The last survivor of a slaughtered family simply living their lives, Slaine is on a quest for revenge - and seeks to ensure that what happened to her doesn't happen to anyone else. Despite her abrasiveness and general attitude, she's a favored "student" of the Eldritch hunter Nodens, the Old One she struck a partnership with in order to attain the power necessary to hunt down those that would rip families apart like hers. In exchange, she helps him hunt down worthy prey - intelligent, dangerous beings, darkly aligned. The fact they pose a threat to humans is only secondary, to him, but primary to his human hunter.

Born to an Izanagi mother and a Nezerin father that he's never known, Kiao has always been an outcast. His village elders saw him a product of a baleful union, a reminder of everything that the Nezerin Empire put their nation through - war, conquering, the death of their gods, the theft of a prized Izanagi noble who became the Nezerin empress. He kept his head down, helped his village with the farming, the hunting, childcare - because anything else brought undue attention and stress to his mother, his stepfather, his siblings.But the elders did see him as a viable sacrifice to those long dead gods, with his mixed blood and his otherness. He would usher in the Dragon of the Heavens, the greatest of the old gods, by being a sacrifice to the oncoming storm. Except they all lost their lives, when the sacrifice worked.Fearing the power that was awakened in him, knowing so little of magic and uncertain he could control it, he fled Izanagi to seek answers to the west. It just turns out that his role in the fate of the world was far more than he ever anticipated, and those powers lay dormant with truths that were long locked away. A famed father he doesn't remember but apparently should, the reality that everything happened for a reason, that the powers were there already and simply unlocked. Too many questions. The answer?Find the bard.

The memories of home are few and far between, but Olyn remembers the gentle depths of the Echo Sanctuary, the monastery that generations of her family has been involved in. But her high energy, curiosity, and impatience did not lend well to the monastic traditions of lawful order that her family encouraged. (It didn't help that she wasn't the brightest of mind, rather relying on a pure heart and emotional instinct.) So, at 16, when she was sent away to an onclave for special training...She ran away, to prove herself - and the only thing she got from it was being captured by slavers. Triton are already uncommon enough to see above water, but one of her coloration was especially rare. She'd make a prized pet for any noble willing to pay the price.So for 40 years, she's lived on Rosewater Island in captivity. It's only been in recent years, under the ownership of the new queen - a princess she saw be brought into the world and growing in it - that she's only gotten the job to look pretty and dance, instead of her use as the prior king's pet. But with the arrival of a privateer tasked with the job of retrieving a lost ship for the queen, she has the chance to escape.If only she could remember where home was.

An abandoned child found in the woods by two witches, Nour knows little of their past and cares even less about what it might have been. Raised a hedgewitch, they found their connection with the veil between life and death early on. This led to them being something of a harvester, ensuring that the natural order of life and death remained just that - ordered.
