With Image Story Cast
Debt-Carry Leech Folk
Creature Debt-Carry Leech Folk A pale, quick parasitic marsh-kin of the blood pits who carries the debt and keeps the shallow rings, the pit's clannish, quick, and most certain edge.
Bone-Read Gnoll
Creature Bone-Read Gnoll A heavy-jawed, dry-brown hyena-packer of the bone-totem savanna who reads the bones and keeps the low totems, the steppe's aggressive, social, and most certain eye.
Sirens
Race Sirens Vocal humanoids of the coasts and deep water. Their song is a weapon, a tool, and the only language they truly speak.
Skeletons
Race Skeletons Animated dead. Mindless thralls or willed revenants — the bones that refuse to rest.
Satyrs
Race Satyrs Goat-legged revelers of the vine-tangled hills. Wine, pan-pipes, and mischief — the party ends when the vine-queen says so.
Wraiths
Race Wraiths Shade-born, hollow-eyed stalkers of the moor. They do not touch, they do not rest, and they consider the moan a promise the moor keeps.
Vinehollow
Location Vinehollow A vine-tangled hill of wine and pan-pipes, its hollows wide enough to hold a party, its vines thick enough to keep a secret.
Whispering Hollow
Location Whispering Hollow An autumn forest of amber light and low, whispering branches, its clearings wide enough to hold a trade.
Umbral Hollow
Location Umbral Hollow A deep sunless sinkhole lit by pale fungus growing in slow rings, its floor a soft dark known by heart.
Tuskridge Barrens
Location Tuskridge Barrens A ridge of bare stone and red dust, its surface scored by tusk-marks and its tunnels deep enough to hide a hold.
Vulkanis, the Volcanic City
Location Vulkanis, the Volcanic City A city carved into the heart of a dead volcano, its deep tunnels lit by magical fires that give an eerie, ever-shifting glow.
Sylvane, the Gilded Mask
Deity Sylvane, the Gilded Mask God of illusion, dreams, and deception. Everyone wears a face that is not theirs; Sylvane wears none, and no one can look at it.
Urka, the Stone Mother
Deity Urka, the Stone Mother God of stone, forge, and craft. She hammers herself into shape; the metal rings, and the law of metal changes.
The Nameless God
Deity The Nameless God The nameless deity worshipped by Remedy. No name, no image, no doctrine. It simply was.
Vessurax, the Veiled Eye
Deity Vessurax, the Veiled Eye God of shadow and secrets. No one has seen its face — only the absence where it should be.
Wolf Men
Race Wolf Men Furred forest-kin of the conifers who live in hollow-oak dens and keep the pack as a promise, not a family.
Venom Goblins
Race Venom Goblins Fanged, gill-rimmed marsh goblins who distill the poison of their fen and judge everything, including you, by scent.
Vampires
Race Vampires Pale, fanged night-lords of the crypt. They do not age, they do not die, and they consider the ledger of blood a promise the crypt keeps.
Minotaurs
Race Minotaurs Horned, labyrinthine humanoids who think in corridors — the maze is sacred, and the Wardens' memory is the only authority that matters.
Observers
Race Observers Eyes in the dark. Faceless, robed, and endlessly patient — they record everything, and they consider the record a promise the dark keeps.
Divine-Awareness Angel
Creature Divine-Awareness Angel The tall, narrow, slightly-too-clean line of the highest plane, with a pair of true wings folded at the back in a soft ivory to pale gold range and a pair of large, clear pale gold eyes. Its awareness reaches across the vigil, and the reaching is not a choice.
Vessa the Unheard
Character Vessa the Unheard Human god-servant and divine messenger. A whisper in every court, a letter that arrives before the thought that sent it.
Zahlia
Character Zahlia The great enchantress — a dark elf of Remedy and The Forgotten, banished to the unknown universe with Uaellaen.
Wreckreate
Character Wreckreate Erudite wizard, member of Remedy and The Forgotten, could mana-burn lesser dragons in a single shot. Banished to the unknown universe with Uaellaen.
