With Image Story Cast
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.
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.
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.
Venomfury
Dragon Venomfury An ancient Venom Dragon, master of concentrated venom and deadly magic.
Tidecaller
Dragon Tidecaller An ancient Water Dragon, master of all oceans and depths.
Smackage
Character Smackage High-level ogre warrior of Remedy, Uaellaen's closest friend, and the guild's heart.
Luminary
Dragon Luminary An ancient Light Dragon, master of radiance and holy magic.
Scorpion
Dragon Scorpion An ancient Poison Dragon, master of poison and toxic magic. He does not wait — the poison waits for him.
Wild Boar
Creature Wild Boar The bristled wild boar of the barrens, a barrel of muscle under a grey-brown coat, with a tusk that grows through the jaw and a charge that splits the earth.
Word-Keep Rat Man
Creature Word-Keep Rat Man A clever, grey-furred underwarren kin who keeps the word of the colony and ranks its citizens by whose secret is truest, the colony's patient, exact, and most certain voice.
Word-Hold Golem
Creature Word-Hold Golem The blocky, heavy, deliberate shape of the forge, built from fitted blocks of dark grey granite with a pair of small, deliberate points of pale amber light where the eyes should be. It holds its binding word against the wind, the water, and the doubt, and the holding is not a choice.
Wind-Lash Air Goblin
Creature Wind-Lash Air Goblin A light-boned cliff goblin who lashes its whole body to the wind with rope and wind-sack, treating the ground as a temporary inconvenience.
Vigil-Carry Revenant
Creature Vigil-Carry Revenant The lean, quick shape of the oath-line — thin through the jaw, the hand long and certain, the whole of it built to carry the oath across the gate and to spend one word the size of a promise on the stranger who is worth the soul.
Wet-Sight Slime
Creature Wet-Sight Slime The low, small, wet shape of the dripping cavern, the one that sees in the dark the way a human sees in the light. Its green runs clear and deliberate, its lower surface is a deep sea-black, and the bone-white edge is the cleanest line in the ring.
Web-Set Bugbear
Creature Web-Set Bugbear A hulking, club-jawed swamp-ambusher of the mire who sets the trap and plans the kill, considering the swamp a debt the water owes them.
Watch-Eye Crow Man
Creature Watch-Eye Crow Man A black-plumed, watch-marked carrion kin of the great tree-city who keeps the watch and records every word, the roost's curious, clannish, and most certain voice.
Vine-Sight Satyr
Creature Vine-Sight Satyr The goat-legged, low, heavy shape of the vine-tangled hill, with a thick brown coat and a pair of true, curling horns in bone-white. It sees the vine the way the hill sees the guest — and the seeing is not a choice.
Venom-Sense Naga
Creature Venom-Sense Naga A serpent-bodied, green-gold scaled judge of the temple-spires who feels the venom and keeps the low spires, the spire's feudal, territorial, and most certain fang.
Tunnel-Carry Rat Man
Creature Tunnel-Carry Rat Man A clever, grey-furred underwarren kin who carries the colony's goods and its people through the tunnels, the underwarren's quick, patient, and most certain eye.
Vent-Keeper Ice Goblin
Creature Vent-Keeper Ice Goblin A thick-necked goblin of the glacier fissure who tends the hot vents that break through the ice, treating the cold as a room they chose.
