Ren Sild

School of Illusion

Headmaster **Ren Sild** likes to show his students at the school of Illusion the power of magic through the joy it can bring others, and how it can be used to brighten peoples' days. Despite his looks, Headmaster Sild is an expert prankster, and where any other headmaster would berate their students, Sild loves if his students manage to catch him with pranks and tricks, knowing that if they can fool him, they have been learning in their classes. Even though these lessons are often fun in nature, the headmaster still ensures that the students understand the power of illusion, and how it can damage others, despite being an intangible magic.

Sild gets along well with Grandmaster Céannon Ashcrest, mainly because he does not cause any trouble for the Grandmaster, aside from the occasional joke or illusory armchair.
Heavenborn

The **Children of the Gods,** also known as the **Heavenborn,** are a group of individuals born from the gods for the Games of Celestial Divinity. Those born around the time of 700 IC from Dhaas' lineage are known as the Deathborn, as Dhaas split his power into several dozen vessels, causing much stress for the Empire at the time.

## Notable Heavenborn

Antonia Adelaide

**High Merchant Antonia Adelaide** is the highest ranking merchant within the Empire of Lûeth, normally conducting her business within the Assembly of Iron in Laeth. In addition, she is a prominent member of the Illuminated Council, advising the Empress on matters regarding coin and trade, as she once did for her father, Rigel XIV.
Irsaaq

**Irsaaq** is the god of seasons, and is seen as a stern yet compassionate whose mood changes as rapidly as the seasons. He can give the harshest winter followed by a cool summer, or send a scorching summer and relatively mild winter.

Irsaaq's followers are proud to worship their god, and can often be mages using magic of the four elements, each depicting one of the seasons: earth for autumn, air for winter, water for spring and fire for summer.
Felicia Godwinson

**Queen Felicia Godwinson** is the Queen of Lûeth, the country at the seat of the Empire of the same name. While she may be queen of the country, the title is more one of tradition than one of actual power, as any power that might be held by the queen is instead held by the Empress, and were the queen to try to move against the Empire in any way, she would likely be dethroned.

Traditionally, the ruler of Lûeth marries the imperial ruler, usually the queen marrying the emperor, but in the current case, the Godwinson family have requested to forcefully abdicate Felicia from the role of queen to replace her with someone more suited for marriage. However, the Empress has denied these requests, having become friends with the queen, who wants to keep her position, as well as granting her a position on the Illuminated Council, a move considered unorthodox.
Aslanti

**Aslanti** is often depicted as a grey-skinned elf who dances under the moonlight, basking in the freedom of its light, as the light of the moon illuminates so one can see, but is not as intense as the sun.

Aslanti has very few established temples, but she is worshipped by exiles and outcasts, including many outcast drow. Followers of Aslanti work tirelessly to undermine the efforts of the goddess Juir, who coincidentally happens to be the goddess that the dark elves worship most highly.

## Ideals

"*Yes, we search for the truth, as does Aasillist. However, we respect that some people have secrets they prefer to be left in darkness.*"
―High Priestess of Aslanti to an initiate.
Shadow Queen

**The Shadow Queen,** also known by her name, **Krytis,** is the ruler of Stygia and is supposedly the pure opposite of the Summer Queen, Maeve. Others believe them to be family, having become rivals and proceeding to rule the planes of life and death respectively.

While the Shadow Queen rules Stygia, it is believed that she is not entirely evil. In truth, however, it cannot be known what she truly plans, but she claims that none are above the laws of death, not even herself. However, such reports are hard to come by, as those that enter Stygia - besides Aethel Ynn and Dhaas - rarely return alive.

Most of her rulership of Stygia is delegated to her noble cast, the thirteen Deathlords, whose personalities vary wildly from protecting their subjects to ruling over them in tyranny. While the Deathlords squabble amongst one another, often having brutal wars between themselves, they all truly answer to the Shadow Queen in the end, as they all know that if anyone were to have the power to send them to the Void, it would be her.

She is often depicted as a young, blonde woman with ceremonial war robes, holding a long bladed spear with a scale balance near the top. She is often said to have a Krytis Cat by her side at all times, though there are no witnesses to these claims, though it is completely plausible that the cat is simply lurking invisible nearby. Regardless, one of the only laws the Shadow Queen makes sure is enforced is that harming a Krytis Cat is punishable by passage to the void, which even outside of Stygia, is worse than death.
Lance Team Sigma

Leonard Castus

Edith Copperbrew

Valentine

**Lance Team Sigma** is a prominent Lance Team in Krystal, comprised of Michael Renwick, Jim Stonelock, Leonard Castus, Edith Copperbrew and Valentine. They are unique amongst the lance teams in that they have no assigned leader, having been exiled before it could be assigned, though now they have since returned to Krystal, that fact might change.
Francis Vex

**Francis Vex** is an up-and-coming Pirate Lord angling to become the Pirate King, coming to prominence after the Primordial Crisis and the death of Vincent Greyshine. All that is known about Vex is that he originally comes from Buir and captains a ship names The Siren's Call. He mainly uses terror tactics, being ruthless in his raids, even giving the Imperial Navy a hard time.
Gregor Girard

Lord Gregor Girard, as he appears currently.

Tomas Girard - Son

Elaine - Servant

## Overview

**Gregor Girard** is the lord of Runiere, based within the Narenhall Alliance. Born into soldiery, he joined the armies of Narenhall in service of the The Leagueand subsequently the then Lord of Runiere, Malcome LaFey**,** as his father had before him. During his career, he would marry his wife, Marie, and later they would have their first and only son, Tomas. Years later, the Primordial Crisis would strike Valdia, with Runiere being one of the first settlements to be attacked. Miraculously, Gregor took charge of the armies of Runiere and beat back the Primordials for the months that the Primordial gates remained opened, leaving Runiere virtually unscathed during the entirety of the crisis. Gregor's wife, Marie, was unfortunately lost during the first few days of the primordial crisis.

Once the Primordial threat was quelled, Gregor became revered as a hero within Runiere, adopting the moniker of Gregor Demonsbane. Soon after, Lord Malcome LaFey, despite his young age, began to fall ill and passed away childless. Gregor was appointed his successor, with vast support from the citizens of Runiere.

Gregor has ruled over Runiere for the past decade, but has seemingly aged very little. He has had many wives in this time, with his most recent fiance being Lady Eleanor Page, daughter of Lord Harald Page of The League. Despite this fact, he has produced no heirs bar his first son, Tomas.
Maria Mór

**Spymaster Maria Mór** is a prominent member of the Illuminated Council, advising the Empress on matters related to intelligence, also consorting with the generals on the council, providing them with valuable information. Maria was originally given her position by Quaanis Raam I, though she defected to the rebellion along with Grand Inquisitor Fenris Armando, thus keeping her position for her work as an inside agent for the rebellion.
Free People

Visciara Tios'n (formerly)

Kyrana Alamar

Okholum

Griis Azure

Zhel Azure

The **Free People of Tyri** are a bandit clan of outcasts, mainly half-elves, half-orcs and humans. Decades ago, they were one of the most notorious bandit groups south of Ilios, but now they limit their activity to the area between Tyr and Xelaphos.

Roughly a year after their formation in 719 IC, the Free People were sponsored by the Lion, Sarlock Kaltan, into causing unrest in Tyri and they gained many notable members, with many Deathborn included in their ranks. They were eventually stopped by Kalruhan Lucaryn and his allies, and most of their infrastructure collapsed along with Kaltan.
Eltienne

**Eltienne,** the elder sister of Alide, is seen as one of the wiser of the deities of Mundanus. Her followers know her to be very impartial when it comes to matters of corruption. Her followers are often inquisitors who seek the truth behind cults and evildoers, while other followers are knights who wish to protect the weak and innocent from harm. Eltienne herself is considered very stoic and unforgiving to those she considers have done wrong, and her judgement is always impeccable.
Lance Team Alpha

Vulca Pyrehand (enforcer)

Iaazos Skyborn (infiltrator)

**Lance Team Alpha** is the most elite lance team that Krystal possesses. The team used to have more than the four members it currently has, but they were slowly killed over time and the team is reluctant to recruit anything other than the best of the best.

The team was last comprised of Tsali Valk, the team leader and occasional adjudent to Titus Ursari; Vanderos Blackhammer the hunter; Vulca Pyrehand, the enforcer; and Iaazos Skyborn, the infliltrator. However, since Ahriman's invasion of Krystal, Lance Team Alpha were killed after being chipped by Ahriman.

Now, Lance Team Alpha is comprised of Edith Copperbrew, Leonard Castus, Valentine and Jim Stonelock.
Kazimir Den'gi

Kazimir, as he appears currently.

Viktor Den'gi - Brother

Aurora Den'gi - Sister

Boris Den'gi - Brother

Angelina Den'gi - Sister

Nikolai Den'gi - Brother

Vladimir Den'gi - Brother

Da Vinckie - Overlord & Master

**Kazimir Den'gi** is a travelling merchant hailing from Antonia, the capital of the Kingdom of Vaestrom. He has travelled all across Mundanus, peddling his dubious wares.

He was born into the famous Den'gi family, which consists of high-ranking strategists within the Vaestran military. Quickly realising that the military life was not his calling, he ventured out of Valdia in order to begin his life as a travelling merchant, which unfortunately failed rather miserably due to Kazimir's poor understanding of currency as a whole.

Sheila Sinthgunt

Sheila without makeup.

### Relatives

Grandong Sinthgunt (ex-father) (see Shooting of Grandong Sinthgunt)Petite Paulina Sinthgunt (half-mother)

Maude Sinthgunt (half-mother)

Mickey Kriemhild (ex-husband)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Blue

**Sheila Lowbosom Sinthgunt** is a dwarf waitress and is the ex-wife of Mickey Kriemhild. She lives and works in the city of Khârond.

## Backstory

Sheila was born in Khârond, Lûeth, to Grandong Sinthgunt, and either Petite Paulina Sinthgunt or possibly Maude Sinthgunt. As Grandong was married to both Petite Paulina and Maude, they were unsure as to who the mother was, so Petite Paulina and Maude opted to refer to themselves as half-mothers. After seeing how ugly Sheila was at birth, Grandong fled to the city of Xelaphos, where he was shot to death. Sheila was raised by her two half-mothers instead.

She became a waitress when she was old enough to work at the Pillows n' Pepperoni Restaurant, opposite Ironstrike's Forge and Family BBQ. It was there she met Mickey Kriemhild, as his father, Francis Kriemhild, worked at Ironstrike's Forge and was able to introduce the pair. Sheila would later go on to marry Mickey.

The pair later divorced when Mickey discovered that she was in an adulterous relationship with her horse, Conk.

She was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting in California in 757 IC, thus was unable to get engaged to corpulent favourite Hamlin. Rumours have it, it was this that sparked Mickey's return to life.
Khaemis

**Khaemis** is the god of commerce. He is often revered by merchants and priests of his faith are often present when important deals in the world to ensure that each party to the agreement doesn't break it. In the Empire these priests have become less common over the years, though Khaemis is still worshipped occasionally.
Ava Hadard

James Hadard (older brother)

**Ava Hadard** is the personal servant of Empress Eliana Arryn I. She lived on her family's farm until very recently, as her brother was crippled defending their family home during the primordial crisis. This lead her to seek work in the capital and eventually found her way to being the Empress' personal servant.
Krystaal

**Krystaal,** like her sister Yarae, is one of the most hardworking of the deities. While her sister creates life, Krystaal controls and regulates magic from mortals, ensuring that their potential never rises above set limits. As such, ancient spells that created and sundered continents no longer exist, and the empire residing on the island of Krystal are said to act in her name, though whether or not she has direct contact with them is unknown.

Krystaal controls magic through her art, known as the Weave of Magic. She weaves its effects throughout the world, its presence waxing and waning in places, but mostly keeping it smooth, and without interference it stays this way. However, ambitious and powerful mages can gather the weave into a single space, tying it and knotting it so they can make more use of their magic, but this can have unforeseen effects. Such practices are heresy to priests of Krystaal, as they are abusing the power that she freely gives.

While mages in the Empire might commonly fear the Inquisition, mages that attempt to recreate ancient spells that alter the weave of magic should fear the church of Krystaal more, as while they practice the arcane arts themselves, they specialise in hunting down those who abuse their mistress’s power.
Solarium

## Noramarah Solarium

The **Solarium** was an ancient Xelaran prototype siege defence weapon that focused around channelling the energies of the sun into a large beam of light to incinerate enemy armies. It was largely a successful weapon, passing all tests and burning many enemy soldiers, though there were more efficient devices that weren't so expensive to build. As such, the Solarium of Noramarah remains the only one of its kind in existence today.

Though the Solarium was primarily designed as a weapon, it's main use became related to arcane matters, as the inhabitants used the channelled energy from the sun to power an orrery, making use of it to make powerful and accurate predictions based off astrological movements. It sits unused now, however, the technology and knowledge required to make it work again long lost to time.
Mr. Peas

Mr. Peas, as he currently appears.

**Mr. Peas** was born in Ruinere along with his twin brother Mr. Pod. Both lived an ordinary life, eventually becoming greengrocers within Ruinere's busy markets.

He was 30 when the Primordial Crisis occurred, and was conscripted to fight alongside Gregor Girardto defend against the Primordial invaders. His efforts during the war were recognised by Gregor, and he was appointed recruitment officer and training general for the Runiere army, alongside his brother.

He has become a prominent figure within Runiere, being commonly referred to as The Left Hand of the Lordby soldiers and townsfolk alike.
Paradise

**Paradise**, as it has been labelled by the Wizards of Krystal, is a unique island to the south-west of the Empire of Lûeth that does not have an equivalent in the planes of Gaia or Stygia, and is the only island in these planes to not have an equivalent in the others. It is a prominent tourist attraction in Mundanus for the wealthiest people, as well as for archaeologists studying ancient history.

The island of Paradise has several different biomes, all seemingly magically contained within their own areas, sporting both arctic peaks that constantly have piercing snowstorms on the boarder of a harsh desert. The island itself is unnaturally circlular, causing some to believe that the island was created, though no one knows who. Many point to the Krystallans, or the Ancient Xelarans, but both empires had their own research into the true nature of the island at the time, so it must have existed before then. Others point to the elves, when they first entered Mundanus from Gaia, though the elves have no such records, or even the knowledge of magics that would allow them to create such a wonder. Regardless, while the nature of the creation of Paradise is an enigma lost to time, the studies that can come from the magic of the island have helped progress the study of magic for generations.
Astral Plane

## Map

This map is of the explored regions of the Astral Plane. Much of the plane remains unexplored and uninhabitable.

### Inhabitants

IllithidsGith

Dead Gods

Astral Leviathans

Star Spawn

Astraeans/Shardminds (extinct)

The **Astral Plane**, or **Astraea** as it was known before the Great Calamity is an ancient plane said to be older than every other plane in existence. It is largely empty with small pockets of life dotted around in the astral sea, and to the edges of the plane, the corpses of gods long dead slumber, with illithids, gith and other astral horrors waiting at every turn. Due to its incredibly weak planar borders, most teleportation takes place through the astral plane, albeit briefly.

Ahriman revealed that Astraea was once a plane similar to Mundanus, though during the Great Calamity, Astraea was destroyed when the Heart of Astraea project backfired, destroying the entire plane and most life on it, leaving the scattered remnants throughout space.
Half-Elf

**Half-Elves** in Mundanus are a half-breed race between humans and the many elven races. They combine the grace of the elves and the adaptability of the humans, though neither humans nor elves truly accept them.

In human society, they are often looked upon unfavourably due to their elven lineage, but they are rarely attacked, even in lone communities that rarely see a non-human. Half-elves are perhaps the only race besides the dwarves that find that they can carve a life within human culture. They often take work as merchants or ambassadors due to their innate ability to talk their way out of situations that many learned while growing up.

In elven culture, half-elves are treated slightly differently depending on the race. High elves treat half-elves as they would a human, their bloodline having been corrupted. Wood elves on the other hand tend to accept half-elves as their own, though are conscious of their shorter lifespans. The dark elves, similarly to the high elves, treat half-elves as any other surface race, hunting them down if they can. Lastly, white elves treat the half-breeds as if a mortal enemy, being treated worse than humans in their societies.

Half-elves have no racial culture, though there are a few small settlements comprised of mainly half-elves, but these are few and far between. Opinions of other races vary from individual to individual, depending on their upbringing.

## Notable Half-Elves

* Kalruhan Lucaryn
* Alarin Goldleaf
* Psi Sylvana
* Arya Arryn I
* Iaazos Skyborn
* Kyrana Alamar
* Sern Silversun
Madam Pearl

**Madam Pearl** is a Pirate Lord, though she technically owns no ship. Operating out of a brothel, known as The Oyster, she has plotted and planned so much, made so many alliances and deals that she is powerful enough in the pirate community to be known as a Pirate Lord, and plans to become the Pirate Queen of Salt Bay. She has worked with all of the other Pirate Lords, most notably Vincent Greyshine, brokering information, though if she ever gives anything for free, she is getting her debt repaid some way or another, whether the person indebted knows it or not.
Arya Arryn I

Empress **Arya Arryn I** is considered one of the wisest rulers the Empire has had, and is the first of only two women to have sat on the throne. She died personally trying to assist the dwarves of Khûndil when it fell.

Her half elven heritage was and still is considered controversial, but over time people began to see past that, as she ruled well.
Elf (disambiguation)

## Elf

The **Elves** of Mundanus are sorted into five different types, each with various grudges of their own against each of the other sub-species. These grudges finally let themselves play out in 221 IC, when the Battle of Five Paths took place.

## Subraces

### Gold Elves

The high elves in the Empire live in the city of Elias, secluded away and clinging on to their existance after they lost a brutal war with the dark elves.

Their mastery of magic is second to none, a fact that the drow have always been jealous of, and a trait that lead to their insufferable arrogance. As such most races take a dislike to the high elves, and this was the reason why the wood elves fought against them in the Battle of Five Paths.

### Green Elves

The green elves were the followers of Prince Rowan, though they were permanently changed into the Orcs by Yvv while they journeyed on the northern continent. What these elves became mirrored their previous ideologies, but taken to the extremes. Strength and martial prowess were respected in green elf society, but that soon became brutality rather than grace.

### Grey Elves

In the Empire of Lûeth, the dark elves primarily reside in the underground city of Irandé, away from the surface races that they hate so much. From there, they scheme the demise of their enemies, striking at the surface world under the cover of darkness.

The drow were always a populous race, despite their culture for murdering their siblings and family. Unlike many of the other elf races, the dark elves breed rather quickly, as a large family means more support. Until, of course, the younger sibling betrays the elder and the cycle starts anew.

### Silver Elves

The wood elves of Mundanus are arguable the most excepting race currently in existance, always giving other races a chance, though often to their detriment. This fact makes them seem naïve to the other races of elf, but they simply don't care what they think. Often, their culture has gone into isolation from the outside in order to protect the wilderness, turning away many travellers, but if they were in need they would attempt to help before sending them on their way.

### White Elves

The wild elves currently reside in Aldarnesh where they are ruled by the vicious Dread King. Their culture is fairly similar to the dark elves' in that chaos rules and none bat an eye at murder and assassination, as long as it is done correctly. The only difference is that the Dread King is the law, and none can disobey him. As such, when the Dread King wants something done, it gets done without his underlings trying to take his title from him.
Ilena

**Lady Luck** is a goddess most people find hard to worship, because in most games of chance, it’s one person pitted against another. True worshippers of Ilena know, however, that their goddess will not always help them, as she needs to remain impartial. However, in hard times, the Lady might give them a nudge, or something that remained hidden is suddenly hinted at, just enough so that the priest might survive in the jaws of defeat, and perhaps even find themselves somehow winning, despite impossible odds. In general, Ilena is impartial and will not necessarily help them, but when it comes down to it, she certainly has favourites.
Cristian Fedias

School of Conjuration

The Conjuration school and its headmaster, **Cristian Fedias**, make up the smallest of the eight academies, though their contributions to the organisation are no less than those of the other schools. Having studied breifly under Ada Imri from the Abjuration school, Headmaster Fedias tries to implement Ada's safety policies, though conjuration wizards are more wont to experiment than abjurers.
Buir

**Buir,** or the **Buirene Republic,** is a nation in western Mundanus. It is one of the major powers in the world, and has often had conflicts with their neighbours, the Crolondan Empire. The Republic's current head of state is a woman known as Ilonna Jacquier, with her second in command being General Marc Coranneau.

Until 745 IC, Buir was under the control of a monarchy, but the people rose up against the king and queen, lead by Ilonna Jacquier herself. Following a short period of brutal executions, the country experienced a period of peace until 756 IC, when the Primordial Crisis struck. During this crisis, Jacquier ordered the Buirene armies to assist their long-time rival, Crolondor, securing a peace that the monarchy before them could not obtain.
Lexicon

## The Lexicon

The Lexicon as viewed from a distance.

The **Lexicon** is an ancient Xelaran device of unknown origin. A floating cube that flies high above the ruins of some Xelaran city whose name is lost to time, only one thing is known about the Lexicon, which is its name. Many have tried to enter the cube, seeking the knowledge that must be contained within, but the cube resists any and all efforts to enter it, be it opening the locks or teleportation - it is simply impossible to breach.
Nimbus

**Nimbus** rules over Arresed, a land shrouded in deep fog. Nimbus, like Nyx, is one of the younger deathlords and is often ridiculed by the older deathlords, though Nimbus' ineptitude is all an act, forcing his foes to underestimate him. Slowly, the other deathlords are coming to realise that Nimbus must be competent, or at least have competent underlings, as he has maintained Arresed successfully for sometime without losing much territory permanently.

Followers of Nimbus often gather as members of the Nameless Shroud.
Liber Infinium

**The Liber Infinium** is an ancient tome of knowledge, though not many people can claim to have seen it. Even the most avid collectors of knowledge would give anything to have this book in their possession. The collectors that have owned this book payed large somes of money for it, only to have it vanish from their collection, unaware of the book's magical properties. Those that do know of the book's porperties know not to buy it, as it seems to have a will of its own.

How the book chooses its owners is unknown, but it always seems to be in the owner's possession, with the owner often finding it on their own bookshelf after glancing at it on a library bookshelf. Currently, the book seems attached to the bounty hunter and hero, Grum. He found the book in the library at Xelaphos before he began his journey to Pandemonium with the Orphans of Fate.

When read by someone the book hasn't chosen, the book will seem written in some strange ancient language. To the current possessor of the book, it will open to a page of knowledge they currently need. Note that this may not be the knowledge that the possessor wants, but it will always come up some way or another. If gifted to another person, however, the book can still be read, or if the book deems the owner's allies worthy enough, they may be able to read it.
Noramarah

The City of the Sphinx, featuring the Solarium at the peak of the large imperial palace.

## Map

### Inhabitants

Ancient XelaransUndead

**Noramarah** is a city on the continent to the south of the Empire of Lûeth, and a city that is largely considered to be the capital of the Ancient Xelaran Empire. The city itself is intact, and the only reason it has not been reoccupied is due to the swarms of undead that haunt the streets. Skeletal armies man the towers and walls, and any archaeological expedition sent inside always have an armed guard twice as big as the team just to survive there. Some rumours have circulated that Mortaran leads the undead there, though scholars say that it is impossible, as Mortaran was killed for good centuries before Ahriman the Great took the throne of Xelaphos.
Ilrith Darkflame

Tago Dar'en (younger brother)

Sammar Dar'en (younger brother)

Zara Dar'en (niece)

**Ilrith Darkflame** was a legendary Dark Elf hero of Mundanus who operated in the Empire of Lûeth. He was generally regarded as the only decent dark elf in existance by the humans, though many still doubt his authenticity. Ilrith vanished without trace several decades ago, much to the dismay of many, and there are several groups of people that search for him, as a hero such as he is always needed in the world.
Philina

Followers of **Philina** always try to bring joy to all those around them, taking pleasure in seeing happy faces. Her church always goes that extra step during festivals, and they ensure that everyone has a good time. They will console those feeling down without hesitation and will comfort grieving families without being asked. People often view followers of Philina as naïve and perhaps stupid, but certainly don’t turn them away, and likely enjoy being around them.
Kyrana Alamar

Amulet of Nondetection

Ring of Protection

**Kyrana Alamar** is a Half-Elf with Wood Elf and Human heritage, as well as brief enemy of Kalruhan Lucaryn in their youth, though only through affiliation with a bandit tribe to the north-west of Garwood known as the Free People. She is a Deathborn, just like Kalruhan and Vicsiara.
Nyx

**Nyx,** like Nimbus, is a relatively new deathlord to the scene, though she is taken much more seriously that Nimbus. Her lands are doused in permanent darkness, and as the Void Wastes expands, so does her darkness. She uses shock tactics to destroy her opponents in battle, even having carved out a chunk of Kronus' territory, a feat that has not been accomplished in millennia. Many of the deathlords are beginning to believe the rumours that Nyx has the Shadow Queen's personal favour, and all fear the weapon she bares, the Weight of Oblivion.

Her mortal followers are primarily members of the Order of the Grasping Void.
Shapoagataar

General **Shapoagataar** is a Half-Orc member of the Illuminated Council in the Empire of Lûeth, after being one of the founding members of the Rebellion in the Second Imperial Civil War, alongside Alaric Blackmore and Kalruhan Lucaryn. Many aren't happy with a member of such a brutish race being so close to the Empress, but since the members of the Illuminated Council are selected by the Empress herself, she is clearly fine with it.
Aeyr

As the god of youth, **Aeyr** is not often taken seriously by other religions, though none deny his importance in culture. When a child is born from Yarae, she moves on to the next child that needs birthing, so Aeyr steps in to care for the child and watch over them. When that child comes of age, Aeyr is like a babysitter seeing the child they cared for grown and independent, crying tears of joy while giving them a blessing on their life. Aeyr doesn’t have many followers but is widely revered as many families have coming-of-age celebrations when their children grow into adults.
Olga Den'gi

Olga Den'gi, as she currently appears.

Aurora Den'gi - Daughter

Boris Den'gi - Son

Angelina Den'gi - Daughter

Nikolai Den'gi - Son

Vladimir Den'gi - Son

Kazimir Den'gi - Son

**Olga Den'gi** is the advisor to King Alexander Ashford, and the matriarch of the Den'gi Family. She is known for her great intellect and magical ability, and has held a seat on the royal council ever since she was brought to The Kingdom of Vaestrom.
Dhaas

**Dhaas** is surprisingly well received for a god of death. While Yarae focuses on life and Shadai focuses on keeping the dead, Dhaas focuses on the transition between the two. He ensures that those who have died reach their destination, be it the Nine Hells, the Celestial Heavens, the Abyss, the Feywild or Stygia. He also ferries souls from Shadai’s realm to Yarae to be reincarnated if needed. While he is certainly a daunting figure, his worship is not illegal, in fact normally having a small shrine with a handful of priests at least in each small town. Dhaas’ followers perform funeral rites for those that have died, ensuring that their god finds them and ferries them to the afterlife. In some cases, if a person has cheated death and remains alive, there will often be a priest of Dhaas sat on their doorstep until they die, knowing the soul should already be dead.
Andor Hex

**Dread General Andor Hex** is a White Elf member of the Dread King's Black Council and one of its most trusted members, if it could indeed be called trust. General Hex is completely loyal to the Dread King, though he often tires of the politics that the Dread King uses, and finds that all of his peers do not appreciate the art of diplomacy like he does. He grows bored of those who rely on intimidation, preferring to match wits against opponents who utilise their cleverness and cunning to get what they want.

Currently, General Hex has been assigned to occupying Rosette with his second, Urien Nataan. He enjoys his stay their, believing that it shows that the Dread King trusts him, having been given the town the Dread King ensured to take, purely for revenge against Nigel DeRosa.
Taurus

**Taurus,** the ruler of Putris, is the most bestial of the deathlords by nature. A large, brutish shapechanger, Taurus never remains in the same form, though he prefers bodies with horns, favouring the form of the minotaur. He is often looked down upon by the other deathlords for his uncouth behaviour and for his wrath, though Taurus doesn't care; as long as he can smash some skulls, he is happy.

The main following of Taurus are known as the Obsidian Bulwark.

Belgik works closely with the Orphans of Fate, being fond of members Wander and Grum. However, Belgik is noted to have a bad relationship with the lord of Rosette, Nigel DeRosa, especially after the sausage incident.
Administrator

**The Administrator** is a multitude of personalities of unusual beings belonging to Krystal. These beings occupy several key positions in Krystallan government, and until peak of the Primordial Crisis, were dormant, leaving these positions unfilled. There are apparently untold personalities that make up the Administrator, but of them there are six primary ones.

* Icarus - the Architect, oversees the construction of buildings and fortresses in Kryst, and is said to have been the designer of the eight arcane towers surrounding Kryst, as well as the barrier that protects Krystal.
* Hades - the Custodian, a warrior able to summon an army controlled by his will. He is dedicated to the protection of Krystal, and is known for following orders and laws to the letter.
* Hekate - the Magister, the curator of all the magical knowledge Krystal possesses. She is primarily committed to teaching the people of Krystal to be the best magic wielders to better uphold their position as world guardians.
* Persephone - the Hospitalier, devoted to the people of Krystal and keeping them healthy. While she has the capability to heal physically, she prefers to treat emotional wounds, keeping the people of Krystal from trauma.
* Vulcan - the Artisan, working closely with Hekate, Vulcan vowed to create more of the sacred technology of the Krystallans, knowledge that only he is allowed to possess.
* Atlas - the Navigator. Not much is known about Atlas, other than that he is missing, and is known for 'holding the sky together.'

Other personalities of the Administrator are rumoured to exist, but there is little to no information on these personalities.

* Aphrodite
* Hestia
* Hermes
* Helios
* Apollo
* Thanatos
* Sisyphus
* Achilles

Shooting of Grandong Sinthgunt

The marketplace where Grandong was fatally shot.

Local guardsman

**The shooting of Grandong Sinthgunt** was an event that took place on the streets of Xelaphos, Lûeth, involving the death of dwarf Grandong Sinthgunt, Sheila Sinthgunt's ex-father, after he attempted to steal a pair of slacks.

## Details

Grandong had fled to Xelaphos from Khârond after seeing how 'ugly' Sheila was at birth. When he arrived at the city, he immediately stole a pair of slacks from a local tailor. He was seen escaping the establishment, slacks in hand. After around a minute of running aimlessly around the city, he arrived in a marketplace where he was shot to death by a guard on a nearby watchtower using an arbalest.

## Legacy

A vigil was held in Khârond, wherein Grandong's coffin would also be buried in a nearby grove, led by Petite Paulina Sinthgunt and Maude Sinthgunt, his wives, who claimed his death was unjust. They would be the only attenders of the vigil. After about an hour of nobody showing up, they opted to push his coffin off a cliff instead.
Nikolai Den'gi

Nikolai Den'gi

Viktor Den'gi - Brother

Aurora Den'gi - Sister

Boris Den'gi - Brother

Angelina Den'gi - Sister

Kazimir Den'gi - Brother

Vladimir Den'gi - Brother

**Nikolai Den'gi** is the spymaster for The Kingdom of Vaestrom and the third oldest son of the Den'gi Family. Due to a recessive gene, Nikolai is the only green dragonborn in the current, living Den'gi Family, which is a fact he despises about himself. He lived much of his younger years in the courts, using his skills at diplomacy and intrigue to excel above his siblings, of whom he was deeply jealous.
Aquila

**Aquila** the Eagle Lord is the ruler of Cadere, a region full of ground perfect for farming Shimmerweed, a pale and thin plant that residents of Stygia can use to enhance their ability to channel magic for a short time, and is thus a valuable resource. Aquila herself is a cunning ruler, and has made several deals with Phobos, the ruler of Sanguinar, the territory north of Cadere, thus drastically reducing the chances that her territory gets attacked and, even if it did, she always makes sure that any battle she fights is fought on her terms, only fighting if she can ensure victory.

Mortal followers of Aquila often full under the banners of the Templars of the Winged Prophet.
Alari

While followers of Philina are a joy to be around because of their innocence, followers of **Alari** are often the exact opposite. They are often bitter and corrupt nobles who worship Alari in secret, and it is hinted that Alari works closely with Jhal. While in the Empire, Alari worship is tabooed, but elsewhere in the world, her worship is more open, such as in the white elf country of Aldarnesh.
The Grand Duchy of Gallia

## Summary

Gallia is an autonomous Duchy, led by Duchess Millenia Weiss, that encompasses the North-East part of Valdia. It is famous for it's wines, which are enabled by the region's volcanic soil and ideal combination of sunny and rainy days. The southern area of the country is comprised primarily of rolling countryside within a warm and temperate climate. Further north within the country however are the Gallian High-Lands, a mountainous region entombed in ice and snow. The people of Gallia value grace and decorum above all else, and the nobility often hold extravagant parties and balls.

The Grand Duchy of Gallia is an avid supporter of the Church of Concord, and due to it's devotion the Duchy is allowed some level of autonomy by the church.

Despite the serene and idyllic appearance of Gallia, beneath it's surface are a network of unexplored ruins and tunnels belonging to the ancient Vaestran mages, an archaeic reminder of the Kingdom's previous hold on the land.

## Politics

The Grand Duchy of Gallia is a hereditary monarchy, ruled by Duchess Millenia Weiss from the capital city, Neve, on the northern border. Lower ranking nobles may arise by the grace of the Duchess, rather than through an exclusively hereditary nobility. There is an established list of aristocratic titles along with appropriate forms of address. Titles are granted by the reigning Duke/Duchess.

In The Grand Duchy of Gallia, land is owned exclusively by the aristocracy and titles are granted by the Duchess Millenia Weiss herself.  Power rests solely in the Duke/Duchess similar to The Kingdom of Vaestrom where power descends from the throne, and unlike The Narenhall Alliance whose power derives from the equal standing of Lords within The League.

Many Gallian nobles belong to its renowned knightly order, the Guild of Beautifcation, which have recently come under the command of the Church of Concord. The martial training of the guild is legendarily harsh, instilling in the knights a fierce discipline and code of honour that takes precedence over the value of their own lives. The penalty for dishonour is death, something that a guild member would welcome if he or she has failed their country. They are honoured by many and are considered amongst the best of all soldiers. They also have unlimited rights when it comes to handling the peasantry; which causes many conflicts between the classes.

## Military

As well as having preferential access to the Paladins of Concord, Gallia displays martial prowess in the Guild of Beautification, which boasts great skill in it's infantry and cavalry.
Council of Thirteen

**The Council of Thirteen** was a group of thirteen of the most powerful elven wizards in the world. There used to be fourteen, many thousands of years ago, but since the rise and fall of Mortaran the Lich King, the group no longer has necromancers, rather than one. The council also only allows for one evocation expert at a time, given their supposed dislike of violence.

The Council recently turned up dead in the forests of Elfhome, destroyed by powerful magical energy. No one knows who the killer was.

Takumi Muro

**Takumi Muro** (室 匠, *Muro Takumi*) is a supporting character in *Raging Loop*. He is a farmer residing in Yasumizu.

## Personality

His position in the village is unique, as he is young enough to connect with and be seen as a "big brother" to the youths of Yasumizu but old enough to be respected by the elders. He is kind, helpful, and outgoing but tends to get emotional and violent when those he cares about are in danger. He views Tae Yamawaki as somewhat of a mother figure, and cares about her deeply. Alternatively, he casts suspicion on all outsiders, but still shows them respect. He tends to put his emotions before logic during the feasts, and as a result, he has put himself into some compromising situations.

## Etymology

* The name **Takumi** means "artisan" (匠).
* Takumi's surname **Muro** means "room, greenhouse/icehouse, cellar" (室).
Sadaat

The **god of blades** has a seemly niche aspect to be worshipped, and many who worship him might as well worship Yldr instead. But those who want to fight without the aggressiveness of Yldr’s teachings, without having to spill blood violently, might follow Sadaat instead.

While the followers of Yldr are often bloodthirsty barbarians, the followers of Sadaat are calm and collected, often being elegant and merciful in their fighting style, being duelists perhaps. Followers of Sadaat value their opponent’s life, and while they want to triumph over it, they do not necessarily want to snuff it out.

Tomas Girard

Tomas Girard, as he appears currently.

Lady Eleanor Page - Future Step-Mother

Elaine - Retainer

## Overview

**Tomas Girard** is the only son of **Lord Gregor Girard**, thus making him next in line to rule the town of **Runiere**. He was born into the life of a commoner, with his father being a common soldier at the time, and his mother, **Marie**, being a respected seamstress. **Gregor** shielded his son from the harsh realities of war, and thus directed him towards a more academic focus, but **Tomas** yearned to learn the art of combat, and would frequently sneak out to train in swordfaire. Since he trained alone, all he achieved through this was the embedding of his errors.

**Tomas** was 10 years old when the **Primordial Crisis** occurred, and the loss of his mother affected him deeply. **Gregor** kept **Tomas** locked away in their home for the months that the war against the **Primordials** raged, with his elderly keeper, **Elaine**, taking close care of him. **Elaine** and **Tomas** developed a deep connection during this time, with **Tomas** viewing **Elaine** as a second mother.

Once the **Primordial Crisis** ended and his father was appointed the new lord of **Runiere**, **Tomas** struggled to adapt to the life of a noble. He enjoyed the lavish lifestyle, but the pressure placed upon him by the citizens of **Ruinere** quickly became overwhelming. His lack of martial prowess when compared to his father lead to him becoming an object of ridicule for the townsfolk, leading to him being dubbed "**Tomas the Weak, Lord of the Frail**".

Due to this constant mockery, **Tomas** spends most of his time in the keep under the care of **Elaine**, and only comes out when required through his responsibilities as a noble.
Orcus

**Orcus** sits upon his throne in his walking palace that predominantly straddles the River Styx in Sepulchre. He rules over his people with an iron fist and is a master of intrigue in the political scene. He has a burning hatred of all other deathlords, having vowed centuries ago to send them all to the void, save for one. The one deathlord he is hesitant to fight is Astaria, whom he has taken a particular liking to. However, Astaria mocks Orcus' attempts to court her by constantly raiding his lands and destroying his ships' supply routes, and despite Astaria's clear disdain for him, Orcus still treats her far better than he would the other deathlords.

A prominent cult of Orcus' is called the Knights of the Styx.

**Boris Den'gi,** commonly known as the Gourmand, is a prominent military strategist in the Kingdom of Vaestrom, and the second oldest son of the Den'gi Family.

Firak Do'neld

**Firak Do'neld** is a Dark Elf mechant in Irandé, owning L'Maligore Mua. He is generally a reserved individual who rarely speaks other than when talking business, upon which his personality completely changes. He will gladly talk about the enchantments on a particular item or weapon, and is always interested in collecting, and is known to offer ludicrous sums for some items if he doesn't already have them.
