Baba Yaga

**Baba Yaga** is the Queen of the Grim Court, the Archfey of Curses, and the Supreme of the Hourglass Coven. As the Grim Court Queen, she is the most powerful member of the Grim Court and all other Grim Court Archfey and residents pledge fealty to her. While other members of her court directly over see specific regions of the Grim Court Feywild, Baba Yaga is their absolute ruler and figurehead. She also serves as the Supreme of the Hourglass Coven. Her coven is a very enigmatic secret society that only allows the most powerful of mages in. While the Grim Court executes Baba Yaga's political ambitions, the Hourglass Coven acts as her honor guard, investigators, and strike force.

When the Feywild was unified under the rule of the Raven Queen, Baba Yaga served on the Feywild Court. She altered served on the new Grim Court founded by the Raven Queen after she lost control of half of her queendom in Titania's rebellion. At some point, Baba Yaga violently took over the Grim Court. The fate of the Raven Queen is unknown.

She lives in a hut that walks on chicken legs and has made the forest of Hexanholt her personal Feywild dominion.

Baba Yaga's Grim Court and Queen Titania's Sylvan Court are currently in a fragile truce after a disastrous war that took the life of Princess Keira of the Sylvan Court.

The WitchLight Carnival is a front secretly controlled by Baba Yaga. Mr. Dawn and Mr. Dusk were adoptive sons of Baba Yaga's and were the public owners and faces of the carnival. They led the carnival to many destinations in the multiverse where they would steal children for Baba Yaga. It's currently unclear how involved the carnival employees were with this plot.

It's not known why Baba Yaga kidnaps children. Some say she recruits these children into her coven. Others say she eats them. Whatever the truth is, it's a closely guarded secret of the Hourglass Coven.

## Magical Prowess

As an Archfey of the Feywild, Baba Yaga enjoys a power level that rivals any god of the material realm. This makes her biologically immortal and she's lived for thousands of years. As the Archfey of Curses, her expertise lies in cursing objects, hexing people, and inflicting magical pain. One of her first prominent acts was the creation of hags. It's said she's the most powerful magic user to ever exist. While other gods and goddess of magic may contest this, none have ever tried to challenge Baba Yaga for the title.

Many spellcasters from across the multiverse have reached out to Baba Yaga for training and knowledge. She has thousands of warlocks who serve her in exchange for magical boons across many realities. The Grim Court Queen is very fickle and quick to anger. Most who seek Baba Yaga out never return.

Solomon Kleftis

**Solomon Kleftis** was a simic hybrid wizard who served as the Spellfire Club's Coral Bishop. Solomon studied and made a profession as an archaeologist. However, his curiosity about other creatures and their societies turned morbid early on in his career. Obsessed with the ocean and those who call it home, Solomon embedded himself in the Aldani (commonly called lobsterfolk) community that live in Chult's Aldani Basin. Solomon kidnapped and murdered one of the Aldani and magically grafted his claws onto his body. Solomon also replaced his own skin with that of a shark's.

Thanks to the Spellfire Club, Solomon had a vast network of resources to aide in his research. Supplying magical secrets to the club and conducting experiments for them was a small price to pay. Solomon's work eventually led him to the lost city of Atlantis where he suspected a magical conch that could control aquatic beasts would be found. He tricked the Acolytes in Sexy Tights into joining his crew and helping him investigate Atlantis. Unfortunately for him, the Acolytes rescued a thief also searching for the conch. Muchomucho M Amor beat everyone in the mad dash to find the conch. When he blew into it, he summoned a hydra. The conch was broken due to time and being submerged in the ocean for so long. Muchomucho had no control over the beast. After the acolytes fought the hydra to a standstill, they agreed to a cease fire. SBG3 told the hydra he could still eat Solomon if he wished. The multi-headed monster did so quickly and effortlessly. Barb found his Coral Bishop pendant in his viscera. The Acolytes then tricked the rest of his crew into working for them and they took over his ship.

Artus Cimber

**Artus Cimber** is a human man well over 100 years old. He helped Mezro defeat Ras Nsi a century ago, preventing him from conquering the city. His lover gave him the Ring of Winter to make him immortal so he could wait for her to return with the rest of Mezro from the Astral Plane. Dinah Lance tricked the Strangers With Weapons into finding him and helping her steal the ring from him. He aged very quickly without it. The fear he'd never see his wife again and the anger he had for Dinah and SWW drove him insane. He and his friend, Dragon Bait, partnered with Liara Portyr and Niles Breakbone to get revenge on the SWW. Their plot failed and the four ended up dead.

He returned as a revenant and kidnapped Barbara Gordawna, Helena Verteneli, and Jaiden Bishop to get revenge on Dinah. He then haunted the Acquaintances With Weapons when they arrived at Batsbluff. This made Dinah and AWW go to the Astral Plane to get his wife, Vardina Fane.

When Vardina was freed by Krang, she brought Artus back to life and sanity. Artus helped retrieve the materials needed to craft tinfoil helms to protect AWW against Krang during their next attack. He and Vardina are now living happily ever after.
Brettnay Matthews

**Brettnay Matthews** is a human ghost. She was sentenced to death after she killed a rival group of popular girls who took her table in the cafeteria, tried to take control of the girl's bathroom, and egged her horse and carriage.

When the party found the Cave of Phaenax, Brettnay was being dragged into it by a pair of spectral nymphs. Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III convinced the party they needed to help her so they destroyed the nymphs. After learning about how and why Brettnay died, the group immediately regretted their decision. Rory Sharptooth intimidated her into joining them as they go into the Underworld. They figured having a ghost with them would be good for any subterfuge efforts.

The party and Brettnay met a minor miner digging for calcified ectoplasm during their descent. The party agreed that after their mission was done, they would let Brettnay join the minor miner's family shop. In exchange for her ectoplasm, she'd get 25 percent of the profits.

When a spectral nymph demanded the party handover Brettnay as she was very late for her Underworld registration, the group denied her request. This led them to fighting a cerberus. The party's magic users bound Brettnay into a tinder box to both hide her so she wouldn't get stuck in the Underworld and keep her under control.

After meeting with Erebos in the Underworld, Brettnay was taken hostage by the God of the Dead. She along with Unabot, Titus, and Layla were used as bargaining chips. If the party killed King Varik Heliodson, Erebos would free King Demetrius, Brettnay, and the rest.

Brettnay was brought back to life after King Varik's assassination. Since she was no longer a ghost and couldn't sell her ectoplasm, she volunteered to escort King Demetrius back to Setessa alongside Titus.

He spent centuries in Star Spawn cave, which he used his magic to twist into a cave of madness. Every centaur that went in to say him was either killed or transformed into a horrible aberration.

He ended up losing that job after the party killed Adrian, drugged the caravan members, and stole several valuables.

The party met him again during the Iroan Games where he competed in the gladiator competition. He defeated Juxxtina to win the gold medal.

He later joined the army of the living to fight against Queen Nekros and her undead soldiers at the Field of Pyramid.

Iroas trapped an evil entity inside of it and commanded the centaurs guard the cave so Orion could never escape. Britneigh heard the reports of the undead and wanted to assist in the war against them. She went into Star Fall Cave to kill Orion. Unfortunately, Orion defeated her in battle and used his magic to turn her into a beholder.

The party destroyed two of Damet's lampad bodies while they were trying to bring Brettnay Matthews into the Underworld. Damet's physical forms utilized necrotic energy to fight.

While each Damet share a core personality, drive, and purpose, they don't share memories in real time. They need to have a nightly communion to sync their new and unique experiences.

As ordered by Athreos, Damet assisted the party throughout their journey in the Underworld. She provided them key information when asked. She watched over Brettnay Matthews, Unabot, Layla, and Titus when they were forced to stay behind in the Underworld. While in Damet's care, Layla made the nymph watch several horrific things.

She gave the Acolytes in Sexy Tights key information about Erodys and the Phallus Palace when they visited her temple. At Holy Lady Labya's request, she performed a heart transplant surgery on the half-orc. She successfully removed Labya's heart for the godkiller potion and replaced it the iron heart SBG3 built.

Hedonia Hartz

**Hedonia Hartz** was a satyr who worshipped Phaenax. Her radical faith in the god of undead, wine, and theater led her to believe Queen Nekros and secret societies like the Spellfire Club represented the apocalypse. She believed the best thing to do was to let all humanoids party until the inevitable end. Her partner was Valentina Lovemoon who was similarly crazed in her devotion to Karametra. Together, they tainted the well water of Erodys with their party potion that made humanoids lose their inhibitions and want to bang.

Hedonia and Valentina built the Phallus Palace together to serve as their temple of love. The Acolytes in Sexy Tights stormed through their temple and confronted the pair in their personal chambers.

The Acolytes feigned an agreement to fetch it for him if he let them pass.

In the chamber that housed weapons made for the Therosian gods, Puke Wilson put on the Helm of Forbidden Knowledge. This turned him to dust.

Manestra

**Manestra** is worshipped as the god of the absurd and disbelief. They have no gender and were created by Therosians who wished to mock the gods. The iconoclasts were so successful in spreading disbelief or at least ambivalence that Manestra took a place in the Therosian pantheon.

## Myth

Upon discovering mortals can ascend to godhood, a group of Therosians took this as a sign that the gods are not worthy of worship. If anyone and everyone can become a god, is there truly such a thing as a god?

## Influence

A loud minority of Therosians dislike that religion is such an important part of their culture. At first, Manestra was created to mock the other gods. However, the more people laughed and spread the jokes of Manestra, the more real and powerful the noodle god became. His idols and symbols can be found mostly in graffiti artwork.

## Worship

Manestra doesn't require active worship to sustain themselves. Most who prop up Manestra do so in a way to mock religion itself and its effect on the populace. Jokes about Manestra and protests against the other gods are enough to give them power.

* Providing rational explanations for "supernatural" phenomena

Tigress

**Tigress** is an infamous thief. Her real name is Serena Hardy, but it's a mystery to most. Tigress grew up poor in Waterdeep. She became a pickpocket to support herself. She then became a prolific thief by stealing money from the wealthy. Her ability to outwit guards, crack safes, and steal right from under people's noses granted her a position within the Zhentarim. When the Dark Network was destroyed by the Strangers With Weapons, Tigress became a thief for hire.

## Criminal Activity

Tigress came from humble beginnings. On the streets of Waterdeep, she learned how to pickpockets, escape from city guards, as well as to fence stolen goods. She graduated from stealing random pockets on the streets to burglarizing wealthy Waterdeep citizens. Tigress became renowned for her safe cracking abilities. She preferred method was to infiltrate and discreetly leave before anyone ever figured out she was there. However, when a rare guard did discover her, Tigress was more than able to handle herself. She carried a whip and clawed gauntlets as weapons.

Her skill eventually led her to joining the Zhentarim. She didn't care much about the group's political machinations or want for world domination. She simply wanted to steal the most high profile loot available. While with the Dark Network, she developed a rivalry with Dinah Lance who was codenamed Black Siren.

She accompanied Tala Teague's Zhentarim contingent to Port Nyanzaru when the Dark Network was contracted to do the city's security. Her primary objective was to infiltrate the city's criminal underground and steal from those who wouldn't join the fold. When the SWW went to Port Nyanzaru with Dinah to take the city for Princess Maxima Al-Gharib, Dinah met with Tigress to get info on the operation. Tigress shared the intel under the false belief Black Siren was still a Zhentarim agent.

When the Zhentarim the Merchant Princes lost Port Nyanzaru, Tigress joined Emma Diamondfrost's crew aboard her flying ship. After Emma exchanged weapons and info for her life, Tigress went back to Faerun to strike out on her own.

Valindra Shadowmantle contracted Tigress to steal the Tiamat fang wand from the Montgomery Museum in Thay's Crescent City. Tigress hired other thieves such as Katya, a changeling who infiltrated the museum's security team, and Katerina, a poisoner who posed as a bartender tasked with taking out security guards and AWW as necessary. She made it to the museum's pocket dimension safe, but the Acquaintances With Weapons fought her off. Tigress brokered a deal to give AWW the wand to get out alive.
Hadar

**Hadar** is a sentient star that lives in the far reaches of space. Inhabitants of Toril can gain the magical abilities of a warlock if they reach out to Hadar and he agrees to be their patron. Hadar is fading and needs to be fed in order to prolong his fleeting life. This power source usually comes in the form of the souls of creatures killed by his warlocks.

Hadar has created Star Spawn to serve as agents and emissaries who seek out ways to sustain their creator. One such agent was Orion who arrived in Theros only to be quickly imprisoned and killed centuries later.

If Hadar were to fade, his warlocks would lose their magical abilities. Most of his agents do not feed their star patron out of a sense of duty or love. They're primarily driven by fear of Hadar's wrath and their own greed as none of them want to lose their magic.

Notable warlocks of Hadar include Emma Diamondfrost, who willingly served him in exchange for power, and SBG3, who fell under his influence when communing with him. Emma's criminal deeds were done to both gain influence herself as well as to feed Hadar souls en masse. SBG3 was a less than willing warlock. While imbued with Hadar's power, SBG3 did demonstrate some dark changes in personality. The anvilwrought gnome ultimately sought to sever his connection to Hadar. Timeless Beauty's first celestial act was to grant SBG3 this wish.

## Magical Prowess

Hadar wields powerful magic as a Great Old One. He can communicate telepathically to his patrons and followers across galaxies. Most of his spells are radiant, necrotic, cold, acidic, and psychic in nature. Hadar's magic is so great he can bestow spells and supernatural abilities unto his warlocks that live across the universe.

* The Sentient Star

Alexios Nikiti

**Alexios Nikiti** was a tiefling rogue. His acrobatic skills were great enough that he placed second in the Iroan Games acrobatics competition, losing to Aryan Grande in the finals.

Alexios and Dikarus Bottombane were in a relationship for a couple years up until fairly recently. Their break up was bad enough that Dikarus reacted very negatively to seeing him at the Temple of Triumph training grounds in Akros. His presence made Dikarus sign up for two of the games' events - archery and acrobatics. Dikarus brought home the gold in archery and promptly flipped Alexios off from the arena. Dikarus never got a chance to face him in the acrobatics contest because he lost to Aryan in the semi-finals.

Alexios won the gold medal in acrobatics the previous year and was the favorite to win against Aryan.

Some time after Dikarus left the Spellfire Club, Emma Diamondfrost recruited Alexios to replace him as one of her knights. He primarily served as Emma's personal guard on Regina Isle. He fought alongside the Silver Queen against The Acolytes in Sexy Tights. Dikarus killed Alexios with a single strike with his psychic blade.

According to Dikarus, Alexios was a "bad boy."

Bragga Warhammer

**Bragga "The Tank" Warhammer** is the daughter of the King Obould of the Many Arrows tribe, and a human woman. Braga was forced to leave her tribe after sleeping with the wives of several chieftains. She set off on her own where she trained and made her own gang of female warriors.

She'd eventually join the Best Friends Caravan, fighting alongside them against the Cult of the Dragon. Bragga developed a rivalry with Lancelot Morewood over who was the strongest party member. Despite their differences, she and Clementine Jones became like sisters - fiercely loyal to one another and prone to arguing. When Newt "Pansy" Pansington joined the BFC, Bragga took him on as her squire. While the BFC are hailed as heroes of Faerun, Braga holds the distinct honor of slaying Tiamat.

Bragga was one of the BFC members kidnapped by Jamna Gleamsilver. Clit recruited the Strangers With Weapons to rescue her friends.

After the war against the dragon cult ended, Sir Isteval Pansington used his political connections to convince the realm it was Pansy who killed the dragon goddess. For two years after the fact, the history scrolls reflected this lie. Bragga and Clit teamed up with the Acquaintances With Weapons to correct this. The pressure of the lie, upholding his family's honor, and fame drove Pansy insane. Bragga and her comrades killed the false hero and Sir Isteval confessed to his misdeeds. Bragga's true glory is now known to the entire realm.

Bragga stole a ring from Sir Isteval after confronting him. It was only after killing Pansy did she discover what it was. The ring stores the departed souls of all Pansingtons. The ring is now stuck to her finger and Pansy haunts the half-orc woman.

Ras Nsi

**Ras Nsi** was once a human paladin of Ubtao who lived in Mezro more than a century ago. Like other Mezroan citizens, he was greatly gifted in the magical arts. His thirst for power caused him to fall from grace. He raised an army of undead to conquer the city he once protected. He was defeated by Artus Cimber, Vardina Fane, and other Mezroans.

Due to the Spell Plague, Ras Nsi lost his magic and thus control over his undead army, which still wanders Chult’s jungles. When his magic returned a decade later, he discovered a magical secret to immortality. He lived in secret since that time. During this time, he allied himself with the Yuan-Ti in Chult. He worked his way up their ranks and ultimately became their leader, undergoing a ritual to become a Yuan-ti malison. His time with the Yuan-Ti made him a devout follower of their goddess, Dendar, the Night Serpent.

Ras Nsi found the lost city of Omu - once the capital of Chult. He discovered how the ancient Chult kingdom fell and the secrets in the Tomb of Annihilation. These investigations led him to the Sewn Sisters. Ras Nsi's thirst for power continued. He no longer yearned to bring Dendar, the Night Serpent, into the material realm. He wanted to become the new, true god of death. He and the Sewn Sisters created the Soulmonger, which caused the Death Curse by stealing the souls of recently deceased people and anyone who was resurrected. These souls were the power to feed the fetal god body the Sewn Sisters made for Ras Nsi.

The Strangers With Weapons faced off against Ras Nsi in the Tomb of Annihilation. Before dying in his Yuan-Ti malison body, the Sewn Sisters sent his soul into the fetal god body. The SWW destroyed that body and then the Soulmonger, freeing the world from the Death Curse.

Vardina Fane

**Vardina Fane** is a human mage from the Chultan city of Mezro. Prior to the Spell Plague hitting the material realm, Mezro escaped to the Astral Plane. Vardina spent the 100 plus years there. Before she left, she gave Artus Cimber, her lover, the Ring of Winter to he could live forever and wait for her. While they were in the Astral Plane, Mezro was conquered by mind flayers and their enslaved Githyanki soldiers. Vardina and most of her community were then enslaved.

The Acquaintances With Weapons freed Vardina and the other Mezroans from the mind flayers. They then reunited Vardina with Artus' spirit. She was able to restore him body and soul. The two now live happily ever after.
Ephara

**Ephara** is worshipped as the goddess of culture and civilization. She watches over cities, fights corruption, and disdains tyranny. Ephara rose to godhood when she was the leader of a nomadic tribe and established the city of Meletis. Her people thrived here and created one of Theros' most populous and lively cities.

## Myth

According to myth, she is credited with establishing the first code of law, which Meletis has preserved and the other cities have imitated. Even more important, she helps cities reach their highest potential, becoming centers of scholarship, industry, and art.

## Influence

Nearly every public square and governmental build has a statue of Ephara.

## Worship

Ephara is strongly affiliated with the daytime, when cities are awake, alive, and at work. Her followers generally pray at midday, with the sounds of the city forming an appropriate backdrop to their rites, as industry itself is sacred to Ephara. Many aspects of city life and culture fall under Ephara’s influence. Scholarship is closely connected to Ephara, as is art—particularly poetry, sculpture, and architecture. Ephara is also highly concerned with civic wisdom and justice, and many politicians and other leaders seek her guidance in how to rule.
