Mrs. Midnight

This harpy was the Queen of Spades within the Royal Flush Gang organisation.

The folklore states that being out in the open streets in the dead of night you are a potential victim to this particular night terror. From out of the darkness of the night sky a winged hunter will snatch up hapless citizens. Their bodies will then be found the following morning up on high rooftops torn to shreds. A key extract from the nursery rhyme goes as follows:

> “When the clock strikes twelve, abandon all love.
>
>

> Your time has run out, death from above.”
>
>

Mrs. Midnight during an evening would be perched on the rooftops of the city scanning for her assigned prey. Once locked on she would cover her approach my stalking mid-air under the cover of night. From there the deed was as messy as possible at the designated locations, where best to send a subtle message. When not on the hunt her disposition was spotty at best. Best not awaken her during the day if you did not have the hell to pay.

Her feathers were pitch black and the reason she camouflaged so well in the dark places of the world and excelled at her chosen form of assassination. She had glowing yellow eyes that while in flight have been confused with shooting stars. This harpy also took great pride in sharpening her claws.
Derek

One of the guards situated in a Guard House, in Le Mason Beauty, in Frandelle.

Friendly man, originally from Hygard. Described to be in his mid-twenties.

He is able to act as a translator for visitors as he knows both Hygard and Frandelle languages. He knows and enforces the laws of Frandelle.

Obviously a dedicated man, as he does all he can to help Adelais in her predicament when she misunderstands the laws and wears a green dress during the Façade.

Has a love of cats, his Façade mask depicts a kitten.
Mr. Knife

This wererat was the King of Spades within the Royal Flush Gang organisation.

Every time he took a puff on his cigarette it illuminated his ratty features underneath his classy bowler hat he was wearing while in the shadowy corner of the room. Even though twitchy, Mr. Knife was a very pragmatic individual. He ran his suit with precision and deadly accuracy. It was an insult to him personally if a contract had not been carried out to the tee. His side of the deck got reshuffled often.

He rarely ventured away from his station in the Underbelly. He would get his hands dirty however if ordered to do so on behalf of the boss. In a twist he hated the Jack of Hearts.

Along with his trademark bowler hat Mr. Knife was clothed in a tailored suit more akin with the upper to middle classes. He did not hide the presence of his cherished switchblade on his person.
Kaynar

This Jackelwere was the Jack of Clubs cardman in the Royal Flush Gang organisation.

He was the consummate liar. The imperative in his every word was to submit lies and accusations in the lives around him. In combat as in life he was utterly brutal and a sycophant taking pleasure in the pain and misery of others. You can’t rely on this however, because this all came at his whim. He “*may*” be telling the truth, and he “*may not*” cut out your tongue for suggesting that he would. He had a fool-proof way of not being affected by threats... he accepted them and then pushed you to prove your boast.

Being of the club suit he would be wherever he had been ordered to be. If under no orders he’d be following whatever poor soul he believed looked “*delicious*” or be in the dungeons of the Underbelly extracting “*confessions*”.

Unlike his kin he found it distasteful to appear in any form other than his hybrid state. It would seem that he also took pride in this appearance as his fur was clean and his leather armour all fastened regimentally. This armour was not extensive, but it had enough pockets and holsters for plenty of knives and sharp implements.
Raul Fernandonis

"The Superstar Centaur" Raul Fernandonis was a staggeringly handsome centaur and superstar within the city of Hygard. Within the city he was one of the leading pin-ups for the female population. The fact it could be argued he was not number one carved away at his massive ego.

While not in the spotlight, within the shadows he was the head of the Heart chapter of the Royal Flush Gang. He also ran the gang's brothels out of his place The Magic Pouch.

While he was loyal to the gang, and extremely so to the boss, Mr. Prince, he loved nothing more than being out with "*his people*" signing eight by tens and female body parts on swooning fangirls. His fan-base mourns him greatly.

## Appearance

His muscular form and chiselled looks are accompanied by a flowing mane of blonde hair. This does not match his body fur of light brown. It is evident that plenty of time has gone into looking this good. Past his rippling muscles there is nothing much to an outfit other than to hold weapons and presumably a bag full of beauty products.

## Personality

Flamboyant, unrelenting, but honourable in combat he would endeavour to disable his opponents instead of kill them.

He took pride in his looks and was dismayed if no one else was paying him the same attention. He would be easily distracted due to his vanity. He would have to take at least a peek at himself in any kind of reflective surface for example.

## Abilities and Powers

#### Celebrity

Due to his celebrity status the King of Hearts could gain access to pretty much anywhere except the high levels in the top tiers where fame does not carry much sway. If called to return to the lower levels by the boss he would place his personal affairs aside no question. Anybody else and he'd tell them to take a running jump.

#### Physical Capabilities

As a centaur and a physical specimen at that Raul could slam into opponents at a charge while also kicking out with his hooves ripping through shields and trampling down those unfortunate to face him in battle.

#### Weapons

When entering into combat Raul was generally armed with a pike or attack at range with a longbow.
Breanne

**Full title**: Captain Breanne Wavecrest le cuirassé d’escarte, translates to "The Dreadnought".

A Captain of the Lobo's Teeth that was docked in Stormroque. The team bought passage to Frandelle.

Breanne works for the Jade Lady, keeping the sea "clean", as the Lady puts it. It is unclear what Breanne does exactly, but they are used to being attacked and hi-jacking other sea vessels.
Yuu the Liar

Minion of the Norse God of Flame and Trickery and the #1 Fan of his agent in the mortal realm, Bennex.

The satyr travelled to the mortal realms under the disguise of the young mage Julian in order to meet his master and eventual help him break free from the clutches of the Drow King.

## Relationships

#### Lummi

While stuck out in the wilds of the north, Yuu befriended the young yeti while disguised as Julian. He appeared to be crushed at her grisly demise, but were his feelings for her a lie just like Julian?

## History

### Past

A minion of the Norse god of trickery and flame, Loki. A satyr that excels at the art of illusion and acts in the role of a trickster.

Bennex, a fallen angel, had become an agent and trusted aid to Loki. Due to this association and placement Yuu had become his #1 fan idolising Bennex. When he had not reported in for a while, out on assignment to the mortal realm, Yuu set off to find him. He polymorphed into the form of a young male human and adopted the disguise of *Julian the Apprentice*. As Julian his story was that of a late teen apprentice wizard looking to reunite with his missing master.

A letter to Samuel

*Dear Samuel,*

*I, Duke Benheim of the North, being of sound mind freely admit to you that I am in fact the one and only underworld kingpin, Mr. Prince.*

*At this time you possibly have in your possession the key to this pesky “silent gods” business, as handed to you by myself, as acquired by myself.*

*I am now perhaps off to face my death at the machinations of a truly ambitious lady. She has taken from me, and honour dictates I must take from her in kind. No matter the cost.*

*I know you are connected. I simply ask that you relay this message to ‘them’: “I did what you old geezers wanted. Know it was me that was your salvation, and really stew in it!”*

*Thank you kindly,*

*Mr. Prince*
The Hygard Appreciation Society Wikia

Welcome to the Hygard Appreciation Society, celebrating a 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure that's been going for years and has built up a history of creative writings and illustrations. Here's the place for those collaborative pieces.

## Members

*Hygard. City of cities. I've been here for years - making the most of the hand dealt to me by fate. Living amongst the downtrodden and the poor; hunting those who would prey upon the weak.*

*It's strange - this city was once a towering monument to cooperation that rang out the death knell of bigotry; a manifestation of all that could be accomplished if we but listen to those around us. Now, the curse of progress has brought it low - made of it a stagnating pit of bureaucracy that serves to keep the privileged in power; a manifestation of the depths to which we can fall if we cease to listen to those around us. A literal representation of the inequity of civilisation, where the rich build their lives atop the poor.*

*And yet... a stranger has come to the city - one who's ambitions, whilst ruthless, threaten to upset the status quo and bring about a change the likes of which have not been seen in centuries.*

*Given the choice, whether to live amongst a dissolute and failing city, or to challenge fate for another throw of the dice... what choice do we really have?*

- Handsome Greta

*Hygard. Towering, filthy, gleaming. It dominates the landscape for miles around as though it were a mountain, its dozens of crystalline temples shining in the sun and looming above the streets, threatening the sinners below.*

*Hygard. City of uncounted millions, from lich to kobold, from human to golem. Its power is unharnessed, its King content merely to rule over a peaceful metropolis through a myriad of competing spiritual and temporal powers groups.*

*Hygard. The place was perfect for me. I could lose myself within its walls, be someone else. Lose my old family and gain a new one. Build myself a noble House worthy of my name. Set in motion my plans, and take advantage of the competition. Become its Queen.*

*At least, that was the plan. Now I find myself in a cellar, pursued by gargoyles, the sleazy criminal swine who brought me here in front of me, unable to fully control the golem, uncertain of my bodyguard's willingness to obey, certain only that I and Chenzira are hurt.*

*But I get ahead of myself...*

- Lady Jane De'ath

Jack's Cellar Monologue

*[Monologue]*

*"They are all staring at me. Sure, I'd just dodged my own murder for the last ten minutes, but I'd been in worse scrapes than this before. As I dust rubble off my shoulder, from the collapsed cellar our party now finds itself within, I remember what my old pappy always used to say, "When life gives you lemons, have the stones to throw them back". Not the wisest of sages, but he had a point. Just because I'd kept my secrets doesn't mean I'm the bad guy here! I'd just been honest about keeping them. They're still staring at me. I smile back. Maybe it was time to stop with the lies? Mr. Prince would not be best pleased, but I can't keep on dodging the attempts on my life and stay with this ragtag group... and more importantly the orb. Damn that Peacock! Is she so stubborn that even if I reveal the truth, that is much bigger than all of us, will she still manipulate the others into carrying out my demise? And I'm the bad guy?! The staring continues."*
Jinnai

**Jinnai** is one of the Guardians in the Metsu Empire. Said to sit at the gates of the City of Metsu. It is known by other titles, "The Mouth of Metsu" and "The end of the long road". This Guardian is surrounded by mist that it spouts from its open mouth, presumably keeping the City of Metsu out of sight.

It is said that there is another Guardian on a bridge part way down the road to Metsu. Her name is Sandō.

Jinnai has a sister, that left when the great tragedy befell Metsu.

#### Description

It resembles a dog, or a lion, with skin the colour of stone. It has two glowy, orange eyes. It spouts mist from its agape mouth, and can control that mist at its whim.
Adrastos Knell

Author of Adelais' current favorite book series, *Saga Quest*. The story tells the tale of a female knight who is particularly good at saving young men from trouble. These books are filled with cringe-inducing metaphors and borderline nonsensical descriptions, particularly in the more 'romantic' sections. Despite this, they have recently picked up something of a cult following, primarily among teenage girls.

Not much is known about Adrastos, as he prefers to keep his personal life private, especially now his works have picked up a little bit of traction. Those who have met him at rare book signings were surprised by his age, the fact he doesn't seem to own a hairbrush, and his choice of company.

*"I know, it looks really cheesy.  But!  It is honestly a really great series about this female warrior who liberates places and recuses...*people *from towers and slavery and things."  There was a strange emphasis on the word 'people' when she said it, and she took a step towards the table, gently pushing past Greta to pick up the book as if this shielded it from any judgement, "In the last book she took up a seat on the war council and was in difficult negotiations which I know sounds dull but it was just so...*good*." -* Adelais on Saga Quest, Book 3.
Chester

**Chester Abigail Smythe Bellows** hails from the Free Kingdoms. He meets the group in Frandelle, before his "judgement" by divine ephiny. Chester is another on the mission to inform the world of the dangers of the dragon, Igneon. He traveled from the Free Kingdoms, where Igneon was last, to Frandelle to get help from the Jade Lady.

He says that he is one of many, and the others are in different regions of the world, doing the same as he; asking for help.

He said that Igneon asked of 'many demands' and caused trouble in the Free Kingdoms.

His profession, back home, is to look after horses.
The Murialupus

The Murialupus is a galley type of ship that is propelled mainly by rowing. The galley is characterized by its long, slender hull, shallow draft and low clearance between sea and railing. Virtually all types of galleys had sails that could be used in favorable winds, but human strength was always the primary method of propulsion. This allowed galleys freedom to move independently of winds and currents, and with great precision. The bow of the ship features a characteristic steel ram that has the appearance of a wolf’s head.

Many of the voyages this ship has undertaken have been highly perilous having lost crew members the ship itself has undergone many repairs and in several instances been critically damaged. It *spirit* has lived on as the crew have been able to salvage parts, including the steel ram, to modify or build another ship.

The crew of the Brine Wolf consist of light-hearted scallywags who share in their Captain’s lust for adventure, discovery and the open sea. Their captain, Gartok of the Sea Wolf Clan, is a saintly figure to them and they gladly follow him on the voyage of a lifetime. They are either clansfolk or free-persons collected up along their many adventures together.

The vessel also plays host to the righteous band of heroes known as the Illumiknights led by the High Protector, Sir Leoric Whitemane. Captain Gartok is also an Illumiknight.

Prince's Gritted Teeth Monologue

*[Monologue]*

*Even though a hell beast rises from the depths of the abyss... Mr. Prince has ample time for inner monologue with gritted teeth. "This is absolutely unacceptable!" A bead of sweat begins to form on his furrowed brow. Clutching at the rainbow feather in his hands his entire body begins to shake. "How was this foretold?! The orb was supposed to move me one step closer to the Heart and my salvation! And instead I get this?! Who is to blame for more riddles, more games, I..." His mind flashes back to the voice from the orb, and what it had revealed. "That's right... it claimed to be the last god remaining..." In the center of the room as the creature rises, sounds like that of screaming emanate from it's immense frame as it straightens up. "... I have met many a god in my time and they would have not been done away with so easily. Perhaps this mystery deity has gained dominion over the mortal plane? But how would it seal it off from the others? Who is it? What is it? And can its words even be trusted?!" He growls through his grit teeth. "Damn! Even more questions where there should be answers. My master would revel in this, but this time it is left to me." Mr. Prince, regaining composure turns his gaze to the towering monster before him. "First order of business..." He clenches his fists. "... removing just another obstacle in my path." With gaze and conviction set he takes a step forward... [Ready Action]*
Hygard

A city of all races, founded by King Tribnik.

## Levels

Hygard is built up of tiers, separated by high walls and linked by tall staircases. The water falls between them. Viaducts link to Churches and other building of note that float away from the city.

## Subterranean

There are many underground caves and catacombs beneath the city.

## Outskirts

Surrounding the sprawling city are various communities that fall under the umbrella of the mighty metropolis.
Hogash

[See also, Barosh]

One of the cyclops in Metsu.

Gartok, Roxy, Ptolemy, Tral and Zianddin had the pleasure of meeting Hogash, who was fairly friendly and thought the team were "not meat".

Known for calling Roxy "noise maker". The team rode on Hogash's shoulders to the cave of the cyclopes.

[See; Roxy's related scroll: Mrs. Roxbury Brambledown#The Cyclops and the Noise]

Craig

When Prince asks to see a guard's commanding officer he is taken to a small holding room, in Frandelle. Craig greets him in common.

Craig seems to be some kind of translator, and possibly a lawyer for foreigners entering Frandelle. Once hearing a client's case, and verifying their story with paperwork, Craig goes out into the back room and presumably stands to appeal their case in court.

Craig requires spectacles to read the papers.

It is likely Craig speaks both common and Frandellese.
Lummi

**A Story of Lummi:**

Lummi looks to Ghede, his limbs curled into impossible shapes. She knows he has gone to a place where she cannot follow.

With a rough circle of guidance surrounding her in a place of the unnatural she focuses on her own scent, of Ghede's scent, of the only natural things in this existence. It brings her peace, her mind too can leave this place.

"Young Lummi, why are you crying?"

Lummi is looking down into her large hands, nestled there is the body of a wolf cub.

There is a low, rumbling; a familiar sound. A taller Ts'emekwes is crouched in front of Lummi.

His fur is painted in intricate patterns. Bones, feathers and claws are weaved into his matted white hair.

"It happens, young Lummi," his eyes are kind. "The best we can do is respect her body so that her spirit will forgive us.

Remember, that one day you may need to hunt alone, you cannot be afraid. The North is cruel.

As we take, we will give, and creatures of the North will take in turn."

Lummi brings the wolf cub closer to herself.

"You should leave an offering," he says quietly. His hand comes out from beneath his folds of fur and he points

at the cub, first to its stomach, then to its heart and lastly its head.

"I understand," says Lummi.

There is the smell of blood.

There is the smell of burning flesh.

Small dark figures run through the endless red light. They leap and dance amongst the flame, relishing in the disaster, breathing fire as they come. Huts burn, trees burn, fur burns.

Lummi's people run, they yell. They fall, overcome.

Lummi shields her face from the heat, but the fire leaps from the ground to her out stretched hand, to her fur. Now Lummi's screams are joining with everyone else’s.

"Lummi, why are you crying?"

"My people have gone," Lummi calls out; a haunting, mournful tone.

While her mind is absent, a spirit takes hold of her body and uses it for its own gain.

Its eyes blink solid white. Lummi's face holds no emotion.

Sprouting from Lummi's skull are the antlers of a deer; a gruesome, bloodied incarnation of the animals of the forest.

Awaken the Jinkwes'neki.

Island Crab

The name of the home of the Kua-Toa people in the Undersea beneath Hygard.

It is said that Giant Crabs roam beneath the sea, and the Kua-Toa hunt, kill them and harvest their shells to live upon and feed off their meat for generations.

Phin Barbles is a notable Kua-Toa to live on a Juvenile Isand Crab, and claims to have hunted and killed many of the Giant Crabs.
Tyrant of the Peak

A tome in the a library on Level 4 of Hygard, hints at the Tyrant of the Peak.

It is a book of grudges across three generations of Dwarf. There are three or four pages on how a particular Magnus was wronged by the Tyrant of the Peak - though it is not clear if anything was done to Magnus directly. Magnus took the “Trial of the Tyrant”. The grudge was passed on to his children, and then the book continues to explain some other grudges passed on.

Mr Stevens read the tome, that is written in Dwarven.
Voice from Above

Little is known of the Voice from Above, except that it is said to be in the South.

South of Hygard is the Free Kingdoms.

In the **Frandelle History Museum**, in Le Grande Drip, there is a display that mentions their ancient attitudes towards the Free Kingdoms as being a "passive ally" to Frandelle, a passage suggests that the Jade Lady has not had words with the Voice from Above since the "age of war".

Metsuken Empire

The Metsuken people are oily, and oozy, in appearance to any who are not born of Metsu. A curse was set upon them by the old Advisor of Hygard, so that others "see them how he sees them".

With the curse, they speak with guttural sounds, and gesture with oily tendrils. They attack with swift, martial art movements. From Greta's travels, it is said that they excrete a really strong alcohol from their appendages. He once drank with them when he visited their encampments at the gates of Hygard.

In the expedition to the Metsu Island, as chronicled by Mrs. Roxbury Brambledown, see: Mrs. Roxbury Brambledown#The Tale of Yuen Gui, the Metsuken people are human in appearance and see each other as they really are.

The Metsuken Empire, as far as has been explored, consists of:

An abandoned port town

The Breakfast Bizaare

Cyclopes' caves

A signposted lake

Metsu Villages

The City of the Jinka

Hygard Militia Encampments

The City of Metsu
Frandelle

So far, a dock that looks like a slum and a pristine white wall. People queue for days just to be turned away.

Beyond the wall, the streets are very wide and there is a lot of space between each building, some have arches linking them. The buildings are light, each have a pastel wash in an array of colours. The walls are straight and then slope at the bottom. The top floor windows of each building are glass-less, any front facing windows on the ground floor have intricate patterns in the frames, and stained glass. It's an artistic place.

The roads are separated, fairly frequently there are thin, stone pillars slope into straight sides, and at the top there’s usually a cluster of crystals, in pale yellows and whites. At night these crystals provide illumination for the street.

There are a few cafés and shops. There is a cluster of ornate carriages and their drivers. The carriages are pulled by chamamellion.

The carriages lead off into a vast desert, that links to seven cities.

They are:

1. Peti Bon
2. Le Grande Drip
3. Le Mason Beauty
4. *TBD*
5. *TBD*
6. *TBD*
7. *TBD*
Igneon

**Igneon**, a Dragon, chained in the belly of Hygard, said to be the True God of the Mortal Plane.

Tribnik and four others sealed Igneon away with a pact, that Igneon would be freed after five miracles were granted. Sealing Igneon was the creation of the City of Hygard from the Black Crag it once was. In his reign, Tribnik used four of the five miracles. The last miracle was granted in the reign of King Reginald, when Lady Jane De'ath asked Igneon to grant that she become Queen of Hygard. King Reginald's reign ended and Igneon freed, beginning the collapse of Hygard.

### Description

Igneon's scales are red and blend into gold tips.

Little else is known of Dragons, and they were thought not to exist.
Old Factions

Old Factions is the term used to describe the factions administration lead by Stray and Yi. There is truly no direct definition as to what eras are in this time period; many eras are included going back to the Original Era 10.5

NOTE: ALL OLD FACTIONS ERAS SHOULD BE MARKED OLD FACTION:

so era 29 would be marked Era 29: Old Factions

This is to cure confusion.
Bagabug

This massive Orog was the King of Clubs to the Royal Flush Gang organisation.

The towering and unflinching Commander of the Clubs was a grizzled veteran of many a campaign even in his twilight years, stronger than ever. Unrivalled in combat strategy and sheer unbridled aggression he lead with wisdom and an iron fist. This was one honourable Orog that suffered no fools.

Bagabug would be stationed in the Underbelly Barracks deploying operatives to any assignment from Mr. Prince that required the club's specialised level of force. If the situation required a large body of personnel then he would lead them out himself.

This Orog Commander wore a very grand set of plate armour. It had the signs of battle that accompanied a warrior and veteran of his stature, but it could be seen that this suit of armour was religiously maintained.
Phin Barbles

**Phin Barbles** is a Kuo-Toa that lives in the Undersea, under Hygard.

The Kuo-Toa are a society of fish-people that live in the dark sea on giant Island Crabs. These are crabs that have been slain and used as a home for many generations of Kuo-Toa.

Phin is a keen warrior and slayer of monsters. He hunts for the tribe, but does not follow their religious ways. Hence, his "heretic" title.

[Click for PBAS]

## Relationships

### Pink Prince

Phin thinks he is shiny. Prince doesn’t think much of Phin, he can tell.

[See, Prince.]

### Beldoop

Beldoop is Phin’s good friend. He has a lot of patience and endless wisdom.

[See, Greta.]

### Fire!

She is friendly but sometimes summons the Fire God. Nothing survives the rage of the Fire God.

[See, Chenzira.]

### Rock House

Phin is pretty sure that the golem, Mr Stevens, is in fact a home for something. He wonders if Dave Nightmoss lives in there.

[See, Mr. Stevens]

### Dave Nightmoss

Not really Phin’s friend because of that time he trapped him on a Meat Ship.

### Island Crab

The place Phin lives. There are many more giant crabs like it in the Undersea. But, of course, this ones dead.

## Phin's List of Gods

Le Grande Drip

A city, or region, in Frandelle, with a lake and a museum. The air is more fresh here due to the presence of water and there are clouds in the sky.

The **Frandelle History Museum** is a large building, the doors are open to visitors.

The Museum displays highlight the "age of war", as it is referred, which was over a thousand years ago, preserving it as a "cautionary tale" and commemorating the lack of conflict in the country thanks to the introduction of the Jade Lady. The Jade Lady existed to "oversee the war", and was never directly involved in any conflict.

The "age of war" was that of swords versus spells, with the people of Frandelle using spells. It is suggested that their enemies had some wild magic which was deemed illegally dangerous, and fortunately died out and became history in the the Museum. There were some Frandellese weapon-users, but they were only willing to go into battle if their "beautiful art" would overcome the enemy.

A quote from a passage in the Museum:

> “In the latter days of the age of war the Lizard King came from below, he pronounced a Lady of Jade and she has chosen each since.”
>
>

The Frandellese text is like akin to Common with the inclusion of special characters.

Information among the displays:

* There is no mention of the Tyrant of the Peak
* Views of ancient attitudes towards the Free Kingdoms being a "passive ally" to Frandelle, a passage suggests that the Jade Lady has not had words with the Voice from Above since the "age of war".
* Sailors continue to spread the myth of Mortallus, the attitude towards this is that, "it is silly".

Chavez Breton

Adelais' biological father. An owner of a trade house, or many, with the symbol of a hare, that matches the symbol on Adelais' shield. He expressed his regret of a terrible mistake he made long ago, in which his own child was switched for another. Rather than going back to fix his mistake, he left the Hygard Province and returned to Frandelle in the fear that "there would be no monsieur and no madam and not one Adelais".

His wife knows nothing of the mistake and his lies. It is assumed that his wife is Adelais' biological mother, but that is not confirmed.

Adelais Breton is the child that he took for his own instead.
Legends and Rumours

Stories from far and wide. A spin of tales woven by the people of Hygard, and beyond. Some may be true, some may not.

#### On Mellorie:

"Or so he thought - what Jack didn't know, however, was that Mellorie was secretly watching over him from her throne in the undersea kingdom of Clamalot, where she rules with her wife. A few months after Jack had mysteriously dissapeared from her life, Mellorie took a short break to a warm costal town to collect her thoughts and do some general soul-searching. While by the ocean, a stunningly beautiful mermaid princess named Coraline spotted her, and climbed up onto some nearby rocks to talk. Hours and hours passed, and the two discovered they had so much more in common that they ever could have dreamed. Mellorie decided to take a chance and leave her farm life behind to join Coraline in Clamalot. As we all know, lesbian mermaid princesses are near immortal, and Mellorie was blessed by Coraline's mother, the queen, with the ancient mermaidian gift of ''L'Ariel ''so she too would remain young and beautiful. Additionally, she was granted the gift of water-breathing, because the constant unintentional waterboarding was getting awkward for everybody."

#### The PBAS:

The Phin Barbles Appreseation Society has banded together as an official movement, and this is the logo:

The Underbelly

The former base of operations for Mr. Prince and his Royal Flush Gang was The Underbelly. It is a maze carved out of the very rock and stone between the 6th and 7th Levels of Hygard. The maze had been magically enchanted with a living being requiring guides in and out if you wished not to get lost in its countless corridors for all of eternity.

When the Man from the North first arrived in the fledgling community city of Hygard and with his immense strength he set about hollowing out the portion of rock between the 6th and 7th Levels. Needing safeguards in place to protect his secrets and keep snooping individuals out he hired a clandestine group of mystics to enchant the stone labyrinth with a conscious thought. This entity would move the corridors around sending interlopers in circles, potentially getting them lost for eternity. They once hired a Minotaur to guard it, but it got lost, some believe that the presence within the maze didn't like him and did it on purpose. Guides were required to go in and out of The Underbelly. Mr. Prince however was given protection and free movement by the conscious thought.

When Lady Jane De'ath set about turning and wiping out Mr. Prince's underworld empire she also set the Underbelly ablaze burning out the loyalists and causing irreparable damage. It is uncertain whether the entity within the labyrinth has survived.

After the demise of the Royal Flush Gang this empty location became the home of The Drowned led by Zarasmus.

See a village under an outcrop of ice

Get through the zombies

They arrive at a Drow camp, they have a big fire

Meet Xanel

She gives them tea

Prince coughs a cloud of black

They all begin to feel sleepy

Prince leaves the abode with Xanel

Xanel addresses him as if he is the King of the Mountains

Prince goes along with it

He’s given a necklace and told the way to the Tyrant of the Peak

Janelle opens a doorway in the ice

Prince goes inside, Xanel closes it behind him

In morning everyone looks for Prince

They decide to continue on to Gearberg

Go back for their stuff, find Prince’s footprints, that disappear into the ice wall

Lottie tries to walk into the wall, nothing happens

Chui runs up the wall and finds a way passed

He comes back down and puts Lottie in an air bubble, she floats over the ice cliff

Lottie finds Prince’s footprints further up, they go into a cave

She tells Chui

Chui says he and Brink and Henri are leaving for Gearberg

Lottie says perhaps she’ll meet them there, she doesn’t want to go and follow Prince but she will

They part

Chui, Brink and Henri head to Gearberg

Lottie goes into the cave, level with the ground that goes straight down

Book of Tribnik

The Book of Tribnik is a collection of four scrolls kept in the possession of the current King. It is written in the "language of the Kings". The scrolls are said to have been written by King Tribnik himself, the first King of Hygard, and are only to be followed should the kingdom ever fall.

In a translation by King Reginald, the scrolls mention Igneon, and how Tribnik gathered key figures to help him seal Igneon away in the Black Crag, for they could not kill him.

In the North, Tribnik met with the Tyrant of the Peak.

In the East, he met with the Jade Lady.

In the South, he met the Voice from Above.

And in the West, he met with Mortallus.

Prince and Lottie and Sinead trial

Brink and Henri trial

Words from the book:

Elder Blomum and her son Blomin, escorted the Lizard King

In their completion of the trial, finally bested the Tyrant of the Peak

Other people complete the trial, gaining wisdom or proving themselves, or avenging a family member that fell to the trials before

Yetis part of the trial before the start

Any of the family line back in Coghold?

Dwarven lines are ancient and twist, Gadon will look through the records

Blomum line would remain with the Lizard King and leave the North

Brink and Henri research the family line that slayed the Tyrant in the book

A slayer, a hunter

Chui makes it up the top of the mountain, a figure slumps next to him

It is Sinead!

He offers her some food and some wine

Chui and Sinead run passed the Yeti

It is dark inside, up the steps there is an ice sphere

Light from below

A complete dome

“Rey, do you see anything?” - Sinead

Chui looks around for someone else

“Rey, if you’re there, talk to me” “you don’t get to kick me in the head and then die”

A voice in the dome offers them a fulfillment

They have completed its trial, and it will grant them what they seek

Chui rambles about climbing up the mountain and hoping to find something

Sinead yells that they are here to stop Igneon

The voice says that it can help, and it will offer it’s power as a ‘brand’

Chui ponders over this, a means to an end

Sinead says she wants the mark

Chui ponders over some more

They sway as the ground rumbles

Chui is completely calm

Sinead is tense

As the ground rumbles Chui catches Sinead as she stumbles and knocks her unconscious, well, disables her with some quick strikes

Chui is impaled mid-sentence

A white dragon erupts from the peak and flies off, flicking Chui down the mountain and ignoring Sinead

The dragon goes to rest on another peak
Adelais Breton

*[For Adelais (PC), see:* Adelais of Stormroque*]*

She was born in the Hygard Province, and was accidentally taken by Chavez Breton instead of his biological daughter, Adelais of Stormroque. She has no idea of this and has grown up believing she is daughter of the Breton family, owners of the Mason du Trade in Frandelle.

She looks younger than twenty-six (Adelais of Stormroque's age), but this could be because she is slighter, perhaps a dancer.
S3 E20

The group keep walking through the snow, in the direction of Gearberg

They come across spiked shapes / shadows in the distance

Birgitta knows it to be a graveyard for some creatures of the North, a place where they come to die

The shapes are giant, conical shells, sticking out of the ground

A snoring sound comes from one of them

Brink goes to investigate

It is Chui, sleeping in the shell

As they are discussing whether or not they should all hunker down here and sleep in the shells, a giant crab erupts from the snow

They are clearly undead, rotting crab corpses

As the first is taken out, three smaller ones emerge

They defeat them all, and hack meat off them to keep

Birgitta knows which bits are good and how to purify any that isn’t

They pack it onto the sleds and carry on

Their guide is met with two choices, lead them away from their path to some shelter, or lead them to the peaks where there will be a cave

They head to the cave, Brink lights a fire

They take it in turns to keep watch, Prince and Brink take first

The cave doesn’t feel right at all

Henri and Birgitta take second watch

Chui is asleep immediately

During Henri and Birgitta’s watch, Henri notices someone out in the snow in the night

A humanoid figure, pacing as if looking for something they have lost

Birgitta keeps watch at the back of the cave, there is definitely something not right about this place, the air smells stale

Henri asks if she should wake everyone

Birgitta warns that they should ignore the figure in the snow, don’t trust anyone out here

Henri wakes Brink, and Prince (even though he’s awake already)

They go to investigate the figure out in the snow

The figure is the man with the stove top hat, which he just found again in the snow

His clothes are ragged, his jaw is hanging off, his skin pale

He looks undead

Brink, you are dead

He introduces himself as Xander Hollows, a very polite fellow

On a few occasions he drops his accent and speaks as if with another voice

He says he’s looking for his friends

He says he’s going South

Brink says they are headed West

When they leave him, they see him head West instead of South

Birgitta is unhappy when everyone returns

The stale smell is worst

At the back of the cave they hear dragging and stomps as some things come up to greet them
Seraph

"Plumes of dust rose up from the wreckage of the building. Seraph watched from a balustrade. Maybe the one Bennex referred to as the Peacock had succeeded. Maybe Bennex was dead. Seraph would not believe it. The gargoyle would check for survivors, and if the Peacock rose from the ashes alone, Seraph would show her mercy as the Angel of Death. But first, it must force the Radiant scavengers to leave."

### Backstory

Gregor Boistel lived on the grounds of Cathedral of Mercy for many years into his retirement volunteering as the resident gardener. He lived alone, his children long grown up, his wife since passed. The cathedral grounds were beautiful and gave him comfort. Every day he would tend to the flowers, feed the local birds and brush the moss off the statues.

 One particularly rainy day the roof of his cottage sprung a leak, without hesitation he went out into the cold with shaking legs and proceeded to lean a ladder across the building. With hammer in hand he climbed onto the roof, despite his age he did the job with expertise. He began to make his way back to the ladder, sighting the gargoyle resting upon the cathedral spire watching him as it always did. On the way down a flash of sheet lightning gave him a start and his foot slipped on a wet tile.

 With a clap of thunder the gargoyle’s eyes opened. It leapt off the spire, wings unfolding as it fell and swooped down to the cottage; catching Gregor before he reached the ground. The gargoyle landed and folded its wings around the man; sheltering him from the rain.

#### Seraph's last words:

"Do not blame the Metzuken. Something is making them hate Hygard. Hygard invaded their land, it was slaughter. [Turns to look at Bennex as it fades away]. Thank you, Bennex."
Arca de Ouroboros

El **Arca de Ouroboros** es un arca en la que la raza humana se condensó como programas de computadora para finalmente alcanzar la eternidad. Comenzó la totalidad de la historia de The Epic de Zektbach al "caer" en la tierra de Aria Te'Laria, permitiendo a sus habitantes descubrir y recuperar Ristaccia; sus restos se encuentran en las Ruinas de la Skyship. En realidad, la caída del Arca fue lo que sucedió desde el punto de vista de los habitantes; lo que "realmente" sucedió fue causado por Joah, quien no estaba satisfecho con la vida eterna, ya que requería que los humanos renunciaran a sus personalidades, emociones e historia, esencialmente desalmados. En consecuencia, creó a L'erisia como la encarnación de todos estos elementos de la humanidad y "reinició" la especie, recreando el mundo entero y convirtiéndolo en Aria Te'Laria.

Los memos de Joah todavía están presentes en los restos del Arca, pero como son una verdad muy peligrosa para L'erisia, evita que alguien los alcance, como fue el caso de Lien, quien los descubrió y murió a manos de Shamshir. En cuanto a los restos en sí, son conocidos como las "Ruinas de Skyship" o "Ruinas de Ristaccia", y muchos eventos tienen lugar dentro de ellos, como la derrota de Malchut o el enfrentamiento final.
