happy as a dragon in a hammock made of gold.*"
> ― Lamont Du Pont IV
>
>

**Lamont Du Pont IV** is a half-elf tourist and resident of the Golden Palace casino.

### History

Lamont grew up on a farm. Later in life, he came to Fire Island for a vacation of gambling, and maybe hoping to find a nice woman to romance. Instead, he was caught on the island during an ongoing attack by seaspawn.

The casino allowed surviving guests to stay and be fed and sheltered as long as they provided assistance in protecting the island. Lamont took charge of the casino's armory.

When the morale officers, Booty and the Hofish, invited him to their first show, he expressed a lack of interest in theater, but ended up first in line despite, and after receiving a perfect mint julep the queens had helped prepare for him.

Days later, the Queens requested he accompany them on a mission to the Underdark City below Fire Island to try and recruit an ancient group of drow warriors who were once allies of the Glamazons. On the journey, he became acquainted with the Queens new party member, Irene Dubois with whom he exchange many mutual flirtations. He also proved himself to be a capable fighter in battle.

### Personality

Lamont speaks with the airs of a respectable gentleman, but is not above a fair amount of flirting. His preferred drink is a mint julep, perfectly made with gelatinous turkey brand bourbon, chilled to perfection, with a drop of sunshine and green as a goblin's butt.

## Behind the Queens

Listener Ellen Sweeney named Lamont, just as listener Lamont Du Pont named the npc Ellen.
Mysterious Voice

Aside from their being an entity who seems tied to the power of shade, and actively seeks to corrupt members of the Legendary Drag Houses, little is known yet about the **Mysterious Voice** heard on at least two occasions by members of House Aubergine.

The queens of the house first encountered it while applying for membership. They were tasked with journeying to the Shady Pines to retrieve the wig of Madame Lepus, former member of the house. All they knew when they entered the forest was that Lepus had fallen to the shady side. When the team first encountered Madame Lepus, Kitty Powers is briefly able to use charm person to free her from outside influence. However, a mysterious voice demands Lepus not fail the voice now, and she reverts back to shady. It takes the power of a snowglobe, given to KaiKai Bee Michaels by Melba von Toast, to bring out Lepus's memories and free her from the shade fully. It is unclear whether the entity that was controlling Lepus was the source of the shady magic in the Shady Pines, or if the magic was pre-existing.

Later, the same team of House Aubergine queens competed in the annual Cornball drag house competition. Their chief rivals, a team from House Effluvia, used shady magic on several occasions to disrupt the contest: including turning their reads into attacks, summoning blightwigs and mannequeens, and calling up a Drag Golem. Once they were defeated, by a spell song performed by the combination of all Houses in the competition, a mysterious voice boomed out that House Effluvia had failed the voice. They were then dragged into the darkness and were never seen again.

It is not necessarily the case that the mysterious voice in both instances was the same, or even related, but each instance of the voice was fixated on its servants not failing it.
Magic Mouth

**Magic Mouth** is an illusion spell, used heavily by the most powerful of the great queens from the lost Age of Queens. The spell records a message to be replayed later if a visual or verbal cue is done within close range of the location of the spell. This could be a certain phrase being said, or vogue dancing, for example.

The great queens often used this spells as part of the protection of their most treasured artifacts. They were left as tests to future generations of queens to determine who was worthy.

### LaBouche Gardens

Lady LaBouche, founder of LaBouche Gardens, filled her amusement park with magic mouth spells, activated by voguing in mirrors the spell was attached to. Each magic mouth outlined the challenge the treasure seeker needed to accomplish in order to progress closer towards the treasure of Lady LaBouche.

### Alternate Continuity

In an alternate continuity, magic mouths were placed throughout the tomb of the Surf Queens. Those seeking their relics were subjected to a series of trials, overseen by the lips. It is possible that at least one of the mouths was more powerful, or more sophisticated as it could hold an actual conversation with a group of queens who came into the tomb. The queens even managed to redo the lipstick on the mouth.
House Bumblicious

**House Bumblicious** was one of the Legendary Drag Houses of old. Little is known about their members or their exploits, but they were known to uphold the values of the Age of Queens to improve the world around them.

A team of Bumblicious queens reached the finals of the annual Cornball competition at least once. They performed a number in bee costumes. Later, when shade monsters sent by House Effluvia attacked the festival, they teamed with House Aubergine and other houses to combat the shade with a joint performance spell. They were awarded the title: Congenial Queens.

At the end of the Age of Queens, when many of the houses left the realm to flee the Taint, members of House Bumblicious were amongst those who moved to Fire Island and helped set up the kingdom of Glamala, which would uphold the Drag code for centuries to come.
Deven

**Deven** is a Tabaxi bard and adventurer who is a guest of the Seelie Court in the Fae Wilds.

## Herstory

### Pre-Show

Not much is known of Deven's past. She spent time as a performer, a martial artist, and a figure skater. Eventually she came to be connected to Queen Titania of the Seelie Court.

### Fall Faerie Festival

One year she was invited to join other mortals who were in Titania's court and participate in the annual Fall Faerie Festival. The group was sent on a quest to find and retrieve pumpkin spice from deep in a forest, to replenish the faeries's supply to last through the winter.

On the quest, she realized she was in heat, and overtime drew the attention of Vidor, a fox who was a companion to party member Grady. Deven also became fast friends with Perigrindr Shook, and was fascinated by his ever shifting magical nature. When offered the chance to drink a witch's brew that may have transformative effects, she jumped at the chance. It resulted in her growing an extra pair of arms.

Upon completing the quest, she wished for a four handed ukulele to add to her musical instrument repertoire, and was granted this by Queen Titania. She also wished for a date with Vidor, and was told she didn't need a wish for that. They attended the Carol Day festivities together a month later.

Concierge

## Richard Fitzwell

Richard Fitzwell, better known as the **Concierge** was an employee of the Golden Palace casino on Fire Island.

He has spent a lot of time working as a tour guide for the island, before his most recent posting during the Siege of the Kracken as Concierge.

He helped the queens of Booty and the Hofish twice, first warning them to not try to cross into the Glamazon side of Fire Island to try and get rejuvenating mud as it would violate the treaty, and the second time providing them with ideas for how to reach the town of Watersport and how to deal with wyverns.

While the queens were away on their mission, the Concierge was taken by seaspawn during High Tide and killed. The queens held a memorial for him, where his spirit joined the spirit of Tootsy the Clown in a loving kiss and embrace.

Tootsy the Clown

**Tootsy the Clown** was a performer and resident on Fire Island until his death, at which point he became a spirit that lingered.

## Herstory

It is not known when Tootsy and his group of clown performers, came to live on Fire Island and work in the theater at the Golden Palace casino. What is known is that his performances were not well liked, nor was he, according to Augustus Crimweath, theater manager.

During the Siege of the Kracken, Tootsy was dragged into the water by seaspawn. He was taken to an undersea cave near a narwhal shaped rock and taken before the Kracken Priest who turned him into a seaspawn.

After his death, his ghost returned to the theater, appearing on stage during a drag show, Field Hockey: The Frock Opera, put on by Booty and the Hofish. The spirit made threats to the performers, who quickly realized all the ghost wanted was a good show. They mock battled, and his mock defeat garnered applause from the audience, all he had ever wanted in life. His spirit was freed. Before he disbursed, he gave the queens a warning about what he had seen when he was dragged beneath the waves, in hopes of helping them defeat the Priest.

Days later, after the death of the Concierge, Richard Fitzwell, in battle, the queens held a ceremony for what everyone at the resort had lost. Following the ceremony, the spirits of the Concierge and Tootsy appeared in the clouds, kissed, and vanished.

## Behind the Queens

Tootsy's appearance at the Frock Opera was a decision made by backer poll in the podcast's Discord channel. They were asked to chose between a spirit interrupting, or one of the party members seeing someone from their past, or an earthquake.
Jo Ramshackle

**Jo Ramshackle**is a human child, daughter of Belfry Ramshackle. She was living at the Golden Palace on Fire Island during the Siege of the Kracken.

## Herstory

Jo Ramshackle is the daughter of Belfry Ramshackle, owner of the Golden Palace resort on Fire Island. It is not known how long she has lived there. She was a huge fan of Trixie LaBouche, and her mother encouraged this passion by providing her a ton of vintage Trixie LaBouche merchandise she purchased at the Nexus of Sidhe'Bae.

### Siege of the Kracken

After the Old God Kracken began his assault on the island, Jo spent most of her time in her mother's penthouse suite and office. Protecting her daughter was one of Belfry's top priorities.

Jo met Booty and the Hofish, a team of drag adventurers, when they stopped by the office for a meeting. They told her stories about having met the spirit of Trixie LaBouche during an adventure at LaBouche Gardens.

She found a playmate in Chaz Noble, son of the warforged Cher Noble, who came to the resort after meeting Booty and the Hofish and also loved Trixie LaBouche. The two frequently played together as Chaz recovered from being sick.

As events on the island intensified, Belfry began to station one person from the resort in her office each day to use the Hole of Glory to communicate with the drag adventurers on missions. The first day of this, the queens chose ghost bard DJ Cyberpreppy, who was tethered to a Portable Party. Jo loved having the DJ around (although her mother less so) and frequently asked him to play 'Baby Shark'.

The next day, when scholar Patrick went missing from his post at the Hole of Glory, Belfry asked Jo to look for him. She discovered the Portable Party and ghosts had been relocated to the basement vault of the casino. That night, when she should have been in bed, she and Chaz were in the vault using it to play her favorite song. Unbeknowst to her, the Portable Party was also an altar, and it was in the vault to protect the Kracken Priest's Heart. Having the altar, heart, and ghosts playing music triggered a ritual that could have created a new Kracken Priest. It also summoned various sharks from the ocean into the casino via the aquarium in the center.

Booty and the Hofish came back to the Casino late at night and tried to deal with the sharks and the ritual. Belfry, once awakened and alerted to the situation, rescued her daughter (who was unwilling to leave the party at first) with the help of the drag queens. Cher Noble escorted Chaz and Jo to the office, where sharks emerged from the top of the aquarium. As various allies dealt with the sharks, aaracockra fighter Sir Throbardon flew off with the kids to seek safety.

## Behind the Queens

Despite the character's role growing in later arcs, DMs Matt and James have said that she is not the final boss, or a secret evil. Just a child who got involved in the ongoing story.
