It also can be from an Irish surname that is the Anglicized form of *Ó Fuada* "descendant of Fuada." Fuada is derived from *fuadach* which means "wind-blown, pulsating, plundering." Notable people with this surname include Jonathan Swift (essayist/satirist) and Taylor Swift (country and pop music star).

New Delphian Music Hall

The **New Delphian Music Hall** was a Nevermoorian building located on the high street of the Bohemian District. It was used for artists or groups to perform music.

*See also: Old Delphian Music Hall*

## Description

The New Delphian was the most crowded on the street. It was made of white marble and gold and looked like a cross between a cathedral and a wedding cake. A brightly lit marquee displayed the name of the act performing at the hall.

## Behind the Scenes

* Jupiter North says he wouldn't be caught dead going into the New Delphian.

Davina Swift

**Davina Swift** is a Nevermoorian toddler, the youngest child of Dave and Catriona Swift and younger sister of Helena, Homer, and Hawthorne Swift. As of Winter of Two, Third Age of Aristocrats, Davina is mentioned to be almost three years old.

## Biography

Davina was born into the Swift family as the youngest of four children, likely in the earlier half of Eleven, Second Age of the Aristocrats. While she would hardly see her older sister Helena, who was away studying at Gorgonhowl College of Radical Meteorology, she would have her older brothers Homer and Hawthorne at home.

During Summer of Two, Third Age of Aristocrats, she accompanied her family and Morrigan Crow to the Nevermoor Bazaar. In winter of that year, her older sister would make it home for the Christmas holidays and they would attend the Battle of Christmas Eve together. On the way home, Davina, Hawthorne, and Morrigan—who were separated from the rest of the Swift family—would almost be attacked by a leopardwun that was infected with Hollowpox. Thanks to the quick actions of others, the three of them remained unharmed, and in Baby Dave's case, unaware of the dangerous situation.

## Physical Appearance

"*Baby Dave . . . was enormously fat, blond, and cheerful.*"
―Description of Davina[src]

## Personality and Traits

"*The Swifts all agreed she was brilliant, maybe better than the rest of them put together.*"
―The Swifts expectations of Davina[src]

## Etymology

The name **Davina** (də-VEE-nə) originated in Scotland as a feminine form of the name *David*. The Hebrew דָּוִד (*Dawid*) comes from the Hebrew דּוֹד (*dod*) which means "beloved" or "uncle."

**Swift** comes from the English surname, originally a nickname for a swift/fast runner from the Old English *swift* "swift, fleet, quick." It also can be from an Irish surname that is the Anglicized form of *Ó Fuada* "descendant of Fuada." Fuada is derived from *fuadach* which means "wind-blown, pulsating, plundering." Notable people with this surname include Jonathan Swift (essayist/satirist) and Taylor Swift (country and pop music star).

## Trivia and Behind the Scenes

* There is a fairly large age gap between Davina and the second youngest, Hawthorne (approx. 9-10 years). The rest of her siblings are only a few years apart from each other.
* Given the more than usually specific information we have been given about her age we can entertain the possibility that Davina was born on Spring's Eve, Winter of Ten, Age of Southern Influence — exactly one year before Eventide.

Slinghoul

**Slinghouls** are monstrous creatures that are not-quite-human and not-quite-unnimal; their face and upper torso is human-like while their lower half resembles a snake. Despite being humanoid, they have many limbs. Slinghouls are covered in scales yet fleshy. Their black eyes are said to resemble glittering beetles. They move around by pulling themselves across the ground with their arms. Their tails, while muscular, do not seem to aid Slinghouls in moving around. Diplomacy and negotiations do not work on a Slinghoul, however their behaviors are predictable and thus can be either managed or avoided.

The Ghastly Market

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

"*This place had none of the charm of the Nevermoor Bazaar. . . the Ghastly Market felt like it had been spat on, walked over, and rubbed in the dirt.*"
―the feeling surrounding the illegal black market[src]The **Ghastly Market** is a black market that sells illegal items and could be considered the 'evil twin' of the Nevermoor Bazaar. The market is held in secluded places (such as The Museum of Stolen Moments) in order to keep the Stink and the Stealth from finding the event and thereby shutting it down and arresting those involved.

## Legacy

Over time, The Ghastly Market has become more of an urban legend to Nevermoorians and especially wundrous society members, in an effort for a cheap thrill or scare, though the market is still in existence, it is rarely seen an a vast majority of the society before the events of wundersmith presumed it to be gone. Many associate the Bonesmen to the market as well.

## Products

People go to the market to find otherwise illegal items and services. These include: weapons, outlawed sorcery ingredients, smuggling individuals to or from the Wintersea Republic, human organs, exotic unnimal parts, wunimals, and other fantastical creatures among other items. Bigger ticket items, such as rare creatures, wunimals, individuals, and knacks are typically sold at a limited-seat auction held during the market.
Fireblossom Tree

The **Fireblossom tree** is an incendiary botanical, a tree that is continuously on fire but with no harm to the plant itself (and possibly other items). By Spring of One, Third Age of Aristocrats, the fireblossom trees had been extinct for at least one hundred years.

## Description

As an extinct species, the fireblossom tree had a stark black trunk with no leaves or flowers, just spindly branches. It is unknown if the black trunk was due to the tree being dead or if that was the natural colour and state of the trunk.

## Known Trees

Two rows of the previously extinct species line the driveway up to Proudfoot House on the Wunsoc campus.

## Behind the Scenes

* Morrigan Crow read about fireblossom trees in *A Vegetal History of Nevermoor* as part of her preparation for her Book Trial.
* It is mentioned that a fireblossom tree (or at least a dead one) is nearly impossible to chop down and can be an eyesore for gardeners.

## Appearances

* *Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow* (First appearance)
* *Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow*
* *Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow*

## Notes and References

1. ↑ It is unknown at this time if *Incendiary Botanical* is another name for the Fireblossom tree or if it the family name of similar plants and fireblossom trees are one of many types of Incendiary Botanicals.

Unnamed Realm

"*Nevermoor’s still standing, after all. It’s still the greatest city in the Unnamed Realm.*"
―Jupiter North[src]The Unnamed Realm contains the whole of the Free State and the four States of The Wintersea Republic. It doesn't seem to encompass any other populated areas. It extends at least nine hours of timezone and reaches all the way to the [North or South] Pole at the Center of Zeev Forest and might cover the whole planet.

The Goblean Library is a pocket realm attached to the unnamed realm at Mayhew St, Old Town. It is a relatively recently made duplicate of Nevermoor.

## As a Figure of Speech

"*He sought to own the city, and by owning the city, to own the entire realm.*"
―Kedgeree[src]Citizens use the term "*realm*" synonymously with "*the world*".

"*I didn’t know there were any Timekeepers left in the Unnamed Realm.*"
―Henry Mildmay[src]While explorers prefer to use the more specific term "*Unnamed Realm*"

## Interrealm Exploration

The League of Explorers has interrealm explorers who travel to mysterious realms outside of the Unnamed Realm. Other realms include:

* Jupiter North has discovered seventeen previously undocumented realms
* Phlox I and Phlox II are two mosquito infected realms
* Ma Wei is a middle realm.
* There is a troll-infested realm — also unnamed.

Nancy Dawson

**Jupiter North**: "*A fine choice of candidate for the five-time Dragonriding Champion of the Free State.*"
**Nancy Dawson**: "*Former champion. Won't be competing again soon, not with this [false leg].*"
— Meeting Nan at the Wundrous Welcome event[src]

**Nancy Dawson** (also called Nan) is a member of the Wundrous Society and the patron of Hawthorne Swift. Nancy was a five-time Dragonriding champion before an opponent's dragon chomped her right leg off and ate it at an annual tournament two years before the events of *Nevermoor*. She currently coach's at Nevermoor's dragonriding junior league.

## Accomplishments

* Entered The Wundrous Society
* Became a Wundrous Society Patron
* Five-time Dragonriding champion
* Became a coach at Nevermoor's dragonriding junior league

## Relationships

### Hawthorne Swift

Nancy seems to be proud with Hawthorne. She chooses him for a candidate, tells him inside things from WunSoc and is ready to support him in times of need. She also knows of his love of mischief and warns him about getting caught. She pretends to be annoyed at this side of him.

### **Jupiter North**

Nancy is on friendly terms with Jupiter. They seem to know each other well and mindful of their candidates' friendship take them together to celebrate. Nan later shows that she trusts Jupiter's judgement and knack.

### **Morrigan Crow**

Nancy is kind to Morrigan and sometimes tries to make her laugh. She stays on her side even after she learns that the girl is a Wundersmith.

## Etymology

**Nancy** is originally a medieval diminutive from the name Annis or Agnes, a Latin form of the Greek ‘Αγνη (*Hagne*) or ‘αγνος (*hagnos*) meaning "chaste." It is also a diminutive of the name Ann which ultimately has roots in the Hebrew name חַנָּה (*Channah/Hannah*) meaning "favour, grace."

**Dawson** is an English, Irish, or Scottish surname meaning "son of Daw." Daw is a medieval diminutive of the name Hebrew name David  דָּוִד (*Dawid*) from the Hebrew  דּוֹד (*dod*) meaning "beloved" or "uncle."

Maris Murgatroyd

**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**

**Maris Murgatroyd** is the Scholar Mistress of Arcane Arts at the Wundrous Society. She shares a body with Dulcinea Dearborn in a Jekyll/Hyde type situation, herself being the Hyde half as she is seen as scarier, more unpredictable, and more grotesque than Ms. Dearborn.

*See also: Dulcinea Dearborn and/or Rook Rosenfeld*

## Biography

Dearborn has been the Scholar Mistress for long enough to have had Chanda Kali, and a 'bespectacled older gentleman' as students and probably much longer.

## Physical Appearance

Murgatroyd has been described as similar to Dearborn but with differences which are little when viewed on their own. Her eyes are light grey. Her hair is white and she has sharp teeth which are almost brown.

## Personality and Traits

Murgatroyd has a reputation for being frightening. However, she is perhaps less severe in relation to the rules than Dearborn, as she is more accepting towards Morrigan's knack and relation with Ezra Squall than may have been expected. She seems to be more open-minded and less traditional than other people in the society, for related reasons.

## Abilities and Skills

Murgatroyd breathes ice to put out a fire at the Society Wunderground Station. When the Elders are threatened, Dearborn transforms into Murgatroyd suggesting she is the better of the two in a fight.

## Relationships

### Dearborn

"*Oh-ho, Dulcie’s going to spit.*"
―Maris Murgatroyd after deciding to take over Morrigan's education[src]
Murgatroyd has a friendly and productive relationship with Dearborn, but they clash dramatically over Morrigan Crow's education.

## Etymology

**Maris** (pronounced either MEHR-is or MAR-is) is a rare English name meaning "of the sea." This is fairly appropriate as she has the ability to breathe water/ice.

**Murgatroyd** is an English surname derived from a place name meaning "Margaret's road."

*See also: Maris Murgatroyd and/or Rook Rosenfeld*

## Biography

Dearborn has been the Scholar Mistress for long enough to have had Chanda Kali as a student and probably much longer.

## Physical Appearance

Dearborn has icy blue eyes and silver-blond hair. She has a pale skin colour and often ties her hair back tightly. She has been said to have features that could be attractive by themselves, but combined result in an icy appearance.

## Personality and Traits

Dearborn has a severe and stern personality which causes many students to find her a bit frightening. She is very strict, and confident in her judgement. She needs to be in control, perhaps a reaction to having to sometimes unwillingly give up control of her body to Maris Murgatroyd. She obstucts Morrigan's education, perhaps because of a need to control things.

## Abilities and Skills

Dearborn's knack is currently unknown. She is very organized and proud of it.

## Relationships

### Maris Murgatroyd

Dearborn has a friendly and productive relationship with Murgatroyd, but they clash dramatically over Morrigan Crow's education.

## Etymology

Black Parade

"*They wore somber expressions, their eyes straight ahead. Here and there were empty spaces, and some of the people marching carried candles—one candle for each of the departed.*"
―description of the Black Parade[src]
The **Black Parade** is one of Nevermoor's most sacred traditions, dating back hundreds of years. Started by the Wundrous Society, it honored members who had died in the previous year. Occurring at midnight, people began to watch the parade over the years in silence as to pay their respects.

In recent years, following the solemn march of the Wundrous Society, the rest of the parade turned into a boisterous, musical, and colorful celebration of Hallowmas with parade floats and marching bands. The Morden Cemetery float is a yearly favourite with many in the crowd.

## History

The parade began with only the Wundrous Society marching hundreds of years prior to those in the Third Age of the Aristocrats. More civilians began to watch the parade as the years went by.

Over the Ages, the parade became more lively and colourful, but the Wundrous Society upheld the tradition of marching first.

In Year of Two, Third Age of the Aristocrats, the parade was cancelled (along with other Hallowmas celebrations) following the abduction of three Wundrous Society members.

## The Parade

Occurring at midnight, a silent procession of Society members dressed in black uniforms with their golden W pin at the throat marching in rows of nine march through the streets. Some members of the procession could be seen carrying a candle to mark a departed life, also seen as gaps in the rows of nine. People began to watch the parade over the years in silence as to pay their respects and only the sound of footsteps on cobblestones can be heard.

Once the Wundrous Society reached the end of the parade route, the rest of the parade starts: boisterous, musical, and colorful parade floats and marching bands. Some examples of participants include a marching band dressed up as demons, a three-story-high puppet of a werewolf, the Alliance of Nevermoor Covens (dressed as stereotypical witches), and, the fan-favourite, a float of the Morden Cemetery (with people dressed as zombies). One year also included a puppet of the monstrous Wundersmith but this was met with disapproval and dissatisfaction by parade attendees.

## Behind the Scenes

* Jupiter North claims the best spot to watch the parade is the corner of Deacon Street and McLaskey Avenue.

Squall Industries

**Squall Industries** is the sole corporation responsible for the creation and distribution of the primary energy source in the Wintersea Republic, Wunder. It is owned and was founded by Ezra Squall and is his main source of wealth.

Squall Industries is likely the most influential and important company in the entirety of Wintersea, as it produces energy for an entire nation. It has also made Ezra Squall into one of the most important and wealthiest people in the Republic, second to President Wintersea (Maud Lowry).
Wundrous Welcome

"*The Wundrous Welcome isn't just a garden party . . . It is, most unfortunately, a garden full of people judging everything about you.*"
―Dame Chanda Kali[src]
The **Wundrous Welcome** is a garden party event held for Wundrous Society candidates and their patrons before the Trials officially begin.

## Description

The event take place in the gardens of Proudfoot House on the Wundrous Society campus. Live background music is provided, such as from a string quartet. Refreshments and desserts are provided with waiters walking around to serve the guests as needed. Patrons and candidates mingle; while many patrons may catch-up with old friends, candidates may either size-up their opponents or make alliances and, perhaps, friendships in some cases. The High Council of Elders give a speech welcoming the candidates, though also warn that many will never make it further into the Society than attending the Wundrous Welcome event. They also announce the first trial at the event, marking the official beginning to the Trials.

Candidates and their patrons dress up in cocktail or semi-formal dress.

## History

In Spring of One, Third Age of the Aristocrats, the event was interrupted by a barrel of toads being unleashed upon party guests, causing chaos. It is likely that most attendees left the party soon after this transpired.

Public Distraction Department

"*Протягом багатьох років, Товариство Дивообраних виконувало одне таємне завдання. Точніше, два однаково важливих завдання, об'єднаних в одне. Назва в них проста, бо більш пишномовної ми не вигадали.... стримування і відволікання" Основною задачею Тодобру є так би мовити- замовчення важливих речей, які могли викликати у людей негативну і надто бурхливу реакцію. Звичайні громадяни своєю емоційною реакцією можуть зашкодити виконанню певного завдання"Налякані люди небезпечні. Запам'ятайте це- Міс Кроу"*

Для цього створено Департамент відволікання населення.

English:

"For many years, the Society of the Miraculously Elected performed one secret task. More precisely, two equally important tasks combined into one. The name in them is simple, because we did not invent a more lavish one.... restraint and distraction" The main task of Todobro is, so to speak, to say, the silence of important things that could cause people a negative and too violent reaction. Ordinary citizens with their emotional reaction can harm the performance of a certain task"Frightened people are dangerous. Remember this - Miss Crow"

For this purpose, the Department of Population Distraction was created.
Free State

"*The Free State is the free state. The one that's actually free. State number five, the one your tutors never taught you about, because they didn't know about it themselves.*"
―Jupiter North[src]The **Free State**, also called the fifth state, is not actually a part of the Wintersea Republic though it borders along it, both of them are in the Unnamed Realm. No one can enter the Free State without an invitation and border security around the state is patrolled by multiple types of security personnel. The Free State is broken into seven pockets and is governed by Prime Minister Gideon Steed.

## Pockets

The Free State is broken into seven pockets. It is unknown at this time how the pockets are divided (geographically, land mass, other).

### Sixth Pocket

* Gorgonhowl College of Radical Meteorology

### Seventh Pocket

* Barclaytown
* Mount Florien

## Wintersea Republic

Citizens of the Wintersea Republic are not allowed to know that the Free State exists. The Republic treats this as treason and it is punishable by death-by-execution.

**Missteps, Blunders, Fiascoes, Monstrosities, and Devastations: An Abridged History of the Wundrous Acts Spectrum** is a book, written by Hemingway Onstald. It described the history of Wundersmiths in an unpleasant way, which made all Wundersmiths seem horrible.

## History

The book was written by Hemingway Onstald and used for his classes on Wundersmith history with Morrigan Crow.

## Description

The book is described as being very heavy and enormous. Before Morrigan started using it for her classes, it was covered in dust. The font, used for the title of the book was old-fashioned.

Malcolm Lutwyche

**Dr. Malcolm Lutwyche** is a member of the Wundrous Society and the head of the Wundrous Society Teaching Hospital. He and Dr. Bramble worked on trying to find a cure for Wunimals infected by the Hollowpox disease.

## Etymology

**Malcolm** is a Scottish Gaelic name that comes from *Máel Coluim*, which means "disciple of Saint Columba" (Columba is a late Latin name that means "dove.").

The English surname **Lutwyche** likely means "outlying (dairy) farm." It is composed of the elements *lot* or *lote* "a special shovel used to dig ditches" and *wic* which usually meant "dairy farm." Variations of the name have been recorded as far back as 1086 and 1273. This name may have been chosen to pay homage to a suburb of the same name in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Eventide Curse

**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**
The **Eventide Curse** affects children who are born on Eventide, the final day of the age, in the Wintersea Republic. The child is believed to bring misfortune to anyone or anything they encounter. A child born under this curse is referred to as a **Cursed Child**.

## History

According to tradition, a child born any time on Eventide is said to be cursed. The "cursed child" --as they become known and called throughout their life-- is fated to die at midnight on the next Eventide having lived a relatively short life, usually twelve years but there have been know to be shorter, such as eleven years. Each child born on Eventide is automatically cursed and placed on a list called the Cursed Child Registrar.

The cursed child's short life is fairly pitiable: they are a scapegoat for any misfortune that happens, especially those that happen while they are in any close vicinity to the incident. Each child is given a caseworker who meets with the child and their parent/guardian monthly to discuss money owed for damages and to write apology letters. When the next Eventide is believed to be within a year's time, the caseworker may suggest specialty child psychologists (one's who work with cursed children) to help them through their final year.

However, in reality, the Eventide Curse is made-up. It was invented by Ezra Squall to be the reason behind the deaths of those born on Eventide on the following Eventide; he sends the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow after the Cursed Children to kill them. Children born on Eventide are Wunder-sensitive and he did not like those children taking that which he considered his. He said that the at the beginning, people pitied the children for having short life-spans, but over the course of a few ages, the Eventide Curse became twisted and the people began to blame and use the children as scapegoats for any-sort of misfortune.

## Behind the Scenes

* Morrigan may be the first Cursed Child to find out that the curse was made up
* Ages last eleven to seventeen years. Cursed children live only for as long as the Age that begins the day after they are born. The end of the Age can only be roughly estimated, like the weather.
	+ In Morrigan's case, the Age lasted only eleven years
* Not much is known about the Cursed Child Registrar, other than it lists the current children's names. This list might be public for the citizens of the republic.

Daudbilbakken

Daudbilbakken med pengebingen på toppen

**Daudbilbakken** er en bakketopp i Andeby. Skrue McDucks pengebinge ligger på toppen av Daudbilbakken. Han kjøpte bakken av Konrad Kvakk, Bestemor Ducks bror da han var gullgraver under det store gullrushet i Klondike.

Tidligere sto Andebyfortet på toppen av bakken, som da het Daudhestbakken. Da Skrue kom til byen med søstrene sine kjørte han bil. Når de kjørte opp bakken fikk de problemer og trillet ned igjen og traff Bestemor Ducks maisåker. Da skiftet de navnet til Daudbilbakken.
Helix Wong

"*There stood the three esteemed members of the Wunsoc's High Council of Elders . . . Elder Helix Wong—a serious, gray-bearded man covered in tattoos*"
―Meeting the Elders at the Inauguration Ceremony[src]**Helix Wong** is one of the three members of the Wundrous Society's High Council of Elders.

## Personality and Traits

Like the other elders in the society, Helix Wong tends to be serious, and quite strict. He found Jupiter North's decisions around Morrigan Crow questionable. Along with the other elders, he has taken measures to adhere to the ideas of the society and protect it- during the events of Hollowpox, this was to the detriment of Morrigan Crow. This suggests that he and the other elders don't always value the individuals in the society as much as it's whole. Wong likely has good leadership skills, and experience as an older person in the Society.

## Etymology

While **Helix** is an nontraditional name, a helix (singular) is a type of smooth curve. The word helix comes from the Greek *ἕλιξ*, "twisted, curved." It is possible that this name was chosen for it's similarity to the name Felix or for it's scientific connotations.

There are two possible variations of the Chinese surname **Wong**. One is a Cantonese romanization of the surname *Wang* (王) meaning "king, monarch." This is one of, if not the most, popular surnames, not only in China, but the world. The second possibility comes from a Cantonese romanization of *Huang* (黄) "yellow."
