recursal/Fanatic-Fandom huggingface dataset:
Cora Blackvale

Cora Blackvale is an unassuming but extremely powerful warlock and the wife of Basil Sherwin, as well as the mother of Bastion and Adrian and the graddaughter of Ingrid Blackvale.

She is a high council member and holds the title Cora the Corruptor for her unparalleled affliction and mind control prowess, which her son Adrian can only hope to match at some point.

Despite being a feared and fierce duelist, Cora cares deeply about both of her sons and tends to be rather shy in public.

## Trivia

* Cora is in fact the most decorated and (still) undefeated solo duelist of her time, though unlike Winston she has never fought Lucian. She can still take Winston down handily, though he hopes to change this.
* No one - not even Sandoval - makes chocolate chip cookies like Cora Blackvale. Some say that Winston has gone easy in his dueling attempts in order to maintain a supply of them, though this is unproven.
Family Gray

Family Gray is an American-Entropaean line dominated by mages. The Grays are known for being rational, intelligent, and innovative, but also cool and detached in some cases. Quite a few Grays are on the autism spectrum, or were suspected to be.

Unsurprisingly, the most characteristic physical feature of Family Gray is gray eyes.

## Trivia

* Family Gray is primarily seated in Second City, along with Family Wilmington.
* After the time warp, Ivan and Ignatius Gray will Second City's House of Gray to 'any Lear that may appear' in honor of Winston. A new line of magical Lears indeed occupies the estate in Second City's future, descended from Winston's cousin in another instance of spontaneous magic. House of Gray maintains its name throughout this time and contains a portrait of Nora and Winston in its great room.
Europe

Europe is one of the most beautiful places in the world but it also has many secrets and a dark side that Americans don't know about, some unknown history was never told mysteries that never get solved in The Continent of Europe, there also haunted places in Europe and all 4 of them are Greece, Whitby, Transylvania and Slovakia, Notre Dame is where The Monster Bell Ringer Lives, Liverpool was once haunted but not anymore London is a beautiful City, Germany was once a place where the german Nazis live but not anymore, Ireland is a Magical Place, Europe is very beautiful even today.
The Dark and The Fabulous

The Dark and the Fabulous is a tailoring shop in Second City, co-owned by Adrian and the mage Flora Faustian. Their current apprentice is Sanjeet, a clumsy but promising teenage warlock from Ruddishire.

## Trivia

* Adrian and Flora are quite different and hence love to insult each other, though they usually mean well. Flora considers Adrian to be the grandson she never had but will obviously never actually say this.
* Sanjeet is laughably deferent to both Flora and Adrian.
* The Dark and The Fabulous is responsible for most of Second City and Demari Primus' arena costumes, as well as quite a few council robes and pointy hats (particularly for Sandoval, who loses his all the time).
Lovely (slang)

*Lovely* is a slang term for a magical person born with light as their primary dimension. Light is more common among mages and is in fact the rarest dominating essence to have.

#### **List of known "lovelies"**

* Alistair Wilmington
* Genevieve Gray
* Ivan Gray
* Lester Gray
* Seamus Fitzroy
* Sandoval
* Alice Stowe
* Shawna Stowe
* Daisuke Sherwin
Altus

Altus is an enormous phoenix and the primary mount of Winston Lear. He is particularly selective in which humans he allows to ride or touch him.

Altus viscerally dislikes Stella and Sandoval for absolutely no reason and minimally tolerates Winston's brother and Norm. He loves Adrian, again for absolutely no reason, and has his ups and downs with everyone else.

Altus has a bad habit of getting his tail feathers entangled with Eurydia, the dragon belonging to Winston's brother. He seems to get along well with (or at least respect) non-magical cats, such as Mercurius and Pluto.
Tower of fuck you

Princess Akireum

Princess Akireum of Liju is the demigod daughter of Prince Liju Zianhito and the goddess Selune.

## Description

### Appearance

Akireum appears as a human girl with pale skin, golden eyes and dark purple hair. She most often wears her long hair in space buns or pigtails.

### Personality

Akireum is best described as a menace. She is creative, intelligent and strong willed.

## Background

Akireum was the result of an affair between Zianhito and Selune. She was looked down upon by many because she was born out of wedlock and for her own safety, her family did not dispute this. But amongst her family, her true nature is known and she is looked up to.

She is close with her bodyguard Eunhwa and is one of the few people in the world who can ride a dragon.

## Relationships

### Eunhwa

Akireum and Eunhwa bonded when she was a child. Eunhwa allows Akireum and a few of her fellows to ride with her.

### Prince Morimaki

Akireum's older cousin and brother figure. Mori is quite protective of his cousin because he knows her destiny is dangerous.
Helen Stone

Helen Stone is a non-magical veterinary technician and the longtime romantic partner of Stella. The two met at a united magical/non-magical convention for animal care, and both are passionate about canines of all kinds.

## Personality

Helen is a dedicated and quiet woman with the occasional mischievous streak. She cares deeply about animals and is especially interested in the ways that magic can be used to help ordinary pets - as well has how conventional veterinary care may be of use to magical creatures whose owners otherwise take it for granted. She and Stella get on very well and enjoy drinking and dancing on either side of Entropaea.

## Fate

After the loss of Winston and Nora in the time warp, Stella spends less and less time with Helen as she dedicates herself to the new United Magical Council. Helen eventually grows resentful and accuses Stella of no longer prioritizing the relationship.

After 10 years together, Helen breaks up with Stella for "choosing magic over us and our own dreams." She eventually attends veterinary school full-time and fulfills her life goal of setting up a practice for creatures of all kinds in Second City.

## Trivia

* Nearly a year of no-contact after their split, Stella brings her demonic dog, Fergus, into Helen's new veterinary practice.
Ignatius Gray

Ignatius ("Iggy") Gray is a hobbyist inventor and the son of Willem Diamond and the mage Genevieve Gray, as well as the elder brother of Norm's father, Ivan Gray.

Iggy lacks magic but is respected in the magical world for his ingenuity. He developed a pair of assistive googles for himself and others on the autism spectrum, capable of tempering sensory stimuli and providing real-time emotional feedback. When it became clear that his eldest niece was autistic as well, he didn't hesitate to provide her a pair of her own.

For their part, Norm and others prefer the goggles to permanent spells or mental changes, as they enable them to reap the unique benefits of being on the spectrum when not in use.

## Trivia

* Despite being non-magical, Iggy proudly takes the name Gray rather than that of his father, though he gets along perfectly well with him.
* Iggy is fond of Nora and affectionately calls his niece "Little Lady," which would probably anger her if said by anyone else. He is also one of the few people to be completely unfazed by and accepting of Norm's existence, happily calling him "Little Man" instead.
* Iggy tries but fails to make a pair of goggles that his former sister-in-law Petra is comfortable with.
* Iggy has long held magic as a special interest and knows more about it than his own brother, as well as many magical folk in general. He also knows a number of potion recipes.
Lysandra Vectorvale

Lysandra Vectorvale was a warlock, eventual demon, and the mother of Lucian. Her unrequited love for Waldemar Sherwin V, combined with the typical Vectorvale mania, drove her to torment and ultimately drive away her sister and nephew.

With Katherine out of the way, Lysandra continued her pursuit of Waldemar V. Her behaviors grew even more erratic and dangerous, to the point of her own death in an especially botched hex.

For better or worse, Lysandra was never truly gone. A few years after her suspected end, an apparently undead version of herself sought to claim Waldemar once again.

This time, The Banshee got what she wanted: a child, albeit a demidemon by circumstance (and one she was utterly unfit to raise). For his part, Waldemar pitied, welcomed, and fiercely defended his second son - in particular from his mother.

## Trivia

* Lucian inherited a few demonic physical features from Lysandra, such as her sharp teeth. His extremities are the pale blue color of her entire body, and though his eyes are not naturally red, they turn that way upon excitement or agitation.
Basil Sherwin

### Other Relatives

Waldemar Sherwin III, Waldemar VI Sherwin-Vectorvale, Sandoval Sandoval-Sherwin, Stella Sandoval-Sherwin, Lucian Sherwin-Vectorvale, Daisuke Sherwin, Eleanor Sherwin-Stowe, Eli Sherwin-Stowe

Basil Sherwin is a warlock, the husband of Cora Blackvale, and the father of Bastion and Adrian. He is the younger brother of Waldemar Sherwin V and the elder brother of Sylvester Sherwin.

Basil is the tallest of his brothers and is also considered the most serious. In fact, in their arena days, the team of Waldemar the Cursed, Basil the Reaper, and Sylvester the Firelord earned a great deal of fear and respect.

Unlike his brothers, Basil has had a relatively calm and tragedy-free family life.

## Trivia

* At 6'5" (~195.5cm), Basil is the tallest of his brothers. His older son Bastion is even taller.
* Like his younger son, Basil appreciates good coffee and high fashion. The two also enjoy watching Drag Space with the twins and Lucian.
* Basil is an accomplished pianist like his older son, though Bastion eventually surpasses him in skill.
Iridess

Iridess is a town on the southern Entropaean plains and the seat of Family Stowe. It is known for its yearly Festival of Lights.

## Trivia

* Iridess boasts the second-largest magical library in Entropaea, after the Blackvale Library.
* In the Entropaean future, Iridess, along with Encantadora and Volvakov, is completely submerged and hence abandoned.
* Iridess is the southernmost Entropaean city with an ice hockey team: the Iridescence.
* Like Tenebris and Volvakov, Iridess is considered to be socially conservative.
Shinto

Shinto is an enormous, magical snow leopard and the primary mount of Sandoval. He is extremely gentle and loyal, despite the rather demonic appearance of his eyes.

Shinto loves to nuzzle things and will let almost anyone ride him. He is incapable of flight but boasts a maximum land speed of 150 mph (~240 kmh).
Katori Suo

Katori Suo is the genderfluid demigod child of Bahamut.

### Personality

She is a reckless and carefree person. Their father's gifts have left them confident. Katori tends to be more solitary as the result of her countless hours spent in the shrine. She takes a very head-on approach to battle.

## Background

Bahamut and her mother Nami met when Nami was tending her family's shrine. Believing Bahamut to be homeless, she showed him kindness and allowed him to stay. He revealed himself and the two conceived Katori. Though initially raised as a girl, Katori became aware of their genderfluidity and also uses he/him pronouns.

He was raised attending to their family shrine in Hikazan. His mother married when he was five to Ren Hirofilla. His mom and stepdad had their siblings Naowoon and Hakrin.

She is a bit of living legend in Southern Liju and anyone from the area recognizes Firestarter.

## Relationships

### Tanpo

Tan and Katori met by chance when Tori began her pilgrimage. She saved him from being killed by bandits and he has dedicated himself to writing tales about her since she is the most interesting subject he knows. They sometimes sleep together, more out of boredom rather than attraction and only on Tori's masculine days.
Volvakov

Volvakov is a somewhat remote town on the small Northwestern Island of Entropaea. It is the seat of Family Vectorvale.

## Trivia

* As Volvakov was the original family name of Vectorvale, some believe that the town itself was originally called Vectorvale (which itself sounds more like a city), and that the two were reversed at some point.
* Volvakov does not have a town square, but, rather, a town pentagon, which is in fact octagonal in shape. Some say that this was a freak natural occurrence from Volvakov's seismic activity, but most agree that the Vectorvales just don't make any sense.
* Waldemar Sherwin V did not enjoy visiting Volvakov during his time with Katherine. He did not bring Lucian there very often, either, and instead raised his second son in Demari Primus.
* Volvakov's ice hockey team is the Void of Volvakov. Their biggest rivalry is probably Second City, in part due to the sheer contrast of the fandoms and their colors.
Wikicoste

Wikicoste is a small fishing town located somewhere in the American Midwest and the hometown of Winston. It exists outside of Entropaea and otherwise has no magical residents or association.

## Trivia

* Wikicoste is usually pronounced "wick-uh-COST-ee".
* Winston does not maintain much emotional connection to Wikicoste and never visits it, though he knows quite a few things about fishing.

> *"Don't presume sentiment where there isn't any. It's where I originate - nothing more."*

Episodio 16: Una noche larga

### Descripción

En este episodio, las Arpías pasan una buena noche de descanso sin contratiempo de ningún tipo. Bueno, no.

### Resumen

En Lagoazul, un pueblecito encalado, las Arpías pasan algo de tiempo junto al lago de la ciudad, donde Lyrial se queda a dormir, mientras el resto pasa la noche en una taberna después de haber curado a Vistra. En dicha taberna, interactuan con Parla, que resulta ser un poco pesada para gusto de las Arpías, lo cual lleva a Seren a pedirle que moleste activamente a Taliran. Tali, por supuesto, se venga a su manera.

### Trivia

* En este capítulo Seren se corta la trenza y pasa a tener el pelo rapado por un lado y media melena por el otro.
Soda Shirotori

Mist Kitty illustration

**Soda Shirotori** (白鳥 ソーダ) is a supporting character in Vermillenia. Known as "Mist Kitty", she is a very notorious member of Vermillia, popular for her ability to conduct large scale assassinations. Soda is a part of the most elite branch in Vermillia, Assassino Six.

Waldemar Sherwin V

### Other Relatives

Waldemar Sherwin III, Bastion Blackvale-Sherwin, Sandoval Sandoval-Sherwin, Stella Sandoval-Sherwin, Adrian Blackvale-Sherwin, Daisuke Sherwin, Eleanor Sherwin-Stowe, Eli Sherwin-Stowe

Waldemar Sherwin V is the father of Waldemar VI and former husband of Katherine Vectorvale, as well as the eventual, unwitting father of Lucian, via Katerine's crazed sister, Lysandra. He is the eldest of three warlock brothers and a respected demonologist.

Waldemar is an exceptionally resilient and hopeful character, though his adoring pride in Lucian is frowned upon by those who consider his half-human son to be no better than the worst of the Vectorvales. Even his youngest brother, who helped him raise Lucian alongside the twins, is skeptical that Lucian can amount to anything harmless.
Waldemar Sherwin III

### Other Relatives

Waldemar Sherwin V, Waldemar Sherwin VI, Basil Sherwin, Sylvester Sherwin, Bastion Blackvale-Sherwin, Adrian Blackvale-Sherwin, Stella Sandoval-Sherwin, Sandoval Sandoval-Sherwin, Lucian Sherwin-Vectorvale, Daisuke Sherwin, Eleanor Sherwin-Stowe, Eli Sherwin-Stowe

Waldemar Sherwin III was a warlock and the closest friend of Vivian Gray, as well as the paternal great-grandfather of Waldemar VI, Bastion, Sandoval, Stella, Adrian, and Lucian.

Waldemar was renowned for his skill with demons, but also for his immense dedication - whether to things or other people. He effectively raised Genevieve Gray alongside his own son, Waldemar IV.

A running joke in both the Gray and Sherwin families is that Waldemar was the *actual* father of Genevieve, since so little was known about Vivian's methods.
Second City

Second City is (indeed) Entropaea's second-oldest urban establishment and the primary seat of Family Gray and Family Wilmington. It is best known for the Dark and Light Magical Councils that at one point include Nora, Winston, Winston's elder brother, Stella, Sandoval, and Adrian, as well as the post time warp United Magical Council.

> *"There is no fracking in second city."*
>
>

## Trivia

* When Winston is posthumously awarded a High Archmage title, he is commemorated with a statue in Second City's town square. After the natural deaths of Stella, Shawna, Wendell, and Winston's elder brother, they are likewise featured in a nearby dedication to the United Magical Council.
* The Second City Light Council is primarily funded by Family Gray. Meanwhile, in addition to that of Demari Primus, the Sherwins donate a great deal to Second City's Dark Council. The uncanny number of Sherwins on either council is said to be unrelated, as the twins and Adrian are objectively excellent magical practitioners (though obviously grew up rich enough to train as such..).
* Second City's ice hockey team is the Second City Shazmatazz. Winston and Sandoval are both huge fans, as is Varo Vectorvale in Second City's future. The Shaz fandom is known for its love of outrageous, neon colors, sequins, and even cheap potions sold at games to turn fans' bodies bright colors. This alone is (almost) enough to convert Nora from her loyalty to the Neihgaughkraighe Narwhals.
* Some of Second City's well-known establishments have included:
	+ **The Entropaean Town Hall and Continuing Education Center**, where Winston and Bastion spend a great deal of time teaching non-magical subjects. Lucian is also based here as an architectural draftsman for the city government, which arguably keeps him out of trouble.
	+ **The Dark and the Fabulous**, a custom tailoring and alterations shop co-owned by Flora Faustian and Adrian.
	+ **The Frosting Mage**, a cakery run by Sandoval and Stella.
	+ **The Priestess of Pie,** a friendly rival bakery run by Alice Stowe.
	+ **Wilmington's Artifacts and Objects of All Sorts**, one of many regional distribution and repair shops owned by the Wilmington Family.
	+ **The Second City Skyport**, where Nora works as a combined magical and non-magical air traffic controller.
	+ **Yon Kompressor Kastle**, a popular restaurant and potion house.
	+ **The Entropaean Center for All Creatures**, a combined magical and non-magical veterinary office opened by Stella's ex-partner, Dr. Helen Stone.
	+ **The Second City School of Magic**, where Nora, Wendell, and many other Grays and Wilmingtons were trained. Sandoval likewise took on his light studies here after a break in the non-magical world.
	+ Various historical buildings and residences belonging to Family Gray and, to a lesser extent, Family Wilmington.
Honor

### Specialties

Electro- and terrakinesis, telekinesis, mind control, lumogenesis and lumokinesis

### Special magical talents

Full shapeshifting, enhanced physical strength, raw power

## Personal

### Quirks

Autism spectrum disorder (unconfirmed; it was far more pronounced in their previous forms)

Honor is Honora (Nora) Gray's first Second City persona after the time warp, and an eventual leader of The Peons of Adrian.

They are a genderless individual with an appearance between that of Nora and Norm, but they act far less excitable than either.

Honor seems to be nearly allistic, or at least has enough experience to maintain the appearance with less downtime than Nora or Norm. This is fortunate, as the post-time warp Second City (and most of Entropaea) has devolved to a social dystopia where "neurodefectives" (or anyone suspected to be potentially unstable with magic) are no longer allowed to perform it publicly.

## Personality

Honor shares many traits with Nora, Norm, and, most notably, Vivian Gray. Like Nora and Vivian, they are rational and cool-headed, though Honor seems to lack Nora's sense of childlike wonder. Like Norm, Honor is self-confident and extremely assertive, though they lack his volatile temper.

Honor is far more socially adept than either Norm or Nora and seems to have a better sense of fashion as well. On the other hand, they can be untrusting, prideful, and conflict-averse.

## Trivia

* Honor is fine with being called he, she, or they - whatever the speaker chooses.
* Like Adrian and many other Peons, Honor has electively undergone an unspecified number of alteration hexes.
* Much to Adrian's amusement, Honor likes to wear their hair slicked back in some way or another.
* Honor does not use Nora/Norm's assistive tech.
* Honor practices primarily as a mage.
* Like Adrian and most other Peons, Honor is a vocal critic of Garamond Gray, who initially doesn't know that they are actually Nora and Norm as well.
* Honor's favorite outfits incorporate both the Vectorvee and the symbol of Family Gray. The Vectorvee is meant to be extremely subtle, as Honor claims publicly to have only distant relations to the Grays and doesn't reveal their true identity until an especially tense debate with Garamond.
* For quite a while, Honor spends their nights as either Nora or Norm, earning a great deal of money in underground arena fights and spending a great deal of it on careless sexual exploits.
* Honor eventually abandons their form after Garamond Gray's policies fall out of favor. They come to realize that it was yet another form of self-preservation and dissociation from their true self: Norm.

> *"Oh, get over yourself."*
>
>

- Adrian to Honor, or maybe Honor to Adrian, at various points.
Mercurius

Mercurius is the non-magical and beloved pet cat of Winston. He is exceptionally large, exceptionally pushy (for a cat), and exceptionally playful, especially for his relatively old age.

He seems to get along well with Winston's phoenix mount, though not so well with Nora, who finds him a bit overwhelming.

On the other hand, Sandoval and many of the Sherwin cousins adore Mercurius and find him fascinating, having grown up mostly around demons and otherwise magical creatures.
Arabella Stowe

Arabella Stowe was a mage, high council member, and the great-grandmother of Shawna and Alice Stowe. She was a contemporary and close friend of Vivian Gray, although she also shared many views with Alistair Wilmington and was occasionally subject to their complaints about one another.

Unlike Seamus Fitzroy, Arabella was considered a traditionalist and was initially hesitant to bring chaotic and hot magic into the general light councils.
Alteration Hexes for the Discerning Androgyne

*Alteration Hexes for the Discerning Androgyne* is a bodily alteration spellbook written by Adrian. It was first tested by Nora and is responsible for Norm's un-suppression and, later, Honor's existence.

The book is later refined and published. It becomes widely popular even outside the genderqueer community for its hair solutions, particularly, "*A hex to keep only what's on your head*".

> *"OHMYGOD; OHMYGOD; THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!"*
>
>

> "Are you kidding, A? This is *GREAT!*"
>
>
Family Fitzroy

Family Fitzroy is an Irish-Entropaean mage line known for its progressive views and physical, often unconventional magical combat styles. Like the Sandovals, many Fitzroys are extremely skilled in fire magic.

Personality-wise, the Fitzroys are often extroverted, joyful, and open-minded. In fact, Seamus Fitzroy spearheaded the acceptance of chaotic and hot magics into the Entropaean light magical council structure, which was previously dominated by order and cold.

## Trivia

* The Fitzroys are based in the city of Ruddishire in northwestern Entropaea.
Family Sandoval

Family Sandoval is a Spanish-Entropaean warlock line known for its love of fire magic. The Sandovals are based in Encantadora, the southernmost major settlement in Entropaea.

The Sandovals are known for being friendly, excitable, and jocular. Like the Grays, many family members are also neurodiverse.

## Trivia

* Sandoval's given name is especially ironic in that he is incapable of hot magic and, hence, any fire.
* Many of the Sandovals have distinctively blue eyes.
Genevieve Gray

Genevieve Gray was a mage and the only child of Vivian Gray, though she was not carried or birthed by her mother. She was the grandmother of Norm and was unusually outgoing, especially given the rest of the Gray family's nature. Much of Genevieve's childhood was spent around Family Sherwin, and she considered Waldemar III and Waldemar IV to be her adoptive father and brother, respectively.

Gen's foggy origins were seldom talked or worried about, and she went on to marry Willem Diamond, a non-magical man, while remaining active and well-liked in the light magic community.

She eventually had two sons - Ignatius (Iggy), who was without magic, and Ivan, a mage and the father of Norm.
Stella

### Other Relatives

Waldemara Sherwin, Waldemar Sherwin III, Santiago Sandoval, Waldemar Sherwin IV, Waldemar Sherwin V, Juan Sandoval, Basil Sherwin, Waldemar Sherwin VI, Bastion, Adrian, Lucian, Diego Sandoval, Aryn Sandoval

Stella is a fire-specialized mage, Second City council member, and the twin sister of Sandoval. She is the second child of Sylvester Sherwin and the late Sylvia Sandoval, but only by a few minutes.

Stella is best known for forming the first United Magical Council and leading Second City through extreme turmoil after the time warp.

## Personality

In stark contrast to her anxious twin, Stella is extremely laid back and can master just about any kind of magic she (doesn't necessarily) set her mind to. She admits to being a bit lazy sometimes but always seems to follow through on her commitments.

Especially before the time warp, Stella is often criticized for not taking things seriously enough. She can also be stubborn, though her broader open-mindedness and loyalty are unmatched by all but the likes of Norm and her brother.

## Fate

After the loss of Winston and Norm, the Second City light and dark councils disband. Along with Winston's elder brother, Shawna Stowe, and Wendell Wilmington, Stella forms the United Magical Council and takes on its leadership as the city destabilizes from new discoveries of corruption and, of course, magical fracking.

Stella's unusual level of dedication to the United Council leads to great honor as one of Entropaea's High Archmages, but the time commitment eventually erodes her relationship of ten years.

## Trivia

* Stella attended the Lyceum Umbram in Tenebris for demonology before training in fire magic. About a year into her studies, she met her girlfriend Helen at an offsite convention for combined non-magical and magical creature care.
* Stella's favorite mount is an enormous, three-headed demonic canine named Fergus. She is a self-proclaimed 'crazy dog lady' and loves pups of all kinds, magical or not.
* Fergus was named after Fergus Faustian, Stella's pre-coming out teenage boyfriend.
* Stella is one of the first people in Second City that Norm is able to form a real friendship with. Though her brother and cousins followed, it was Stella who first looked past Norm (initially as Nora)'s quirks and insisted on helping them out of their shell.
Encantadora

Encantadora is the southernmost major settlement in Entropaea and the home of Family Sandoval. It is a flat, coastal city not far from the plains of Iridess to its north.

## Trivia

* Sylvia Sandoval loved her hometown of Encantadora, as did Sylvester Sherwin. They planned to raise Stella and Sando there until Sylvia's death, after which Sylvester returned to Demari Primus to be with his eldest brother.
* Encantadora is home to the Southern Entropaean School of Magic, which is considered the most intense friendly rival of Second City (even moreso than First Entropaean).
* Encantadora is the most common entry port for new Entropaeans from non-magical families and was indeed the first part of Entropaea seen by Winston Lear.
Katherine Vectorvale

Katherine Vectorvale was a warlock, the eldest daughter of Natalia Vectorvale, and first granddaughter of Vladimir Vectorvale. Unlike her mother, she displayed the usual instabilities of Family Vectorvale, though to a far lesser degree.

Much to her sister Lysandra's envy, Katherine was the true love of Waldemar Sherwin V, and hence the mother of Waldemar Sherwin VI. Lysandra's jealous rage proved dangerous enough to drive her sister away from her husband, with their son in tow.

Neither Katherine nor her son were heard from for many years, until Waldemar VI came out of the woodwork with an irrational but intense vendetta against Lucian, his younger half-brother.

## Trivia

* Katherine wears the Vectorvee, the symbol of family Vectorvale, on a gold pendant.
* Another Vectorvee pendant gifted to Nora by Lucian after the time warp is suspiciously similar.
* Unlike many warlocks, Katherine is highly skilled in lumogenesis and lumokinesis.
* Katherine eventually remarried, and her later children included the ancestor of Varo Vectorvale.
Neurodiverse Characters

Entropaea is the proud home of many persons under the neurodiversity umbrella. Though such differences in brain wiring can be difficult, they can also come with great gifts, inside and outside of magical practice.

Some of Entropaea's neurodiverse have included:

* Vivian Gray (suspected autism)
* Santiago Sandoval (suspected ADHD and Tourette Syndrome)
* Iggy Gray (autism)
* Ivan Gray (dyslexia)
* Sylvia Sandoval (dyslexia)
* Sandoval (ADHD)
* Stella (dyslexia)
* Nora/Norm (autism)

## Trivia

* In Entropaea's future, neurodiverse persons are considered "neurodefective" and are barred from performing magic publicly for fear of their instability with it. The Convergence Enchantment is developed in conjunction with this.
Felix Fitzroy

Felix Fitzroy is a fire-specialized mage, council member, and eventual high archmage. Like his great-grandfather and many other Fitzroys, he values non-magical skill and is hence an expert swordsman.

Felix involves himself heavily in the non-magical community and enjoys educating others, particularly in martial arts and fencing.

He is introduced to Sandoval by way of his cousin Joy, who taught the former many of her acrobatic techniques upon his conversion to cold magic studies. Though he develops romantic feelings for Sandoval, they go unrequited.

## Trivia

* Felix inherited his great-grandfather's pointy hat, which the non-traditional Seamus expressly desired to be passed on to 'anyone but the eldest.'
* Felix is much closer to his cousin Joy than his elder brother Peter, who is far more serious and a bit colder in personality. Peter believes Felix's involvement with the non-magical community is a waste of time.
Vivian Gray

Vivian Gray was the great-grandmother and former middle namesake of Norm.

A solitary and independent mage, Vivian wanted no biological children of her own and indeed managed not to have them, despite the expectations of her time. How her only daughter and later descendants came to be is unknown, but likely involved a bit of magical experimentation.

Vivian Gray was also known for dabbling in bodily alternation spells to make herself appear more androgynous, some of which inspired the published self-help hexes of Adrian and his followers.

She was a contemporary of the mages Alistair Wilmington, Arabella Stowe, and Seamus Fitzroy, as well as the warlocks Vladimir Vectorvale, Ingrid Blackvale, Santiago Sandoval, and Waldemar Sherwin III, her closest friend and ally.

## Personality

Despite being highly respected for her magical ability and innovation, Vivian was also considered cold. She was an ill-equipped mother to Genevieve and later admitted that such a project was far harder to undertake than originally planned. Some also considered Vivian to be power-hungry and less of a victim to Vladimir Vectorvale than generally thought.

More positively, Vivian was renowned for her honesty and perseverance. She still considered raising Genevieve to be an important duty and often pushed herself to be attentive, or at least to enlist others, like her child-loving friend Waldemar, to take over.

Vivian was also fond of staves and amassed quite the collection over the years. Two of them now belong to her great-granddaughter Nora and the mage Sandoval, whom the Family Gray took a liking to.

## Trivia

* Despite her love of staves, Vivian's primary arena weapon was a small wand.
* Vivian was likely responsible for forcibly acquiring Vitaly Vectorvale's mace and interning it in the House of Gray until it was wielded by Norm years later. As Norm is both a Gray and a Vectorvale, the latter family did not take issue with this.
* Vivian enjoyed doubles dueling with Waldemar III, and the two had an intense but friendly rivalry with Santiago and Seamus.
* Though she hated to admit it, Vivian was never able to outduel her friend Ingrid Blackvale.
* The young Natalia Vectorvale seemed terrified of Vivian, for reasons unclear to her father or anyone else.
* Vivian lived out her later years in Tenebris and isolated herself before taking her own life at age 48. Most say she was simply afraid of aging, though she was also rather bitter and estranged herself from Genevieve and most others as soon as the former reached adulthood.
Winston Gray

Winston Gray is the son and only child of Garamond Gray in Second City's future. He was an apparently low-functioning autistic savant before his father's application of the Convergence Enchantment.

Winston remembers almost nothing about his childhood and does not blame his father for giving him an otherwise normal life, whatever the cost might have been. Despite losing his magical mimicry talent and a raw power level rivaling that of Lucian, he is determined to learn everything he can.

Like the Winston he was named for, Winston Gray uses his innate intelligence and dedication to be become one of the most powerful magical practitioners in Entropaen history. His skill eventually seems to surpass the power he was born with - and even that of Adrian and Honor.

## Trivia

* Winston considers Winston Lear and Adrian his greatest sources of inspiration.
* Winston is rather shy and softspoken, and this never changes.
* A popular Second City rumor states that Garamond and Winston Gray are actually descended from a hidden non-magical child of Winston Lear and Nora Gray before the time warp. Honor is naturally horrified by this, as Nora and Winston were both vocally childfree in their romantic partnership (not to mention the admitted pride hit that such excellent sorcerers would produce a *non-magical* child!).
* Before the Convergence, an empathetic Honor secretly spent time with Winston in Nora's form. She played board games with him while telling him stories about Second City's past (or just rambling to fill the silence). Winston does not remember this afterward and hence does not expose Honor's true identity, much to Honor's relief.

> *"It is what it is, and if I'm really not 'me' anymore, I'll become myself all over again. You don't have to be weird or attention-grabbing to do the greatest things."*

Garamond Gray

Garamond Gray is a high council mage in Second City's future and the first Gray in his branch of the family to possess magic for many generations. He is known for pioneering and evangelizing the Convergence Enchantment, a highly controversial treatment for "neurodefectives," which formerly included himself and his son.

## Trivia

* Garamond did not discover his own magic until age 34, which is highly unusual even for someone without a direct lineage. He knew of his son's first, and uncovered his own via the blue flames he produced in trying to defend Winston from the unfamiliar Magical Discovery Commission upon their first visit.
* Despite a late start, Garamond has an incredible aptitude for magic and refines his enough to join his first council at age 36 - followed by Second City's High Council by 37.
* For his enthusiasm and youthful demeanor (as well as his relative inexperience in the magical world), the other First Family council members often lovingly call Garamond "Kid" or "Whiz Kid."
* Garamond and Second City are often at odds with Tenebris, Ruddishire, and Neihgaughkraighe. Though the latter cities remain free of social constraint, their crime rates have risen far higher over the years.
* Garamond named his only child Winston after High Archmage Winston Lear, whom he admires as a "self-made mage" from a likewise non-magical background.

* Garamond believes strongly in the Convergence Enchantment as a way of healing and improving one's quality of life, as indeed it erases the negative aspects of differences like autism, ADHD, or dyslexia. Vehement critics like Honor argue that most such struggles arise from society itself.
* People close to Garamond call him Monty. He is especially annoyed by anyone who assumes he goes by Gary.

> *"Please, call me Monty. 'Gary Gray' is the dyslexic's nightmare."*

Ivan Gray

Ivan Gray is a high mage council member and the father of Norm.

He is the grandson of Vivian Gray, the second child of Genevieve Gray and Willem Diamond, and the arguably calmer and more neurotypical younger brother of Iggy Gray.

Though magical himself, Ivan is an avid non-magical hobbyist and was inseparable from his elder brother growing up. Both love to tinker and still spend a considerable amount of time together in Iggy's workshop when their adult lives permit.

Ivan and his brother look quite similar, though the former is a bit taller and has some freckles. Though Ivan hates to admit it, he is not quite as witty as Iggy.

## Trivia

* Ivan enjoys striped hats over the typical night sky pattern of his magical specialty, though he is not picky and seems to be as fond of pointy hats in general as his grandmother was of staves.
* Ivan's fondness for non-magical cats is met or exceeded only by Winston.
* Like many others from half-magical family lines, Ivan and his brother proudly use their magical surname. Entropaean society is not paternalistic, and many choose to use the name of either or both parents, depending on the situation.
* Outside of his high council duties, Ivan loves to travel and socialize and seldom feels the need to use magic for personal fulfillment.
Morpho

Morpho is a dark magical creature known as a void anomaly and the primary mount of Honora Gray. It does not appear to have a sex or gender but can take on any form it chooses.

## Personality

Morpho is rather independent and seldom seems to *actually* do what Nora wants. It does, however, get her around, and it is loyal enough without the emotional maintenance of a more personable creature.

Morpho seems rather attached to Lucian and, for better or worse, to Norm, whom it seems to respect more than most people. It does not care for Winston and, especially, Sandoval, who has trouble with demons in general.

## Trivia

* Lucian loves to take advantage of the fact that Morpho likes him. He will occasionally convince it to take on an offensive or highly impractical form that is extremely hard for Nora or anyone else to coax it out of.
* Morpho returns to the void after Nora is lost to the time warp and does not seem to pursue her.
Entropaea

Entropaea is a special dimension and homeworld developed to separate magical persons from their non-magical counterparts.

The separation is entirely elective, and any person, magical or not, can move freely between worlds. This is fortunate for mixed families, as well as persons with a sense of adventure.

Most people stay within their own worlds, as "it's just easier that way."

> *"If you're magical, you're basically a god. Even the worst of us silently know that it's laughably unfair, so we might as well try to forget that."* - Adrian

## List of Major Entropaean Settlements

* **Demari Primus**, the first city of Entropaea and the seat of Family Sherwin.
* **Second City**, another major town in central Entropaea, established by the Grays. They were joined by Family Wilmington soon after.
* **Tenebris**, a cold, dark town in Entropaea's northewestern mountains and the home of Family Blackvale.
* **Ruddishire**, a town at the foot of the Northwestern mountains, established by the Fitzroys.
* **Volvakov**, a city on the northeastern island of Handeival and the seat of Family Vectorvale.
* **Iridess**, the southern-Entropaean seat of Family Stowe, known for its yearly Festival of Lights.
* **Encantadora**, the coastal, southernmost major Entropean city and home of Family Sandoval.
* **Neihgaughkraighe**, a northeastern coastal city where Nora spent her first dark council stint before moving back to Second City.

## The Entropaean Future

By the time Nora and Lucian are reunited with Adrian via the time warp, much of Entropaea has degraded into a social dystopia. In Second City and a very weakened Demari Primus, "neurodefectives" are regularly scrutinized and discouraged from practicing magic publicly. They are further encouraged to "heal" themselves and their children via the work of High Councilman Garamond Gray.

Meanwhile, Tenebris, Ruddishire, and Neihgaughkraghie appear to thrive as free undergrounds, though their political futures are endangered by corruption in the council cycles and widespread misinformation about the magical dangers presented by anyone with the slightest history of mental difference or difficulty. In Second City and Demari Primus themselves, magical crimes in all categories but one - suicide - are hence at an all-time low.

Unfortunately, Volvakov and the southern Entropaean cities of Iridess and Encantadora  are completely submerged by this time. A common conspiracy theory points to seismic activity from magical fracking, though it is still unclear whom or what such a practice would benefit (and, indeed, Volvakov's island was naturally seismically volatile for its entire existence).

The later descendants of Families Stowe and Sandoval end up spread around Second City. The Stowes assimilate fairly well, but the Sandovals, many of whom are born neurodiverse, fare far worse. In a few years time, the Sandoval Family has all but left Entropaea and the magical world, wrongly believing that magic is impossible and useless for them. Within a few generations, it is mostly forgotten.

The fate of the remaining Vectorvales is unknown, though most ended up in Tenebris.

Vladimir Vectorvale

### Specialties

Explosions, demonology, pyrogenesis and pyrokinesis, electrogenesis and electrokinesis, shapeshifting, mind control

### Special magical talents

Magical mimicry, raw power, full shapeshifting

## Family

### Other Relatives

Katherine Vectorvale, Lysandra Vectorvale, Waldemar Sherwin-Vectorvale, Lucian Sherwin-Vectorvale

Vladimir Vectorvale was a warlock and the primary suitor of Vivian Gray, as well as the great-grandfather of Waldemar VI and Lucian.

Like his youngest great-grandson, Vlad was rather small in stature, but also exceptionally powerful and mentally unstable. The latter was (and is) rather common in the Vectorvale family, though Vlad's only child fortunately ended up perfectly healthy and upstanding.

Vladimir's final, enraged attempt to curse Vivian upon her refusal of his advances was thwarted by her close friend Waldemar Sherwin III. The Sherwin family carried the intended misfortunes for many generations thereafter.

## Trivia

* Vladimir was extremely protective of his daughter Natalia and likewise unusually gentle toward her close childhood friend, Genevieve Gray.
* Vlad had one younger brother, Vitaly.
* Vlad is an inborn shapeshifter of Volvakov substrate, which is much less common and much less stable than the Neihgaughkraighe alternative.
