Jiajia

Young adult woman with shoulder-length, purple-highlighted black hair worn in a half-up ponytail.

## Information

### Eye color

brown

Jiajia is one of Shen Wei's students at Dragon City University. She is sharp and engaged and is comfortable speaking up in class, such as when she corrects Professor Shen on his spelling during a lecture.

Her field of study is likely bio-engineering, as she attends lectures associated with the topic (to include the one Shen Wei presents in episode one) and can often be found in the vicinity of the biology department buildings (such as when she helped Shen Wei out of the bushes in episode two).

She is the granddaughter of the Chancellor of the university, but typically hides their relationship per his directive in order to avoid any appearance of favoritism or impropriety.

Jiajia was one of two students (along with xiao-Quan) selected to accompany Shen Wei on his field trip to the mountains when he used his university identity as a cover to seek out the Mountain-River Awl.

## Trivia

* In a deleted scene that didn't make the final cut for episode 34 of the drama, Jiajia was murdered by Ye Zun when he was impersonating Shen Wei and briefly visited his classroom.

**Note:** ***Page contains spoilers for the whole novel.***

Zhao Yunlan's father is a shrewd city official of Dragon City.

His given name is never mentioned in the novel, he is always called Zhaofu, i.e. Zhao Yunlan's father.

He has never put much energy into raising Zhao Yunlan or felt close to him, leaving the education of their son up to his wife, Zhao Yunlan's mother.

## Shennong's Bowl

Zhao Yunlan's father is possessed by the ancient deity Shennong's Medicine Bowl, who has the intent of keeping Zhao Yunlan in sight, because it knows Zhao Yunlan is Kunlun. It's sometimes hard to tell if Zhao Yunlan is talking to his father or to the spirit possessing it. (Chapter 80)

The bowl insists that it never harmed Zhao Yunlan's father, telling Zhao Yunlan: "I only borrow his body once in a while, and afterwards I always leave useful memories for him. I never interfere with his affairs." (Chapter 80)

Drama

Novel

## Guo Changcheng

**This page may contain spoilers for the whole novel.**

Quotes are taken from the Wattpad translation by RainbowSe7en.

Guo Changcheng is an intern with the SIU in Dragon City. He starts his internship at the start of the novel, the first chapter is narrated from his point of view.

He is introverted, timid, lacks self-esteem, and he has never held a job before. He is easily scared, avoids making phone calls, and stutters when embarrassed, which is quite often.

He is often treated badly by the other characters, but he has a good heart.

## Physical Appearance

Guo Changcheng is described in chapter 1 as having mediocre looks. His hair is a bit on the long side, hanging into his eyes.

In chapter 3, he is described from Zhao Yunlan's point of view as rather shabby-looking: 'hunched over, always looking down shamefully, his fringe almost covering both eyes, and dressed in all black'.

## Biography

His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by relatives who helped him until he graduated from university. (chapter 1)

When he still didn't look for a job for one whole year, his uncle procured him a job with the SIU. (chapter 1)

翻涌眼底的光影

替你呼吸

曾经并肩交换过勇气

在撼动我内心

不需要理由就那样笃定

怎么取舍才有意义

经过多少练习

才会成为这样的你

我始终在这里

重新在这个末世纪

和你交集

曾经并肩是你让念力

刻在了我记忆

Shen Wei/Novel

Drama

Novel

**This page may contain spoilers for the whole novel.**

Quotes are taken from the translation by RainbowSe7en.

## Shen Wei

沈巍 Shěn Wēi

Shen Wei is an immortal entity. His name has been given to him by Kunlun, the mountain god.

### Physical Appearance

The first time Shen Wei appears, in chapter 3, he is described as "lean and tall, very formally dressed in a white, long-sleeve shirt and pants even in the heat of summer." He is wearing rimless glasses and presents a "cultured and pristine image."

When Zhao Yunlan shakes hands with him, he notes that Shen Wei's "hand is rather icy, like that of a dead corpse straight out of a refrigerator." (chapter 3)

### Relationship with Kunlun / Zhao Yunlan

Shen Wei is obsessed with Kunlun / Zhao Yunlan. He has been watching him through many reincarnations, usually without him noticing. He keeps a worship room of him in his apartment. All it contains are pictures and photographs of one man, from old to new, arranged chronologically, only his clothes changing through dynasties and periods, but the man always looks like Zhao Yunlan. (chapter 47)

## Ghost King

鬼王 Guǐ Wáng (鬼 guǐ = ghost, 王 wáng = king)

In the past, Shen Wei was called the Ghost King. He is a demon, but - along with his brother, Ghost Face - was named a king among demons.

Kunlun called him Little Ghost King (小鬼王 = Xiao Gui Wang). He fell in love with Kunlun and swore to protect him.

## The Ghost Slayer

斩魂使 Zhǎn Hún Shǐ (斩 zhǎn = to behead, 魂 hún = soul, 使 shǐ = envoy)

Shen Wei is also the Ghost Slayer, responsible for judging, punishing, and slaying souls. The Ghost Slayer is described as being a creature of the Underworld, neither god nor ghost, neither spirit nor angel. (chapter 13)

He seems to instill a visceral feeling of terror in everyone he meets, except Zhao Yunlan. (chapter 18, chapter 13)

He judges crimes of ghosts and when he finds them culpable, turns them into black smoke, and absorbs them. (chapter 18)

### Physical Appearance

He is "completely wrapped in a black cloak. His limbs are all covered and his face is obscured by a cloud of black mist." (chapter 18) He has a "ghost-slaying blade with the ability to know 'good from evil,' which earned him his name." (chapter 13) With the black cloak and blade, he looks somewhat like the Grim Reaper, and a possible alternative translation of his name would be Soul Reaper.

His face is usually not visible.

His voice is described as "soft, pleasing and polite, but incredibly sombre." (chapter 18)

His smell is described from Guo Changcheng's point of view as mild, and not unpleasant: "The smell reminds Guo Changcheng of winter in the Greater Khingan mountain range." He compares it to the clean smell of snow, mixed with a hint of decay. (chapter 18)

Cold spreads wherever he goes, e.g. in chapter 18, where his arrival is heralded by "a rush of eerie frost," the temperature plummets, and "white fractals crystallise on the window panes." (In the novel mythology, it is very cold in the Underworld.)

## Drama

### Affiliation

Seastar Administration Research Institute

## Information

### Eye color

brown

**Li Qian** is a bio-engineering student at Dragon City University. Shen Wei is her supervisor and she always helps him with his lectures [ep01]. They seem to have a good if not very close relationship: Shen Wei knows some details about her private life and expresses concerns about her well-being, she seeks his opinion [ep01], they have most likely shared lunch breaks together and she trusts and feels comfortable around him, even to show him her sundial pendant, which she always hides [ep01].

She lives with her grandmother and only family, Li Yufen, with whom she is very close, until her grandmother dies in/before Episode 02.

She is the owner of the Longevity Dial, a family heirloom she carries around her neck with a cord, and is therefore the target of Gao Tianyu (shadow man, one of Zhu Jiu's henchmen) [ep02, ep02]. She used it the previous year to help her grand-mother recover after she had a stroke, and realized afterwards that her grand-mother's new life came at the price of hers. Unfortunately Li Yufen developed dementia and, unable to deal with the stress and heartbreak anymore, a suicidal Li Qian left sleeping pills unattended in their apartment, thus causing her grand-mother's death [ep02, ep02].

Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei save her when she attempts suicide a few days after Li Yufen's death [ep02]. When Gao Tianyu makes another attempt on her life at the hospital she is helped by Shen Wei and Guo Changcheng. Later she is helped by Li Yufen's spirit through the Longevity Dial and by Shen Wei as the Black Cloak Envoy. [ep02]

She gives the Longevity Dial to Zhao Yunlan and it becomes SID property. [ep2]

During her time "off" to recover from the attacks and her grand-mother's passing, Li Qian quits her studies. Shen Wei learns about it from the Chancellor of the university, who, unlike him, considers this is a good thing. [ep6]

After giving biological samples to Professor Ouyang Zhen and Professor Zhou at the Seastar Administration Research Institute to help study the effect of the Longevity Dial on the body, she notices and corrects a mistake on the board and is offered a job there as a research assistant. She happily agrees. [ep22] [ep22]

After hearing about Zhao Yunlan's loss of sight she sends the SID an anonymous email explaining how to heal his eyes using the Longevity Dial [ep22, ep22]. Shen Wei successfully does so. [ep22]

It is unusual for Snake Yashou to live among humans.

Zhu Hong works for the SID. She likely joined the SID because she fell in love with Zhao Yunlan when she first met him.

Her job in the SID is unclear, she does all sorts of administrative work, but also some field agent work (ep3). She acts as liaison for the Snake Tribe.

Zhu Hong becomes leader of all Yashou tribes by making the ancient sapling sprout. (ep37)

## Powers

Zhu Hong has a strong fighting spirit. She can exert energy, which is shown as her eyes glowing red and shooting bursts of red energy.

She can also hypnotize people with her power, which backfires when she tries it on Shen Wei. (ep10, ep11)

Zhu Hong has a snake tail, which is usually hidden, but can be seen briefly in episode 1. All Snake Yashou can probably transform completely into snakes, but this is never shown.

## Character

Zhu Hong is sometimes called on to perform tasks "only a woman can do," e.g. to comfort the rape victim Professor Zhang Ruonan (ep3), or to help Wang Zheng wake up (ep12?). But she is not very good at them. She prefers making threats to showing emotions.

She is a fierce fighter.

Zhu Hong is secretly in love with Zhao Yunlan until she confronts him about it (ep31), where he lets her down gently and offers to become friends. She slowly starts to get over her unrequited love from that point on.

Zhu Hong is at first too shy to accept the challenge to become Yashou leader, but once the position has been thrust upon her, she seems happy about it.

Lycanthropy

## Overview

The Lycha Virus, otherwise known as Lycanthropy, was created by the Mad God Lycha after being tricked by his older sister, Arai. It was created to manufacture the perfect beast in an effort to win a wager Arai had made to Lycha, who goaded her brother into creating the virus in an attempt to damage the Human population, and as such will only affect that race.

## Symptoms

Upon infection via bodily fluid contact or direct injection of the virophages, Lycanthropy will take at least one full rotation of the lunar cycle to completely infect its host. Once the infection is complete, it begins to change the human into a bestial, mindless hunter that has many wolflike body features such as fur, sharper and longer teeth, thick hide, claws, a tail, around a two-foot increase in height, around 85-95lbs increase in weight, elongated snout, arms, legs and fingers.

### Post-Cure

After Queen Mirah manufactured a cure for the Virus, those who had already been infected were only cured of their mental symptoms, their physical symptoms still remaining. These symptoms had changed their DNA, forcing the mutations to be passed on to any offspring, as well as limiting the infected to only being able to procreate with one another, instead of the host race. See: Werewolves.

While the Virus still exists to this day, it is curable and will no longer leave the infected individual with the physical symptoms post-cure.

Burning of the Rift

## Overview

The Burning of the Rift was an event that took place shortly after the first, High-Elven attack on the Capital City of Yah'Jube. when the many factions of the Kingdom were fleeing, Heartland Elves had begun to make their way to the Forests of the Heartland from whence they came, when a pursuing group of radical Elves took it upon themselves to follow and destroy any wood Elf survivors. Just east of the Keepers Coast, the Heartland factions tried to hold off the attack but were unable to defend against the High Elves magic and tactical prowess, finding themselves engulfed in a sea of flames. The fire raged for weeks, spreading over almost a third of the forest and finally ending just short of the Heartland Forest Kingdoms.

Reyth

## Overview

**Reyth, The World Tree**, is a massive, artificial tree that was imbued with sentience when Queen Mirah planted it as a seedling on the newly formed continent of Ahraan. It is designed to spread flora all over the island and basically advance the effort of terraforming the island into something more useful than rocks and sand. It is directly tied to the islands ecological cycle and life there would be impossible without it.

## Sentience

Though Reyth is sentient, it cannot speak or communicate outside of Voidsense. What little it communicates is lost on all but the gods, most mortals unable to comprehend its feelings or sentiment.
Werewolves

## Overview

Cursed with the Lycha Virus, modern Werewolves are a result of the first version of the virus infecting a viable host, turning them and then the host's mind being healed by Queen Mirah to create a new breed of non-shifter humanoid called Pure Werewolves.

## Pure Werewolves

Considered "Pure" because of their unique situation regarding the Lycha Virus, these Werewolves are constantly in their non-human forms, unable to revert back but still able to produce offspring. They were infected with a much more powerful, destructive version of the Virus that essentially forced them to experience their Moon cycle every single day, permanently turning them into a violent Werewolf. When Queen Mirah used her magic to "cure" the Virus, these people's minds were healed, but their bodies and abilities were left untouched. Over time the group was ostracized from normal society, uninfected humans treating them as though the Curse was still transferrable, thinking they were the unhealed versions or "Cursed Werewolves". Eventually the treatment became so bad, as well as Mirah feeling guilty for creating the situation in the first place, that the Werewolves asked for her help once again and the Queen tore a new landmass up from the depths and planted a tree of her own making to spread grass and forests across the new island. Soon enough, the entire population of Pure Werewolves made their homes on the new Continent of Ahraan, forming tribes and living very solitary lives, occasionally pairing up and having the first generation of new Werewolf children.

## Cursed Werewolves

With the Lycha Virus in its new state, the curse is much milder, affecting people only during the fuller parts of the lunar cycle. These Werewolves lose both their sanity and humanity when the moon becomes full, taking on a much bulkier and deadlier form than that of Pure Werewolves. These Werewolves *can* infect others via scratches or saliva contact, are sensitive to silver and will typically regrow lost or critically injured limbs. They are driven by a motivation to consume the flesh, no matter what the flesh is, but typically prefer live, humanoid flesh and will usually not kill its targets, preferring instead to take a small bit of their flesh and then infecting them. In the wild, they are not organized and will usually ignore others of its own kind, but have been known to cooperate with others if they know them in their human forms.
Ahn'Qa

## Overview

**The Ahn'Qa** (Ǒnk-uh) are a peaceful, intelligent humanoid race that seem to be closely related to Humans. They are denoted by their ability to Shift into a quadripedal, flying creature with a birdlike face, talons, a furred and clawed hindside and a long tail. Their humanoid forms are typically quite short, only ever reaching around 5.5 feet tall at most and generally measure around 5 feet.

"*Honestly, I'm a little curious about their origins myself. They were first contacted* *in the Spine just south of the Rift, the Heartland Elves had been finding animal carcasses and bones of massive birds washing down the nearby river and mounted an expedition up the slopes. There were about 5,000 of them up there, nests everywhere and mated pairs walking around in both their humanoid and animalistic forms, passively staring at these understandably cautious wood Elves. The accounts from the Heartland historical documents and recounted stories of the locals indicate they lived even higher up the mountain before, having been driven down by a scarcity of food, likely due to the recent introduction of the mystical Dragons in the area."*

*-Cole*
## Culture

A mountain-living race, the Ahn'Qa have lived in the higher points of the Spine for thousands of years, peacefully hunting and scavenging before they were discovered by the Heartland Elves around the same time as the First War.
Mirah

## Overview

**Known as "Queen Mirah", She** is the middle child of the Five Gods and is responsible, along with Derz, for the creation of all natural life on the planet today.

## Creating the Order

The Order of Mirahis a group of powerful warriors who were turned into the first Dire Wolves before the events of the First War. Mirah created them as a direct reaction to Lycha, her brother, creating a virus that enslaved and corrupted the minds of Humans on the planet, a race she'd grown fond of. She gave the Order, and indirectly to all Dire Wolves, the responsibility of fighting and curing the infection, using her magic to alter the Virus to be less effective in accordance with the cycles of the moon.

## Creating Ahraan

Shortly after the end of the First War, Mirah realized the cured Werewolves now needed someplace they could escape the persecution of others, using a considerable amount of energy and destroying her physical form to raise a new continent up from the depths where the newly formed race could live in peace.
The Yazu

Placeholder

Spending years harassing the Empire, Dika and the Yazu capitalized on a law that the Empire had passed known as the "Preservation of Knowledge Order", making most of their money stealing historical documents and religious texts from Empire Caravans and wealthy Highland Elves that lived on the continent. With so many Gondoran and Yah'Jubian natives being affected by the ostensive book ban, the Yazu quickly made a name for themselves as a Quasi-Robinhood group that gave back to their community.
Redtail

## Overview

The Redtail Clan was a clan of Dire Wolves that, until the events of KoT, lived as horticultural experts in the mountains of the Spine. A Matriarchal society, the Redtails held a friendly relationship with the Screechtalon and Emberwing Tribes of Ahn'qa with whom they shared the mountain range.

Rena and Soran were the children of a displaced member of the Redtails, who fled during the Elven Invasion.
The Gondoran High Kings

## Overview

Kingdoms of free colonists that had separated from Yah'Jube peacefully because of cultural differences developed over a long period of time. They are a mix of human and Heartland Elves, veering more towards a practical and utilitarian society, and the lone Heartland Elves developing into a more stoic and oriental society.
Allfather

## Overview

"The Allfather" is the Human name given to the creator of all life and matter in the universe, it's sole purpose is to create planets and fill them with life. It accomplishes this by forming from β Radiation and a material known as Shard that is already present within the universe. Once its forms, (assuming it didn't have a body to form from beforehand) it flies through space consuming more Shard until it possesses enough energy to turn itself into a planet. The planets are not all uniformly sized and not every planet will contain life beyond the God(s) that it creates. Once the planet is formed, a small chunk of it will fly out into space and seek out Shard to repeat the process.
Adina Abernathy

## Overview

**Adina (Ada) Abernathy** is a Human woman that works for the illustrious Therevici family in Drak, as well as being a point of contact for the Order within the City-Kingdom to assist in helping Empire defectors travel into or out of the area. The house she lives in is called "Kettlemore" and is owned by Roland Therevici's father, Theus Therevici, a High Elf and one of the Empire's many influential families that funds the war. She forges papers for Cilus and Rena to be able to live and work in Kettlemore when Ada requests Cilus's help to contain Roland's Lycanthropy.

Humans

## Overview

A hearty and subservient race, Humans have existed nearly as long as Highland Elves, originating in the tropical jungles of Fahloc-Nor before the island of Ahraan had been raised from the sea. They typically live to be around 150 years old (far and away the shortest life expectancy of any of the Gifted Races) and can grow upwards of 6 feet tall. Their ears are rounded like Dire Wolves and Ahn-qa, but are not Shifters and do not possess an alternate form. They are able to use magic as skillfully as any other race, but Gifted people are rarely born, leading to the race to rely on either their Protector Race or charms to perform magic. For most of the history of the planet, Humans have been both willing and unwilling subjects to other races, most notably the High Elves and Corrupted, but work alongside the Heartland Elves and Ahn-Qa as well in a friendlier, mutual capacity.

## Culture

Human culture varies from continent to continent but the Julkrestian human civilizations are usually Agrarian with little to no interest in conflict. They have a very simple way of life and adhere mostly to mutualism, tending to partner up with other races and creatures in the many forms of psychic Bonding, Humans being incredibly adept at making and maintaining bonds.

## Bonding

More than any other race, humans have the inherent ability to bond and cooperate with others, varying widely from small animals and insects to Ancient Dragons, Wood Elves, Ahn-Qa and everything in between. Their race is incredibly good at establishing bonds and are known to utilize animal labor much more than any other race, in stark contrast to the native Wood Elves, who are only known to have bonds with Leapers and dragons.

## Riders

The Dragon Riders of the North, or more commonly referred to as "Riders", are a group comprised of Humans, Ancient Dragons, Dire Wolves, Ahn-Qa and Heartland Elves, among others, that have developed Bonds with each other and acted as the policing force of the Yah'Jubian Government during the Julkrestian Golden Age. During the Western Invasion, the Riders were defeated at the Battle of Yah'Jube, sending them fleeing to their bastion cities in the Northern Ridge and leaving their government defenseless. Kashi Itugawa, a teenage Rider and her bonded partner Ginko, attempt to retrieve a number of eggs from one of the fallen nurseries in the ruins of Yah'Jube, but are only able to find one left intact, and they quickly find out that they are not the bonded matches for the egg.
