See, Grandma, I DO Go To Church on Sundays (Session Summary)

**See, Grandma, I DO Go To Church on Sundays** details of the events of the April 19, 2020 session where the party continues their pursuit of David.

## Session Notes

* Victoria successfully heals Cecily.
* The party sends Anastasios to find Oberon and asks Cecily to find David.
* Anastasios threatens to kill everyone except Sorni and Simon if the party lets Cecily die before he returns.
* Aedan starts making her way to the center of the town, but is inhibited by the zombified townspeople in the streets.
* Aedan and Anastasios run into each other, and Anastasios updates Aedan on the current situation.
* Anastasios takes out the villagers harassing Aedan and grants her temporary fae magic to improve her athletics as she searches for the party. The two split up.
* Cecily informs the party that she will be incapacitated after finding David and that the party must move quickly.
* Song decides to barricade Cecily in a guest room of the Keep with Simon once she is finished locating David.
* Cecily determines that David is in the church near the center of the town.
* Aedan reconvenes with the party and they make their way to the church.
* Once they reach the church, the party agrees to split up into two groups: Aedryan, Clara, and Talos, and Sorni, Victoria, and Aedan.
* The former group takes the west end of the church and the latter takes the east.
* The west half of the church appears messy, and a gust of wind slams the doors shut as the party makes their way through the first room.
* Clara yells to the other group that they should try the middle room.
* Victoria, Sorni, and Aedan notice that the east end of the church is impeccably clean.
* They approach the right door down the hall, and Aedan notices strange patterns crisscrossing over it. She remembers seeing the patterns in the Palace back in Astropolis. She also notes that she feels like someone is watching them.
* Sorni advocates for opening the door. She steps through the threshold and the door slams shut. The door is then covered with stone via magic.
* Victoria begins casting a spell to conjure ivy to break apart the rocks covering the door.
* Talos notices that the carpets beneath their feet are being mended, most likely by the breath of the gods.
* Talos throws a dagger at the carpet, which seems to agitate the breath.
* Clara sets the nearest rug on fire as a distraction, and feels pinches of the breath of the gods on her before they move to put the fire out. As this did not distract the breath, the group agrees to try running past the breath of the gods instead.
* Talos goes first, and the breath appears to target him. His eyes go unfocused and he gets a nosebleed.
The Power of Love (Session Summary)

**The Power of Love** details the events of the May 17, 2020 session where the party concludes their fight against David.

## Session Notes

* Sorni and Victoria, trapped in the room, are alerted to the presence of David, the Herald of the End, and they attempt to keep him occupied while the rest of the party tries to break through the frozen-over/bricked door. Victoria shoots him with an arrow as they banter and Sorni readies her weapon.

* Outside, after Aedryan’s assessment of the door, Clara attempts to use fire magic to melt the ice, but accidentally hits Aedan in the face with it instead. Aedryan tries to rally the group and boost their spirits. Aedan tries to bust the door down with a kick and manages to break a hole through the ice.

* Sorni lashes out at David with her whip and makes contact, but the parts that connect immediately rust, the connecting strands beginning to fray, gaining the aspect [Touched by Entropy].

* Clara tries once again to use her fire magic to melt the ice. In a stunning success, the door is blasted open and some of the shrapnel hits Sorni. The party is finally reunited, and enters the room to see Victoria fire another arrow and hit its mark.

* David admits he has jacked it to feet. This is important.

* The party quickly starts to realize they’ll need to work together, and although it takes them a bit to come up with a plan, Aedryan’s silver tongue works its magic and empowers her comrades using the [Power of Love] invoke. Talos slips behind Sorni and into her shadows, as Aedan sneaks into Aedryan’s. Victoria continues to fire arrows at David, and when he fails to catch one, he decides he’s had enough, and pulls out a pistol, firing it at her and hitting her in the leg.

* Still standing, Victoria and Clara work together to create a fire arrow, which hits David in the stomach. He shoots Victoria again, as the group continues to close in on him. Aedan lands a kick on him, and David dodges a dagger thrown by Talos. Victoria and Clara fire another flaming arrow, which hits, and just as David aims his pistol to shoot Victoria again, the party receives their due deus ex machina in the form of a very irritated Lord of the Fae, Oberon.

* Oberon threatens to tell Eli what David has been doing, and warns that Titania is on her way. David vanishes. They make their way out of the church.

## Trivia

* The title, "Power of Love," refers to the advantage created by the team to help in their fight. It's also a pretty fun song.
Talos Mbeni

Talos was an assassin that was captured by General Mbeni when setup by his organization. However rather than rot in prison Mbeni saw promise and gave Talos a second life and a second chance. He joined the military under direction from Mbeni and mostly worked security for large events for when he wasnt on special assignments mainly cause Mbeni didn't want to be dragged to those events alone and he was told to actually socialize with people. Due to these events and Mbeni dragging him along, he was able to associate and meet Cecily, Anastasios, Theo and Simon very early on. Though he didn't speak to King Simon much he did spend quite a bit of time talking to Cecily mainly cause she seemed to cause trouble and seemed to always be near at times.

Moving further more and more special assignments came up until Talos was sent to find out what happened to the group and why they disappeared. Once they made it back he became a permanent member of the group. He also may have a thing for Cecily Raven. Due to a recent incident, Talos became severely injured and had to step down from his duties at Cecily's behest.
Sorcerer

Sorcerers are human descendants of fallen Serafs, capable of channeling Magic. They are exclusively male, though some places in the Good Old World consider consider sorcerers a separate sex altogether due to their feminine, serafic appearances and the ability to bear magic eggs.

## Origin

Sorcerers are the descendants of fallen Serafs, who in turn are direct descendants of Sofia and Solomorn. This makes Sorcerers partially divine, and they are perceived as such in many corners of the Good Old World. Solomorn himself, the first Sorcerer to ever be born, was made the same way; the entire time paradox that revolves around the Sorcerer Saint being his own ancestor and descendant is referred to as Sofia's Loop.

It is unclear why the time loop that facilitated the birth of Sorcerers occured. The more romantic scholars maintain that it was set up by Sofia in order to create her husband, but the goddess has never communicated her intent.

## Appearance

Sorcerers typically inherit features of their divine sires, no matter how many generations there are between them and their fallen Seraf ancestor. Like male Serafs, Sorcerers tend to be feminine in appearance, doll-eyed and relatively short next to other humans. Their hair resembles the hair of male Serafs; while it never grows into wings, it is made of the same fibers, and many Sorcerers inherit their sires' ability to sense through their hair, albeit to a much lesser degree. For this reason, it is uncommon to see a Sorcerer with short hair, as cutting it is often an unpleasant experience.

Beyond their basic physicalities, Sorcerers have their own unique mannerisms and dress-codes in many places of the Good Old World. Most cultures mark them apart as en antirely separate caste or gender and treat them differently than other men or women.
Cobweb

**Cobweb,** also known as Catherine Oberfell, is a member of the Fae.

## History

Little is known about Cobweb at this time, save for Oberon and Peaseblossom having previously confessed to being her parent - though she has confirmed she's the only child that Peaseblossom acknowledges, citing her mother's knowledge of how to kill him as his reason for doing so. Her mother is not currently known to the party.

Relatively young for a fae, Cobweb has demonstrated an aptitude for technology.

## Interactions with the Party

Although Cobweb is not a consistent presence within the party, she has left a significant impression with the few interactions she's had. Her first interaction was during the salon, introducing herself to Lucius and attending the event on his arm. There, she confessed to the reason for her presence: ensuring her father doesn't cause any more trouble. The following morning, she discusses with Lucius how to obtain 'magic' through working with the Fae.

Later, when the party was forging an alliance with the Ebrian Resistance, Cobweb helped Oberon set up the magical video conferencing service both sides would use to communicate with the other.
Natalia

**Natalia** is a member of the Resistance.

## Appearance

Natalia is a young girl with pigtails, black eyes and a bright smile.

## Personality

Natalia is cheerful and willing to help the Resistance as much as she can, often helping Adeline with her daily administrative tasks. She has a girlhood crush on Cade.

## Biography

Little is known about Natalia's history, save for the fact that she was rescued by Cade and the Resistance after she rejected her Vision.
Elina Costas

Growing up on the Northwestern coast of Avinea, Elina's family was quick to pick up on the fact that she was beginning to harbor heretic empathy for Fateless people as a child, and attempted to train it out of her via corporal and spiritual punishment -- resulting in exactly the opposite effect. After rejecting her Vision, she did what she could to keep it from her family until an accident left her with a deep scar across her face, giving her parents cause to make arrangements for her to be "dealt with." A brutal fight, an unconscious father, and an escape later, Elina found herself working for the Resistance with a single focus: to raze the current way of things to the ground. Everything else is a waste of time.
Ephias

**Dr. Ephias King**, referred to as the god *Ephias*, is one of the nine gods in the pantheon; he is the god of invention. Prior to the events of the game, he participated in the Resistance's activities under the alias Micah, where he came to befriend and embark on a relationship with Aletris. He currently resides in the Ducal palace of Ormiers.
Ximena

**Dr. Ximena Reyes**, referred to as the god *Ximena*, is one of the nine gods in the pantheon; she is the goddess of war. It is currently not known if she is alive.

## Appearance

Ximena has short black hair, black eyes, and sharp black nails.

## Personality

Ximena is quick witted and quick to anger; like David, she is considered extreme in her methods.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

As a member of the ABSO team, Ximena participated in the murder of Jennifer Holt-Mason prior to the events of the game, working with David to override Ti-Yo's primary functions to do so. She also worked with Bailey to decide the details of Theo's vision with the hope that the prince would become Fated and kill his older brother.

### Interactions with the Party

Of the gods, Ximena has been among the most active and antagonistic toward the party. While the party was sailing to Veitium, she appeared on the ship to demand that they turn over Simon or face one of Jenny's creations: a kraken. When the party declined, she disappeared but left the kraken behind, nearly destroying the king's ship in the process. Once in Veitium, Ti-Yo warned the party that Ximena viewed their alliance with the Fae as something that necessitated a *scorched earth* response from the gods, promising immense loss of life whether through the famine or through a war to stop it.

Ximena would lay quiet for a few months before acting again, waiting until a few weeks before King Simon's wedding to grant deacons in Astrapolis visions promising danger should the king follow through with the wedding. Although Simon met with the deacons at the cathedral to discuss the matter, they informed him that he would not be permitted to leave until he agreed to marry someone more closely aligned with the gods and allow them to cleanse him of the Fae magic their visions depicted. When the party joined the scene, several of Ximena's priestesses materialized in the cathedral to stage an attack against the party. The party quickly concluded they were outmatched by the battle and, with Simon sustaining near-fatal injuries, retreated.

Some days later, Ximena informed the wider clergy of Aedryan's pregnancy and the dangers that would befall the country as a result. The clergy decided they were going to take drastic measures to put a stop to it, including storming the palace, leading Simon to issue a royal decree to expel all clergy from Trafarna.

The day before the wedding, Ximena seized control of Emily Finch, a noble lady-in-waiting, to attack the party in the palace. Outnumbered and outmatched, the party was able to bring a swift end to the confrontation against the woman; however, it did not deter Ximena's efforts. The following day, Ximena directly involved herself with the party by forcing Aeron Seycilia to have a vision informing him that he would need to kill Aedryan and by engaging the party in a physical altercation where she sustained a fatal blow. Although the party was able to confirm via Ti-Yo that the body left behind was indeed a corpse, Ti-Yo would later confirm that she is "tenuously" alive — But Bailey, acting under David's orders, is attempting to revive her.
Orianakht

Orianakht, also known as the **Great Molting Devil**, is the patron Devil of Nakht.

## History

Like every other Great Devil, Orianakht was seeded by Sofia and birthed by Solomorn. He was the 59th spawn to come out of the Sorcerer Saint's womb and, according to legend, was delivered as a dormant egg, from which the Great Devil later hatched.

Confined within his shell, Orianakht remained a largely inactive force within the Deep Dark Down until the emergence of Eclipse Mars and his Peacock Cults in the Good Old World. Drawn to the sorcerer's immense power, Orianakht sent visions to a peasant woman by the name of **Joanette**, who followed the Great Devil's call and ultimately helped birth him from the crust of the earth at a barren site. Orianakht and Joanette then began the first Holy War against Eclipse Mars, ultimately ending the sorcerer's reign of terror and founding the domain of Nakht. The capital of Avelot was built around the Devil's place of birth.

## Appearance

When manifesting before humans, Orianakht is said to be half-moth, half-man, always shedding and regrowing his skin. Due to this, he leaves a red trail at all times and was given the nickname of the **Great Molting Devil** by the Nakhtish.

Despite his perpetual state of bloody undress, he is said to be delicate and beautiful, bearing the divine features of his sainted father. The language he taught to the people of Nakht reflects his dual nature; it is a mesh of insect clicks and pleasant whirrs.

## Devilkin

Orianakht's summoned children always take on the appearance of bloody moths. They are incapable of heeding commands in any language but **Orikais**, the state tongue of Nakht. They are ill-suited for reconnaissance, as they always leave a trail, and possess little strength. They may, however, reveal astrological patterns and can somewhat reliably predict the emergence of Bodies.
An Uncertain Alliance (Session Summary)

**An Uncertain Alliance** details the events of the November 8, 2020 session where the party meets another new friend and debates striking up a new alliance across the sea.

## Session Notes

* After an eventful (or some might say disastrous) dinner, our party retires for the evening to plot. But perhaps they aren’t the only ones…

* With dinner concluded, Chae and Lucius abscond to a set of palace apartments, and their owner secluded within. He is revealed to be the absentee Lord Enzo, recovering from a bout of travel sickness.

* At his request, the two attendants recount the events of dinner, a tale which raises both alarm and concern in Enzo. But before they can ruminate much further on it, Eli makes a sudden appearance.

* He offers to take the trio to an audience with the King, and leads them to Simon’s rooms where the rest of the party is discussing their options. Though he seems set on some kind of conversation with his aunt, Cecily is arguing very much in opposition to SImon.

* Enzo introduces himself, and after some debate about whether the wedding will continue, it is revealed that he, along with Chae and Lucius, have come to offer an alliance with the Ebrian Resistance.

* Though there is some… suspicion as to the truth of individual motives, one thing seems clear: the Resistance hopes that allying with Trafarna will grant them the might to overturn current practices, and make the Isles a safe place for Fateless. With warnings of the potential danger and more than a few suspicious glances, the party agrees to take the newcomers on.

* Which leaves one last decision: where to go next? The party seems hopeful their new allies will offer some sort of sanctuary at the Resistance’s headquarters in Caebaeum, and no one is eager to see what sort of madness Lilla might try come morning. Add in the the threat of Titania’s arrival with the full moon, and all agreed haste was the best course. But Mbeni is still away, leaving Eli to create a portal as means of a quick escape…
New Old Friends (Session Summary)

**New Old Friends** details the events of the December 13, 2020 session in which the party spends some time with the Ebrian Resistance, and some familiar faces reappear.

## Session Notes

* With the party as recovered as can be from the encounter with Titania, they find themselves with a proper invitation from the Resistance’s leader for a meeting.

* Inside the central building, Chae and Lucius are greeted by familiar faces, who spare no time expressing their excitement to see the pair returned alive. The rest are introduced to the gathered Resistance members, identifying as Ryder, Adeline, Erin, Natalia, Cade, and their leader-for-social-interaction-purposes, Gideon.

* After getting settled with drinks in hand, Ryder explains that the Resistance is struggling with their goal to take back the Isles, due in part to the difficulty of moving about the continent while Fateless. They had hoped that in speaking with Mbeni, she may be able to bring Trafarna’s navy to support their efforts.

* Anastasios accuses them of believing Mbeni might defect and give them the navy’s might. Ryder doesn’t deny it. Chae corrects that as Mbeni is originally from the Isles, they had hoped she may serve as a bridge to gaining Trafarna’s help.

* While everyone is getting their bearings with the situation in the Isles and how Trafarna might assist, Erin shares her latest book recommendations with Lucius.

* Cade questions what goals the Trafarnese party may have that would align with the Resistance. The discussion boils down to a need for allies on both sides, though Simon offers a warning that to ally with Trafarna is to ally with the Fae. Which in turn sparks a revelation for the Resistance that yes, fairies are real. Sort of. To ensure all involved parties are present for further discussions, Chae is sent to retrieve Eli. Much to her chagrin.

* Before the discussion can get any more properly underway, Gideon approaches Sorni and Anastasios. He rather boldly asserts that he would have already married her by now, sparking Anastasios’s anger and Sorni’s complete embarrassment. The circus is brought to a halt by Cecily, who tells Oberon-Gideon that Sorni apologized and he can stop fooling around. Still speaking through Gideon, the Fae leader informs the group they’ll be there in five minutes.

* A brief explanation of which Fae *can* be trusted is had, and the Resistance decides which of its members will represent the cause when the group goes back to Trafarna. With the decision made, the group splits up to pack their belongings for the journey. However, Simon pulls Aedryan aside while Anastasios stands guard to ensure their privacy.

* Out on the balcony, Simon – with only a bit of bumbling – makes his intents to marry Aedryan official, and the two affirm their commitment to each other, in spite of what challenges they may face under the shadow of the Trafarnese crown.
Olethea Conroy

Though Thea was raised in the mountains near Veitium, at her heart, she considers herself Trafarnese. She grew up on her mother, Elspeth's stories while they traveled - stories about both life in Trafarna and her father, Ned Conroy. When her Vision showed her leaving her mother's side to settle in the city, she refused it out of hand and instead took up working for the Resistance as a runner, carrying news, messages, and intel through the mountain passes she knows far better than most.
Schwazbourg

Schwazbourg is a small mountain country west of Moranavia and Nakht. It sits atop vast silver and gemstone deposits, from which Schwazbourg derives much of its great wealth. The local Sorcerers have learned how to utilize the land's many gorges and valleys to amplify their spell-chanting, making them some of the most powerful casters in the known world within their home domain.

## History

Originally a mining colony of Morn, the mountainous region wasn't heavily settled until the fall of Armin Waer from the Sky on High. Traveling miners came to see the Seraf as a spirit of good fortune; this belief was only strenghtened after Armin saved a prospecting expedition from a shaft collapse. The Waer lodge was built in Armin's honor at the mine's location, and the first local town grew around it: Waerberg.

Following a series of deep ventures under Armin's guidance, the miners came upon the source of the mountains' wealth: the Great Devil Vien, whose nest in the Deep Dark Down overlapped tightly with the mountainous underground. The giant devil slug was found burrowing throughout the deep mountains, leaving behind a trail of silver and quartz veins. Word of this discovery was sent to the Mornish king, who demanded the colony abandoned in order to steer clear of the Devil. His command was ultimately disregarded; the expedition leaders decided to stay and declare sovereignty, which was neither acknowledged nor challenged by the Mornish king. Morn gained a familiar trading partner whilst formally cutting itself off of Vien's domain, bearing no responsibility for any coming catastrophe wrought by the Great Devil.

The seemingly inevitable tragedy never occured, however. Largely passive, Vien was content to slither through the mountains, even expressing gratitude at times for the miners' clearing of what he perceived as refuse. Due to their excellent relations with both sides of the divine family, the newly established miner council discarded the Mornish Heathen Law and founded the local religious branch of Solosofism, one of the oldest in the world.
Crafting

Crafting is one of the core activities of the game. It's quite easy - you craft object (house block, roof, grass tile, stairs, bench, etc.) and then place it anywhere you wish, usually to your home plot, to design it according to your wishes!

The main tool that you'll need to craft is the crafting station:

## Crafting process

So how does the crafting look like?

1. At first, **you'll need a blueprint**, so the crafting machine has a proper plan according to which the object will be crafted. You can purchase the blueprints from the Blueprint Merchant in the Village.
2. Start the crafting station and **check, which resources you'll need**.
3. If you don't have enough resources, go and harvest them!
4. **Start the crafting station**, select the desired object and **tap on the button "CRAFT"**.
5. Here you go! Your crafted object can be found in your backpack, in the section called **"home storage"**:

## Objects to be crafted

Here's a short list of the types of the objects that you can currently craft:

* **House Blocks** (house blocks, from which you can build great big houses, roofs, etc.)
* **Shape Blocks** (pillars, stairs, etc.)
* **Tiles** (pavements, grass tiles, etc.)
* **Furniture** (shelves, sofas, etc.)
* **Fun Blocks** (bouncing pillows, conveyor belts, etc.)
* **Decorations** (flower pots, lamps, etc.)

*Wanna get some inspirations on what can be crafted and built? Make sure to follow us on our social media and perhaps your plot will be the next one shown there!*
Of Ice, Ivy, and Gods (Session Summary)

**Of Ice, Ivy, and Gods** details the events of the April 26, 2020 session where the party continues their confrontation with David.

## Session Notes

* Team Aedan (well, Aedan and Victoria) work to destroy the wall that has sprouted where once was a door, desperate to free their trapped teammate Sorni. Thanks to Aedan’s wise suggestion, Victoria begins casting a spell to conjure magical ivy in order to further loosen any loose stones, making it easier to break through. Aedan inspects the wall carefully and finds its weakest spots. Although it takes a few turns and nearly makes her toss her cookies, Victoria is successful, and Sorni is freed from the trapped room.

* They soon join with Aedryan, Clara, and Talos. Talos explains that when he was hit by the breath of the gods in another room, he had a vision: *“I saw a star chart. two rows of four glass cylinders with some frosted over and some that were empty. I also saw Oberon with a few days of stubble and bags under his eyes holding up something with words I couldn't decipher. And probably the worst of it was a saw a women with pink hair in the forest with her arms and clothes covered in blood standing over the body of a noble man.”*

* The party finds another door, and through it a dark staircase to the upper level. Aedan proposes they try to make a torch, so Sorni, Victoria, and Clara work together to create one with great success. Once their path is lit, they ascend.

* At the top of the stairs lies a single door, cold to the touch, the handle frosting over. Clara burns the door down but the group finds only a solid wall of ice on the other side, rippling with the breath of the gods. Clara uses her fire magics yet again, sending the breath hurdling straight towards Talos, Victoria, and Sorni, who all dodge successfully, but Clara is hit and stricken with a bout of nausea and dizziness. However, Talos invokes his precog, ensuring Clara passes her previous check and is now fine.

* They all step carefully into the hallway through the door, only to find everything has been frozen over with a very unnatural frost. In the hallway, they find another door covered with a thin layer of ice. Sorni kicks the door, breaking a significant chunk of the ice, and kicks it again, successfully busting the door open. She enters the new room when suddenly, the breath of the gods, which had been hovering ominously in the center of the room, begins swirling and darts for the doorway Sorni just walked through. Victoria shouts for her and dives through the doorway behind her just as the breath of the gods pulls the door shut behind them. The door bricks over, sealing Sorni and Victoria inside.
Tieve Nolan

**Tieve Nolan** is a spy for the Trafarnese crown, and the younger sister of Alec Nolan.

## Appearance

A lanky woman, Tieve's slim stature lends itself well to being able to slip through places quietly. Similarly, her black hair and pale features often blend in well with her surroundings. The only feature that may catch notable interest are her golden eyes, the left of which has a beauty mark underneath it. She is usually seen with her hair up, and in nondescript dark clothing.

## Personality

Though she often behaves as a bit of a brat, she is serious about her work and has great respect for both Crom and Cyra. Tieve shares very little about herself, though it's hard to tell if this is because she's a private person, or attempting to remain discrete. When she does choose to make comments in a conversation, they're often sarcastic. She makes no secret of her lack of interest in the male species.

## Biography

Little is known about Tieve, because she often shares little herself. Something, something, part of the job. She and her older brother Alec grew up closely together in Bridgegrounds, before they moved elsewhere together.

Players know her as one of the more recent members of the intelligence team assigned to Cleiya.
Cecil Oryx

**Cecil Oryx** is a member of the Royal Court of Trafarna and Lord of House Oryx.

## Appearance

A young man of 16, Cecil has red hair, grey eyes, and glasses.

## Personality

Being a young lord of his house, Cecil is seen as something of a social leader among those around his age. He seems to have taken to the role well, and is eager to prove himself when called upon.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Start of the Game

Orphaned at a young age, Cecil inherited his house seat while still a minor by Trafarnese standards (under 16). He came to the court a few months prior to the start of the game, just after his sixteenth birthday.

### Interactions with the Party

At the request of King Simon, Cecil has made himself available to Coraleigh Seycilia and her brother, ensuring that they have companionship among the court while they grow used to navigating new social waters.
Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather

**Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather,** also known as *The Triplets*, are Titania's handmaidens. As they act almost exclusively on Titania's orders, they are not explicitly allied with the party as other members of the Fae tend to be.

## History

Unfortunately, as the Triplets' identities and appearances have been lost to time, little is known about who them, how they came to know Titania, or their motivations.

## Interactions with the Party

The Triplets tend to move as a unit, appearing and disappearing together, often echoing each other's speech patterns. Their first interaction was with Talos, who had been stealthily following them through *Avalon* while they discussed the goings-on of the party and what should be reported to Oberon. When Talos finally caught up with everyone, the Triplets suggested sparring with the party for their entertainment, which they obliged. Although the party was able to render Flora and Merriweather unconscious, Fauna stood her ground until Peaseblossom put a stop to the fight.

The Triplets wouldn't be seen until quite some time later, when the party passed through the Ebrian Isles: Titania attacked the party and, after finding herself unmatched, she called upon her handmaidens for assistance so that she could flee to safety.

Later, Titania would use the Triplets as collateral in her "game" she set up for the party to find Cecily and Hendry.
Song Reed

Reed is the commander of the Strand's branch of the Trafarnese military. A very no-nonsense woman, with short-cropped black hair and dark brown eyes. Her father is a goldsmith in the Strand, and has been pressuring her for years to leave the military and marry. A woman of few words (and fewer facial expressions), Reed encourages quick-thinking and problem-solving among her soldiers, caring more that problems are solved than the minutiae of how it is done.
Convallaria Majalis (Session Summary)

**Convallaria Majalis** details the events of the August 1, 2021 session where the party meets another new member and Hendry and Miri grow a bit closer.

## Session Notes

* Miri, Hendry, and Stewart travel to Talia Dove’s house to ask whether she would be up for the challenge of handling bookkeeping for House Raven.
* Though Hendry cautions Talia that the task will be difficult, as Lord Raven isn’t particularly interested in handling his responsibilities, she is thrilled by the challenge.
* Hendry suggests heading to House Raven to introduce Talia, who agrees but suggests Hendry and Miri travel in their own carriage to allow the woman time to pack up some of her belongings with the help of Stewart.
* While traveling back to the Raven estate, Hendry asks Miri if she’s courting anyone and is relieved to find out he doesn’t have to compete with anyone for her affections. As he flirts he expresses worry that she may be frightened by him, as many are intimidated by his incredibly high intellect, but Miri assures him that isn’t the case.
* Despite the flirtatious preening, Hendry is still a gentleman: He promises to call on Miri’s father to speak with him on the matter of officially courting her.
* Once the carriages arrive at the Raven estate, Hendry warns the group that things may be awkward due a recent falling out with Cecily — she refused his proposal in Obervayne.
* Cecily greets the group with her usual acidic charm, inquiring about their sudden and unexpected visit. Following a brief introduction to Talia, Cecily asks the woman what she knows about Lord Raven, and echoes Hendry’s previous warnings about Anastasios’s temper with people he doesn’t particularly care for, assuring Talia that the man will not like her.
* Despite the warnings, Cecily offers Talia advice: ingratiate herself to Sorni, expect no help from the king, and seek support from the king’s wife-to-be.
* Cecily also asks Talia for a favor: to try to convince Sorni to marry Anastasios so they can eventually have children, allowing Cecily to be free of House Raven’s responsibilities even after marrying into another one — this prompts Hendry to comment on the state of her relationship with Talos (*“a glorified hitman who follows her around”*), being unaware they intended to marry.
* Talia, ignoring the awkward conversation, promises to do her best but confesses she is not a matchmaker.
* Cecily latches onto the low-hanging fruit, and asks Talia if she has any marriage prospects because, if not, Cecily considers herself something of a matchmaker. Talia vehemently declines.
* With introductions complete, Hendry asks that Cecily give his regards to ~~Talcum~~ Talos, and takes his leave.
* Once gone, Cecily invites Talia for dinner to properly introduce the woman to her brother.

## Additional Information

Convallaria Majalis is the Latin name for the flower, Lily of the Valley. The person taking notes at the time mistook this for the Snowdrop, Miri's favorite flower. Were the title accurate, it'd be *Galanthus Nivalis.* Oops*.*
Adeline

**Adeline** is the Quartermaster of the Resistance.

## Appearance

Adeline is a young woman with shoulder-length black hair and grey eyes.

## Personality

Although she is considered to be very motherly with those living at HQ, she doesn't suffer anyone's nonsense and is quick to offer seemingly-idle hands work.

## Biography

Little is known about Adeline prior to the events of the game. Her interactions with the party have largely been keeping everyone in line: ensuring HQ is clean, people are fed, and everyone is on their best behavior.

When Chae and the Trafarnese army arrive, Adeline is initially interested in meeting Prince Theo in the hope that a relationship may blossom between them, but those hopes were quickly dashed when she realizes that he's unavailable. Fortunately, Lucius was waiting in the wings to endear himself to her, and she agreed to go on a date with him.
Zachary

**Zachary** is a member of the Ebrian Resistance.

## Appearance

As a young boy, he is well on his way to growing into a standard-issue Ximacen man of over 6' in height; however, he isn't there quite yet. He has shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes.

## Personality

Having been smuggled to the Resistance shortly after his tenth birthday, Zachary seems to be introverted but quick to help out around Resistance HQ.

## Biography

Zachary had his vision when he was ten years old and made the choice to become Fateless. Shortly after doing so, his family smuggled him out of the country to join the Resistance and has lived there ever since. He has since developed a brotherly relationship with Gideon, worshipping him like a younger brother would an older brother. He largely keeps to himself and has not made many appearances yet among the party.
Cyra Margolis

Born in Trafarna's capital, Cyra wasted no time enlisting in and steadily working her way through the lower ranks of Trafarna's military. After demonstrating relatively decent skills with covertly gathering information and playing whatever angle she needed to get a given job done, she was assigned to act as a spy in Cleiya.

Although slipping into various roles comes easy, Cyra's social battery is quite low and she protects her recharge time as fiercely as she protects gathered intel. As such, she makes no effort to be charming when she isn't working, choosing instead to conserve her energy for assignments. Unfortunately, her current assignment playing Crom's doting wife is proving to be the ultimate test for the introvert's patience.
Ryder

**Ryder** is the leader of the Ebrian Resistance.

## Appearance

Like most male-presenting characters in Ximacen, Ryder is a tall man, over 6'. He has long braids, brown eyes, and stubble.

## Personality

Ryder is steadfast and dedicated leader, putting the needs of the Resistance above most other endeavors and, as such, is irritated with the number of people who have begun treating it like a social group and claims that relationships are too messy and distracting. According to Gideon, Ryder has "the social skills of a brick."

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

Ryder took up leadership in the Resistance following the previous leader's passing. Prior to the events of the game, he made the decision to ally with Gideon, which brought in more supplies and infrastructure to the resistance.

### Interactions with the Party

Ryder initially made the decision to send Lucius and Chae to Veitium to meet the Party when they were attending the Veitian princess' wedding in an effort to recruit Mbeni to assist the Resistance's efforts. When the party shows up with the King to discuss the goings-on with the Fae, the Gods, and the impending war, Ryder permits Lucius and Chae return with the party to Trafarna.

Later, when offered a full alliance with Trafarna under the condition that the Isles become a Trafarnese protectorate, Ryder was initially uncertain but ultimately relents in order to bolster the Resistance's efforts.

Shortly after Chae arrives with Theo and the Trafarnese army and, although he is initially distrustful of Theo, Ryder admits that he trusts Chae and is willing to follow their lead. Ryder also met with Mbeni and her navy, finding her to be more intimidating than her reputation let on.

He eventually helps the party determine where they will begin to make their first moves, deciding on Borsonne.

When Ephias attacks the party, Chae urges Ryder to assist and he is quick to do so, assisting the group in their attempt to thwart his attempt at kidnapping Thea. Although they were able to keep Thea from being taken, Ephias was successful in taking Al instead. Ryder ordered Al's return to be prioritized over all else. As part of the group's efforts to rescue Al, Chae insisted that Ryder stay behind at the Resistance's Headquarters in the event additional attacks occurred.

## Relationships

Despite the Resistance not being a social club, Ryder has managed to forge some relationships with various members of it:

* **Gideon**
	+ Gideon co-leads the Resistance with Ryder. Although Ryder has described Gideon as being dumber than a box of rocks, the two seem to regard each other like brothers.

* **Mbeni**
	+ Thanks to the tales of Mbeni's achievements in battle, Ryder had a passing interest in Mbeni. When he meets her, he notes that she's far more intimidating than he expected.
* **Adeline**
	+ When Adeline and Lucius were discussing details of their dinner date, Ti-Yo noted a shift in Ryder's emotional state, suggesting that Ryder may have been jealous or angry due to his own romantic interest in Adeline.
Aneid Sparrow

Aneid is a distant cousin of King Simon, but still recognized as part of the family. His branch of the House has ruled The Strand for generations. Aneid himself is a bookworm and someone eccentric, but generally well-meaning. Though he *is* Fated, he has chosen to put his faith in Simon's choices rather than the Gods. He takes a generally positive view of the Fateless, finding them endlessly entertaining, and entertainment is something the Strand needs desperately.

He tends to leave matters of security up to Captain Song, though he often pesters her for reports for his amusement. He's known to frequent the Docks, the Merchant's district, though there are rumors that sometimes he likes to slum it and go to bars in the Miner's district.
Cecily Raven

Art by Ahro

**Cecily Conroy** of House Raven, stylized as **Cecily Raven**, is a member of the Royal Court of Trafarna and twin sister of Anastasios.

## Appearance

Cecily is a short woman of approximately 5', has red curly hair and green eyes. She favors black, lacy dresses and often eschews other colors.

## Personality

The subject of much anger, jealousy, and gossip in the royal court, Cecily is considered cold and prickly by most of the nobility, with a vicious streak a mile wide. She can be extremely cruel, often for petty reasons — which are ignored or outright rewarded by King Simon and Lord Anastasios. She was despised by the traditionalists until Simon's unexpected decision to marry Aedryan and their opinions of Cecily changed almost overnight. Cecily finds the Traditionalists' desire to use her as a bat against the new Queen even more tasteless than their previous derision. After the King declared his intentions for Aedryan, Anastasios tried to arrange a marriage between Cecily and Lord Julian Hendry, but Cecily shot that down.

Although she is attached to Talos, she has too much pride to admit to it and is waiting for him to do something more — she just won't tell him what that something is.

### Abilities

Cecily is gifted/cursed with precognition, and believed that it was her destiny to die to stop Titania from seizing complete control of Avalon. She can sense the presence of the gods, with the Breath of the Gods actively making her ill.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Start of the Game

As the half-fae daughter of Titania and Calvin Conroy, Cecily never had a Vision as expected of most fully-human citizens of Ximacen. Instead, she began having Visions when she was approximately five years old, events foretelling situations which would not only affect her but others as well. Thanks to her precognitive abilities, she believed it was her fate to die at the age of 25 while helping stop Titania from seizing control of Avalon.

Shortly after Simon rejected his vision, he was sent to live with Cecily and Anastasios in Halcythorn, where the two became friends. Although Cecily and Simon would eventually begin to have feelings for one another, Cecily would keep Simon at arm's length to spare him from later heartache.

### Interactions with the Party

There are 2,200 references to Cecily in the chatlog for me to review against my notes. This is going to be the workiest work in progress that ever worked in progress.
An Agent and a Spectacle (Session Summary)

**An Agent and a Spectacle** details the events of the May 2, 2021 session where the party meets up to discuss how to deal with the gods' plans, but a visitor from another country throws yet another wrench into the works.

## Session Notes

* While on their way back from their respective investigations, Chae and Sorni run into each other. Chae informs Sorni about her interactions with Peaseblossom and Puck, which tracks with Sorni’s discovery.
* Although everyone agrees that dealing with Puck is the last thing everyone needs, everyone seems reassured that neither Puck nor Peaseblossom believe the plans to start the war early will work.
* The group decides to relay this information to Simon and Aedryan, and find them dealing with a final petitioner at court: Cleiyan Ambassador Niklaus Peck — a man Simon had sent home prior to Eneuli’s wedding.
* Peck explains his reasoning for having returned to Trafarna: the Cleiyan King has been having dreams that priests have allegedly ‘confirmed’ to be messages from the Gods which suggest that Simon is Fateless. Peck has been tasked with confirming the Gods’ message, and is not to return to Cleiya until he has done so.
* Aedryan and the ambassador trade barbs, ultimately leaving Peck on the defensive. Rather than leave Peck to fend for himself outside of Trafarnese land, Aedryan offers Peck to stay with the court — with Simon reminding him he’s on thin ice.
* The group departs for private quarters and discusses the situation at hand: in order to keep the rumor of Simon’s status as Fateless from swirling and causing further unrest, Simon will need to be injured and healed by the Breath of the Gods in public.
* Chae asks Ti-Yo whether he can assist with this, and he declines as he is not able to interfere with Fateless individuals. The question then turns to whether a member of the Fae could help instead.
* Anastasios suggests having a Fae pretend to be Simon, as Avalon will heal them and it will seem like the Breath of the Gods interfered. The group makes plans to reach out to Oberon and Eli to gauge their interest.
* Though Simon is amenable to the idea, he says it would be suspicious to disprove the claim on the same day, and suggests waiting.
Bailey

**Dr. Johnathan Bailey**, referred to as the god *Bailey*, is one of the nine gods in the pantheon; he is the god of knowledge.

## Appearance

Bailey is likely a tall man, over 6', with short red hair, blue eyes, and glasses.

## Personality

Little has been revealed about Bailey's personality, except that he seems to be a fairly even-tempered individual with a focus on observation and research over chasing emotion. He does seem to have little patience for those who question his methods, though he has also demonstrated a willingness to help when asked.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

As a historian on the ABSO team, Dr. Bailey determined the world is on the brink of an industrial revolution and concluded that a widespread calamity would help trigger it. As a result, he issued an order to wipe out 34-47% of the current population.

### Interactions with the Party

Although Dr. Bailey has said his interests are within the original mission to see the people uplifted to join the rest of humanity, his allegiances and motivations are something of a question mark. The party's first experience involving him occurred while accompanying Chae to Avalon to receive her forge and were treated to a reenactment of King Simon's vision. In response to the king's rejection, the party was shown Dr. Bailey suggesting killing the man in favor of raising up his brother, Theo, citing that it would be easier to rally support behind a new king than waiting 60 years to enact the ABSO team's plans.

The party would encounter Dr. Bailey in person some time later in Astrapolis's cathedral while fighting against its priests. Although he was initially keen to observe the altercation so he could take notes and update his predictions, he approached the party and offered his assistance to heal Simon by allowing the *Breath of the Gods* to tend to his wounds.

Approximately one month later, following another encounter in the cathedral, Ximena would refer to Bailey as a traitor upon realizing she was on the receiving end of a fatal attack, but Ti-Yo would later confirm that Bailey is working to resuscitate her under David's orders.
