**The Order of Mankind** is an order dedicated to stopping the opposing Order of Godhood. They wish to achieve world peace and security. Their leader is a man named Mick Foley, or Mankind. The Order's main headquarters was once Yale University, but, it was eventually attacked by Crash Bandicoot, a former student of their most intelligent professor (Waluigi). Out of the 300 students there, only a handful remained in the end. Crash was made a god, by the ancient, powerful deity Iqthglatulicphtegis. This all occurred in the year 1399. In 1400, they relocated to Harvard University.

## History

The Order of Mankind was established on May 12, 1397. At this time, Mick Foley was 26. The Order of Godhood had began publicly executing people at this time, hanging whole families in the street because one member stole. Mick did not have the motivation to start a rebellion until his family was scheduled to be hanged. This was due to the fact that his son stole a loaf of bread. His family was starving at that point, so they were desperate. Mick decided to fight back the royal guards (composed of RoboCops) and he and his family made a successful escape. They relocated to Connecticut, where they met Dr. Professor Waluigi, the owner and founder of Yale University. The date at this time was May 8th, 1397. He had thought about creating a rebellion, but didn't have the power to do it. Mick offered to round up veterans he knew from the Army of Godhood, who had fought to keep peace and justice on the planet. Little did they know, they were only mere pawns to the master plan of Liam. So, Mick contacted OmniCorp, who had been creating RoboCops for the Godhood. He asked OmniCorp's leader at the time, Dick Kickem. Dick was afraid of the tyranny of the old gods. He wanted to abandon them, but was too afraid. Mick said if the RoboCops fought in the name of the rebellion, they might have a chance at winning. Dick agreed, and withdrew RoboCops from the Godhood's capital city, Transylvania. So, on the day of May 12th, 1397 it was made official. The Order of Mankind had been created. The gods were furious, all except for Bjork and Jimmy, who would be secretly rooting for The Order of Mankind. At some point, Jimmy eventually would betray his deity brethren to join mankind in their quest to restore balance to the earth.
Eclipse

Eclipse by PhantomRin

**Eclipse** was a shadow daemon, who wore the guise of a female wolf. Eclipse was the passenger of the Darkin Lord Cassius, the former head of the Red Church. When Cassius was killed during the Luminatii assault on the Quiet Mountain, Eclipse bound herself to Mia Corvere instead, whom she served faithfully. She was killed near the end of the third book, after trying to save Jonnen from being taken by his father.

## Trivia

* It is unknown how Cassius came up with the name Eclipse, considering an eclipse is not possible during nevernight, as there are three suns and no moon.
Wavewaker

**Wavewaker** is a former gladiatii of the Remus Collegium. He had been a doorman for a theater in his former life even though he likes to call himself a thespian, as he was set to take part in a play. It is unknown how exactly Wavewaker came into slavery, but he ultimately gained a spot in Leona Remus's collegium.

## Appearance

As an adult Dweymeri male, Wavewaker stands tall, with dark locks, knotted by salt and a plaited beard. Mia Corvere notes his typical facial tattoos as beautiful.

## Trivia

* Wavewaker has a beautiful baritone voice and likes to sing songs he learned from his brief time at the theater.
Niah

Niah by Monolime

Sisterwife of Aa, **Niah** rules a lightless region of the hereafter known as the Abyss. She and Aa initially shared the rule of the sky equally. Commanded to bear her husband only daughters, Niah eventually disobeyed Aa's edict and bore him a son. In punishment, she was banished from the skies by her beloved, allowed to return only for a brief spell every few years.

## In The Itreyan Mythos

In all religions, there must be an adversary. An evil for a good. A black for a white. For folk of the Republic, this role is filled by Niah, Goddess of Night, Our Lady of Blessed Murder, sisterwife to Aa, also referred to as the Maw.

In the beginning, Niah and Aa's marriage was a happy one. They made love at dawn and dusk, then retired to their respective domains, sharing rule of the sky equally. Fearing a rival, Aa commanded Niah bear him no sons, and dutifully, the Night bore the Light four daughters~ Tsana, the Lady of Fire, Keph, the Lady of Earth, and finally the twins Trelene and Nalipse, the Ladies of the Oceans and Storms, respectively. However, Niah missed her husband in the long, cold hours of darkness, and to alleviate her loneliness, she chose to bring a boychild into the world. The Night named her son Anais.

Aa, however, was outraged at his wife's disobedience. As punishment, Niah was banished from the sky. Feeling betrayed by her husband, Niah vowed vengeance against Aa, and has not spoke to him since. Aa is still sulking about the whole affair.

As for their son, Anais, his fate remains a mystery.

It is said that it was during the first Great Tithe that Aa gifted his daughters dominion over the elements. To Tsana, his firstborn, he gave the rule of fire. To Keph, the earth. To Trelene, the oceans. Nalipse, the storm. In return, the daughters gave their father their love and obedience.

It's said Niah gave her daughters nothing, for the Maw has naught inside to give. But these are falsehoods spat by the ministers of Church of Light.

To Keph, Niah gave dreams, to keep her company in her eternal slumber. To Trelene, she gave enigma; the deep dark of the waters beyond the sunslight. To Nalipse, she gave calm; the peace of the storm's eye.

And Tsana? Her firstborn who so despised her?

To Tsana, Goddess of Fire, Niah gave hunger.

Hunger unending.

## Worship

Worship of her is largely outlawed in the Itreyan Republic. She was once widely worshiped in Yiisir at its height. She is largely worshipped by the Red Church in secret, but due to the influence of Scaeva the Church has lost their worship of her in favor of money.

## Appearance

She has midnight black hair and eyes, white skin, wears a dress and elbow long gloves made from the night sky. When she presents herself to mortals, she wears the faces of their mothers. When she is angry, she sheds her mortal face, and takes the form of a tentacled monster, which is where the name the Maw comes from. She often carries a pair of scales.
Acolyte

The term **Acolyte** describes a novice who trains to become a Blade of The Red Church. Still, there is no guarantee to become one, as they can also become servants called Hands if they're not ranking good enough in the final tests.

Trelene

The goddess **Trelene** is the thirdborn daughter of Aa and Niah, and the twin of Nalipse.

## In the Itreyan Mythos

It is said that during the first Great Tithe, Aa gifted his four daughters dominion over the elements. To his thirdborn, to Trelene, he gifted control of the oceans, and in return, Trelene gave her father her love and obedience.

It's said Niah gave her daughter nothing, for the Dark has nothing to give. But this is a lie.

To Trelene, she gave enigma; the deep dark of the waters beyond the sunslight.

## Worship

Trelene is the primary goddess and patron of the Isles of Dweym.
Pigfiddler

Pigfiddler, supposedly, was one of the most infamous Dweymeri pirates to ever live, known for... fiddling with pigs. He terrorized farmers from Stormwatch to Dawnspear for almost ten years and boasted a three-hundred iron bounty upon his end near the end of his life. In the words of Mia Corvere, "*no hog was safe.*" That is, until Pigfiddler was finally captured by the Luminatii, and "*their swords did to his face what he did to the pigs.*"
Turn

The "turn" is the term Itreyans use to mark a cycle of sleep and waking.

Though sadly lacking in darkness, most citizens of Itreya still require sleep, and regardless of season, the change from waking hours is marked by a turn in Itreya's weather.

As Nevernight approaches, approaches, winds pick up from the westward oceans and howl across the Republic, bringing a merciful temperature drop in their wake. As it's easier to sleep in cooler times, this turn is taken by most as a signal to hit the pillow, hay, or flagstones, depending on their state of inebriation. The winds die slowly, rising again perhaps twenty-four hours later. It is said they are a gift form Nalipse, the Lady of Storms, who takes mercy upon a land and people scorched by her Father's almost constant light.

There are seven "turns" to a week, three and one half hundred turns in a seasonal year. An oddity of language, to be sure, but a necessary one in a land where actual *days* last two and half years at a time, and birthday parties are an indulgence that only the wealthiest, and the ageless, might afford.
Isles of Dweym

The **Isles of Dweym** are a collection of isles under the dominion of Itreya.

## History

At the beginning of *Nevernight*, it is mentioned that the Isles of Dweym were conquered by the Itreyan Republic a century previous.

## Heritage

Legend has it the Dweymeri tribes were descended from the daughters of giants who bred with silver-tongued men, but the logistics of this legend fail under any true scrutiny.
The Tragedy of Pythias and Prospero

**The Tragedy of Pythias and Prospero** is a saga penned by the famous bard Talia. Though banned by the ministry of Aa, it remains one of the oldest and most renowned plays in history, predating the Itreyan Kingdom by centuries. The play is based on an ancient myth and is set in the time before The Mother of Night had been banished from the Itreyan sky.

It follows the adventures of two lovers: Pythias, captain of the guard, and Prospero, son of the Sorcerer King, who are separated by Prospeo's father when he learns of the affair. Pythias is banished to the far corners of the earth, and in their quest to be reunited,the pair conquers armies, nations, and finally the Sorcerer King himself to be together again.

Sadly, when a tale has the word 'tragedy' in the title, it's probably folly to expect a happy ending; Pythias is poisoned in the final confrontation. Dying in his lover's arms, he delivers a stirring speech on the enduring power of hope, fidelity, and love - widely regarded as the finest monologue ever put to vellum. Prospero, inheritor of his father's magiks, sets his lover's body in the heavens as a constellation, and names it in his honor.

Though banned by the Ministry, and most copies of it destroyed in the The Bright Light book burning of 27PR, Pythias's monologue is still quoted in modern times. A few complete versions of the play are rumoured to exist in secret - handwritten from memory by actors who performed it, or secreted away from the puritans of Aa's church. The copies are rare, however, and have almost become a myth among Itreyan theater groups. Any actor claiming to have read one is more likely just a lying tosser.
Gravebone

**Gravebone** is a material found in the Itreyan Republic—more precisely only the Ribs and Spine at the heart of Godsgrave. It is said to be chiseled from the bones of some long-fallen titan It is light as wood, yet harder than steel, and the secrets of working it are lost—or at least tightly guarded by The Iron Collegium. Even if an enterprising thief had the tools to chisel off a chunk, defacing any part of the Ribs or Spine is a crime punishable by crucifixion.

Gravebone weapons and armor are highly prized as a result. But possession of any item made of the wondrous substance is a sign of prestige and wealth, and the Itreyan nobility were infamous hoarders of the stuff. Before the rebellion that killed her husband, Queen Isabella, wife of Francisco XV, was an ardent collector of gravebone curios—it was said she was amassing the baubles in the hopes of opening a museum for “the little people,” as she so fondly termed Godsgrave’s citizens.

Her collection of gravebone trinkets included letter openers, shoehorns, teething rings, a multitude of hairbrushes, combs, and pins, a seventy-four-piece dinner set, and a dozen “marital aids” commissioned by at least seven different Itreyan queens.

Due to its once-living state, it is able to travel through the blood pools of The Red Church.

## Known Gravebone Items

* The Ribs
* The Spine
* The Crown of the Moon
* Mia's dagger
* Mia's sword
* Mercurio's cane sword
* Luminatii armor
* Crown of the Itreyan kings
* Tric's dual swords
Beggar King's Piazza

A place in Godsgrave.

## Part in the Chronicle

The piazza is featured at the very beginning of *Nevernight* as the meeting place of Mia Corvere and her Shahiid Mercurio after the former accomplished her first kill. They met beneath a marble arch and said their farewells as Mia prepared to embark upon her journey to Ashkah and begin her training at the Red Church.
Harbormaster of Godsgrave

The **Harbormaster of Godsgrave** is one of the most powerful titles in the entire city. Many years back, the role was appointed by the city's administratii, but the profits generated by controlling what comes in and out of the 'Grave by sea didn't escape the notice of the local braavi - the thieves, extortionists, and thugs that constitute Godgrave's organized criminal element.

Murder was rife, and harbormasters were dropping faster than a groom’s pantaloons on his wedding eve. It was Julius Scaeva who suggested the gangs themselves be allowed to appoint the role — a stroke of political genius that earned him favor with the city’s merchants (who just wanted their bloody shipments to arrive on time), the braavi (who were getting rather tired of having to neck a new harbormaster every few weeks), and the administratii (who were, by that stage, having trouble finding anyone fucking stupid enough to take the job).

After discussion among the gangs, the new harbormaster was appointed, the murders stopped, and everyone settled back to the business of making barrowloads of money—including Julius Scaeva, who had, in a further stroke of genius, decided the harbormaster’s office should pay a one percent tithe of all profits to the consul’s chair.
Little Liis

The Liisian quarter of Godsgrave. Mia Corvere describes it as "*squalid and overcrowded*", poverty written in the crumbling stonework. The canal waters run high in Little Liis, consuming the lower floors of most building. Palazzos of unadorned brick, rusting to a dark brown, litter the water's edge.

Little Liis sits on the southwest of Godsgrave, below the Hips near the Bay of Butchers, and was skirted by Godsgrave's abattoirs and various sewer outflows. The stench was nauseating. It had been compared to "*a burst belly covered in horseshit and burning human hair, three turns rotted in the truelight*".

## The Liisian Market

Above the canal's reek, masking the horrific stench of the waste of Godsgrave, is the perfume of the Liisian marketplace - the toast-warm aroma of fresh baked breads, tarts, and sugardoughs, alongside the buoyant scents of the rooftop gardens. A broad piazza, lined on all sides by stalls and stores, filled with the bustle and murmur of hundreds of folk, Mia Corvere described its scent as "*the most extraordinary smell she'd ever encountered in her life*".
The Iron Collegium

The priests of the Itreyan College of Iron are inducted into their order after their second truedark, and tested for aptitude in the Ars Machina. The boys are never taught to read, nor to write. On the eve of their fifth truedark, those found worthy to serve are taken to a brightly lit room in the heart of the Collegium. Here, amid the scent of burning tar and the breathless beauty of the college choir, they recite their vows, and are then relieved of their tongues via a set of red-hot iron snips. The secrets of constructing and maintaining the Itreyan war walkers are the most tightly guarded in the Republic – taught by doing, not speaking – and the priesthood take their vows of silence rather seriously.

They priests do not, however, take vows of celibacy, and are free to partake in all the pleasures of the flesh and in the institution of marriage. Their lack of tongues, however, can prove to be quite a hindrance in the search for wives.
Mouser

Shahiid Mouser, by PhantomRin

**Mouser** is the Shahiid of Pockets and Master of Thievery. Charming, witty, and as fond of larceny as he is of wearing ladies' underthings. The Itreyan harbors no strong enmity toward the Blade Mia Corvere, which, in comparison with the rest of the Ministry, makes him practically the leader of her fan club. His confirmed kill count in the service of Niah is 26, the lowest of the ministry. He owns various estates across the Republic with an oil portrait of himself in each foyer. He has seven known wives and various children because he knowns progeny is true immortality.
Teardrinker

**Teardrinker** had been the captain of a ship in her earlier life. But after her vessel got wrecked, her crew killed and her cargo destroyed, she decided that her patron goddess simply hated her and transferred her business to the desert of Ashkah. There she now works as the captain of a crew of slavers.

## Appearance

As an adult Dweymeri female, Taerdrinker stands six foot seven tall, with dark skin a deep brown and the intricate facial tattoos of her folk. A long scar bisects her brow, running over her milk-white left eye and down her cheek.

Gladiatii

The **gladiatii** are slaves fighting in arenas as an entertainment for blood thirsty audiences. Gladiatii belong to their masters, the so-called Sanguila or Domini. Those are typically male with the exception of Leona Remus. It is common for the Sanguila to possess more than one gladiatii - such a group is called collegium.
The Philosopher's Stone

The **Philosopher's Stone** describes a thin spear of rock off the coast of Godsgrave, surrounded by unforgiving reefs and drake-infested deeps. Atop sits a keep carved from rock, it was said, by Niah itself. The keep serves as a prison for any criminal not deserving an outright execution. It is called the Philosopher's Stone because prisoners spend their time questioning if their time there is injustice or if the crimes, they committed, was worth it. Mia destroyed the prison when she tried to rescue her mother.
William Wallace

**Sir William Wallace** (Scottish Gaelic: *Uilleam Uallas*; Norman French: *William le Waleys*; died 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the Wars of Scottish Independence.

Along with Andrew Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. He was appointed Guardian of Scotland and served until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305, Wallace was captured in Robroyston, near Glasgow, and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn, and quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians.
Marrowborn

When residing in Godsgrave, the Republic's nobility dwell within the graven halls of the aforementioned Ribs, and conduct their business in the cavernous innards of the Spine – they dwell within the supposed bones of the last titan, hence, the term "marrowborn". Status is conveyed by one's proximity to the first Rib, wherein dwell the Itreyan Senate and the consuls elected to lead them. North of the first Rib lies the forum, constructed in the place the Skull might've been. However, the Skull itself remains missing.
Jessamine Gratianus

Jessamine and her close friend, Diamo, by PhantomRin

**Jessamine Gratianus** was a Red Church acolyte from Mia Corvere's crop who failed to become a Blade.

## Biography

Jessamine was the daughter of Marcinus, an Itreyan centurion who was crucified for his loyalty to Mia's father, Darius Corvere.

## Nevernight (novel)

Jess blamed Darius, and by extension, Mia herself, for her father's death- though, in truth, the girls had much in common. For example, their joint desire to see their fathers' deaths avenged.

## Godsgrave (novel)

Jessamine failed the trials and became a Hand in the service of Mia during her time in Godsrgrave. She was killed by Ashlinn Järnheim in a duel she had every reason to win, save for the distraction of a less vicious companion, namely, Mia Corvere, while on top of the grand cathedral.
Blood Walk

The **Blood Walk** describes a method of travelling inside the Red Church. In every major city of the Republic there are hidden triangular blood pools (typically inside the respective Chapels). The Blood Walk is initiated by the sorcerii Adonai and can only be taken naked, due to the fact that everything else wouldn't survive the trip. The only exception to this seems to be gravebone, as once life flowed through it. The walk itself is described as nauseating.

## Trivia

* A blood pool is filled with roughly 2.000 cubic feet of blood, with 7 ½ gallons of liquid per cubic foot. An average pig has approximately one gallon of blood in its body. That means that around 15.000 pigs have to die in order to fill one blood pool.

## Person

Niemand weiss wo genau er herstammt, jedoch heißt es in den Reihen der Dunklen, dass er die körperliche Personifizierung vom reinem Dunklen ist.

## Fähigkeiten

### Kampfart

Er Kämpft Standardmäßig mit seiner Sense, da er seine Gegner nie ernst nimmt (wozu auch, in anbetracht seiner Werte). Sollte es jedoch dazu kommen das er auf einen Ebenbürtigen, oder ganz starken Gegner trifft, dann lässt er es sich nicht nehmen ihn mit seinen bloßen Händen zu besiegen.

### Zauber

Dadurch das erauf der Seite der Dunklen ist beherrscht er auch das Grundelement Finsternis. Das ist auch sein einzigstes Element was er beherrscht un gehört somit zu den ganz wenigen Personen die nur die "Seiten-Elemente" beherrschen.

Hinzu kommt das er praktisch Immun gegen jeglichen anderen Zauber ist. Nur bei einem gewissen Magie-Level besteht die möglichkeit ihm Schaden zuzufügen.

## Trivia

* Sein Aussehen und Verhalten ist eine Anlehnung an Mark Callaway's Gimmick The Undertaker.
The Bright Light

Organized by Grand Cardinal Crassus Alvaro in 27PR, a grand pyre was set alight, destroying over four thousand so-called "incendiary" works. The grand cardinal initially called the display "the Brightest Light", and it was considered a resounding success by the Itreyan clergy. That is, until it was pointed about by Crassus's *son*, Cardinal Leo Alvaro, that there was no light in all creation brighter than that of the God of Light himself, and that naming any man-made bonfire to the contrary was, in fact, heresy.

After the grand cardinal's crucifixion, Grand Cardinal Alvaro II decreed the pyre should be referred to as "the Bright Light" in text thereafter.
Hall of Eulogies

The **Hall of Eulogies** is located inside The Quiet Mountain. Enormous stone pillars are arranged in a circle, stone gables carved from the Mountain itself soaring above. The names of the Church's countless victims are scribed on the granite floor. Unmarked tombs of the faithful line the walls.

The space is dominated by a colossal statue of Niah herself. She holds a scale and a wicked sword in her hands, her face beautiful and serene and cold. Jewels glitter on her ebony robe like stars in the Truedark sky.
Stormdrakes

**Stormdrakes** are one of the three breeds of drake found in Itreyan waters and by far the stupidest. The beast eat virtually anything that will fit inside their mouths, including fellow stormdrakes and their own young. A complete list of oddities found in stormdrake bellies is kept in the zoology archives of The Iron Collegium, and includes, in no particular order:

* a full suit of plate armor
* a leather chaise lounge
* a six-foot-long timber saw
* an entire family of (presumably enraged) porcupines

This habit of eating anything vaguely interesting has earned them the moniker "sewers of the sea" among Itreyan fishermen, since upon catching one and cutting it open, one is likely to find all kinds of strange.

Godsgrave (novel)
Naev

**Naev** is a Hand of the Red Church and close friend of Mia Corvere. She manages supply runs in the desolate Whisperwastes of Ashkah. Once a beautiful woman, she was disfigured by the Weaver, Marielle, out of jealousy for the relationship she had with the Weaver's brother, Adonai, but, as a reward for Mia's assistance during the Luminatii assault on the Quiet Mountain, Marielle restored Naev's former beauty. After some initial difficulties, she and Mia became friends and confidants.

Naev never forgets and never forgives, which is one of the reasons Mia is so fond of her.
Map to The Crown of the Moon

The **Map to The Crown of the Moon** is an object Cardinal Francesco Duomo hired Ashlinn Järnheim to steal. It was located in a ruin on the coast of Old Ashkah. Fearing betrayal, Ashlinn had gotten the map branded on her skin with Arkemical Ink that would fade in the event of her death.

Duomo believed it led to a weapon. A magik that would undo the Church. Scaeva and the Ministry must have believed it, too, or they’d never have sent Mia Corvere to steal it back.

The map itself leads to a place deep in the Ashkahi wastes - a place called The Crown of the Moon.
Dweymeri

The **Dweymeri** are people that are originally from the Isles of Dweym.

## Heritage

Legend has it the Dweymeri tribes were descended from the daughters of giants who bred with silver-tongued men, but the logistics of this legend fail under any true scrutiny.

## Physical Attributes

Dweymeri are generally dark of skin, most standing head and shoulders above the average Itreyan, who are between five and six feet tall on average. This is less true for half-breeds, who tend to be much smaller and lighter of skin, depending on their opposing heritage. Mia Corvere describes them as "*big as bulls and hard as coffin nails*". Upon reaching manhood, or womanhood, Dweymeri tend to adorn their faces with leviathan-ink tattoos.

## Culture

Despite their outwardly tribalistic ways, the Dweymeri are a proud and austere people. Their ways are strict, their customs often rigorous, and the severity of their laws is only matched by the punishments in place for violating them. Vicious and fearsome they may be, formidable warriors often without equals, the majority of the Dweymeri are governed by a fierce and strict code of honor. Primarily sea-faring folk, they could hardly be described as pirates. One example could be given in regards to their views on outsiders, particularly ones in their care. Dweymeri sailors tend to view their foreign passengers less as guests and more as sacred charges.

The Dweymeri also have ritualized naming rites that follow a set pattern - noun then verb, e.g., Spinesmasher, Wolfeater, Wavewaker, Bladesinger.

## Religion

While the Dweymeri recognize all of various Itreyan deities, their patron goddess is Trelene, the Lady of Oceans, Thirdborn of the Light and the Maw, She Who Will Drink The World. Almost all of their worship is directed toward her.

## Part in the Chronicle

### Nevernight

* Wolfeater - Captain of Trelene's Beau
* Tric † (half Half-Dweymeri/Half-Itreyan)
* Adiira - Tric's mother - a Deymaeri princess
* Floodcaller † - Accolyte of the Red Church who challenges Tric and is found murdered the next day.
* Spiderkiller - Shahiid of the Hall of Truths
* Bladesinger
* Wavewaker
* Swordbreaker † - Grandfather to Tric - Mia kills him for Tric's revenge at the end of Nevernight.
* Earthwalker †
* Teardrinker - Captain of a crew of slavers in the desert of Ashkah.
Lord Cassius

The Lord of Blades, by Nanfe

**Lord Cassius** was the former Lord of Blades of The Red Church. Like Mia Corvere, he was Darkin and presumably shared her powers. He was accompanied by his Daemon Eclipse, who wears the form of a wolf.

## History

After the attack on The Quiet Mountain, Lord Cassius fought beside Mia against the Luminatii Legion. He displayed his Darkin powers and promised Mia to give her all the answers she wanted once the fight was done. While fighting with Marcus Remus, it became obvious that they wanted the Lord of Blades alive - Remus could have killed Cassius but turned his blade to catch Cassius with the flat side. In this chaos, a legionary struck and ultimately killed Cassius. As his last act of Lord of Blades, Cassius anointed Mia as a full-fledged Blade before he died. Because his killer was not a Darkin, the piece of Anias inside him was lost forever.

* Jay Kristoff knows Cassius's backstory and may possibly write it in the future.
Sand Krakens

**Sand Krakens** are the apex predators of the Ashkahi Whisperwastes.

## Description

Though referred to by scholars mad enough to study them as "*sand kraken*", they aren't *actually* cephalopods. They swim in sand as easily as their sea-bound "kin" swim in water, filtering oxygen from the earth through specialized gills. They eat anything not possessed of an above-average running speed, and are renowned for temperaments most would describe as "uncooperative". Their scent is said to be that of old leather and decay. Their tentacles are twenty feet long, studded with grasping, serrated hooks, dry as the desert in which they dwell. Their maws are hideous and beaked, and their eyes are as wide as dinnerplates. Their voices are chittering, guttural hisses.

They are also, inexplicably, infuriated by the calling of the Dark, an ability of the Darkin.

## Scientific Study

The undisputed expert in their study, Loresman Carlo Ribisi, theorized they're a kind of desert worm, mutated by magikal pollutants from the ruins of the Ashkahi Empire. Ribisi postulated that the beasts are possessed of canine-level intelligence, and to prove his theorem, captured an infant sand kraken, brought it back to the Grand Collegium, and attempted to train it in simple tasks.

Ribisi constructed stone mazes, filled them with earth, and set the beast (whom he named "Alfi", after a much-beloved familia pet) loose inside them. Alfi would be rewarded with food if he successfully traversed the labyrinth. Ribisi introduced more complex patterns as Alfi grew in size (six feet long at his last recorded measurement), also incorporating simple devices such as latches and doors to prove the beast's growing intelligence. Sadly, Alfi utilized this knowledge one nevernight in escaping his enclosure, murdering the better part of the zoology staff including a rather disappointed Ribisi, before he was dispatched by a cadre of baffled Luminatii.

Ordinances about the keeping of wildlife within college grounds were tightened considerably after this affair.
Keph

The goddess **Keph** is the secondborn daughter of Aa and Niah.

## In the Itreyan Mythos

It is said that it was during the first Great Tithe that the Light God Aa gifted his four daughters dominion over the elements. To his second child, Keph, he gifted the earth, and in return, Keph offered her father her undying love and fealty.

It is commonly believed that Niah gave her daughters nothing, for the Maw has naught inside to give. But this is lie.

To her daughter, Keph, Niah gave dreams, to keep her company in her eternal slumber.

## Trivia

* Keph is most likely based on Gaia as they are both earth goddesses who slumber.
Great Tithe

Great Tithe marks the (approximate) halfway point between truedarks, and is one of Aa's holy feasts, traditionally marked by gift-giving amongst loved ones.

The first Great Tithe was said to have been the turn Aa gifted his daughters dominion over the elements. To Tsana, his firstborn, he gave the rule of fire. To Keph, the earth. To Trelene, the oceans. Nalipse, the storm. In return, the daughters gave their father their love and obedience.

It's said Niah gave her daughters nothing, for the Maw has naught inside to give. But these are falsehoods spat by the ministers of Church of Light.

To Keph, Niah gave dreams, to keep her company in her eternal slumber. To Trelene, she gave enigma; the deep dark of the waters beyond the sunslight. To Nalipse, she gave calm; the peace of the storm's eye.

And Tsana? Her firstborn who so despised her?

To Tsana, Goddess of Fire, Niah gave hunger.

Hunger unending.
Inkfiend

**Inkfiends**are people who get high on "ink". It is distilled from deep-sea leviathans as a hallucinogenic sedative. In the wild leviathans use ink to flee predators. Long-term users suffer from loss of empathy and sometimes complete detachment from reality. Fransico XV was an infamous inkfiend, along with his Queen Isabella, which lead to their downfall.
The Wellspring Spider

A breed of arachnid native to the country of Vaan.

The females are as black as truedark, and possessed of the most astonishing maternal instinct in the animal republic. Once impregnated, the female build a larder, stocks it with corpses, then seals herself inside. If the nest is set ablaze, she'll burn to death rather than abandon it. If beset by a predator, she'll die defending her clutch. But so fierce is her refusal to leave her young, once her eggs are laid, she won't move, even to hunt. And herein lies the wellspring's claim to the title of fiercest mother in the Republic. For once she's devoured all the stores within her larder, the female begins devouring herself.

One leg at a time.

Plucking her limbs from her thorax. Eating only enough to sustain her vigil. Ripping and chewing until only one leg remains, clinging to the silken treasure trove swelling beneath her. And when her eggs finally hatch, spilling from the strands she so lovingly wrapped them inside, they partake, there and then, of their very first meal.

The mother who bore them.
Marcus Remus

As former justicus of the Luminatii Legion, **Marcus Remus** led an assault upon the Quiet Mountain that decimated the Red Church. He was the successor of the disgraced Darius Corvere and one of the leading men responsible for Corvere's demise. During his climatic confrontation with Darius's daughter, Mia Corvere, in Last Hope, Remus made several cryptic remarks regarding Mia's brother, Jonnen, but was stabbed to death by Mia before he could dully explain himself.

Ultimately, it is revealed that Marcus spoke truth in Ashkah, and that Jonnen did actually survive the Corvere familia's destruction. Mia discovers him alive and well in the company of Consul Julius Scaeva, who, it is also revealed, is actually Jonnen's, and Mia's, biological father.

## History

Little is known about the life of Marcus Remus prior to his assumption of the role of justicus. It is assumed he was a prominent Itreyan figure, as only such would be considered for the prestigious role. It is also mentioned that he himself played a crucial role in the uncovering of the Kingmaker plot and in the apprehension of Darius Corvere and General Antonius.

After the events of Truedark Massacre, which was caused, it was assumed, by a servant of Niah, Remus swore to bring the heretics of the Red Church to justice and end their wretched cult once and for all.

## Appearance

Mia initially described Remus as the biggest man she had ever seen, with a trimmed beard and wolfish features, animal cunning twinkling in his gaze. As justicus, he is almost always seen wearing the official uniform of the Luminatii - snow-white armor accompanied by a crimson cloak, red as blood.
Galante

**Galante** is a city of Liis. Galante proudly boasts the greatest number of churches and temples in all the Republic, besting even Godsgrave in the tally.

## History

Before the Great Unifier, King Francisco I, conquered the nation, the people of Liis worshipped a holy trinity known as the Father, the Mother and the Child. But once assimilated by the Itreyan monarchy, worship of the God of Light caught on among the common folk like a fire in a well-stocked brewery.

One wily fellow, a merchant named Carlino Grimaldi, decided the best way to distinguish himself in the new world order was to chuck wagonloads of money at the Itreyan church. He built the first cathedral to Aa in all of Liis; a towering structure known as Basilica Lumina, right in the heart of Galante. sculpted of rare purple marble and beautiful stained glass, construction almost bankrupted its patron. However, so impressive was the final result, Galante's Cardinal had Grimaldi appointed as governor of the entire city. Galante nobles were soon falling over themselves to curry favor among Aa's ministry, and churches to the Everseeing and temples to his four daughters began springing up over Galante like a rash on a Sugargirl's nethers after the navy hits town.

Though he was later crucified for tax evasion, Carlino still went down in Liisian history as an Exceptionally Clever Bastard. Even to this turn, to curry favor among men of the cloth in Liis is known as "pulling a Grimaldi".
Shahiid of Masks

The term **Shahiid of Masks** describes a master or mistress at the The Red Church. While Shahiid simply refers to a teacher, the Shahiid of Masks teaches the art of intimacy and deception or - as described in Nevernight - *"the soft touch, the lingering stare [and] whispered nothings that mean everything"*. The current Shahiid of Masks is Aalea.
Mercurio's Curios

Mercurio's Curios was described as a derelict old building on the edge of the Liisian Market, "*crouched like a beggar at the corner of two crooked roads*". A sign reading, *Mercurio's Curios - Oddities, Rarities and The Fynest Antiquities,* hung on a squeaking hinge above a sad little door, and, according to the door placard, "*no time wasters, rabble, or religious sorts*" were welcome.
Mister Kindly

Mister Kindly by PhantomRin

**Mister Kindly** is a shadow daemon, who accompanies Darkin Mia Corvere, and devours her fear. He saved her life as a child, and claims to know very little about his true nature, though he's been known to lie from time to time. He is made from a piece of Anais, the son of Niah.

## Appearance

He wears the shape of a black cat, though he is nothing close to a cat at all. He was described in *Nevernight* as paper-thin and semi-translucent, "*thin as old vellum... a shape cut from a ribbon of darkness...*". His voice, "*the murmur of satin sheets on cold skin...*" and "*the kiss of velvet on a babe's skin*."

## Part in the Chronicle

Mister Kindly's first appearance is at the execution of Mia's father. The girl's rage caused the shadows of the piazza themselves to shiver as she unwittingly called upon them, the beginning of the manifestation of her Darkin abilities. And during this episode, the daemon felt, and answered, her call.

He did not immediately make his presence known. Instead, he chose to remain lurking in her shadow, watching over her throughout her familia's rapid downfall. But, just when the girl was about to be executed, the daemon finally revealed himself to her, and delivered Mia her mother's gravebone dagger, giving her the chance to overpower her captors and escape into the slums of Godsgrave. Once out of immediate danger, the daemon revealed himself to her, and Mia gave the shadowcat his name.

He has remained by her side ever since.
Liis

**Liis** is a southern country under the dominion of Itreya.

## History

### *The Siege of Elai*

After the defeat of the last Liisian Magus King, Lucius the Omnipotent, at the Battle of the Scarlet Sands, it was assumed that Liisian resistance would begin to falter, and the country would begin to embrace their victorious conquerors, the Kingdom of Itreya.

This was not the case.

After Lucius's death, a garrison of Luminatii was stationed in the Liisian capital, Elai, to oversee "assimilation". Things went well, until a cadre of elite troops still loyal to Lucius's memory raided a banquet in the former Magus King's palace. The Itreyan elite and Luminatii garrison were captured, lined up by the loyalists, and, one by one, castrated, with a red-hot blade.

The captives were then released, the elite forces barricading themselves inside the palace and awaiting inevitable retaliation. Lasting more than six months, the Siege of Elai became legend. It was during this event that the crude gesture known as "the knuckles" originated. The Liisian loyalists were said to have roamed the palace battlements, holding aloft their fists with fore and baby finger extended as far as the first knuckle - a taunting gesture meant to remind the attacking Itreyans the rebels were still possessed of their "equipment", while the Itreyans' jewels had been fed to the rebel's dogs.

The rebels, were, of course, eventually defeated, and Liis was brought to heel.

## Physical Attributes

Liisians are generally dark of hair and eye, with olive skin.

## Religion

While worship of the Everseeing is now considered the official religion of the Republic, in the turns before the Itreyan Colleges of Iron marched their War Walkers across Liis and conquered it in the name of the Great Unifier, King Francisco I, the Liisans had their own pantheon of worship, which featured, much like the Church of Light, heavy symbolism of the number three.

Their deities were a trinity, consisting of the Father, the Mother, and Child. Children born on the third turning of the month were seen as blessed. Thirdborn children of thirdborn children of thirdborn children were inducted into the Liisian clergy without exception. And finally, the Liisian kings were said to have each possessed three testicles- a sign of their divine right to rule.

Though initially disputed by jealous fellow rulers, this claim was ultimately proven by King Francisco I. Upon capturing the last Liisian king, Lucius the Omnipotent, at the Battle of the Scarlet Sands, the Great Unifier removed the monarch's scrotum with his own dagger and found three aggots staring sadly back at him from within the pouch.

Though grateful credence had been given to the legend, Lucius the Omnipotent was less than pleased with Francisco's method of verification. Albeit briefly.

The Angry Video Game Nerd

**The Angry Video Game Nerd** was easily slaughtered by RoboCop. He wasn't truly in alliance with any order, but his fear of Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 BC lead him to heal Liam with the Dragon Balls. He was sentenced capital punishment by RoboCop. AVGN was supposedly very close with Wario, as his death caused Wario's transformation into a Super Saiyan.
Luminatii Legion

The **Luminatii Legion**, or short *Luminatii* is the military of the Itreyan Republic. In the words of the narrator *they are, for the most part, intent only upon crimes that upset the people who pay their wages – the Senate of Godsgrave. So long as the criminal elements of the city keep to killing themselves and staying below the Hips, the Senate could give less than a tinker's cuss about the murder of an inkfiend who crossed the wrong people, or a pimp who bet the wrong gladiator in the arena. The Luminatii aren't a tool of law and order in the Itreyan captial. They are a tool of the status quo.*

## Appearance

The men of the Luminatii Legion wear gravebone armor, blood-red cloaks and feathered plumes upon their head. They are also using blades made out of Sunsteel.
Fat Daniio

A resident of Last Hope and the proprietor of the Old Imperial.

## Appearance

Mia Corvere describes him as "*a harmless fellow*" upon their first encounter, so much so that he seemed out of place in Last Hope, a town on the edge of the abyss. His eyes were a little too close together, and one of them moved slightly faster than the other. He reeked of rotten fish, and usually sported a grubby apron stained with what looked akin to blood. he spent the majority of his time in his establishment cleaning dirty silverware with dirtier rags.

## Personality

Daniio is not the cleverest man, as he proves time and time again.

Daniio was also a bit of a gambler. He owed a weighty debt to Wolfeater, the captain of *Trelene's Beau.* Incurred during a drunken argument about the aerodynamics of pigs and the distance from the Old Imperial to the stable across the way. The debt, which would take the form of an extended session of... oral pleasure for the crew of the *Beau* (which Daniio would apparently undertake while performing a handstand with his arse-end painted blue) had yet to be cashed in, but the threat of it hung heavy in the air whenever the *Beau* and its crew were in port.

## Skills

Daniio is a surprisingly decent cook. His "widowmaker" chili is astonishingly hot, and, Mia admits, delicious.
