Chronicles

Those who shaped the Nest, or were shaped by it. The ones history remembers — and the ones it tried to forget. Entries are organized by era. Some figures span more than one age. Nothing here is impartial.

✦ Notorious ✦

Vayutsara of the Golden Spire

She was soft, once. She never forgave herself for what the Game made her.

The Bright Dead-Star

He was never meant to survive, much less to return. He came back anyway.

Candorman, The Last

His hubris was always in the name of love. The gods made certain he would pay for it.

The Age of the Hold ✦ Before the Cataclysm

Emperor Malrik Candorman The Last

Valravn ✦ Candorman's Hold Living

Last emperor of mankind. His war upon the gods unmade his empire and cursed his people with wretched immortality. He still lives — if it can be called living.

King Samiriel Vayutsara of the Golden Spire

Spire Elf ✦ Gamora Living

A monarch by title, subordinate by design. Historians remain divided on the extent to which his personal grievances shaped the Cataclysm.

Theophan Vassal Woundwright Summoner

Valravn ✦ Various Living

He did not invent the rites of summoning. He merely perfected them into a theology. What he truly was is harder to name than the stories allow.

The Cataclysm & Its Wake ✦ The Breaking and After

Melmelas Bright Dead-Star / The Black Flame

Melasani ✦ Khalashar / God's Nest Ascended

Torn from Khalashar, used, discarded, and escaped. He returned by choice. He was killed publicly and deliberately. It did not take.

Purnima, the Seer

Dwa'w ✦ Yanagita Dead

Prophet and founder of Yanagita, the Singing Country. Her soul is trapped in a music box that grows louder with every passing year. No one can hear her screaming.

Talis the Bridge She Who Held the Weight

Dwa'w ✦ Yanagita Dead

Close companion and consort of Purnima. The last of her line, she sacrificed her Hum-Beast to save Purnima's — and built the device that holds Syth still.

Yanagita The First Mother

Dwa'w ✦ The Wastes Dead

Mother of Purnima. Leader of the caravan. Killed in a blizzard so great it shook even the Hum-Beasts. The city that bears her name belongs to her daughter.

The Living World ✦ The Present Age

Queen Anahita-Vayutsara Queen of Gamora

Spire Elf ✦ Gamora Living

She has mourned the Emperor for centuries. She still dream-walks the ruins of his palace. She knows she cannot save him — and rules an empire anyway.

Sythari, Who Remembers The Nomad Who Stays

Dwa'w ✦ Yanagita Living

Separated from her caravan as a kit, hardened by the city's underbelly, and now its reluctant conscience. She knows the city is doomed. She wants everyone to live anyway.

President Zira Elaga The Clockwork Princess

Dwa'w ✦ Yanagita Living

She wants to touch the gods. She is building a space program to try. Whether her inventions are truly her own is the subject of considerable rumor.

Zera, the Clockwork Mater

Android ✦ Yanagita Living

President Zira's clockwork wife, built in her own image. She agrees with everything. Except she keeps humming a tune no one recognizes — and no rebuild has ever fixed it.

Velah Vel / Vellas / Wela

Unknown ✦ Various Living

False Count. Black Flame Witness. Touched by something that devours all names.

The Ascended & Uncertain ✦ Beyond Era

Orsyis Maiden of the Charnel / Seeing-Woman

Deep Elf ✦ The Caverns / The Threshold Ascended

She descended into the cavern alone and did not return — not as she was. Now she arrives at thresholds of death not as judgement, but as accompaniment.
