Hieronymus Grace

Hieronymus Grace (he/him) is a supporting character.

Hieronymus is a dolphin Selkie who was, at one point, in one of Five Points' foremost positions of enviable power as the head dean of P&B U. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a scandal when a party at his home in East Bank got out of control, resulting in a endless torrent of water pouring down the hill from his magic pool. Hieronymus protested that he wasn't home and neither approved of nor was aware of the event. However, he was still removed from his position.

He currently resides with his on-again off-again partner, Dizzy B. in the Sea-Side dive bar, the Salty Seaman. He drinks a lot and morosely ponders what to do with himself.

Hieronymus is the father of Tiny Tot, who he worries about a great deal.
Humans

A wide-spread and diverse people. Humans live in many communities across the planet and integrate into almost every community they come across. By themselves, groups of humans tend to be very mobile, with a great propensity for travel and exploration. Humans are known for being "extremely social," attempting to befriend everyone they meet. These two traits lead them to be excellent traders and diplomats.

Humans are relatively short-lived and greatly concerned with their own mortality. A common outcome of this is that they dedicate themselves to a specific purpose, pursuing their goals with intense passion. They can approach these goals with boundless creativity and determination. This can sometimes be seen as short-sighted and frivolous by more long-lived peoples.

Humans typically celebrate the Holidays by hanging a wreath on their door and offering hospitality to friends and strangers.

He lives in his old ship, which is suspended above the shop by a crane.

Dr. Hobbs frequents his shop for potion ingredients.

Theo spends a great deal of time drinking in the Salty Seaman. He jokes that a sailor's main occupations are sailing and drinking and he only retired from one. Regardless of his condition, Dizzy B. ensures he makes it home safe every night.

When Gilly needed to go fishing for lobsterpus off Deadrock Point, Theo was convinced to bring down his home and set sail again. He enjoyed it, even if it was a very short voyage.

Pooka

Pooka are short, subterranian people. They have large, long ears, elongated incisors, and long rat-like tails. They have a superior sense of smell which compensates for their weak eyesight but many Pooka wear eyeglasses anyway.

Pooka have a natural curiosity that leads them to become inquisitive reearchers and clever tinkerers. They are known to construct elaborate mechanical and magical devices to solve simple problems just for the fun of it.

Pooka remained hidden in their own undeground world for a long time but recently emerged and began exploring surface society. While the number of Pooka that first came to the surface was small, they reproduce rapidly and their surface population is growing quickly.

Pooka, traditionally, have funerals that are private, informal, and celebratory.

Deadrock Point

This location refers to an area of cliffs not far from the Howling Hotel. Its most notable feature is the ruins of an old lighthouse overlooking the sea.

Huzmeal Minegut was fond of camping among the ruins for the solitude it afforded him. He once traveled out to them to bury an ornate dagger while in a depressed emotional state after drinking a sabotaged potion. He was followed and observed by Erwin and Yersynia. He was also found hiding out at the ruins by Gilly, Frost-Wing, and Bugsy when Bersek Ashbane was looking for him at the hotel.

Gilly led a fishing trip to the waters surrounding Deadrock Point to catch lobsterpus for Mayor Diddy Wink's Undetoe Unvitational Cooking Contest. While there Frost-Wing collected prism trout scales for a special liquor he was brewing and Dr. Hobbs found a treasure chest. They also encountered the crew of the Mermaid's Insaniity while there, led by ship's cook Valiish, also hunting for lobsterpus for the contest by dropping explosives into the water.
Sea-Side

This place is a neighborhood of Five Points containing the city's port. Much of the neighborhood is filled with warehouses dedicated to the storage of goods coming and going through the port. It is governed by a merchants guild composed of the larger businesses that operate here. It is also known for being the most dangerous neighborhood, with active crime organizations lurking in the shadows.

The Mermaid's Insanity was a trading vessel. For a long time, it remained anchored in the port and acts as the base for the Guild-appointed port authority. Bette Porter lives aboard the ship and was tasked with keeping the peace in the neighborhood, though lasting injuries from a battle with The Splinter made that more difficult. Valiish is a the ship's cook. Other crew members include Polly (who has a parrot) and her identical twin sister Polly (who also has a parrot), Nancy, Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, and Peggy. Recently, with Bette unable to keep up her duties as the neighborhood protector, the ship has returned to the business of merchant trading. Without any sort of authority enforcing the peace, the criminal elements of the neighborhood are running a muck.

The Salty Seaman is the dirtiest most dangerous bar in Sea-Side and, indeed, in all of Five Points. Anything you can't find in the city's more reputable markets, you can acquire through someone you meet in the Salty Seaman. Dizzy B. is a bar tender there. Cpt. Theo is a frequent customer. Zumnan stayed in the back room before being hired by Dr. Hobbs to help Gilly at the Howling Hotel. Hieronymus Grace has lived here since losing his position as High Dean.

The Sore Snail Pub has been in direct competition with the Salty Seaman for a long time but always seems to be the second choice.

Cap'n Theo's Botanicals is a shop near the waterfront selling all manner of herbs and spices. It was opened by Cpt. Theo after he retired from the sea. His old boat is suspended from arms above the shop and is Cpt. Theo's living quarters. The shop is frequented by Dr. Hobbs, who purchases potion ingredients there, avoiding P&B U prices.

There are secret tunnels running under Sea-Side to the rest of the city. Gryphon Lucius XXVII uses them to smuggle good to the Beta Gamma Epsilon Fraternity, avoiding import bureaucracy. The Splinter is known to inhabit the tunnels, making their use extremely hazardous.

Yafut Icebelt runs a glazier's workshop.

The Thunder Crows are a gang operating in Sea Side. They take in street urchins and use them at a young age to achieve their ends. They've become bolder since the Mermaid's Insanity left.

Ivara and her weasel Fitzroy grew up on the streets of Sea-Side.
Minnow (Fish)

If this is not the minnow you're looking for, try the disambiguation page.

This creature is a small, silvery fish that schools in shallow waters.

It is not commonly eaten by people but fishermen sometimes use traps to catch them to use as bait for larger fish.

It is found in the waters of Deadrock Point.
Planet of the Dead

***Planet of the Dead***, the *Army of the Dead* sequel, has been confirmed to begin production after Zack Snyder's *Rebel Moon*, the latter of which wrapped filming in November 2022.

Dire Ram

This creature is a large, muscular breed of sheep. Males and females are much more massive than normal sheep and have heavy, curling horns. Some may sport as many as 6 pairs of horns.

Despite the typical connotation of "Dire", dire rams are not much more violent than their more typical counterparts. They can be loving companion animals when raised by kind people. They are, however, protective and territorial so care should be taken around unknown Dire Rams.

Gilly once killed a dire ram at the Howling Hotel with their bear hands. When the guest who owned the dire ram returned and discovered their pet missing, Frosty got the guest drunk and spent a night disguised in the animals pelt to appease her.
"Frosty" Frost-Wing

A main character in the world of Five Points.

Frost-Wing (he/him) is a Mandrake currently employed as a bartender at the Howling Hotel. He is tall and muscular with deep blue scales and ice blue wing feathers. He can breath an ice blast, which he is fond of using for bartending tricks. His friends call him Frosty.

Frost-Wing, after a long service as a soldier, felt that his endless life needed a new calling and took up bartending as a way of creating relationships instead of ending them. He made a deal with the Serpent to gain the skills to pursue this new life, in exchange making a vow of nonviolence. His comrades did not understand his decision and he avoids other Mandrakes.

Frost-wing, along with LePure, was employed for a time by Dr. Euclid Hobbs. In addition to his bartending skills, his size and strength was used in the transportation and construction of temporary buildings. He believes he was never fairly compensated for his efforts.

While the Traveling Spa and Resort was across the street from the Howling Hotel, Frost-Wing was poached by Dr. Archimedes Hobbs. He never read his employment contract. His room at the hotel is on the top floor, where the pitched ceiling provides him with enough room to move comfortably. He has a still up there and a balcony that makes a handy place to fly from.

He loves the bar that the hotel has in the dining room he shares with Gilly. The two are building a close relationship, despite the fact that he dropped them from the sky onto a diplomatic envoy from the Vaul-kin Empire, breaking their leg. This could have been recompense for the night he had to spend disguised as a Dire Ram to placate a guest whose pet Gilly had killed.

Bugsy believes that he is Frost-Wing's best friend and that he'll become an apprentice bartender as soon as Dr. Hobbs actually hires him. Bugsy even came up with a cocktail to celebrate their friendship, the Frost Bug. Frost-Wing can't stand the overly enthusiastic Pooka.

* Cocktail List
Dr. Euclid Hobbes

Dr. Euclid Hobbs (he/him) is a supporting character.

Euclid is a Panguri and a bit of a shady business owner. He is forever searching for quick paths to easy money and freedom.

He is the father of Dr. Archimedes Hobbs and lived, for a time, at the Howling Hotel. One day he felt restless and simply up and left. Unlike his son, Euclid never completed any formal schooling; his honorific of doctor is self-awarded.

He is the owner of Doc Hobbs' Fantastic Traveling Spa and Resort, a mobile and migratory facility that allows him to offer accommodations and entertainment wherever the road might take him. Once it took him to the empty land across the street from his son's hotel, putting the two in direct competition. Archimedes poached his employees, including Frost-Wing, LePure and many more Pooka, while he was away and then sabotaged his tents, effectively driving the man away.
Riding Bear

This creature is a favorite domesticated animal of the Dwarves. Although regal and intimidating, it is actually smaller than its wild counterpoint. A riding bear of excellent parentage is an important status symbol in dwarven society.

Armored bears are used a cavalry troops in dwarven armies.

Prince Huzmeal brought his favorite bear, Orik with him when he fled the Vaul-kin Empire.
The Lake Below

This place is a lake in a cavern deep below the Howling Hotel.

While digging under Doc Hobbs' Fantastic Traveling Spa and Resort, in an attempt to sabotage their ex-boss' establishment, the warren of Pooka employed by the hotel accidentally set off a sink hole, plunging them all into the lake.

LePure, Thorn, Bong Hoy, Martha, Gullian, Orson, and others had a long journey as they made their way back up to the surface world. The faced noxious gas in a forgotten dungeon, a buried sailing ship being used as a lair by The Splinter, the mummified bodies at the bottom of bog that had long since dried up, and finally a lava flow.

The Lake and surrounding caverns were rebuilt into a luxurious subterranean resort by Jordan Rivers, Daemos, and Marley Fray.
Azeda

Azeda is a small community between the Howling Hotel and Five Points. It was once a proper village but now not much remains aside from the square and a single restaurant.

The Sour Goddess is a restaurant built in an old shrine. It's run by Trillani and a bunch of gnomes. They host a monthly food fight night.

There's a market set up by local farmers every week.

Occasionally the Pig Man hangs out here, playing with children and challenging people to catch him.
Minnow (Gnome)

If this is not the minnow you're looking for, try the disambiguation page.

Minnow (he/him) is a supporting character in Five Points.

Minnow in a gnome who stayed at the Howling Hotel once. He looked very nervous as he checked in. He was discovered to be a deranged and dangerous druid who had stolen a magical staff from P&B U by Chelit, who he attempted to kill. When captured in the woods behind the hotel, he was bowled over by the Pig Man and Gilly before being attacked by Ivara's riding wolves. Zumnan saved him before he was killed. The staff was never recovered.
Carrier Pigeon

This creature is a gentle bird. They have limited intelligence but can be trained to fly to specific locations and find their way home. They are frequently used to carry messages around Five Points.

Dr. Archimedes Hobbs kept a flock of Carrier Pigeons to distribute the daily password for his secret potion speakeasy at the Howling Hotel until they were replaced by Teeka and his tribe of Pixies.
Iron Turtle

This creature is a large marine reptile. It has a heavy shell with high iron content, lend a rusty color to its appearance. Too heavy to swim, they take a big breath on the shore and then walk along the sea floor, holding their breath for weeks.

Iron Turtles can grow quite old and are thought to be as wise as an animal can get. They are known to make bargains with fishermen who let them go, luring other fish to their hooks.

Some iron turtles are hunted for their shells, which make durable shields.

Found in the waters off Deadrock Point.
Obelisk

Obelisk (it/its) is a supporting character.

Obelisk is a large magical construct that resides in P&B U in Five Points. It does not talk and its sentience is a subject of frequent and heated debate among the school's scholars. Obelisk was animated by Gryphon Lucius shortly after the schools founding.

Obelisk is charged with maintaining order at the school and in the surrounding neighborhood. It ensures that everyone within its territory adheres to the rules laid forth by the school's deans. It drags rule-breakers back to Punishment Square where they are dealt with in a strict but fair manner. Metering out punishment seems to fuel the thing.
Pearl and Beard University

This place is the neighborhood surrounding the magic school in Five Points.

The school itself is a large, castle-like complex of towers at the northern tip of the island. The school accepts anyone who can pay the tuition and allows students to attend which ever classes and as many classes as they like. Broomhilda, the weather witch, lives in one of the tallest. Husker Du is charged with maintaining the grounds.

Punishment Square is one of the courtyards in the school complex. It is home to Obelisk, a large crystalline automaton charged with maintaining order and peace in the neighborhood. Bringing those who break the school's rules to justice fuels the construct through some arcane means. Learning the complex rules and bylaws of the school is usually the first goal of new students and Punishment Square is typically avoided by most.

The Beta Gamma Epsilon Fraternity is an expensive looking house that needs more upkeep than its occupants give it. It houses a brotherhood of students coming from powerful families while they attend school. In addition to its members, it also houses a staff of tutors who aid the students. It is also involved in a smuggling operation bringing valuable goods into the city through secret tunnels. Gryphon Lucius XXVII is a current member, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Gryphon Lucius XXV.

The 10,000 Spiders Pub is a charmingly eccentric place where academics love to hang out.

The High Dean of P&B U lives in a lovely abode in East Bank. Hieronymus Grace was the High Dead of P&B U for a long time before he was ejected from his position. Currently the position is unfilled, with the school's board of donors making the day-to-day administrative decisions.

Graduates of P&B U include Tugar the Wise.
Dwarven Boar

This creature was originally domesticated by the Dwarves as a working animal. Their keen sense of smell make them excellent trackers and they are often employed by hunters. Older boars that have grown to large and slow for tracking are used as beasts of burden.

More recently, smaller breeds have become popular as companion animals. It is said that a loyal boar is as good as a mother for dwarven children.

Bersek Ashbane used a a sounder of boars to track Prince Huzmeal through the forests near the Howling Hotel.
Dwarves

Dwarves are stocky people from mountainous lands that have a long and proud history of mining. They have short, muscular bodies and their eyes are reflective, like a cats. Most traditional Dwarven men take pride in their long braded beards while women grow thick sideburns.

Their culture is built on a foundation of stone and flame that lends traits of strength they try to emulate in all aspects of life. Dwarven society is marked by a ridged code of honor and strict, complicated laws. They are famous for their craftsmanship in metalsmithing, masonry, and gem-cutting. They love alcohol of all kinds and their food tends to be hard enough to be difficult for other people to chew.

Most Dwarves hold family reunions during the Holidays to honor their elders.

Gryphon Lucius XXV

Gryphon Lucius XXV is a supporting character.

Gryphon Lucius XXV is a Human and the descendant of Gryphon Lucius, one of the founders of Five Points and P&B U. He enjoys power, wealth, and connections unparalleled in the city. Very little happens in Five Points that doesn't benefit him in some way. Fittingly, his home in East Bank commands an impressive view of the city.

Gryphon Lucius XXVII is his grandson and the next heir to the Lucius fortune. The two don't get along but remain publicly civil.

He is suspected of funneling smuggled goods through Sea-Side's secret tunnels and the Beta Gamma Epsilon fraternity house to bypass a strike of the dock workers. This seems to have ended when one of his merchant ships exploded and sunk into Undertoe.

At the Undertoe Unvitational Cooking Contest, Dr. Archimedes won Lucius' racing sea horses and the title to Cap'n Theo's Botanicals during some poorly advised bets.
Undertoe Unvitational Cooking Contest

Mayor Diddy Wink organized this event to entertain himself.

One chef from each neighborhood in Five Points, plus a few more from outside the city. This included Umilmolydd Broadgrog, Gilly, Walter, Valiish, Magnolia Cutespice, Kit Kaboodle, and a box.

The contest was hosted in the Founder's Palace in Undertoe. This was convenient for the mayor, as he could watch without leaving his home, and for the chefs, as the air-filled building made many traditional cooking practices easier. The aim was for the chefs to create dishes using the mayor's favorite food, lobsterpus. The chef with the best dishes would win, choosing either 10,000 gold coins or a giant sea egg as their prize.

The first event, since the mayor can't make anything easy, was for the chefs to search for ingredients which had been hidden all around Undertoe. They were granted an unlimited supply of lobsterpus but any other ingredients had to be found.

Following that, the chefs were tasked with using their ingredients to create 3 dishes, a main course, a beverage, and a dessert. Every dish had to incorporate the lobsterpus in some fashion. Dishes were then tasted by a panel of judges and awarded points.

While this was going on, other, non-competing guests, were encouraged to bet on a sea horse race, managed by Nissa. The small, oddly shaped fish were not swift racers but gambling can make anything exciting. Dr. Hobbs won enough in the races to earn a seat at the judge's table with Gordon Lamprey, Polar Deen, and a very big octopus on the panel of judges. He used his seat to award Gilly full points for all of her dishes, even when they clearly failed.

As a result of their boss's brazen bias, Gilly won the competition handily, choosing the mysterious sea egg as their prize.
Huzmeal Minegut

Huzmeal (he/him) is a supporting character.

He is a dwarf and, currently, the king of the Vaul-kin Empire.

Before ascending the throne, his father, the previous king, was ill. Huzmeal fled his country with his bear Orik and hid at the Howling Hotel. While there, he grew very comfortable and became friendly with Dr. Hobbs, Gilly, Yersynia, Erwin, and Frost-Wing. At one point, in a maudlin mood, he was found burying an ornamental dagger at the ruins of Deadrock Point. Some time later Grand Wazir Bersek found him and escorted him back home.
Mandrakes

Mandrakes are an artificial people, created by fusing ancient dragons with other peoples to produce legendary warriors. They are very tall and very strong. They have dragon-like heads, bodies covered with scales, long reptilian tails, and feathered wings sprouting from their shoulder blades. Some posses a breath weapon of various kinds.

The unnatural nature of Mandrakes means that they are unable to reproduce like other peoples. Furthermore, the secrets to their creation have long since been lost, eliminating the possibility of new Mandrakes. Fortunately, Mandrakes have seemingly infinitely long lives and are very difficult to to kill violently.

Most Mandrakes are still find themselves employed as mercenary soldiers, hired by kings for their armies.

Mandrakes pay homage to The Serpent during the Holidays to celebrate rebirth and new beginnings.

Mandrake Characters:

* "Frosty" Frost-Wing
* Grogmoth
* Shaya
* Tobias
Broomhilda

Broomhilda (she/her) is a supporting character in Five Points.

Broomhilda is a Human and a professor at P&B U. Her specialty is as a weather witch but that's not what she teaches. In fact, it's hard to say that she teaches anything. Most students get lost in the fog or driven off by torrential rain course before they make it to her classes. The dedicated few that make it are greeted with a nice cup of tea and have a lovely chat by the fireside.

Broomhilda is in a relationship with Husker Du.

Dr. Hobbs is a good friend of Broomhilda. He goes to her for advice and borrows books from the college's libraries through her. She gifted him a large weather vein in the shape of a rooster that always points toward the sun when she attended his last Pleasure Feast during the Holidays.

Lord Osmond of Sudenglen

Retribution - Tyrants must be rooted out and destroyed

I am utterly serene even in the face of disaster

My isolation gave me great insight into a great evil that only I can destroy

My loyalty to Igna the Pure is unwavering.

### Interaction

I often get lost in my own thoughts and contemplation, becoming oblivious to my surroundings

### Talent

Carries a rare Longsword

Lord Osmond can focus on individuals and hit them more often.

### Flaw

Once I pick a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of everything else in my life.

I would risk too much to see that evil is destroyed in this world.
Night Market

The Night Market is an event that occurs in the streets of Five Points (and, presumably, other cities) at random intervals.

The streets fill with stalls, stands, and booths lit with colorful lanterns. Banners and bunting crisscross overhead. No one sees these being set up or taken down; they're just suddenly there until, at dawn, they're not.

Goods and services of all kinds can be found at the market. Instead of exchanging coins or bartering goods, the merchants of the market have their own special currency. From their customers they collect memories, first loves, ideas, ambitions, regrets, and the like.

Dr. Archimedes Hobbs traded away his first love, a sense of abandonment by his father, and a foundational memory that taught him perseverance in exchange for the entire stock of a firbolg selling fine blankets and rugs. He needed these so Ivara could help Griffon recover from pneumonia.

Racing Sea Horse

Racing Sea Horse are creatures that are kept mostly to facilitate gambling. They are particularly popular in the Undertoe neighborhood of Five Points. Sea horses with good lineage are very expensive and only owned by the very rich, like Gryphon Lucius XXV.

Ivara proved to be a talented sea horse groom at the Undertoe Unvitational Cooking Contest. The races there were managed by Nissa, employee of Polar Deen's gaming company and involved sea horses such as Ocean Cookie, The Typist, Egyptian President, Peace General, and Tacoma Tons. With Ivara's help, Dr. Archimedes Hobbs did very well betting on the races, winning, among other things, Gryphon Lucius XXV's sea horses!

The Howling Hotel had a sea horse racing tank in their game room.
Goblins

Goblins are a small and somewhat animalistic people that live in the wilds around Five Points. They don't build permanent settlements of their own and rarely enter the crowded streets of Five Points.

Goblins are frequently accompanied by riding wolves, much to the distress of other people nearby.

These creatures combine traits of horses and birds. They are swift runners and powerful flyers. They can be domesticated but are prideful and stubborn, always retaining a dangerous wild streak.

Baldren Brightreach

An inactive main character in the world of Five Points.

Baldren (he/him) is a Dwarf who works in Five Points. Like many dwarves, he has skill in construction (particularly carpentry) but his true gift is working with numbers and an accountant.

He was once hired by Dr. Archimedes Hobbs to repair the Howling Hotel after it was badly damaged in a storm. Part way through the job, he took it upon himself to sabotage, in an attempt to impress his boss, the Traveling Spa and Resort that Dr. Euclid Hobbs had erected across the street from the hotel. He cut a central cable causing all of the surrounding tents to collapse. Though he escaped without notice, he got nervous and fled.
Ivara

Ivara (she/her) is a main character in the world of Five Points.

She is a human who grew up in the streets and alleys of Sea-Side. She was born with the innate ability to talk to animals. She, along with her trusty per weasel, Fitzroy, became pickpockets and petty thieves.

Seeking a way out of the dangerous underbelly of the city, she convinced Dr. Archimedes Hobbs to hire her as a beast-handler at the Howling Hotel. She was appalled to discover that the hotel's stable and kennels were in a terrible state of disrepair and many of the animals were in rough shape.

At the Undertoe Unvitational Cooking Contest, Ivara volunteered as a temporary sea horse groom. She proved to be quite good at it.

Dr. Archimedes Hobbes

One of the main characters in the world of Five Points.

Dr. Hobbes (he/him) is a Panguri man with an orange coat. He takes a great deal of pride in his appearance and is almost always dressed in a three piece suit with a bowtie and a monocle (and a top hat, when he's outdoors). He takes his breakfast with tea and is very fond of fresh fish.

He is the current owner of The Howling Hotel, having inherited it from his mother. He grew up on the hotel grounds. As an employer, Dr. Hobbes is rather hands-off, preferring to remain at he front desk where he putters about polishing things. He avoids manual labor when at all possible but is capable of making a bed from time to time.

Dr. Hobbes has a bumpy relationship with his father, Dr. Euclid Hobbes, who left him to travel when Archimedes was young. More recently, Euclid erected his Fantastic Traveling Spa and Resort across the road from the Howling Hotel, putting them in direct competition for some important guests. Archimedes sabotaged his father's establishment, driving him off.

His room at the hotel is dark and cozy. It is filled with plants that, somehow, seem to thrive in the dim light. He has a large desk that is piled high with papers and books concerning various things he's researching but it, like the rest of the room, is very organized and meticulously clean.

Dr. Hobbes practices magical mixology and operates a secret potion speakeasy under the hotel's front desk. Guests who have the proper password can purchase potions, elixirs, and salves of various kinds. Most of his potion ingredients are purchased from his close friend, Cpt. Theo. He also expanded his magical knowledge with some skills in folk magic spellcraft.

Dr. Hobbes made a bargain with Teeka and the rest of the Windymint tribe of pixies. They live in the thatched roof of the hotel and deliver the daily password to eligible members of Dr. Hobbes' potion speakeasy. In exchange Dr. Hobbes has promised to build a portal to the fey realm. So far, he has not made any efforts toward this goal. Prior to the Pixies' arrival, speakeasy passwords were delivered by carrier pigeon, all of which disappeared after being replaced. It is possible that Dr. Hobbes ate them.

He is friends with many locals, including Bugsy and Broomhilda. He has a romantic relationship, of a poorly defined Panguri kind, with Katsu. He is the employer of Zumnan, Gilly, Ivara, Nissa, Frost-Wing, LePure, Bong Hoy, Martha, Thorn, and Gullian. He was the employer of Erwin, Yersynia, and Baldren Brightreach, though their current status is unNissan,

At the Undertoe Unvitational Cooking Contest, Archimedes did very well betting on sea horse races. He won 3 sea horses and the deed to Cpt. Theo's Herb Shop off Gryphon Lucius XXV as well as a seat as a judge, which he used to secure a win for Gilly.
Polar Bearfolk

Polar Bearfolk look like polar bears but stand upright and have hands and feet like humans.

Historically, Polar Bearfolk were aggressive hunters, particularly of Selkies. They have since modified that tradion and no longer eat sentient people. They still prodominently live in nomadic tribes and are viewed as uncivilized by many.

Polar bearfolk celebrate their new found respect for selkies as sentient people by joing them in a polar plunge during the Holidays.

Pufferfish

The creature is a poisonous fish. When it feels threatened, it inflates its body and stiffens the spines that cover it. Even uninflated, its round body and small fins make it a very poor swimmer.

It is found in the waters off Deadrock Point.
