Feral'ssin is a lightly built drowolath with long blue hair. Like many of his clan, he has mismatched eyes; with one eye blue and the other grey.

## Biography

 File:Feralssin.jpg
He first appeared during the meeting of the male headmasters of Orthorbbae, where Kel'noz revealed Ariel's true gender and his desire to have her nature hidden from those outside of the tower's walls. Feral'ssin did not outright oppose the idea, but commented that it was likely that the truth would eventually be uncovered by the other teachers and students. Kel'noz replied that her fellow students were forbidden from leaving their towers for five years, while entrusting his peers with preventing their masters from revealing the truth if it became known. As the matter was put to the vote, Feral'ssin voted in favour, trusting Kel'noz to control the situation. Ultimately, the vote passed and Ariel was allowed to remain in the male section of the school.

## Notable Quotes

"*Even if we keep this a secret, I'm sure the other students and teachers will discover the truth eventually.*" - Expressing some concerns over Kel'noz's plan to host Ariel in the male section of Orthorbbae.

Locust

## Family

* Skwerk - Descendant

Chu was a Locust Queen recused by Vaelia during the extermination of its Hive, after which it bonded with her and aided her in her travels.

## Appearance & Personality

Chu is a small Locust Queen with pale green eyes. She has short brown hair drawn into a crude ponytail and wears a simple white dress sewn together roughly with basic materials. Like all locusts, she has limited intelligence and is largely incapable of speech, but she is able to understand and show a level of gratitude toward those that show her kindness. She also shows a great level of concern for her eggs.

 File:ChuOpensDoor.png
## Biography - Arc I

Chu first appears shortly after Vaelia's induction into the Highland Raiders. Two days after departing from Machike, the Raiders find of their storage depots completely overrun by Locusts and begin to exterminate the hive with fire sorcery. In the ensuing destruction, Vaelia notices the locusts' attempts to protect the small dirt mound in which Chu was taking refuge. As Kai'to notes the large size of her find, he prepares to kill Chu as part of the extermination, but is prevented from doing so by Vaelia, who throws herself on top of the "Earth Spirit" to protect it. This act irritates Kai'to and his fellow raiders, who consider it foolishness. As some of the raiders resent the inclusion of a goblin in their ranks, Vaelia is locked in the depot as punishment, as she would be unable to activate the door mechanism without the use of mana. As Vaelia attempts to locate an alternate exit, Chu returns with a large egg, and Vaelia delicately places the small creature in one of her pockets for its safety. As Vaelia struggles futilely to pry the doors open, Chu notices the door mechanism and activates it with mana, greatly surprising Vaelia and freeing them both. Returning with her new companion to the raiders as a Iwan prepares to lead a small team to Emberi islands, Vaelia volunteers to serve as a translator for the expedition.

 File:LocustHivesMachike.png
## Legacy

Chu's bond with Vaelia would ultimately secure the future of her hive. As time passed, her descendants would continue to accompany Vaelia and her own children, who viewed the creatures as Earth Spirits due respect and protection. In return, the hive would aid Vaelia in their own ways, primarily with their crude mana manipulation. Without their help, Vaelia would have been unable to remain a functional member of the Raiders. In time, as Vaelia helped establish a multiracial surface settlement above Machike, the locusts would come to be considered a useful and welcome part of the fae-goblin community, even being allowed to develop hives and burrows within the the town itself.

## Notable Quotes

"*Chu!*" - Her limited vocalizations earn her name from Vaelia.

Moonless Age Cameo Character

Drowolath

* Enjoys juggling.

Gau'hara is an independent researcher living in Shashi.

## Appearance & Personality

Gau'hara is a tall female drowolath with silver eyes. She dyes her hair purple and styles it into a long thick ponytail. As with many of the Jaal'darya clan, she has extensive body modifications, adding two additional arms that allow her to work with greater efficiency on delicate mechanical components. She is a rather severe and pragmatic individual, and has a begrudging tolerance of her more enthusiastic coworker. She prioritizes her work above politics, avoiding such where possible. She wears a fine red sari with gold trim, as well as plain white pants.

## Biography - Arc III

Gau'hara first appears in Shashi, as Vual'raisa leads Kau into their golem workshop as she is fabricating a component for a prototype golem capable of limited flight. Though Vual'raisa cheerfully informs Kau of the golem's capabilities, Gau'hara is quick to assert that it is merely a prototype; and a dangerous one at that, rapidly draining a drow of their mana.

## Notable Quotes

## Biography

Afae was a member of Sene'kha's search party for the demon shard Discordia. Before the shard could be apprehended, Afae was pulled into a large conflict between Sene'kha's group and a Val'Kyorl'solenurn patrol lead by Ky'ovarde Val'Kyorl'solenurn.

She squared off against Ae'theriss and Ano'toti Val'Kyorl'solenurn, delivering several sneak attacks from underground before being drawn into the open. The young Kyorls eventually overwhelmed her, and she was left dead on the cavern floor.

* Kau - Brother
* Sil'nua - Brother
* Kismel - Brother

Cal'idan is a Sharen renegade of Sil'lice's line. He is young and excitable, and ready to slay the Vels.

## Appearance and Personality

Cal'idan is a short male drowolath with a lean build and purple eyes. He has short black hair left largely unstyled. He wears simply steel armor adorned only with a simple purple scarf. His preferred weapon is a longsword paired with a round shield.

He has an outwardly cheerful demeanor that masks a grim and rather vindictive worldview. His mind is analytical and focused, but also sternly uncompromising. He is entirely unforgiving of the Sharen that did not go into exile alongside his mother, believing any that remained as deserving little more than death.

## Biography - Arc III

Cali'dan had joined his mother and sister Kadara to witness Sharess emerge from the preservation tank, much to his great wonder. As he helped steady the ancient dokkalfar, Cali'dan muses that this moment is historic--a living deity had chosen to reappear after a millenium. Kadara sees opportunity in using Sharess' authority to reclaim Sil'lice's honor. Sil'lice herself held doubts about the legitimacy of who inhabited their ancestor's body, and to Cali'dan's shock she demanded they identify themselves with her weapon aimed at Sharess.

The living deity only shook her head and relied that she could not remember; Cali'dan was quick to quiz Sharess about any memories of the Netherworld until the woman calls out to Sil'lice as her own child. In truth, Diva had inhabited the body and was struggling with the surge of memories within her grand aunt's body, and her daughter Sil'lice understood that the moving body could really be her Empress mother. The four of them are then interrupted by by Kismel to warn of the Sarghress army marching on the Vel'Sharen council dome.

## Notable Quotes

Alongside Ron'nae were several fellow members of his Order; Wardens Ky'ovarde and Mili'ani, Templars Sang'oro and Ron'nae, and Inquisitor Ae'theriss. The group was also accompanied by Inquisitor Desmonde of the Order of the Holy Eye, whose task was to ensure the mission remained focused solely on eliminating the Vloz'ress and did not target other factions that might also be encountered.

### After the Mission

Ano'toti would later enter a relationship with Ae'theriss, having bonded during their travels. Though Ae'theriss was prone to forgetting to eat, Ano'toti insisted he would be there to remind her to eat more.

## Extra Arc - Vaelia's Past

She was beaten and exiled by her own people, and with revenge burning in her heart she directed a passing fae slaver to her village. She came to her senses far too late, and by then her home was destroyed and her people were in chains. When she tried to intervene, she was taken prisoner as well.

She was then sold to the Black Dragon Tavern, where she was found and purchased by Ariel. Her regret still weighs heavy on her conscience, and so she stands by Ariel to balance her bad karma.

Frehling

*Appeared in chapters*                                    34

Drowolath

* Best known for his romance novels.

Frehling is an independent wordweaver, or author, that accompanied Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol as they traveled to Nuqrah'shareh.

## Appearance & Personality

Frehling is a male drowolath of thin build with purple eyes. He wears his hair shoulder-length and undyed, styled into a rough ponytail. He dresses plainly, wearing a simple brown tunic over a tan shirt and trousers. Perhaps his most notable feature is his ornate set of multi-lensed spectacles.

He is a very cheerful and optimistic individual, with an easygoing and playful nature. This is perhaps owed in part to his status as a neutral author, allowing him to witness and record events of political importance without himself becoming drawn into them. Though much of his work is scholarly in nature, he is best known for his romantic novella, and he displays a keen interest in any source of salacious gossip that might provide material for his writings.

## Biography - Arc II

### Journey to Nuqrah'shareh

Frehling first appeared in the company of Chrys'tel, as Zala'ess led a large contingent of Sharen forces to forge an alliance with the Illhar'dro of Nuqrah'shareh. Assessing the situation, Chrys'tel spoke of the traditional strengths of Nuqrah'shareh; namely it's relative unity and highly defensible location in the underworld making it a near-insurmountable bastion against invaders. Grimly, Chrys'tel noted that these strengths now worked against her people as the Sharen rode to aid Queen Nega'fanea against a rebellion led by Balsii. Riding at her side, Frehling cheerfully remarked on the historic nature of the war, and of the opportunity for legendary deeds in the coming battles. His easygoing exuberance was not matched by the young overseer, and she reaffirmed the great risks her clan undertook in Zala'ess' efforts to secure an alliance. Despite her misgivings, he remained optimistic, happily recording her opinions and observations into his journal.

### Juicy Gossip

At some point during their travels, the topic of conversation moved to Nau'kheol and his potential love life. Though Frehling was eager for any details, Chrys'tel defended her brother from further harassment, insisting the two received enough pressure from their mother for grandchildren enough as it was. Unperturbed, Frehling simply shifted his inquiries onto her own love life, much to Chrys'tel's irritation.

## Notable Quotes

"*Aren't my love stories the most famous? I would **immortalize** his **love** and **passion** with my writing!*" - Offering to pen a novel detailing Nau'kheol's romantic life.

She readily accepts the dismembered remains of civilian protesters from Saryth to use as wolf-feed. Their callous disregard for the lives of civilians earns the pair a strong rebuke from Koil'dorath. They continue to watch from their post as the meeting takes place.

Shortly thereafter, she is one of the many overtaken during the Puppeteer Incident orchestrated by Ni'bai. After the control is broken, she is among those that help drive back the demon god before a formal peace is brokered between the Sarghress and the Sharen alliances.

She is next seen alongside Saryth, undertaking a brutal interrogation/torture of Nir'naya. Despite a severe beating, Nir'naya remains stubbornly silent, so Gaes restrains her while Saryth mutilates the former Guard-Captain by severing her left ear.

### Sarghress Civil War

Gaes and the rest of her squad were sent by Suu'be to extract Quain'tana's grandchildren from their quarters before they could be retrieved by Sang's followers, preferably alive. When Jiv'kyn opened the door and announced that the children were dead, the squad pursued him while Faen slipped out with the kids and ran for their lives. Gaes nearly caught Faen, when they found themselves stumbling across Quain'tana's standoff with Suu'be. They promptly gave up the extraction attempt once the Ill'haress took Faen and the children under her protection.

Later, the squad was ordered to assist with the search for the escaped Laele'aell, eventually finding her kneeling alone in a corridor and surrounded by fallen sealers. Sensing something was wrong, Saryth demanded that Gaes kill her. Gaes was happy to comply, insisting that she wanted Quain's own blood as a trophy, and struck down Laele with a fatal blow to the head. After Saryth admitted that she had felt the corruption pouring off of the former heir, Laele's demons manifested, having been freed from her body with her death. The demon quickly consumed the nearest sources of mana, which happened to be Saryth, Awdri, Ulbaga, Gaes and one last unfortunate sealer.

He is a confident and flirtatious individual, with a playfully smug demeanor that invites response. He has tendencies towards thrill-seeking, rushing headlong into combat with gusto and bravado.

Witnessing Kyo'nne engaged by one of Snadhya'rune's Feldian soldiers, he leapt down to her floater and added his own voice to the countersong, overwhelming the enemy singer and throwing her from her own floater to the streets below.
