Bill Cullen

**William Lawrence Francis "Bill" Cullen** (February 18, 1920 – July 7, 1990) was an American radio and television personality whose career spanned five decades. He was best known for television game shows, where he hosted multiple series (including the original version of *The Price is Right*, *The $25,000 Pyramid*, and *Blockbusters*), and served as a panelist for over twenty years combined on *I've Got a Secret* and *To Tell the Truth*.

His career in American game shows is unmatched by anyone.
Abyss

Abyss is one of the twin realms, and is the magical counterpart to Exig. It was originally identical, however the presence of magic greatly altered the course of evolution as well as many other factors. For example, sentient beings evolved much earlier. Abyss is physically the same size as Exig, and its features are often similar. Since the King left, Abyss has been in a perpetual twilight.

Abyss overlaps Exig, existing in the same space and time, but with an invulnerable barrier often called the 'Veil' separating the worlds. Shards and Nobles can push through this barrier, but cannot pierce it. This is called 'Fade-walking'.

At one point, Abyss had an Abyssian King, but he left mysteriously over 15,000 years ago. This caused chaos for millenia, and Abyss hasn't been united since. Most abyssians refuse to crown one of the princes King, seemingly against their nature, and the princes decided to 'unite' them by force.
Tom Kennedy

**Tom Kennedy** (born **James Edward Narz** on February 26, 1927 in Louisville, Kentucky) is a television game show host who had his greatest fame in the 1960s and 1970s. He is the younger brother of the late television host Jack Narz and the brother-in-law of the late Bill Cullen, and changed his name to avoid confusion prior to hosting his first national show, *The Big Game*, in 1958.
Reapers

Reapers are half-living, half-dead beings who used to be souls of the dead but are now fated to wander between the mirrored worlds of Abyss and Exig and guide souls of the dead to their final resting place in the afterlife, where they will slumber sweetly for all eternity.

Many Exigians consider their existence as a meer myth as very few living from there has ever seen one and had been able to recognize it. However, Abyssans don't consider them a myth as they knew about Reapers for a long time due to them originating from the Abyss, but just like in Exig, very few living have seen one.

They appear differently to Abyssan and Exigian residents than they do to their own kind as those from Exig or Abyss view Reapers as how they desire to see them rather than how they truly appear. In their true form, all Reapers have horns of many shapes and sizes, from simple curvy horns to horns facing back like a masquerade mask. Many long, thin, colorful tendrils form their long, wispy, mane-like hair that flows freely behind their heads. Their skin is oftentimes colorless, ranging from various shades of light and dark grays to very rarely black or white. Their pupiless eyes have sclera is that of a dark grey or black color while their shiny, misty looking slit-like oval shaped iris' range greatly in color. Most Reapers tend to possess traits relating to their past life, such as behaviors, style of dress, or genetic traits.

As a general rule, typical Reapers dress in mostly long drapey robes and dresses that covers every inch of their body below their neck while higher ranked Reapers are overly embellished and decorated. They also carry with them an embellished dual pendulum axe used for killing and gathering souls when the time comes.

Card Sharks Wiki

## Welcome to the Card Sharks Wiki

Ace is high, deuce is low, call it right, and win the dough. Eights make you cry, aces make you shout, what television game show are we describing? You'll soon find out... this iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss THE CARD SHARKS WIKI!

Yes, friends, this is the wiki all about the classic Goodson-Todman/Goodson TV game show *Card Sharks*. *Card Sharks* made its debut on NBC on April 24, 1978 with future *Sale of the Century (1983 version)* host Jim Perry as the host of the show. His version lasted until October 23, 1981. But around five years later, the show returned to the airwaves, this time on CBS with *Newlywed Game* host Bob Eubanks taking the helm. The CBS version lasted until March 31, 1989 and it even spawned a nighttime syndicated version which premiered on September 8, 1986 and lasted until June 5, 1987 with *Real People* host Bill Rafferty taking charge. Fourteen years later, on September 17, 2001, a new daily syndicated version aired with Pat Bullard taking over the helm with drastic changes that were completely different from the 70s and 80s versions. This lasted until January 11, 2002. But seventeen years later, the show is back again this time on ABC with Joel McHale and reverting back to its original format from the 70s and the 80s. This version premiered on June 12, 2019 and lasted until July 7, 2021 after being on the air for no longer than two seasons in total.

There was also a version of *Card Sharks* that aired as part of *Gameshow Marathon* on CBS in 2006 hosted by former talk show host Ricki Lake where it was a mixture of both the 70s and 80s formats.

It's the show where two contestants face-off in a game of five-card Hi-Lo (ten in the first and seven in the second seasons of the 2019 version respectively) with crazy survey questions (except the 2001 version where video clips were replaced instead) for the right to win thousands of dollars in cash (and later on, a brand new car). That's why they say, "It's the only game show on television where you can win a fortune on a turn of a single card."

Lacey Pemberton

**Lacey Ann Pemberton** (born March 16, 1956 in Chicago, IL) is a former American Model & Actress and a reality show casting director.

Lacey was a successful top model in the early 1980s as her gorgeous looks and pictorials possibly landed her a job where she became even more popular than ever before: one of the two Card Dealers on the new CBS Daytime version of *Card Sharks* hosted by Bob Eubanks (1986-1989) and the syndicated, nighttime version hosted by Bill Rafferty (1986-1987).

Lacey's first game show appearance was in 1984 as a celebrity player during the "Battle of the Hollywood Models" week on *Family Feud* when Richard Dawson was host.

In the summer of 1988, Lacey temporarily left series after announcing she and her husband were expecting a child. She gave birth to a baby boy and returned to the set of *Card Sharks* on December 12, that same year.  It may be possible that Lacey might have been the first dealer in all versions of Card Sharks combined to expect a child.

When the show ended in March 1989, Lacey parted ways the TV and modeling business and has kept a low profile. She began working behind the cameras, most notably becoming a casting director of the reality series *The Bachelor* and *The Bachelorette*.

One of his longest-lasting roles was as the announcer on the game show *Let's Make a Deal*, which he announced throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He also announced shows for Reg Grundy Productions & Barry & Enright Productions. In his long career, Jay did host one game show; it was a local one called *By the Numbers*.

Jay committed suicide on September 17, 1989 by shooting himself after he was deeply depressed by his daughter's suicide and did alcohol.
Card Sharks Car Game Win Frequencies (Version 1)

## List of winning card slots

This is a table that is intended to keep track of all the card numbers where the CAR (or HAWAII or WIN!) card was slotted during the seven numbered cards era of the car game, from October 27, 1986 until July 1, 1988.

## Rankings of winning card slots

The following is a table showing the seven most frequented slots where the CAR, HAWAII, or WIN! card was located during the seven numbered cards era of the bonus game.  The ranking, as of this update, is based on data through March 25, 1987, though the list is continuously being updated.

 2nd
 3rd
 4th
 5th

Based on this data, the CAR (or HAWAII or WIN!) card was most frequently slotted in #6, and the winning card was slotted in #3 the least number of times.. It was speculated that the winning card was mostly slotted in #1 or #7, which as of this update is proven to be incorrect.  Plus, #1 and #7 are both extreme numbers that contestants may be very reluctant to pick. Pass the Buck, a currently active pricing game on *The Price is Right*, usually seems to have the car behind either #1 or #6, which again, are numbers that contestants seem to be very reluctant to pick.
Daphnee Duplaix

**Daphnée Lynn Duplaix Samuel** (born August 18, 1976 in Manhattan, NY) is an American model, actress, and former *Playboy* Centerfold. She is of Haitian, French, and Italian descent. Her mother was a professional dancer who worked on stage in both New York and Paris.

Daphne appeared in the July 1997 issue of *Playboy* magazine as her playmate pictorial was photographed by Richard Fegley and has also appeared in several *Playboy* videos.

She also appeared on a special 2002 *Playboy* Playmate edition of the NBC prime-time reality show *Dog Eat Dog*. Daphnee survived til the end where she became the "Top Dog" but unfortunately she went home empty-handed as she got beaten by her "Dog Pound" competitors who split the $25,000 cash prize amongst themselves ($5,000 apiece).

Later, Daphnee paid a visit to the game show arena, hosting *Show Us Your Wits* for *Playboy TV* and later appeared as the card dealer on the pilot episode (only) of the 2001 short-lived revival of Card Sharks, hosted by Pat Bullard.

She is also an accomplished TV & Movie actress, appearing in films such as *Foolish* in 1999 and *The Fighting Temptations* in 2003. She also became popular in the soap opera world, first appearing as Valerie Davis on NBC's *Passions* from 2004 to 2008 and then as Rachel Gannon on the ABC drama *One Life to Live* from 2009 to 2010.

Duplaix is married to Ron Samuel and together, they have three sons.

Gameshow Marathon (UK version)

In September 2005, the ITV network celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with a season of ITV 50 programming that aired. One of them was a seven-week special celebrating classic UK TV game shows, it was called *Gameshow Marathon* presented by Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, better known as Ant & Dec. A second special was instituted in 2007 but with a new host, Vernon Kay. Like its American counterpart, the first series had *Card Sharks* aka *Play Your Cards Right* be the fifth game to be played, while the second had *Cards* go last.

## Ant & Dec's Show

*Play Your Cards Right* was the first of two semi-final games (the other was *Bullseye*). It was played by *Countdown* hostess Carol Vorderman and actress Patsy Kensit and since this was played with couples (unlike in America) they each came with a partner. For Carol, she partnered with her personal trainer Sarah, while Patsy brought in her friend Colin.

The match was played the same way as the actual series.

### Main Game

#### Game 1

In the first game, Carol & Sarah won control first and attempted to sweep the board but missed on #4 with the king. So Patsy & Colin earned a free play and froze on a seven in third position.

In round two, Carol & Sarah won control again. Only this time, they did sweep the board and won the first game. The bonus prize they won for a home viewer was a tea mate with clock.

#### Game 2

In the second game, Patsy & Colin won control first and attempted to sweep the board but instead they froze on a nine in fourth position.

In round two, Patsy & Colin won control again. They changed the nine, got a jack, called the last card right and won the first game. The bonus prize they won for a home viewer was a holiday in Ireland.

#### Game 3 (Tiebreaker)

In the first round of the tiebreaker, Patsy & Colin won control first, but apparently luck wasn't on their side. For they changed a five to a seven and then missed on the second card. So Carol & Sarah earned a free play and froze on a seven in third position.

The round two question had to do with hosts Ant & Dec; it was asked to 100 mothers with one daughter and they were asked this question: "Would you rather have Ant or Dec as a son-in-law. 35 mothers said Ant, another 35 said Dec and the remaining 30 said neither. Back at the cards, Carol & Sarah won control again and elected to changed the seven and it was changed to a jack. Carol & Sarah went on to win the match. The bonus prize they won for a home viewer was a lawn care package.

### Prize Cards

The Prize Cards game was played the same way as the 80s run. Like in the 80s run, the more points the winning team scored, the bigger the prize and 4000 points or more earned a chance at a new car.

On this playing of the Prize Cards, Carol & Sarah's final point total was 4800 points. Naturally, they got the ridiculously easy question right and went on to win the car.
Card Sharks (1996 Pilot)

This is chronicling the 1996 pilot of *Card Sharks*.

## Game Format

This is different from the other versions.

### Main Game

This main game used the 10-person poll question format used from the mid to late 80s versions to determine control of the cards. In the pilot, it was a group of rock video supergirls. This time the cards were arranged in a 10-card pyramid (similar to the 2001 version) and the first player to reach the top won the game and $250. Winning the game on a sweep (guessing all ten cards in a single turn) doubled it to $500. The winner won a chance for $5,000 in the bonus round that plays very similar to the *Shell Game* from *The Price is Right*.

### Bonus Round

S/he was shown four cards (three numbered cards and an ace) A video was run, featuring one of three celebrities (i.e. David Hasselhoff, Cynthia Garrett and Doug Davidson) answering a question (similar to the "dilemmas" used in the 2001 version) A correct prediction as to where the celebrity correctly answered the question kept all the cards; but a wrong prediction forced the contestant to remove one card out of the four. After two/three questions were asked, the player won $100 times the value of each numbered card. However, if they keep the ace they won $5,000.

Card Sharks (1978 Pilot)

This is chronicling the 1978 pilot of **Card Sharks**.

## Game Format

This was pretty much like the series, except with a few noticeable changes:

* Unlike the series, Perry doesn't use a microphone.
* Johnny Olson was the announcer instead of Gene Wood. Although Olson would later sub-announce on few episodes in the actual series occasionally.
* The tiebreaker called "Play Off" used four cards instead of three.
* The confusing display from the contestant podium had a horizontal arrow which points the contestant at whom the poll question was directed to.
* In the Money Cards bonus round, the sign was visible on the right hand side prior to the camera zooming in onto the logo.

In the first pilot it featured lawyer and fellow game show pilot contestant Jack Campion while in the second it had Johnny who "Broke the Bank" (similar to Norma Brown) and won $28,800 in the Money Cards.

Litany

Increases the movement speed of every friendly unit and adds some elemental resistance. All of the **Priests** must have enough mana to start the spell. The spell drains mana over time from each of the **Priests** who cast it. The spell lasts until one of the casting Priests stops channeling, moves, dies, or runs out of mana.
The Trix Gloomix

The Gloomix takes the form of a glowing necklace or wrist cuff with a single gem on the end. The Trix receive the Gloomix from Darkar, and use it. So far, the only known witches to earn this are Icy, Darcy, and StormyGloomix is the witch version of Charmix, given to them by Lord Darkar and it makes them more powerful.

* Gloomix comes from the word "gloom", which means darkness, dimness or obscurity.
The Trix Disenchantix

**Disenchantix** was a witch form that Valtor gave to the Trix. Even though it seemed powerful, the Winx defeated the Trix and their Disenchantix with Enchantix easily. It is only seen in "Witches' Revelation".

Valtor called it "Disenchantix" as it is a power to defeat the Winx girls' Enchantix. By adding the prefix ("dis"), it means the opposite of Enchantix. In the Nickelodeon dub, the name was never revealed

The Trix have even more make-up effects and swimsuit-like outfits with
some sort of color trims, gains boots, some bands on their arms and left
 leg and some jeweled headbands and a lot of eyeshadow. They have
semi-transparent shawls wrapped around their hips with bands around
their left mid-thighs. They also wear knee-high boots. They also seem to
 all be wearing tiaras, which could also be crowns. Unlike Enchantix,
which varies from fairy to fairy, Disenchantix seems to have a very
similar outfit for all witches, with different color trimmings
The Trix Dark Witch

The Trix are receiving new transformation Dark Witch in 6. season

## Information

They are wearing long trousers except for Icy she is wearing skirt.

   I think that they gained their new power from Cloud Tower from some hide source that they have found. After finding of that's source of power they're concentrating on it gaining new transformation and make the school fly.
Also they have found new outfits with a new intimidating make-up and incredible powers, in creating objects, giving other creatures power, changing their form.
April to June 1978

## Pilots

As everybody knows, before a show goes on the air, producers & directors must first produce a pilot episode to show networks what the show is all about and how it works. In this case, *Card Sharks* made two pilot episodes and, of course, the pilots sold.

## April

In the beginning, the stagehands at NBC shuffle and cut the cards in front of the players prior to the show. All face down cards including change cards & lost cards were discarded and shuffled back in the decks whenever a match was interrupted and had to be continued on the next show. And in the Money Cards, the winning contestant can only change the base card on the bottom row.

Potion of Resistance

Gives the **Goblin Hunter** resistance to magic.

## Trivia

**Potion of Resistance** has a unique version for **Goblin Riders**. Both spells use the same research to be unlocked, yet they don't share tooltips. The tooltip of **Goblin Riders**' **Potion of Resistance** instead says: "Gives the **Goblin Hunter** resistance to magic for brief*(sic)* period".
July to December 1987

## July

* Sheri defeats Lance and wins $9,600 on her final trip to the Money Cards, but does not win a fourth car. She retires undefeated with $59,192.
* **Sheri is the biggest winner at this point in the Bob Eubanks run**
* Two brand new players, Tracy and Michael, start a fresh new match.
 385
* After the commercials, Tracy plays for the car and loses.
* New match between Tracy and Willie begins.
* Willie defeats Tracy, and wins $5,### on the Money Cards, and will play for the car on the next show.

* During the final segment, Willie faces new challenger, Perri, who was previously a contestant on *Press Your Luck* in January 1986.

*NOTE: Card Sharks likely didn't air for seven days from July 7-15, 1987 due to the Oliver North testimony*

Also,.Bob Hilton fills in for Gene Wood for the next five shows also.

*July 29-August 4, 1987 is Young People's Week VII. Makes sense, since this would have aired during July sweeps.*

 397

*NOTE: Card Sharks was most likely pre-empted from July 27 to August 5, 1987 due to coverage of the Iran/Contra hearings.*

It is believed that some taping weeks after the Iran-Contra hearings were over, had three and/or four episodes taped in a week for a few weeks in order to get back on track so that a new audience polling group would appear every Monday by the fall.

*NOTE: November 23 to 25, 1987 was Young People's Week. Card Sharks was pre-empted on November 26 and 27, 1987 for Thanksgiving weekend.*

Also, according to someone's episode collection which apparently shows contestants' appearances in clusters based on their run, it appears that the match between Carli vs. Mike was within a cluster of the other Young People's Week episodes, which could imply that the match between Brandon vs. Nicole from February 20, 1987 continued from where it left off sometime in the summer of 1987 (most likely by the end of August).

 479
* Anupam performs a rap number while introducing himself.
* Minnie defeats Anupam, and wins $2,000 on the Money Cards, but no trip (total: $2,200)
 481
* Bethany defeats Kevin, wins the Money Cards and a trip to Hawaii (total: $6,450)
* New match between Sunny vs. David begins, and continues on December 21, 1987.

## December

*NOTE: There is speculation from a YouTube user that the next two weeks of episodes may have been designated as #513 to #521, which were, of course, Young Peoples' Weeks. If true, these episodes were likely taped after the first nine episodes of 1988 were taped. The episode numbers will be changed if PDF schedules in the distant future disprove such claim.*

As Young Peoples' Week continues, Bob Goen does a series of cameos for the week of December 28 to 31, 1987 to plug his game show disaster *Blackout* which would premiere the following Monday, January 4, 1988.

## August

As of the following week, to make the game more fair and more fun, and although the staff still shuffles the cards, the contestants now cut their own cards before each match in front of the audience. Each player cuts two decks, one for the match and one for the Money Cards in case they make it there. The winner of the match plays their deck in the Money Cards, and the biggest rule change here is that he/she can now change the base card on each level. Finally, if the show ends with a game in progress, the unexposed cards are placed back on top of the decks in reverse order so the board will be exactly as it was when the dealers load the board to start the next show.

Some speculated that Bob was emotional not only due to his tribute to Carole Costello, but also because he enjoyed hosting Card Sharks so much, and the series had come to an end. Card Sharks would never been seen again in first-run until the disastrous 2001 version with Pat Bullard as host.*

And so ends a great show. Replacing it the following Monday is the Chuck Henry-hosted revival of *Now You See It*.

Episode 12

## Blurb

*"Kakeru moves to Matsumoto with his mother mother after she decides to move there for her own reasons. When she passes away on the first day of school after Kakeru transfers, Kakeru blames himself and thus refuses Suwa's invitation to join the Soccer club. Kakeru sees some old classmates from Tokyo, but none of them understand what Kakeru is going through. In the end, Kakeru becomes so distressed that he feels that he has no way out."*

## Plot Summary

The episode begins with Kakeru's story of moving with his mother. The events of the original alternate timeline are shown, such as the school losing the softball team since Naho hesitated. It also depicts the events that led to Kakeru's mother's suicide and eventually his own, as he got run over by a truck while riding his bicycle. Before dying, Kakeru wondered to whom Naho gave the chocolate heart.

In the present, Naho reads the letter from her future self, revealing that she would never be able to talk the same way with Kakeru again after New Year's. Although Naho was able to apologize, things were still strained as Kakeru continued to avoid her. This leaves her heartbroken, fearing that all the times with Kakeru might be over.

The episode concludes with Naho telling Kakeru to wait until Valentine's Day. She expresses her willingness to reconnect with him, whether he likes or hates her.
Port Trade Association

A council of the wealthiest and most influential people in the south, this association was formed to ensure maximum profits for everyone involved, and to keep “unrest” between rival companies to a minimum. They are highly opposed to the church because of their regulations on trade as well as high taxes. For a faction ruled by greed, they do a surprisingly good job of keeping the common man’s best interest in mind. Of course, their main interest is keeping their pockets lined and their heads connected to their necks.

## Influences

Serusa, Firasa, Nahrisa, Alma Elma, in the south.
Binding

Binding is a method of partially or completely fusing the souls of Abyssal and Exigal creatures. It is a complex ritual that can only be performed by a class 3 entity or higher, as other beings do not have the ability to connect with the opposite realm.

The most effective and common method requires a being to bring a portion of blood into Abyss with him, as it will allow the shard to see that person's presence in the Abyss. The amount of blood will also determine the strength of the binding. The being then needs to bring the creature they wish to bind to the same relative location as the host, and the entity being bound must ingest or be saturated in the Host's blood. Both the abyssal and the human must be branded using vis. Neither the human nor the abyssal necessarily need to be alive to be bound. Other methods involve simply branding the participants with pure vis for a weaker binding, or a complete fusion of the soul in rare, dangerous, and often illegal cases.

The amount of blood, the strength of the participants, and other criteria factor into the result of the binding.
The Cleric is Dead Wiki

Cleric is Dead (CiD) is a collaborative fantasy project with origins on Creepypasta Wiki Chat. Its goals are building a believable and interesting world in which multiple writers can contribute and expand. CiD values logic above all, and despite the magical world, relies on thinking "scientifically" for expanding this world in a realistic way.

CiD follows the events of Cleric's demise, hence the name. Several civil wars break loose as each faction battles for power, meanwhile everyone is pointing fingers. Powerful Fragments and Shards populate this world, and are respected or hated for their supernatural strength powered by Vis.

CiD involves two twin worlds that starkly contrast each other. Abyss, the magical 'shadow realm' is believed to be the origins of Vis and even Cleric himself. Exig is an earth-like world with realistic politics and factions.
Exig

Exig is one of the twin realms. An Earth-like realm with very little Vis, it is the primary focus of CiD. Originally, Exig had no Vis before it was brought by Cleric.

Exig is populated by humans, and is was formerly ruled by Cleric. It is very similar to Europe, during the height of the Christian Church.

The Trix Dark Sirenix

###

The outfits consists of a body suits that is less revealing and
darker than Sirenix, a pairs of stiletto, a glove made of the same
material with the outfit cover a hand and even the socks covering the
girls' legs. They wear smeared makeup on there eyes and lips. The hair
mostly stays in ponytail or pigtails. Instead of seashell-shaped wings,
they gain tentacles.

After Tritannus forced Daphne to tell him where the source of Sirenix
power was, Tritannus headed to Lake Roccaluce to destroy the Source of
Sirenix permanently, so Daphne cannot protect her Sirenix from being
stolen by him. After he destroyed the source (which was later restored
by the Winx using their Harmonix powers and the powers of the Selkies),
 Tritannus absorbed Daphne's Sirenix powers and used his trident to give
 a dark version of Sirenix to the Trix. It is unknown how the Trix still
 keep their Dark Sirenix even Tritannus loses his power and trident
Cleric

Cleric is a godlike entity who formerly ruled over Exig, before his assassination. Very little is known about him, but Abyssal legends speak of a great king who vanished millennia ago; around the same time Cleric surfaced.

Cleric is often worshiped, and his followers have a powerful standing in a large portion of Exig. The Church is authoritative and anti-vis, believing Vis is a gift for the faithful; and not intended for 'heretics'.

Before his death, he was a humble ruler, and only spoke when necessary. He despised corruption and violence; and kept the realm in retaliative peace and order. He was loved by most, and even his enemies respected him greatly.

Following his demise, civil war breaks out across Exig, with each side pointing fingers as an excuse to reach their goals.

Physically, Cleric is very tall and thin, standing at almost 7'. He is cloaked in a mustard colored robe, which covers nearly all his features and is tight against most of his form. He wears a crowned eyeless mask with the 'cleric' symbol engraved into its surface, and never reveals his face.

Cleric detests violence, and values order and loyalty above all. He masks his appearance because "The should people respect the king, not the person wearing the crown".

Abyssals

Abyssals are the inhabitants of Abyss. They are biologically immortal beings with horns, six limbs, and grey eyes. As they age, they continue to grow indefinitely until they die. Very old abyssals can grow to a monstrous size.

Abyssals are the Abyss equivalent of mammals, with hundreds of various species. The most populous race are the T'abyssi, a sentient species mirroring humanity. Unlike other species, they have four limbs. Their additional limbs fused together into a single six fingered one. T'abyssi, despite their demonic appearance, are more or less 'human'. T'abyssi are much more likely to have magical talent than humans, and those that do, do not require a catalysts because of the thickness of vis in Abyss.

Abyssian Nobles are the abyssal equivalent of Shards. However, they greatly surpass them because of the vis in abyss, and because their immortality usually means they have much more experience. Nobles are often unrecognizable as T'abyssi because of the centuries using pure vis mutating them, but they technically still are.

Magic is much more hereditary for abyssals than humans, and it is nearly always passed down from parents. Even abyssal beasts can have magical abilities. (Hypothetically, so can animals in Exig. They have difficulty grasping catalysts, however.)

## T'abyssi Society

The most universal factor of Abyssian society is that magic nearly always equals power. Even the most isolated tribes seem to follow this trend. The other major factors in Abyssian society are age, and honor. These, however, are less universal.

Those with magical ability are nearly always village/tribe/clan elders, or in larger, more civilized portions of Abyss, like in cities, are well respected and influential citizens. Nobles are rare, and nearly always hold some form of major leadership position.

A village with a Noble will virtually always snowball into a country, and possibly an empire.

The five Princes are beings at the very top of the social ladder. They each control ever expanding super-empires, and have nearly godlike power. They are actually Nephilim, a powerful crossbreed race, which is why they break the upper limits of strength 'set' by Shards and Nobles.

Tel'abyssi is the primary language of Abyss.

Mountain Faction (Placeholder)

Mostly composed of isolationist village kingdoms, they are ruled as a whole by their High King. While they are barren and resources are scarce, the volcanic and seismic activity uncovers hundreds of rare stones which are incredibly valuable to both the magical community as well as the rich and affluent. They are decidedly neutral in the war raging to the east. Despite this, each side tries to win them over due to the powerful stockpile of stones, which would make a considerable difference for whomever possesses them.

*NOTE: Although Nicholas Mooneyhan does not show any information on his episode guide (which was virtually inactive since around July 2002) regarding the latter episodes of the upcoming Young People's Week, YouTube user thewhammy83 did upload the latter three episodes from that week in 2011, which allowed an opportunity to fill in the information that Mr. Mooneyhan was unable to fill in his episode guide.*

*NOTE: It is rumored that during the week of June 6 to 10, 1988, Ray Combs would make a series of cameos to plug the new revival of Family Feud, which he would be hosting, and would premiere on CBS four weeks later.  It would make sense to have such plugs for Family Feud, since it would allow enough time to get families on the show, as Feud was about to start taping by that point in the run.*

Chamber of Screams

**Chamber of Screams** is the 12th and last mission in the Fallen Campaign.

## Plot

Domina helps the Avatar of Darkness to open the third and last Seal. This one also opens the Chamber of Screams, where the two Fathers of Darkness were incarcerated by Ruannon.

## Quests

* The Third Seal
	+ Guide Domina and two Matriarchs to the lock
	+ Defend Domina and the Matriarchs while opening the lock
	+ The Avatar of Darkness must survive
	+ Domina must survive
	+ Kill the Renegade Mages
	+ Guide the Avatar of Darkness into the Portal

## Hints

This mission is - for a last mission - quite simple. You can build Beholders for the first and only time. Produce an army of them and mow down your enemies.

When these are gone, you can open the Third Seal with Domina and two Matriarchs. You should gather your army there because Ruannon's order is mobilizing it's last reserves to stop the Fallen. Renegade Mages spawn constantly that are much stronger than the standard mage and will try to disturb the Matriarchs at their ritual. In this battle, several Beholders will die.

The breaking of the Seal takes 5 minutes.

It is not necessary to destroy the Empire and Beast bases since they are actually fighting each other. It is recommended, though.
