Dagon Ambios

Dagon Ambios is a necromancer that once served Ebarnaje the Serpent King. He has attacked and narrowly escaped the Hellfyre Heroes multiple times. He believes that all Tieflings are evil power hungry creatures by nature and that Tieflings who strive to do good are wasting their potential. He does not hate himself or other Tieflings, but rather believes that Tieflings and the fiendish power they control is beautiful if "used correctly" but saddening and pathetic if "wasted".

He is the head of a circle of spellcasters known as The Circle of the Spurned. This circle includes Shoztahluss, Sim, Tux, Jennifer & The Blinded Man, and Ronlein. The circle also commands a small number of minions and servants among which are Pahis Narttu, Arthur Mordrick, and Reginald Mordrick.

Shortly after forming The Circle of the Spurned, Dagon took in an apprentice, a Kenku named Howle.
Falruffy

Falruffy is one of the newer members of Hellfyre Heroes. He grew up in the streets of Waterdeep under the guidance of two Halflings named Lasti Huegrass and Zob, who run a small thieves' guild. Is the (incorrectly self-proclaimed) coolest member of the party and a better (not actually) leader than Azazel Morningstar.
Æthelheard

**Æthelheard** (meaning roughly "Noble Stern"), also spelled **Ethelheard** or **Æþelheard**, was King of Wessex from 726 to 740. There is an unreliable record of Æthelheard having been the brother-in-law of his predecessor, Ine,[1] but his ancestry is unknown, perhaps making him the first King of Wessex not to be descended from Cynric by blood.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 House

When Ine abdicated and went to Rome in 726, he left behind no obvious heir, and according to Bede simply left his kingdom "to younger men".[2] In the wake of his departure, the West Saxon throne was disputed between Æthelheard and a rival claimant, Oswald. Oswald may have had the better claim, as the Anglo-Saxon Chroniclecalls him a descendant of the early king Ceawlin,[3] but it was Æthelheard who prevailed. It is possible that his success was due to the support of Æthelbald of Mercia, since he seems to have been subject to Æthelbald afterward. However, Æthelheard's lack of independence does not seem to have prevented Æthelbald from taking considerable territory from Wessex in 733, including the royal manor of Somerton.
Cerdic

**Cerdic** (/ˈtʃɜːrdɪtʃ/; Latin: Cerdicus) is cited in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as a leader of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, being the founder and first king of Saxon Wessex, reigning from 519 to 534 AD. Subsequent kings of Wessex all had some level of descent claimed in the Chronicle from Cerdic. (See House of Wessex family tree.) His origin, ethnicity, and even identity have been extensively disputed.

## Life

According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Cerdic landed in what is today Hampshire in 495 with his son Cynric in five ships. He is said to have fought a Brittonic king named Natanleod at Natanleaga and killed him thirteen years later (in 508) and to have fought at Cerdicesleag in 519. Natanleaga is commonly identified as Netley Marsh in Hampshireand Cerdicesleag as Charford (Cerdic's Ford[1]). The conquest of the Isle of Wight is also mentioned among his campaigns, and it was later given to his kinsmen, Stuf and Wihtgar (who had supposedly arrived with the West Saxons in 514). Cerdic is said to have died in 534 and was succeeded by his son Cynric or possibly Creoda of Wessex.

The early history of Wessex in the Chronicle has been considered unreliable, with duplicate reports of events and seemingly contradictory information.[3] David Dumvillehas suggested that Cerdic's true regnal dates are 538–554. Some scholars suggest that Cerdic was the Saxon leader defeated by the Britons at the Battle of Mount Badon, which was probably fought in 490 (and possibly later, but not later than 518). This cannot be the case if Dumville is correct, and others assign this battle to Ælle or another Saxon leader, so it appears likely that the origins of the kingdom of Wessex are more complex than the version provided by the surviving traditions.[4]

Some scholars have gone so far as to suggest that Cerdic is purely a legendary figure, and had no actual existence, but this is a minority view. The earliest source for Cerdic, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, was put together in the late ninth century; though it probably does record the extant tradition of the founding of Wessex, the intervening four hundred years mean that the account cannot be assumed to be accurate.[5][6]

Descent from Cerdic became a necessary criterion for later kings of Wessex, and Egbert of Wessex, progenitor of the English royal house and subsequent rulers of England and Britain, claimed him as an ancestor.
Cynric

**Cynric** /ˈkɪnˌrɪtʃ/ was King of Wessex from 534 to 560. Everything known about him comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. There, he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic, who is considered the founder of the kingdom of Wessex.[2] Some accounts cite that Cynric was (in the regnal list in the preface) the son of Cerdic's son, Creoda.[3]

 Father

## Conquest

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle describes Cerdic and Cynric with five ships landing in the area around Southampton in 495.[4][5] According to the chronicle, the two are described as aristocratic "aldormen" but only assumed rule over the Gewissae (as the West Saxons were known before the late 7th century) in 519.[6] This implies that Cynric was not a royal leader, and he and his father were only elevated to kingship when they allegedly conquered the heartlands of the future Wessex.

## Rule

During his reign, as described in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Saxons expanded into Wiltshire against strong resistance and captured Searobyrig, or Old Sarum, near Salisbury, in 552. In 556, he and his son Ceawlin won a battle against the Britons at Beranburh, now identified as Barbury Castle.[7] If these dates are accurate, then it is unlikely that the earlier entries in the Chronicle, starting with his arrival in Britain with his father Cerdic in 495, are correct. David Dumville has suggested that his true regnal dates are 554–581. Some note that Ceawlin's origin and his relationship with Cynric are obscure and that chroniclers merely suggested that they were relatives or that he was Cynric's son to legitimize the later Wessex lineage.[5]

## Etymology

The name Cynric has a straightforward Old English etymology meaning "Kin-ruler". However, as some scholars have proposed that both his predecessor, Cerdic, and successor, Ceawlin, had Celtic names,[6] an alternative etymology has been postulated, deriving the name from Brittonic "Cunorix", meaning "Hound-king" (which developed into Cinir in Old Welsh, Kynyr in Middle Welsh).[8][9][10]

Hunters

Hunters as depicted in Intermission 01 of the Conception Story

**Hunters** (**ハンタ**ー*Hantā*) are a new addition to the Madoka Magica Universe introduced in *Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebirth*, specifically within the *Rebirth Story Arc*. Hunters are the twin companions to the Puella Magi, assisting them in combating witches and the new threat of the archfiends as well as secretly serving a secondary purpose known only to the Incubators. Hunters used to be wide-spread around the world until the *Hunter/Magi War*, which also gave rise to the *Hunter Virus*, wiping the world clean of their kind, and leaving the Magi alone just as often as the Hunters themselves had found themselves "alone".

Despite the near eradication of the Hunter species hundreds of years ago, the species lived on in secret, contained to tiny pockets and thin, unexpected strains of the Hunter Gene being passed down from father to son, weakened by the Hunter Virus, but still able to awaken.
Cwichelm

**Cwichelm** (died c. 636) was an Anglo-Saxon king of the Gewisse, a people in the upper Thames area who later created the kingdom of Wessex. He is usually counted among the Kings of Wessex.

Cwichelm is first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 614: "This year Cynegils and Cwichelm fought at Beandun,[1] and slew two thousand and forty-six of the Welsh."[2]

Bede records that the attempted assassination of King Edwin of Deira, circa 626, was ordered by the West Saxon King Cwichelm, and does not mention Cynegils.[3] In 628, Cynegils and Cwichelm fought King Penda at Cirencester. The Chronicle could be expected to report a victory, but does not, so it is likely that Penda was the victor.[4]

The last mention of Cwichelm is for 636, when the Chronicle records: "This year King Cwichelm was baptized at Dorchester, and died the same year." Cynegils was also baptised at this time, by Bishop Birinus, with Oswald of Bernicia as his godfather. The final entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle concerning Cwichelm, in 648, states: "This year Cenwalh gave his relation Cuthred three thousand hides of land by Ashdown. Cuthred was the son of Cwichelm, Cwichelm of Cynegils." Cuthred may have been a sub-king under Cynegils and Cenwalh.[5]

The relationship of Cwichelm to Cynegils, and the question of whether King Cwichelm was a son of Cynegils is disputed. In the 648 entry originally referred to Cuthred, son of Cwichelm, son of Cynegils, the use of the Latin term propinquus (relation, kinsman) rather than nepos(grandson, nephew) is perhaps surprising. Barbara Yorke accepts that there was a single Cwichelm, and that he was Cynegils' son. D.P. Kirby notes that the evidence is weak, confused, and shows signs of later changes to the record.[6] The evidence that Cwichelm was king of the Gewisse is unassailable, but the question of his ancestry and relationship to Cynegils, if any, is m
Ceol

**Ceol** (also known as **Ceola** or **Ceolric**) was King of Wessex from 592 to 597.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 Father

Ceol was the son of Cutha (or Cuthwulf), the son of Cynric of Wessex. He reigned from either 591 or 592 to 597. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he began his reign in 591, but it was only in the following year that he drove out his uncle Ceawlin in a battle at Woden's Barrow in Wiltshire,[1][2] thus denying the throne to the rightful heir, Ceawlin's son Cuthwine. Upon his death the throne passed to his brother Ceolwulf. Because his son Cynegils was presumably too young to inherit the throne, it was given to the brother, as was probably the custom among the Saxons. In 1967 Wright and Jackson found a stone at Wroxeter in a Sub-Roman context (dating to c. 460 – 475 AD[4]) with the inscription CUNORIX MACUS MAQVI COLINE, which translates as "Cunorix ('Hound-king' = Cynric) son of Maqui-Coline ('Son-of-Holly'), both of which are regarded as Irish personal names. It is possible that Maqui Coline is linked to Ceol, suggesting a rival family to that of Ceawlin.[3]

## The Ceolian line

Ceol was the founding member of a sub-house of the House of Wessex which would rule Wessex from 591 – 645, 648 – 674 and from 676 – 685, comprising Ceol, Ceolwulf, Cynegils, Cenwalh, Seaxburh and Centwine. Coenwulf and Ceolwulf I of Mercia are also believed to be descendants of Ceol, meaning that the Ceolian line flourished for at least three centuries after its founder's death, and possibly longer.
Cuthred

**Cuthred** or **Cuþræd** was the King of Wessex from 740 (739 according to Simeon of Durham, 741 according to John of Worcester) until 756. He succeeded Æthelheard, his relative and possibly his brother.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 House

Cuthred inherited the kingdom while Mercia was at its peak. The two kingdoms often fought in Cuthred's first three years, but it appears that Æthelbald of Mercia was Wessex's overlord and that Æthelbald compelled Cuthred to join him in fighting the Welsh in 743.[1] This alliance would not last long since it ended soon.[1]

Cuthred's reign was a troubled time. In 748, the Ætheling Cynric, son of Cuthred attempted to depose his father but he was killed.[2] According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Æthelbald may have encouraged Cynric to rebel.[3]

In 750, the ealdorman Æthelhun led an unsuccessful rebellion in which he was winning until he was severely injured.[4]

In 752, Cuthred assisted by the now faithful Æthelhun led a successful rebellion against Æthelbald at Battle Edge in Burford and secured independence from Mercia for the rest of his reign.[1][2][5] He is also said to have fought the Cornish in 753.

Cuthred died in 756, but he left a stronger and more independent Wessex.[4][5]
Cynewulf

**Cynewulf** (meaning "kin wolf") was the King of Wessex from 757 until his death in 786. He ruled for about 29 years.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 Burial
 House

He was a direct male descendant of Cerdic. Cynewulf became king after his predecessor, Sigeberht, was deposed. He may have come to power under the influence of Æthelbald of Mercia, since he was recorded as a witness to a charter of Æthelbald shortly thereafter. However, it was not long before Æthelbald was assassinated and as a consequence, Mercia fell into a brief period of disorder as rival claimants to its throne fought. Cynewulf took the opportunity to assert the independence of Wessex: in about 758 he took Berkshire from the Mercians. Cynewulf was also often at war with the Welsh.

In 779, Cynewulf was defeated by the new King of Mercia, Offa at the Battle of Bensington, and Offa then retook Berkshire, and perhaps also London. Despite this defeat, there is no evidence to suggest Cynewulf subsequently became subject to Offa.

In 786, Cynewulf was surprised and killed, with all his Thegns present, at Merantune (now called Marten, a hamlet in the county of Wiltshire), by Cyneheard the Ætheling, brother of the deposed Sigeberht. Some historians have speculated that the relation of this in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle may be an application of a traditional story and not accurate in its details.

The murder of Cynewulf was also considered to have taken place at Merton in Surrey, but modern historians, including the Rev G. H. Godwin now ascribe it to some place of the same name near Winchester. Trevelyan believes it to have been Merton, Surrey, however.[1]
Seaxburh

**Seaxburh** (died c. 674) was a queen of Wessex. She is also called Queen of the Gewisse, an early name for the tribe which ruled Wessex. She is said to have ruled Wessex for between one and two years after the death of her husband, Cenwalh, in 672. Her accession to the throne is documented in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for that year which states[1] that 'here Cenwalh passed away, and Seaxburh, his queen, ruled one year after him'. It was extremely rare for a woman to rule in her own right in Anglo-Saxon England, and she was the only woman to appear in a regnal list. She may have ruled for over a year, as the next reign is entered in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 674.

 Predecessor
 Reign
 Predecessor
 Spouse

However, Bede said that after death of Cenwalh "sub-kings took upon themselves the government of the kingdom", so the chroniclers may have tidied up a complicated situation.[2][3] Writing decades after Cenwalh's life, when Bede lists Cenwalh's accession, he mentions Seaxburh as the unnamed second wife whom the king married after he had cast away his first wife, who was the sister of the Mercian king Penda. It has been suggested that Bede deliberately omitted mention of Seaxburh because he viewed her marriage to Cenwalh, and therefore her right to the throne, as illegitimate.[4]

Seaxburh was succeeded in about 674 by Æscwine, a descendant of Cenwalh's great-uncle Ceolwulf of Wessex.[5]
Centwine

**Centwine** (died after 685) was King of Wessex from c. 676 to 685 or 686, although he was perhaps not the only king of the West Saxons at the time.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 House
 Father

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports that Centwine became king c. 676, succeeding Æscwine. Bede states that after the death of King Cenwalh: "his under-rulers took upon them the kingdom of the people, and dividing it among themselves, held it ten years".[1] Bede's dismissal of Æscwine and Centwine as merely sub-kings may represent the views of the supporters of the King Ine, whose family ruled Wessex in Bede's time.[2] However, if the West Saxon kingdom did fragment following Cenwalh's death, it appears that it was reunited during Centwine's reign.[3]

An entry under 682 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Centwine drove the Britons to the sea". This is the only event recorded in his reign. The Carmina Ecclesiastica of Aldhelm, Bishop of Sherborne (died 709), written a generation after Centwine's reign, records that he won three great battles. In addition, it states that he was a pagan for part of his reign, adopting Christianity and becoming a patron of the church.[4] The Chronicle's version of his ancestry makes Centwine a son of King Cynegils, and thus a brother of King Cenwalh and King Cwichelm, but Aldhelm does not record any such relationship.[5]

Chapter 40 of Eddius Stephanus's Life of Wilfrid records that Centwine was married to a sister of Queen Iurminburh, second wife of King Ecgfrith of Northumbria. Her name is not reliably recorded, and the suggestion that she is to be identified with Dunna, Abbess of Withington, is broadly rejected. Their daughter Bugga was certainly a nun when Aldhelm dedicated verses to her, and was probably an Abbess.[6]

Centwine is reported to have abdicated and become a monk. Aldhelm writes that he "gave up riches and the reins of government and left his own kingdom in the name of Christ".[7] He was succeeded by Caedwalla. The date of his death is unknown.
Æscwine

**Æscwine** was a King of Wessex from about 674 to 676, but was probably not the only king in Wessex at the time.

 Reign
 Predecessor
 House
 Father

Bede writes that after the death of King Cenwalh in 672: "his under-rulers took upon them the kingdom of the people, and dividing it among themselves, held it ten years".[1] According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Cenwalh was succeeded as ruler for about one year by his wife Seaxburh.[2] Æscwine reigned from about 674 to 676.[3] Another source claims that Æscwine's father, Cenfus (Old English: Cēnfūs), ruled for two years after Seaxburh.[4]

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle supplies a genealogy, making him a fifth-generation descendant of Cynric. Bede's dismissal of Æscwine as a mere sub-king may represent the views of the supporters of the King Ine of Wessex, whose family ruled Wessex in Bede's time,[5] as Ine's family were bona fide descendants of Cynric through Ceawlin's son Cuthwine.

In 675, Æscwine defeated an invasion of Wessex led by the Mercian King Wulfhere at Biedanheafde,[6] a location which has not been certainly identified.

Æscwine was succeeded by Centwine of Wessex.
Beorhtric

**Beorhtric** (d. 802), also **Brihtric**; meaning "Magnificent ruler" was the King of Wessex from 786 to 802, succeeding Cynewulf, but his wife and father-in-law had most of the power.[1][2]

 Reign
 Predecessor
 Spouse
 House

## Early lifeEdit

The names of his parents are unknown but the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle claims that he was descended from Cerdic.[3]

In 786, Cynewulf, the King of Wessex, was killed by Cyneheard, brother of the former King Sigeberht. Cyneheard died soon after.[4]

## ReignEdit

### Becoming KingEdit

Offa, the King of Mercia who supported Beorhtric's succession to the throne.

Either with help of his close ally Offa, the King of Mercia or quickly coming under his influence, Beorhtric became King of Wessex in 786, but he had to still contend the throne with Ecgberht who Beorhtric and Offa drove to exile.[2][5]

In 787, Beorhtric held the Synod of Chelsea jointly with Offa, and in 789, he married one of Offa's daughters, Eadburh.[4]

Also in 789, it was during Beorhtric's reign that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recorded the first Viking raids in England.[4] The vikings landed on the Dorsetcoast, near the Isle of Portland, where they killed a royal official, the shire reeve as the reeve thought they were traders.

Land that had traditionally been on the borders of Mercia and Wessex were administered by the Mercian court, as is seen in Charters of Offa, and his son Ecgfrith. West Saxons seem to have used Offa's currency: a recent survey of early medieval single coin finds reveals a trail of Offa pennies running from the Upper Thames to Wareham, a site connected with Beorhtric.

Coin of Beorhtric, probably minted at Winchester c. 795.

After Offa's death in 796, Mercian power over England was weakened, and Beorhtric may have exercised more independence during this period. The only two West Saxon coins to have survived from Beorhtric's reign were produced at this time, suggesting that he had established a new mint. One of these coins was found in 1854, two miles outside of Andover.[6] Within a few years, Offa's successor, Coenwulf, had restored Mercia's position. After 799, Beorhtric's relationship with the Mercians seems to have been similar to the situation before Offa's death.

### DeathEdit

In later years Asser, a scholar at Alfred the Great's court, recorded the story that Beorhtric had died from being accidentally poisoned by his wife, Eadburh. She fled to a nunnery in Francia, from which she was later ejected after being found with a man. The provenance of this story is dubious. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Beorhtric was buried at Wareham in 802, possibly at the church of Lady St. Mary.[7] Beorhtric was succeeded by Ecgberht who was recalled from exile. [2]
Buck

Buck was a hunter who was briefly part of the War of Lights but left not wanting to get to involved.

## History

Buck was a hunter from Toalla who travelled to Carufell to find new resources to hunt. He was on The Hearth when it was assaulted by the Silver Circle. He was rescued by the Burning Palm. Onboard he was suspicious with their over-friendliness. He snuck below decks and broke into the storeroom with Tlaloc. Inside they found a barrel full of black robes. Later he was dropped off on shore and involved in a skirmish with wolves. The group went to Srensgard but Buck fled in the night not wanting to get involved with the conflict between the cults.

Mutah Qinli

Mutah Qinli was a famous Roadani chef, and the head cook of Hrai Kraedox. In Yaerrus of AeP 446, he was investigated as a possible spy. His name was eventually cleared.

## History

Mutah Qinli created a name for himself as a restaurant owner. Reportedly, people who travel from all over Var’Tareen to visit his restaurant. In AeP 446 he sold his restaurant and went to work in Hrai Kraedox. Because he was in his sixties at this time, he took this as a more relaxing way of working. Due to his start date, he was suspected of being an Iron Tempest Commando. He was investigated by Mezzin Qolat, Krin Vash’Neer, Al’Sys, and Oruc Chalishan. They were suspicious of his meetings with a group of Toallans. However, it became clear that he was just meeting them to purchase hard to find ingredients. Also due to his age, physical ability, and time living in Roadon, his name was cleared.

## Appearance

Mutah Qinli was a large man. He wore grey clothes and often was seen brandishing a cleaver at people who made him upset.

## Relations

Qinli was the great uncle of Dolvin. He was training the boy to become a cook. Mutah also had an amicable relationship with Jarai Prasus Ka. She personally asked him to come be the head chef of Hrai Kraedox.

Terrance

Terrance was an operative of Pellisberg who was active in Pruzer in the year AeP 446. He was captured by operatives of the Mordish Birding Society. He led the operatives into an ambush at the Procession of Peace. His allies were defeated and the Birding Society members interrogated Terrance=e and his Captain before having them arrested.

## History

Terrance was involved in the conspiracy to steal information on the rituals The Professor was translating. He helped provide security for the Pellisberg men. Terrance did not go with his captain to meet Dan Irem which likely saved his life. Instead he waited at the safehouse in the Coal Quarter. K.R., Vella and Osprey found him there. He heard Vella climbing to the roof and waited with a crossbow ready to attack when she entered. However it was K.R. that opened the door. He hit K.R. grazing the man, but was then disarmed and knocked over by Vella. After questioning by Osprey and K.R. he revealed that he thought they worked for the Kaiser. He also revealed that he was to meet the other Pellisberg men in a town called Miirshire about two days East of Pruzer. They were going to use the Procession of Peace as cover.

Terrance had planned on giving them all this information. The Captain had instructed him to be caught and to lead any pursuing party into an ambush. He promised Skua he could lead her and the rest of the group to the Captain. He described the Captain and told how he was recruited. Skua realized he was trying to deceive her and threatened him. He told her that it wasn't an accident that he was left behind. He was supposed to make sure no one went after the Captain and the Thief. They took him to the Procession and left Osprey to watch him as they explored. Later they tied his hands under a jacket. Vella and K.R. led him around the Procession, making him take them to the Captain. Terrance left them into an ambush. Fortunately for Vella and K.R., Skua, the Curator, and Sylvie had been close behind. During the fight Terrance tried to escape but was stopped by the Curator. He was questioned along with the Captain and then turned into the authorities at the Procession.

## Appearance

Terrance wore more Southern style clothes than people in Pruzer. His boots were thinner and the colors on his clothes a little duller. Like other operatives of Pellisberg he carried a pocket watch with three dolphins on the back.

## Relations

Terrance was an ally of Dan Irem and a prisoner of the Mordish Birding Society. He was especially scared of Osprey.

The Captain recruited Terrance to come to Pruzer. Prior to this they were both working for various lords in Pellisberg. Both Lords served the same goal. Terrance worked for the Captain and respected his leadership.

## Powers

Terrance worked as a spy in Pruzer. He was somewhat capable with a crossbow.

West Merchants Association

The West Merchants Association is the ruling body of Toalla. Their leader is the Regent Administrator who is the head of state and business. They are also the most successful business in all of Var’Tareen.

## History

The WMA was the main force behind the Toallan civil war which was also known as the Merchants Rebellion. They toppled the monarchy and began to rule in its place while continuing their business. They fought against Roadon in the Second Desert war but afterward continued trade with them. They had an outpost in the Crimson Casbah and maintained a small militia there.

In AeP 445, they put a bounty of several talents on a beast terrorizing the town of Tanner's Vale. Vince Carter was stationed here after he spilled soup on the Regent Administrator.

☀In Mortus of AeP 446 a high ranking member of the Association was killed in Crimson Casbah by a Sren’Kana. The monster was later driven from town with the help of Gilberta Skap, a WMA member and local tavern owner.

## Organization

The WMA was run by an elected Regent Administrator. Members could buy entry into the organization which gave them great political power. The WMA also hired clerks and staffers. These were prestigious positions that also came with political power but at the cost of hard work.

Ritaak

Ritaak flew the banner of the Winter's Hand

Ritaak was a captain in the Winter’s Hand and a former mentor of Alekiai. She helped Alekiai break into the King's castle in order to make the royal guard look incompetent. Ritaak was a Poi'Mareath.

## History

Ritaak was born in Carufell. At a young age she joined the Winter's Hand. She rose through the ranks eventually becoming a captain of a company based out of Tarabrenth. Around AeP 430 she met Alekiai. He was a young member of her company. She recognized his potential as a leader and warrior. Ritaak became his mentor. However in AeP 441 Alekiai left the Hand.

Towards the end of AeP 446, Ritaak came into contact with Luka. He was trying to organize a theft from the King's castle. Ritaak agreed to help him in part because Luka and Alekiai were both members of the Nurmendemar, and partly to advance the goals of the Hand. She agreed to sell him a key to the secret tunnel into the castle. This was under the condition that no Winter's Hand soldiers be harmed. When the hiest was to take place she warned the Hand and the mercenaries got out of the way of the thieves. In Rallius of AeP 447, Alekiai and Willa met Ritaak to pick up the key. She was glad to see her former student again telling him if he stayed with the Hand he would be a captain by now. They parted ways after he promised not to hurt any members of the Hand.

## Appearance

Despite her age, Ritaak still had pitch black hair. Being a Poi’Mareath, her eyes were black and she had a clawed hand. Ritaak wore leather armor, carried a dagger and had short hair. She always had perfect posture.

## Relations

Alekiai served in Ritaak’s company when he joined the Winter’s Hand. She took a liking to him because of his attitude and fighting capabilities. Ritaak taught him more about combat and leadership. Had he stayed longer she would have made him her Second. She respected him and his choice to return home.

Luka and Ritaak had a business arrangement regarding a key to the King’s castle. He paid her a large sum of money for it. It was likely this arrangement was built around Luka being a member of the Nurmendemar like Alekiai.

## Powers

As a Winter's Hand Captain, Ritaak directly commanded one hundred and one mercenaries. Additionally, because her company was stationed in Tarabrenth she had a high influence with the leadership of the mercenary group. Ritaak was also a skilled fighter even in middle age. She possessed innate magic like all Poi’Mareath.

### Gender

Male

Zentin Pareer was a general in the Roadani Military and the War Master in charge of matters on Mordehall. He was one of the suspects in Mezzin Qolat’s investigation of a spy in Hrai Kraedox. He was proven innocent but his assistant, Vreeli Szere, was arrested.

## History

Zentin was born to an unremarkable family near the Mordish border. He had three siblings. When Zentin turned seventeen he joined the Roadani Military on an officer's track. He served through the Second Desert War. Early in AeP 446 he was promoted to the job of War Master on Mordehall. Around this time there was a rumor going around that the current Grand General, Prasus Ka, was going to retire soon. Pareer began putting together a play for Grand General but was stopped due to an investigation in Hrai Kraedox. Mezzin Qolat, Oruc, and Al’Sys came to Pareers house to speak with him. There they put together that his assistant was an undercover Iron Tempest Commando. This was likely the end of his play for Jarai.

## Appearance

Zentin was the perfect model of a Roadani General. In AeP 446, despite being in his early fifties, he was still fit. He has short distinguished grey hair and a well trimmed beard. Off duty he wore a loose black tunic, sandals, and his sun amulet.

## Relations

Zentin was married to Tanya Pareer. She supported him and they kept no secrets from each other. They had two sons and a daughter, all of which were either officers or training to be officers.

Vreeli Szere was Zentin’s assistant after his promotion to War Master. Because she turned out to be a spy, their relationship ended his hopes of becoming Grand General or receiving a promotion.

## Powers

Pareer was an expert on Mordish politics. Shortly before his investigation he realized there was going to be a civil war there. It is likely that Vreeli Szere brought this information to the Kaiser. Pareer was an expert political analyst and powerful social figure in Sar-Makashi.

Nyshia Furrel

Nyshia Furrel was one of the Pirate Lords of the Southern Isles in AeP 446. She was the temperamental captain of the *Star Queen*, a name she also went by, and was known for her love of relics and her lavish lifestyle. She granted the *Kirinda’s Jewe*l safety in Crow’s Harbor and was a commander on the victorious side in Iron Eye’s Final Battle.

## History

Nyshia was born in the Southern Isles and joined a pirate crew at a young age. Eventually she became a captain and pirate lord. She was known to have large crews taking on anyone who would want to sign up. She would give many gifts to her friends and followers. However she was very hard on her crew and many new recruits would float back home. Out of all the pirate lords she was known to lead the most lavish lifestyle. Nyshia liked to make a display of her wealth. She was also known for her collection of relics.

In Sharus of AeP 446 she met with Lord Keel, Sylvie, Daxian, Jack, and J’Kar when they were attempting to dock in Crow’s Harbor. She met them on the Star Queen surrounded by her crew. After a brief discussion she granted safe harbor to the Kirinda’s Jewel after they traded her an enchanted compass. The group left unsure how much she liked them. Captain Furrel then sent a group to follow the compass.

Several days later she met with Lord Keel and Commodore March. The Mordish noble convinced the two to rally their fleets and sail against Iron Eye. She intercepted the Kirinda’s Jewel as it was fleeing from Iron Eye’s fleet. Furrel then fought in the resulting battle and emerged victorious. As a result her power grew considerably in the Isles.

## The Star Queen

The ship of Nyshia Furrel had golden sails and was painted in bright colors. Her quarters were decorated with pillows and sofas. But it still flew many plundered flags. Her sigil was skull wearing a golden crown on a black field. Onboard Furrel had a reception room. It was decorated with lavish curtains, furniture, and incense. The room was also full of relics found throughout the Southern Isles.

## Appearance

Nyshia was extremely attractive and liked to play that up. She wore fine clothes and extravagant golden jewelry. She had long black hair and light brown skin. Nyshia had a pet parrot who travelled with her. She carried a decorative cutlass and wore only minimal clothing.

## Relations

Nyshia had a fragile alliance with Curek and Commodore March. She was also the one who allowed the *Kirinda’s Jewel* to dock in Crow’s Harbor. The alliance was broken by Lord Keel who convinced March and Furrel to betray Iron Eye.

## Powers

Captain Furrel was known to be a skilled archer and sailor. She prefered ambush tactics over traditional fighting. Nyshia was fond of public executions for those who failed her.

Crypt Keeper

> *“Is that thing a priest of Nezeril?”*
>
>

> -Yoseph Thelandir minutes before his death at the hands of the Crypt Keeper
>
>

The Crypt Keeper was a shadowy hulking figure that stalked the tunnels of Tarabrenth. Yoseph suspected it was a priest of Nezeril. The Crypt Keeper had seemingly great strength and an ancient aura about it. It never communicated with the people it encountered. Encounters with the Crypt Keeper were prefaced by a tingling in one’s ear and a rhythmic stomp and scrape.

## History

In the mid 300’s the Crypt Keeper may have been encountered by an expedition team sent to chart the tunnels. Most of them never made it back and those who did refused to speak of their trip. But a map they made did indicate a room as the "Crypt Keeper's Ward"

In AeP 446 Tarron Kesvin, Veldud Mirthfow, Yoseph Thelandir, and Zayn Shmitty entered the tunnels below Tarabrenth. Infrequently they felt a strange tingling in their ears and heard the Stomp Scrape of the Crypt Keeper. It became apparent to them that something was maintaining the area of the tunnels they were in and that the area was a temple to Nezeril. They heard the Crypt Keeper follow them and ran from it. Eventually they came to a part of the tunnel they had been already but one exit was gone. That was when they first saw the Crypt Keeper. Veldud tried to hide while the others ran. It seemed the Crypt Keeper noticed Veldud but decided to ignore him in favor of the others. It killed Zayn before turning back. Veldud ran to its Ward and found a shrine to Nezeril and a god stone. He only escape by harnessing the power of Nezeril to shuffle the tunnels. So it went back for the other two. Though Yospeh had prayed repeatedly to Rallia for protection, the Crypt Keeper caught him. Yoseph was killed and Tarron escaped.

## Appearance

Taller than any human, the Crypt Keeper was over seven feet. It was wide and solid. Its clothes were layers of black tattered cloaks that obstructed almost every feature. It also seemed to be wrapped in shadows and its face was completely hidden. It carried a massive scythe of dark metal and a handle of twisted gnarled wood. The Crypt Keeper walked with a limp favoring its left side. When it stomped it seemed to be heavier than it looked.

## Powers

No matter where Tarron, Yoseph, Veldud, and Zayn ran in the crypts, the Crypt Keeper seemed to know their location. It also had the power to rearrange the tunnels it occupied. This was most likely from use of Nezeril’s godstones. It also clearly had great strength but the exact extent was unknown.

Seela Brax

Seela Brax was a recix in the Roadani Military during AeP 446. She was Roadani by birth and lived in Sar-Makashi. Her post was as a guard of General Rathers and worked in Hrai Kraedox. Seela Brax was a main suspect in the search for the Iron Tempest Commando in the keep.

## History

Seela Brax was born to a large family in Sar-Makashi. They were from the Ring but mostly worked as laborers in the farms outside the walls. Her grandfather owned a small portion of land where he grew rice. She always planned on leaving the military after her four years of service to work with her family. After she was drafted she was eventually assigned to work in the personal guard of General Rathers who was one of the War Masters. She worked in Hrai Kraedox. Because she was assigned to the most secure place in Roadon she never saw action.

In AeP 446 her family fell into deep debt. She used her position in Hrai Kraedox to try and bail her family out. Seela began to steal plates and cups from the keep. Several Toallan merchants had an interest in buying what she found. They would meet her in the Palm Street Ale and Tea House when her squad went drinking. Doing this prevented the interest from swallowing her family. Seela had other problems as well. When she went drinking with her unit, their segreant would get too drunk and try to start fights. The unit had no problem putting down Sergeant Mahkay, however they felt uncomfortable doing so.

Because of the week she started working in Hrai Kraedox she fell under suspicion. The Corp of Secrets had determined that an Iron Tempest Commando had infiltrated the keep that week. In Yaerrus of AeP 446 Commandant Mezzin Qolat, Cleric Krin, Oruc Chalishan, and Al’Sys started an investigation. They talked to Seela and learned about her issue with Sergeant Mahkay. Krin was suspicious of her because she addressed him incorrectly twice. However, when they investigated the Palm Street Ale and Tea House they found she was nervous because of her stealing. Oruc cinterrupted her when she was dealing with the Toallans. She did not fight him and promised Krin she would comply completely after explaining her family’s situation. Krin understood her situation and thinking her morally justified, ensured she was not dismissed but instead moved to an outpost in the middle of nowhere to serve the rest of her time in obscurity.

## Appearance

Seela Brax was an average looking Roadani. She was relatively fit and wore the uniform of a simple soldier.

## Relations

Seela Brax cared deeply for her family even enough to steal from the Grand General. She felt bad for betraying her unit but hated her sergeant due to his penchant for drinking too much and trying to attack his subordinates.

## Powers

As a member of the Roadani Military, Recix Brax was expertly trained with the spear and the shortsword. Although relative to the Roadani her skills were not exceptional, relative to the rest of the world she was very impressive.

Remin the Bard

Remin was a soldier who fought with Rallia before her ascendance and one of two besides her who survived the assault on Ghendar. He is considered to be one of the greatest mortal heros. Remin’s Day is named for him.

## History

Remin was a soldier in the Army of Mortals during the third century of the War of Ascendance. He served under Rallia who was at that time a captain. When she decided to assault Ghendar’s keep he helped convince others to join her assault. He was one of two others who did not die by the hand of the King of Winds of his forces. After the battle he helped Rallia enchant her spear. He would go on to write part one of The Book of Rallia, titled Coming of the Storm Queen, which served as the basis for the Books of the Moth.

## Appearance

Remin was said to have light brown hair and bright green eyes.

## Powers

Remin was said to be one of the best magicians in the army. He had an enchanted wooden flute which he used as a magic focus but was destroyed by Ghendar. He is said to be one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. It is also chronicled that he fought with a short sword though his skill with this was average.

## Legacy

After the ascendance of Rallia, Remin wrote of their experience. He titled that prose *“The Coming of the Storm Queen”* and it became the text that organized religion was based around. When the Books of the Moth were assembled that text was central. Remin also has a day of the week named after him.

Calvin had a bluebird named Remin in honor of the bard.
