Characters

Click here for an alphabetical list of all the characters that have corresponding pages.

Characters from the overarching story

Eluviel Harsada
Eluvelon
Virgil, a Cambion searching for Eluviel Harsada
Simeon Ibn Seif and his alter ego Simone Facouri
Nargyle, a magic using Elf who was instrumental in convincing the Kharkhorin king to attack Rosaria 50 years ago. His stated purpose as headmaster of the only magical academy in the world was the Elvish reclamation of the lands where the portal to the Fey Wild is situated, with some economic benefits thrown in, since Rosaria is the more fertile zone of the Hammerhead. Gladiola Faraday shared a speculation from the Weavers (the anti-war coalition helping magic users avoid prince Mordecai's conscription) that he might have been a paid instigator, though it's unclear who'd benefit... Gladiola's grandfather felt the rumour was credible, because this Nargyle wasn't headmaster when grandfather Faraday attended the school, nor was Nargyle a known candidate to become headmaster

Characters from arc 3

Potential encounters in The Vale (we haven't met these people yet)

Aashvi Saree
Santiago, a.k.a. Foxglove
Grewishka, a dwarf who turned into a werewolf when the Wandering Isle appeared along with an illusion of the moon
the dwarf Flint, a foreman in the dwarven mine. According to Rilke’s information, he leads the team on which Grewishka also worked
random sea elves in The Vale, who might know about the King of Storms (according to The Gilded Blade)

Potential encounters beyond The Vale (we haven't met these people yet)

a woman Eluvelon warned us about: she fell into the clutches of Lunaire's vengeance (much further than El). She's also hunting the Wandering Isle, and Eluvelon hopes we'll try to show her forgiveness, much more than she has shown us. In session 39, Virgil confirmed she's armed with a sword similar to El's sword
Gwyleth Paltrow, a fabled weapons smith working near The Lake of the Mother and Child , who might be able to fully awaken El's sword, provided we have enough voidstones to power its magic. Currently he's harbouring Ezra's family (Aashvi Saree and her 3 daughters) as well as Ezra's tiger Saksham
the marid Astarion, Hanaïn's brother, Aqueel's uncle and possibly Hali's (deadbeat) bio dad
rumours of a mysterious tall people living in hiding on the peaks of The Spine
reputable mushroom farmers
a drow colony deep in the Spine, weaving spider silk in worship to Clíodhna

Characters from arc 2

in The Vale, where The Wandering Isle suddenly appeared

Troien Rilke, a human woman who became The Vale's youngest guild master ever, after she betrayed her family in The Gilded Blade as soon as the Rosarian military started conscripting ships. The Gilded Blade isn't happy about this & hired Simeon to intimidate and kill her
Feynmann, a deep gnome who works outside of the mine as Rilke's right hand person
madame Brie, a grim receptionist in the guild hall

.

Dr. Beckett, The Vale's surgeon who founded the non-magical clinic
Mary, who runs the clinic's reception with an iron fist in a silk glove

.

Wendy, the owner and bartender of The Iron Oar Inn, where apparently we've slept before, even though we don't remember it
Osgar, the smith, brother to Wendy and father to Reva Mehrabi (whom we met when she was a lieutenant in the Sable Serpent)

.

Io Halloran, the patriotic captain of the Rosarian military frigate The Surya. Her ship and her uniform confirmed what Ezra had long suspected: John Magpie "liberated" his ship and his coat from the Rosarian navy, probably some time after the Battle of the Bay of Beasts. Later on, she revealed that she knows Astarian (Aqueel's uncle), both as her father's friend and as a former lover.
Vane (he/him), the first mate and possibly Halloran’s secret admirer
Solace (they/them), a Soliman cleric who believes in the sun god’s teachings of healing and mercy rather than the more combative aspects. They can channel enough power to remove curses like a werewolf infection
An enterprising commissary who tried to cook Bella Swan
Several boatswains, crew members and guards we’ve talked to but haven’t really connected with

.

Jacob Saree, Ezra's father
the thugs Galahad, murder kitty and Uwain whom Jacob had hired to find Ezra, but who turned on Jacob, threatening to rob him so we were obliged to intervene and save him

.

Lucerne (The Vale's best mushroom cook) and Pandolf (an Eladrin history teacher), Mi'kal's parents

Poinsettia, a pixie who works as a courier, typically in the Gloaming part of the Fey Wild, but who might know a way to send a letter to the Dawning part of the Fey Wild
Sastruga and Loh'sa: these college boyfriends turned eminence grise power couple in the Vale have been together for the better part of a millennium. They were involved in the assassination attempt on Fyllion 30 years ago, and they're still under the Morrigan's direct orders
Yu, a doubleganger assassin from the Gloaming Court

.

the twins Maya Ghorann, an alchemist/artificer and her brother Magnus, an enchanter. Usually they run Ghorann's magical sundries and supplies together, but Magnus is missing (we didn't meet him, he's probably with John Magpie aboard the Kraken), and Maya lost her leg in the werewolf attack. 25 years ago, their mother went missing when the drow cut contact with the surface world. This was the inciting incident that caused Ishmael Ghorann's exile/leaving the Vale without his kids

Lynskey, the owner of the drydocks where John Magpie and Magnus Ghorann worked on the ship The Kraken, formerly known as The Young Kraken

.

Helena, a dwarven waitress in the eatery The Spoon and Fork
Flint, the foreman running one of the dwarven mines and werewolf sire to Grewishka, Sulf and Brennan, and several other miners
Grewishka, a dwarf who was turned into a werewolf against his will to increase his productivity in the mine and make a better profit for the foreman Flint. When the Wandering Isle unexpectedly appeared, with an illusory moon, he was on the surface, turned into his feral form and killed 3 people before he ran and hid somewhere.
Tori the miller's daughter, a surface dwarf who had a relationship with Grewishka before he was turned into a werewolf (not that she knew that)

.

Kekoa, a triton druid. He used to be a coral farmer near the underwater city Mandurai but he was displaced by Hanaïn the King of Storm's enduring rage over Aqueel's disappearance. Kekoa seems to have a romantic interest in Hali, which is decidedly not reciprocated. It turns out that Kekoa was a scout for Hanaïn's attack on The Vale

.

Sloane, a deep gnome currently possessed by Virgil, who's hiding out in the deep gnome mine, possibly injured

in The Grove, where the Elder Dryad guards Taurillon's portal between the Fey Wild and the mortal plane

Lutiel, a 650 year old druid in service of Taurillon, who can wild-shape into a harpy eagle, whose name means Lover of a Tree. He can cast a magical totem in the shape of bear statue. His name portended his centuries long love affair with the Elder Dryad
Cedar the satyr and Daisy the pixie †, formerly from the Dawning Courts in the Fey Wild (see "characters from our backstories") and currently warlocks bound to Czernobog, the devil toad (see below)
Louis the barghest, a wolf-like monster with a human face, one of Virgil's lieutenants. Fyllion gave him his name
Czernobog the devil toad †, aka Bog the frog, one of Virgil's lieutenants who creates zombies after he drinks them dry of their life force
Fake-Bog, a quasit serving as Czernobog's familiar
Lusídhe, a dryad who, for centuries, has guarded the Grove's portal in service of Taurillon. Her name means Loving an Elf, referring to her love affair/marriage to Lutiel
Saylara, another dryad of the Grove, who takes on the role of Elder Dryad after Lusídhe's passing. She's newly crowned with Taurillon's blessing, and as the withering of Sangrün's vines removes the blockade between Breheima and Rosaria, she'll soon open the portal to the Fey Wild again

In Yaruda

Only empty druid huts with names of the druids and their familiars: Teagan with Johnnie the bear, Dolwin and Lutile the otter, Mobay and Frauki the wolf

In the Sandveld between Damanhour and Yaruda

Sahir, a human man in his forties, in colourful robes & with dramatic kohl eyeliner, with decorative rather than practical weapons. He poses as a travelling merchant and he plays the sitar (session 23)
Satine, a human woman in her twenties, travelling with Sahir, in similar robes and kohl and with similar weapons. Along with Sahir she poses as a travelling merchant with specialty luxury goods on their camel, like raw silk from the drow colony deep in The Spine who worship Clíodhna (session 23)
a tiny messenger bird, a familiar of one of the guild members
the guild the Gilded Blade (not a merchant guild but a group of dry bandits, troubled by the blockade limiting travel between Breheima and Rosaria, as well as by prince Mordecai's war preparations): a handful of bandits and their familiars, a lion and a lioness, a giant scorpion, a bearded vulture and a hawk

in Damanhour

captain Hasan from the Thamyrian army, leading a 3-person unit searching for Aashvi and Santiago in the area around Damanhour
Sharm and her husband Mohsine, hospitable villagers (in the absence of a proper inn)
Saumi (the mayor and steward of the Lunaire temple) and his wife Hasjra
Ridwan, the shopkeeper, possibly Reva Mehrabi's father (given the similarities between their eyes)

3 lizard folk

The crew of the Young Kraken

The ship The Young Kraken and her pirates' code

The Young Kraken has a better reputation than most pirate vessels, and for good reason. Mainly because Captain Magpie is often merciful, teaching his crew the same attitude. Sometimes we even let go of a prize because we didn’t want to resort to violence towards people that didn’t really deserve it.

Captain Magpie's guiding principles encourages us to develop and follow the Young Kraken's Pirate Code.

captain John Magpie

The fashion House Saree

Mee-maw, Aashvi's mother, living somewhere in Kharkhorin. Ezra remembers her cooking & her fairy tales, but not much more
Aashvi Saree, the matriarch who left Kharkhorin & brought fashion prominence to the Saree name with her fashion creations. Ezra was unaware Aashvi is linked to the organization of magic users "The Weavers" who (treasonously) resist prince Mordecai conscripting the magic users for his renewal of the war with Kharkhorin
Jacob Saree, who took the Saree name, used to travel a lot on Saree business but was largely absent
Meera, the eldest sister who designs elegant and classic outfits
Saumya, the second sister whose work is impressive and timeless
Ezra, the third child, named Zoya at birth, earmarked (by Aashvi) for trade until Ezra ran away from home for a life on the high seas (after a short fumble aboard The Tesla, captain John Morgan's ship)
Anushka, the youngest sister who makes jewellery. It's suggested she gave Ezra a top after Ezra left the family... are these siblings still close?

Gladiola's mother, who currently seems to lead the Faraday family

Gladiola Faraday, with Chalcedony a Cù-Sidhe, Lapis a horse, a brooch at her throat as her arcane focus, and the first magical lapidarist in 2 generations, her grandfather being the last one

The human court in Royal Rosaria

For the past century, the human Rosarian royal family has ruled over the Hammerhead Coast (from the southern coasts of the White Sea around Crescent Cove up north to Thalm Sashari in the south... and from the western coasts of the Chelmian Sea (stretching from the Bay of Beasts to Dhara) in the east all the way to Lindenvale and The Basket in the west).

King Aalder, founder of the dynasty who replaced the Elven rulers as part of a larger migratory event and/or population shift
King Aldrich Aalderman died during the Battle of the Bay of Beasts, 50 years ago where Eluviel rose to prominence and when captain John Magpie was a random member of the Rosarian Navy
King Balthazar Aalderman died recently after reigning from his 14^th to his 64^th. A just and fair leader, but phlegmatic and withdrawn in nature, lacking some of the passion and charisma that had characterised his father. Lover of the arts
Crown prince Mordecai Aalderman (39), oldest son and soon to be crowned as new king of Rosaria. A respected swordsman. Known in his youth for his bold and sanguine personality, and for being quite handsome
Princess Lydia Aalderman (34), good natured and popular with the people for her generosity and her frequent public appearances. As patron of the arts (like her father) she encouraged a more personal friendship with Storm
Prince Elwyn Aalderman (28), half of a twin. Cool, distant and a bit snobbish, like his father
Princess Adyne Aalderman (28), half of a twin. A scholar, pious and reserved. Patron of academia
Nathaniel, a wise older cleric of Soliman: king Balthazar’s personal advisor for over 35 years
Varian, Nathaniel’s youngest son, of princess Lydia’s age, sort of aimless in life, might become a paladin like prince Mordecai and his dad Nathaniel, enjoys princess Lydia’s company and appreciates the arts like she does
The small-council of elected representatives

Ifykon the satyr, Fyllion's manny (male nanny) and mentor these past 28 years in their hiding place in the mortal plane, the Blackwoods to the north of Soliman's holy city Lharsam, where Fyllion maintained his own portal between the mortal plane and the Fey Wild

At the Spring Court

Damh: son of Oberon and Titania, lord of revelry and song, patron of satyrs and korreds
Verenestra: daughter of Titania, lady of beauty and charm, patron of dryads and nymphs
Fyllion (Skaravel): son of Oberon, lord of trickery and guile, patron of changelings
Cedar the satyr: Ifykon's brother & currently somehow moved from Dahm's service to Fyllion's service (for art, see session 27)
Daisy † the pixie: currently somehow moved from Verenestra's retinue to Fyllion's service (and killed by Storm in session 29) (for art, see session 27)

The royal House in the Sea of Storms

Hanaïn, King of Storms and his queen, Aqueel's parents
Hanaïn's brother Astarian: an embarrassment to the King of Storms, because he prefers wandering & coming home, rather than venturing into the world to conquer his own kingdom as Marids are wont to do. Possibly during one of his travels, he fathered Hali...?
Aqueel's siblings, both brothers and sisters, are all pretty mean and ambitious. They're a lot older than Aqueel & don't have much contact with him
Aqueel, inadvertently kidnapped by the Wandering Isle & left behind in Koh'Shar
Horace, Aqueel's seahorse

The Reinzinger Finnilash which sent Storm on his züchtungsreise
