The Grand Matriarch of Thar-Korr, Keeper of The Silk Throne, The Empress of Shadows
 

Ageless, appearing eternally in her prime. Her presence commands both admiration and fear. She is manipulative, domineering, and deeply insecure beneath her exterior of absolute power.

In pursuit of the Poet, feeding on his fears and insecurities. It senses its prey through the energetic signature of negative thought patterns, tracking souls that spiral into despair.

Once a being who sought freedom but was consumed by an insatiable hunger for power and life force.

Member of the Crimson Fire Sect, The Tongue of Transmutation. 

The sect’s primary oracle and flame-summoner. Molten-red eyes from soul-binding with the Flame of the Hollowed Womb. He leads blood rites beneath the volcanic crypts of Thar-Korr, calling upon the fire spirits said to dwell in the earth’s fury.

A non-binary guide and knowledge keeper, existing between dimensions.  Found in Verdalis, guiding seekers through their own subconscious landscapes.

Represents fluidity in thought, perception, and identity, reminding the protagonists that wisdom transcends gender and linear understanding.

Leading one of the most feared syndicates in the lower territories. He grew up alongside the Poet, bonded in blood, theft, and survival—but while the Poet sought meaning, Sael fed on control. Their history is laced with obsession, betrayal, and a twisted kind of intimacy. His mind walks a fine line between brilliance and brutality.
