Colin Feathers

**Colin Feathers** in an ostrichwun (major) and a librarian at the Gobleian Library.

## Physical Appearance

Based on the common ostrich, Colin would stand anywhere from 6 ft. 11 in. to 9 ft. 2 in. on strong, unfeathered legs. His wingspan would be around 6 ft. 7 in. Feathers would be mostly black with white primaries while the head and neck would be only covered by a light layer of down. The eyes would be 2 in. in diameter. The pinkish beak is flat, broad, and rounded at the end.

As a Wunimal, Colin wears a tweed vest to distinguish him from unnimal ostriches. Unlike his unnimal counterpart, Colin is mentioned to have three toes on his feet (usually ostriches have only two).

## Relationships

### Roshni Singh

Colin seems to be on good terms with Roshni and they seem to watch out for each other.

## Etymology

**Colin** is most likely an Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Cailean. Cailean means "whelp" or "young dog." Colin may have also been derived from the name Nicholas (Greek - Νικόλαος (*Nikolaos*) meaning "victory of the people") as a nickname in Medieval England.

Like many Wunimals, the surname typically describes a physical aspect or species of the corresponding unnimal. In this case **Feathers** would refer to the brilliant plumage that ostriches possess.

## Trivia

* Colin is said to have three toes on his feet, but ostriches only have two, typically. Otherwise most kinds of birds have at least three or four toes.

Containment and Distraction

**Containment and Distraction** (abbreviated as C&D) describes the real purpose of the Wundrous Society. Using their talents to contain the monsters that lurk within Nevermoor, and to distract the citizens while they are undergoing the containment. This can take a variety of forms, some include Golders Night, fireworks, or a parade.

Only introduced to scholars after they pass their loyalty test, they will have two groups, handling the beasts and public of Nevermoor, the former is usually a defined procedure, the second needs to constantly change and adapt, although revisiting old distractions is also acceptable. It is noted that distractions don't always require a full participation rate, as it is implied that the Wundrous Society can handle at least a 15 percent unparticipative population. Scholars are encouraged to give ideas of their own and cover the issues in their field or department.
High Council of Elders

"*They're the best and most brilliant of us.*"
―Jupiter North[src]The **High Council of Elders** are three elected members from the Wundrous Society who govern and guide the members of the society through one Age. At the end of every Age, the members of the society elect three new members.

## Behind-the-Scenes and Trivia

* It is unknown if a member can be on the council more than once
* Elder Akinfenwa is Francis Fitzwilliam's great-grandmother
* Elder Lusk founded the Wunsoc teaching hospital and has a statue on Sub-Three.
* Elder Ashby and Elder Zimmerman are featured in the title of a book on Wundrous Society Elders.

## Biographical Information

### Also Known As

* Cook
* The cook
* The Crow’s cook

## Social Information

### Affiliation(s)

Crow Family

The **Crow’s cook**, also just called Cook by Morrigan Crow, was a servant who prepared the Crow family’s meals. She was a superstitious old lady who believed in the Eventide child curse (such as Morrigan killing the gardener by sneezing on him). She wore as pendant -possibly of the Divine Thing- around her neck and used it as a good-luck charm of sorts.

Witness

### Description

Witnesses can see things normal people others can't on everyday objects and people.

### Notable People

* Jupiter North
* John Korrapati

A **Witness** has a knack that sees some things others can't on everyday objects and people. This includes being able to view hidden emotions and feelings.

## Characteristics

While this knack is quite useful, it can also cause insanity and psychosis if not regulated and controlled. It can be inhibited by wearing an eyepatch, or another form of partially blocking one’s sight. A Witness can see wunder as well as wundrous things such as wunimals. Jack often describes the emotions and concerns of people, while Jupiter is also able to see the past of objects and people, such a Morrigan's haircut.

During the Hollowpox epidemic the Witness ability was one of the only tools available to WunSoc doctors. Jupiter relied on Jack more than he usually would like to. There were few, if any, other Witnesses available which confirms the Knack is extremely rare. Jack's dubious gift is a rare example of an inherited knack.

## Known Witnesses

* Jupiter North
* John Arjuna Korrapati
* Two other Witnesses able to help with Hollowpox, living outside nevermoor

## Trivia

* Being a Witness is almost a heightened form of the pseudoscience of psychometry. A Witness constantly sees history, connections, and current emotions/state-of-being, whereas in psychometry there must be a physical connection for the user to read the history of the object.
* We see how Jack reacts when he sees Morrigan with his ability. Any Witness that sees a Wundersmith will immediately know that they are looking at someone who is very unusual. Jupiter would have tried to avoid other Witnesses from meeting Morrigan.

## Notes and References

1. ↑ Hollowpox (novel) "It was a dubious gift he’d inherited from Jupiter" - narration
2. ↑ Jack might not be Jupiter's nephew but instead a fellow Witness that Jupiter is teaching and protecting - there is circumstantial evidence: (1) Jupiter is blue eyed, freckley, and ginger, but Jack has no hint of that in his appearance. (2) There is no mention of Jupiter's sister or Jack's father. (3) Parents seeking a WunSoc sponsor have been thrusting their children at Jupiter for years, perhaps Jack was introduced as a potential candidate (when he was eight years old) (4) Jupiter has adopted one other child. (5) Jupiter will lie to protect a child.

Room 85

"*It's uh... a bit boring, but it's only just met you. You'll get acquainted. Things will change.*"
―Jupiter North on Room 85[src]
**Room 85** is a bedroom on the fourth floor of the Hotel Deucalion. It is Morrigan Crow's room while she stays at the hotel.

## Description

Like other rooms in the Hotel, the room changes as it "gets used to" the occupant; the room adds and removes new features, like hatstands, hammocks, terrariums, or even an ensuite bathroom. It has been known to have a conscience and even respond to criticism, like other rooms in the Hotel.

On her first morning in Room 85, the room provided Morrigan with a blue dress - not a black dress - indicating that it hadn't got to know her yet.

One feature that stayed fairly constant during Morrigan's tenure was an octopus chair that would wrap its tentacles around you if you sat on it. The other was a door leading to WuncSoc Station 919 while she attended the Wundrous Society.

## History

The room was created along with the Hotel, at an unknown time. As of Spring of One, Third Age of Aristocrats, Morrigan Crow is the occupant of the room.

Roshni Singh

**Roshi Singh** is a member of the Wundrous Society and a librarian at the Gobleian Library .

## Biography

It could be deduced that around the age of 11, Roshni was selected for the Wundrous Society by a patron. She completed the trials for the society and become a member of a unit, and later graduated. She became a bookfighter and also the youngest librarian at the Gobleian Library. At some point she met Marina Cheery.

## Personality and Traits

Roshni is portrayed somewhat as a stickler for the rules, as she was originally quite reluctant to let children into the Goblein library. She shows traits of an intellectual, and was involved in helping Unit 919 to select books to read. It could be said that she is rather brave or hardworking, as she willingly immersed herself in the dangerous conditions of the Goblein library.

## Accomplishments

* Graduate of the Wundrous Society
* Youngest ever Librarian at the Gobleian Library

## Relationships

### Marina Cheery

Miss Cheery is Roshni's longtime friend, and at the end of Hollowpox is revealed to be her girlfriend when Morrigan sees them kissing. Roshni affectionately calls her "Maz" and can be persuaded to bend or break some rules to make her happy. In return, Miss Cheery is very protective of her.

Scaly Sewer Beast

The **Scaly Sewer Beast** is a serpentine creature that lives in sewers. It is unknown at this time if the **Nevermoor Scaly Sewer Beast** is a sub-species or just an alternative name.

## Nature

### Physical Appearance

The scales of the Scaly Sewer Beast a yellow-white colour, though they are rough and patchy and absent in spots which reveals raw pink skin in those spots. It is unknown if the Scaly Sewer Beast sheds its skin at intervals, like snakes, when it grows. Though it has a serpentine-like body, the creature has six lizard-like legs with long, sharp claws; the tail is also dangerous, being a powerful part. The red eyes are described to have a milky look and are covered by transparent eyelids. The curving teeth are venomous and plentiful; the tongue is forked and a blackish-blue colour.

### Breeding

The breeding season of the Nevermoor Scaly Sewer Beast is a short annual event but results in hundreds of babies being born into the sewer system. It is unknown if babies come from eggs or are the result of a livebirth. It only takes a matter of months before the Scaly Sewer Beast is full grown, though they may not reach maturation until later.

### Other

The Scaly Sewer Beast is most active during dusk. Loud noises, such as fireworks, can scare the beasts causing them to retreat further into the sewers. This makes them difficult to find during breeding season.

## Behind the Scenes

* Before entering the sewer for the Fright Trial, Hawthorne Swift says his mom will be really cross if he gets torn to shreds by the Nevermoor Scaly Sewer Beast.
* The Wundrous Society Beastly Division takes care of the Breeding season in Nevermoor (with the help of volunteers) in what is called a sewerfest. The team traps, tags, and relocates the babies outside of the city to make sure the sewer does not become overrun with the beast. It usually takes the team around two or three hours to complete the job.
	+ The Public Distraction Department keeps the public away from breeding ground hotspots during the sewerfest as well as distracted from needing to use the Wunderground trains and bathrooms as the train and sewer systems are shutdown.

The Hunt of Smoke and Shadow

"*Quite frightening, I agree. Some of my best work. They are the perfect murder machine—ruthless, unfeeling. Unstoppable. Believe me, Miss Crow, if I had ordered them to kill you, you would not have lived past Eventide. You would be nothing but a pile of ash. The order I gave was not to kill. It was to herd.*"
―Ezra Squall[src]
**The Hunt of Smoke and Shadow** is a cavalry of men, horses, and hounds that was created, essentially, from smoke and shadows. The hunt is real enough to be physically present and grab hold of objects and people.

## History

The Hunt was created by Ezra Squall and is one of his most useful weapons. Around the time of the Courage Square Massacre Ezra Squall created many monsters, perhaps also including Slinghouls, Vools, Scaly Sewer Beasts, and Bonesmen. Eventually, the Hunt turned out to be his most useful monsters and Ezra Squall used then in the Republic to hunt down cursed children.

## Purpose

The Hunt was created by Ezra Squall to be his army. After Morrigan Crow starts living in the Free State, they are sometimes used for more benign purposes, but they always retain their menace.

## Physical Appearance

"*They were darkness - a pure absence of light.*"
―Seeing the Hunt[src]The Hunt looks dark and sinister, with red glowing eyes and shadowy, swirling smoke-like bodies. They stink of wood smoke.

Vool

**Vool** are human-sized, vulturelike creatures that are able to shapeshift (or at the least mimic) other creatures, such as humans. Their form is hunched and they have a haunted look to them, as well as having hook-like talons. Vool are under Wundrous Society regulations and management to keep them from threatening Nevermoorian civilians, as the creatures can be vicious. It took over fifty years for the society to slow the Vool population down and to make their behaviors more manageable; the Vool are considered one of the society's greatest successes.

Tricksy Lane

"*Awfully inconvenient and occasionally quite frightening, but* mostly *harmless, if you know what you're doing.*"
―Henry Mildmay[src]A **Tricksy Lane** is a Geographical Oddity unique to Nevermoor; they are streets, alleys, or walkways that transform when you venture down them. These are very unstable and can change over time. While some are harmless, others can be painful while others still are extremely dangerous, so it is recommended to avoid them. Without any real purpose they are classified in the "absurd" category.

## Threat Level

At each known passage entry its level of danger is indicated on a sign. However, over time, a Tricksy Lane can change in nature, and move from one level of danger to another without warning.

* **Pink Alert:** Nuisance-Level Trickery Presenting Significant Inconvenience on Entry
* **Red Alert:** High-Danger Trickery and Likelihood of damage to person on Entry
* **Black Alert:** Death on Entry

When a Black Alert passage is discovered, the Tricksy Lane is directly walled up; it is a hopeless passage, which does not have the capacity to become harmless again as well as to reduce accidental deaths.

## Geographic Oddities Squadron

In order to avoid mishaps, the Geographic Oddities Squadron works with the Nevermoor Council to do their utmost to map all the mischievous passages they find, though this can be a difficult task as some Tricksy Lanes move about.

Once a Tricksy Lane has been reported in gets a warning sign similar to the following:

```
[PLACE NAME]
BEWARE
By order of the Geographic Oddities Squadron and the Nevermoor Council, this street has been declared a
[ALERT LEVEL]
ENTER AT OWN RISK

```

## Three Step Plan

In his course "Decoding Nevermoor" with Unit 919, Henry Mildmay provides a three step plan for getting out of a Tricksy Lane:

1. Stay calm (breathe in, breathe out)
2. Retreat
3. Tell someone

Fright Trial

"*Welcome to the Fright Trial . . . If you continue, we accept no responsibility for the consequences.*"
―Beginning the Fright Trial[src]The **Fright Trial** is one of the many trials that can be chosen by the elders to act as entrance exams to the Wundrous Society. Each year, there are three random trial for candidates to prove their worth, followed by the Show Trial which is the final test and occurs every year. Other than the name, candidates are given little information beforehand about what to expect about a trial. The Fright Trial is the third trial undertaken in Unit 919's year of entry, after previously being banned two Ages before.

## Overview

The purpose behind the trial showcases the candidates who are brave, daring, and resourceful. It is unknown if the Fright Trial differs each time it is taken. The candidates are told they will get two frights each, "one to be seen and one to believe." The first fright may exhibit the candidates' resourcefulness and daring, especially under pressure, while the second fright displays the candidate's courage in the face of their own deepest personal fear.

## Unit 919

The Fright Trial was the third trial that Unit 919 had to complete. The trial had previously been banned because it was ‘traumatizing’. Jupiter North even called it the ‘Nervous Breakdown Trial’. The trial consisted of two parts, and it began with Morrigan being called down into a manhole, thinking she needed to help an old lady. She is then greeted by Coven Thirteen, who tell her about the trial. She follows a candle into a cemetery which is overrun by zombies. There she meets Hawthorne, and to escape they jump into a grave hole and surface in the Wundrous Society gardens. They meet Cadence, and find a candle which leads the way to the next part of trial. Hawthorne climbs up the apple tree, and Morrigan "jumps" into the pond (she gets pushed by Cadence). She appears in a dark and dingy alleyway where she receives a note saying she has failed, and she gets chased by the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow. She eventually climbs a lamppost to escape them and passes the trial. It is believed that the second part of the trial showcased your deepest fear.
Jackalfax

This article or section needs to be **cleaned up** to conform to a higher standard of quality.See How to Edit for help.

**Jackalfax** is a town located in the state of Great Wolfacre in the Wintersea Republic. Unknown smaller towns or villages may also make up what is referred to as the Greater Jackalfax area.

## History

Jackalfax was founded at least one hundred and fifty years before Spring of One, Ninth Age of the Wintersea Republic, which is when the first neighborhoods were being built.

## Geography

### Neighborhoods

The neighborhoods of Jackalfax are, noted by Morrigan to be, neat, orderly, and normal. Identical brick houses are set in uniform rows upon straight and clean streets. After the construction of the first neighborhoods, all subsequent boroughs were built in an identical style.

## Education

There are three prestigious preparatory schools in Jackalfax: Jackalfax Prep, Mary Henwright Academy, and St. Christopher's School. There are also an unnamed number of public schools, also referred to as charity schools.

Wunderground

The **Wunderground**is an underground railway system beneath the city of Nevermoor. It runs on Wunder and is very efficient. The Wunderground is looked after by the Nevermoor Transportation Authority.

## Overview

The Wunderground is a network of underground rapid transit stations for the purpose of public civilian transport. A journey through the Wunderground starts at any Wunderground station's ticket desk followed by passing through turnstiles where tickets would be collected. A descension through stairwells and tunnels is necessary before reaching a station's platform where a train will collect passengers to transport them throughout tunnels beneath the city to other stations.

### Efficiency

The Wunderground is highly efficient because it is driven by and makes use of Wunder. The use of Wunder also contributes to its nature of being self-propelling and self-maintaining. In fact, the Wunderground had never had a derailment accident until the Spring of One, Third Age of Aristocrats due to the manipulations of Wundersmith, Ezra Squall.

### Wundrous Society

The Wunderground is known to accommodate members of the Wundrous Society with reserved seats.

Also exclusive to the Wundrous Society are private Wunderground stations for junior scholars of the society E.G. Station 919. Units are each provided a single train carriage, a Hometrain, which a designated conductor uses to pick up junior scholars from their platform to deliver them to the society's campus.

Morrigan used the Wunderground to reach the Gossamer Line station.

The Gossamer

This article or section needs to be **cleaned up** to conform to a higher standard of quality.See How to Edit for help.

**The Gossamer** is an invisible web that connects all things. It can be traveled on with the Gossamer Line, and can be seen by Witnesses.

## Overview

The Gossamer is described by Jupiter as a web that carries things like past events, present activities or happenings. Witnesses can see the things that collect on the gossamer, leading them to sense and observe things that are usually invisible.

## Interactions and usage

While witnesses can see the gossamer, or at least things that collect on it, it could also be inferred that Wundersmiths can manipulate the gossamer due to their abilities with Wunder, especially as it is safer for Wundersmiths to use the gossamer line.

### Knack

Wrestler (likely)

**Brutilus Brown** was a bearwun (major), a member of the Wundrous Society, and a decorated wrestler in the Free State; he was also a wrestling coach at the Wundrous Society. Brown was among the first known cases of the Hollowpox epidemic, attacking Heloise Redchurch and Morrigan Crow, the later of which was injured by him.

## Biography

### Early life

Brutilus Brown completed his Trials when he was 11 and joined the Wundrous Society. There he improved his wrestling and won 27 championships. Later, he became a couch.

### Third Age of Aristocrats, Two

He started coaching Thaddea Macleod, who was impressed and was constantly praising him. However, Brutilus was also proud of her and believed that she will win, shown in her battle with Will Gaudy. He was later told that Henry Mildmay was one of the main organizers of The Ghastly Market and that Morrigan Crow was a Wundersmith.

### Third Age of Aristocrats, Three

At some point he was seen by Morrigan explaining Thaddea Macleod where her mistakes were. During Golders Night, Brutilus, now with Hollowpox, tried to attack Heloise Redchurch and Morrigan Crow, injuring the latter's leg. He was later brought to the hospital and started behaving as an ordinary bear when he woke up.

## Physical Appearance

As a bearwun major, Brown almost fully resembles a bear, in this case a grizzly.

## Personality Traits

At this time, Brutilus' personality is largely unknown.

## Abilities and Skills

It can be assumed that Brutilus Brown is skilled at wrestling as he won many championships and became a couch at The Wundrous Society.

## Accomplishments

* Won twenty-seven consecutive Interpocket Wrestling Championships

## Relationships

#### Thaddea MacLeod

Thaddea respects her teacher and at some points wouldn't stop speaking about him. Brutilus in turn believes in her abilities but is willing to show her her mistakes.

## Etymology

The meaning behind the name **Brutilus** is unknown. Similar in form, the name **Brutus** is an ancient Roman cognomen (Roman name form) that means "heavy" in Latin.

**Brown** is an English surname that was originally a nickname for a person who had brown hair or skin. Like many wunimals, the surname typically describes a physical aspect or species of the corresponding unnimal. In this case, Brown would refer to the typical colour of a grizzly's fur coat.

Ghostly Hours

Redirect to:

* Ghostly Hour
**BEWARE!**

By Order of the Geographical Oddities Squadron and the Nevermoor Council,
 This Page Has Been Declared to Contain Possible ***Spoilers***.
**Enter At Own Risk**

"*Isn't that something, Wundersmith?*"
―Conall O'Leary describing Ghostly Hours[src]
A **Ghostly Hour** is a Geographical Oddity that resembles a long streak of light. This streak of light can be stepped through to review echoes of the past. The user cannot affect what is happening inside the Ghostly Hour, only spectate from a distance. While inside a Ghostly Hour the user can observe a past event that occurred at its location. As such, the user can use them to learn more about past events. While stepping through one, the user can feel time "shudder".

Some Ghostly Hours occur annually, but others run perpetually as if on a loop. They don't always run for an hour- some are shorter, some are longer, although finding one that runs for at least a day is very rare.

It is unknown exactly how Ghostly Hours are created, but they must be created by someone with prodigious skill to have the correct hours relive themselves indefinitely. They were supposedly named due to a misconception that they were created by the dead.

Hemingway Onstald recorded many known Ghostly Hours within Wundrous Society campus in a book called "The Book of Ghostly Hours", which belongs to the Sub-Nine Academic Group in the Study Room of Sub-Nine, Proudfoot House.
Map Room

The **Map Room** is a room in Sub-Three of Proudfoot House, Old Town, Nevermoor, that contains a large map of Nevermoor at its center. This map is special in that it is a live representation of what is happening in Nevermoor at that moment. Unit 919 first encounter it during their *Decoding Nevermoor* classes with their instructor Henry Mildmay.

## Location information

### Location

Sub-Three of Proudfoot House, Old Town, Nevermoor

## Appearance

### Interior

The Map Room is cavernous and curved. Its floor, ceiling, and walls are covered with a live, realistic display of Nevermoor and its inhabitants. The ceiling shows stars and constellations above Nevermoor, while the floor displays the city itself, as well as its inhabitants. The map updates in real-time, but there are a few seconds delay in some boroughs, according to cartographer Henry Mildmay. Oceans in the map are wet and salty to the touch.
Morningtide's Child (Nursery Rhyme)

"**Morningtide's Child**" is a nursery rhyme or song.

## Background

The rhyme deals with themes of children born during Morningtide versus Eventide.

When she was six or seven years old, Morrigan Crow was taught this song by Mrs. Duffy—her tutor at the time—and had to sing it every time she disobeyed or did poorly on schoolwork. A few years later in Autumn of Two, Third Age of the Aristocrats, Morrigan chose this song when she was learning to summon Nocturne.

## Lyrics

*Morningtide’s child is merry and mild.
Eventide’s child is wicked and wild.*

*Morningtide’s child arrives with the dawn,
Eventide’s child brings gale and storm.*

*Where are you going, o son of the morning?
Up with the sun where the winds are warming.*

*Where are you going, o daughter of night?
Deep down below where the pale things bite.*

## Origins

The rhyme's origins are uncertain. A possible hypothesis is that it was created in the Wintersea Republic sometime after people began to believe in the darker side of the Eventide curse.

Alioth Saga

"*There stood the three esteemed members of the Wunsoc's High Council of Elders . . . Elder Alioth Saga—who was, in fact, a large talking bull.*"
―Meeting the Elders at the Inauguration Ceremony[src]**Alioth Saga** is a bullwun (Wunimal Major) and one of the three members of the Wundrous Society's High Council of Elders.

## Physical Appearance

Elder Saga looks like a bull and has a booming voice. He has enormous horns and a broad shaggy chest and a waistcoat.

## Personality and Traits

"*It’s not an unreasonable question*"
―Elder Saga, in response to Morrigan questioning WunSoc culture[src]
Elder Saga is inclided to stamp his hooves and uses his trademark unwavering gaze to get silence. Perhaps because his hooves make such an impression, he can seem to overreact when people keep pushing, such as when Hester Fitzwilliam riled him up or when Laurent St. James' crowd encircled him.

## Etymology

**Alioth** is Arabic, coming from the word *alyat* "fat tail of a sheep." More commonly, this is the traditional name of the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Major. It is the first star in the tail, closest to the body. The star was also historically used in Maritime travel.

Golders Night

**Golders Night,** also known as Golders', is a scavenger-hunt-like event that takes place in Nevermoor. The event is organised by the Wundrous Society, almost always as part of a distraction from the containment of an unknown threat. Each participating citizen is given unique clues and maps to follow around the city, often to areas away from the chaos. There are one hundred favours from the Wundrous Society to be found as prizes.

## History

At the suggestion of Jupiter North, the event was used as a distraction in *Hollowpox* following the breeding season of the Nevermoor Scaly Sewer Beast. Though disliked by the Wundrous Society treasury, the Elders agreed to the idea. Golders Night was organised and marketed by Holliday Wu's Public Distraction Department and run by the society as a whole. Morrigan Crow was stationed in a 'grey zone' outside Tenterfield Station with Heloise Redchurch.
