Unidentified figures

Figures named or referred to in the sources but not yet given their own page. Promote one to its own file when there is enough material.

Aria’s lover — the stranger for whom she was decrowned: not a Celeste, and of a kind not known to any of her people. Unnamed in the sources so far. See the Schism at Saudient.

The Regency — the match or matches set out for Aria, to keep the royal Celeste line unbroken, which she refused. Whether the Regency is a person, a house, or a body is not yet established.

The scarred man — the taller of the two cloaked strangers on the ferry in session 0: scarred face, long dark hair, a sword, and spellcraft (fireballs, blasts of water, and the final unknown spell that broke the ferry apart). Gone by the waking on Tyre.

The boy with the package — the smaller cloaked stranger on the ferry: a boy by his whisper, clutching a heavy box-shaped package he would not release even while drowning. Washed up on Tyre with the party, package still in his arms. The package is a rickety wooden letter-box of old Tyre coins; on the shore he gave each of the seven a “lucky coin,” each worth perhaps five hundred pieces. His family — mother, father, brothers — is gone since an attack on their farm, and he has begged the seven for protection and passage to Sunton. He was raised on stories of shadow monsters in Tyre’s ruins and is terrified of the place; Niðrerir’s touch on his mind found that terror and nothing more. His name has not been given.

The griffin rider — burst from the clouds above the ferry and fought the blue dragon. Gone by the waking. Expressly not Ewein, the road-warden paladin, though he too is an Aesir on a griffon.

The blue dragon — a large blue dragon that rose from the river beneath the ferry and charged the griffin and rider. Gone by the waking.

The three shadows — humanoid shadows that emerged in Tyre’s streets during the fight with the blink dogs in session 1 and fell upon the dogs. Their allegiance is unknown; the dogs beat them.

The silver-eyed man — identified as Tyleth

A tall man who stopped the party in a Sunton street on the morning after their arrival, in session 3. What catches the eye is exactly that: his eyes are silver — not blue, not grey, not storm-grey. Silver.

He greeted them, said he had heard about them, and asked them to come and find him in the Sunburst before they left the city — if you decide to go back. Then he walked past them and in through the door. He gave no name, and the party has not yet taken him up on it.

The performer who vanished

The musician playing the Sunburst on the night the party arrived: a lute player with thick red-and-blonde curls standing straight out from his head. His cloak was embroidered with stars, clouds, and shapes that moved and swirled independently of the cloth, one scene sliding into another the longer it was watched.

He sang Why the Wolf Cries to the Moon. When the song ended he bowed, went to collect his money, and was immediately gone — no longer anywhere in the room.

The two boys of the rooftops

Two teenage boys seen the next morning playing tag at full speed across Sunton’s rooftops and street-bridges — off a roof, over one cart, under another, up a building by its ledges. They landed ten feet in front of the party; the first ignored Zureth entirely, the second yelled “running!” and then “playing tag!”, and both were gone within seconds.

Whether they are among the local boys who dared Rowen across the bridge is not known.
