 ==== Algaroth ====
-=== Armelia Callis, Captain of the Grand Warlock's Guard ===

-**Bio:**\\
-The stoic enforcer of the Grand Warlock. Known for her loyalty and cruelty, and for her devotion to the cause of the Dread Axioms.
-=== Gorwen ===
-**Name:** Gorwen\\
-**Player:** Tom M\\
-**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
-**Bio:**\\
-An apprentice of low stock, Gorwen was raised to the lowest echelons of magical study by his far, far superiors. All the boy wants is to become more knowledgeable, and by extension more powerful. Only then will he truly prove himself.
 === Queen Leona Ash ===

+**Bio:**
 "How nice of you to rejoin us. Did you know that with this preservative art, I can keep you alive indefinitely? What once was used for salvation is now turned toward other ends. I shall ask you again: Where are the rebels?"
@@ Line 38: / Line 20: @@
 Previously rumoured to have served as an unremarkable priestess of the God of Albion within the kingdom of Fairwynn, Leona's fortuitously-timed conversion to the Dread Axioms and alignment with the cause of Grand Warlock Skarn saw her placed into an unprecedented position of power as First Apostle of the newly reforged Dark Templar order.
-=== Fell Witch Ysaura, Sorceress of Sorrow ===
-**Name:** Fell Witch Ysaura, Sorceress of Sorrow\\
+----
-**Player:** Gwen T\\
-**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
-**Bio:**\\
-Four years ago, a dark storm raged over the capital of Algaroth. None dared to leave the confines of their homes - even the Dread Court stayed locked away in the safe stone walls of the castle they had wrested into their control.
-They barely heard the knocking on the gates at first. It must have been wind, or branches, or rocks. When the gateguards finally decided it was worth investigating the sound, the girl they found on other side of the door barely had strength to raise her hand again. Wrapped in a thin, torn cloak, her tatty boots stained with the blood of her blisters, she was a sorry sight to put before the Grand Warlock, but despite her weakness she still stood tall before him, met his eyes and told her tale: she was a sorceress from a kingdom to the East, whose magic had urged her to travel to Algaroth and offer her power to Skarn's rule. The Court laughed at first, for how could such a wretch be of use to their cruel king?
-A moment later, at a gesture from her cold, dirt-streaked hand, half of the court guard fell to the floor, their screams of agony filling the room. The hideous melody lasted until her hand fell again, her eyes never leaving Skarn's, proud and determined, sure of her power and her new place in his court.
-The next day, washed, warmed and restored to the cold beauty that had been concealed by her hard journey, Ysaura took her place at his side.
-And when Leona returned from Camelot with the blood of the warlock and archon on her sword, Ysaura stood with her. Algaroth is her salvation. She is devoted, loyal, and faultlessly faithful to her new kingdom and its Axioms, whoever sits on its throne.

 Iobar Doitean is a wandering collector of stories and lore. He arrived in Arkenholm shortly before the uprising and has since  adopted the Kingdom as his homeland, citing his desire to see history in the making as his reason for doing so.

-**Name:** Lady Mairead Damaran\\
+==== Auralia ====
-**Player:** Rosie D\\
-**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
-**Bio:**\\
+=== Caius Vordt ===
-Lady Mairead Damaran, is lady-in-waiting to the realm’s leader Ceindeg the Bright. She is the only daughter of Lord Erevan Damaran who was a second cousin to the realm’s previous Monarch Lloyd the Lustrous (now called Lloyd the Dull).  Her family switched allegiance just before the uprising and their support helped Ceindeg’s bid for the throne. House Damaran have managed to stay in favour at court despite being related to Lloyd the Dull, but there are whispers in court that they are not as loyal to the new monarch as they claim to be. Lady Mairead shows great loyalty to Ceindeg and is very grateful to have been appointed as her lady-in-waiting; it is the perfect opportunity for her to prove to everyone that her family is loyal to the realm.
-=== Talaith Silversmyth ===
+**Name: Caius Vordt**\\
+**Player: Connor F**\\
-**Name:** Talaith Silversmyth\\
+**IC Pronouns: They/Them**\\

 **Bio:**\\
-Talaith Silversmyth was previously in the service of the corrupt King Lloyd the Dull, yet, despite the regime change, somehow managed to retain her status and position at court. Talaith also has influence in court, and aided her childhood friend the Lady Mairead Damaran in seeing her appointed as lady in waiting to Ceindeg the Bright. Talaith seeks only for the prosperity of Arkenholm and to restore it to its former glory. She is a loyal follower of Ceindeg who she believes can achieve this goal.
+Caius is a very strange mortal, changing appearance day by day they are a Gravekeeper of Auralia, tending to the fallen and digging honoured and hallowed resting places for its citizens. They are loving, kind and courteous. Being around death so long and so often leaves much to be desired of Caius' humor and tact.
+Caius has currently been drawn more into the forefront of activities due to him growing tired of the cemeteries, and wishes to put his occult healing magic to better use.

-==== Barrowfell ====
-=== Aeduin ===
+=== Ninette ===
-**Name:** Aeduin\\
+**Name:** Ninette\\
-**Player:** Alexander E-T\\
+**Player:** Laura L\\
-**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
 **Bio:**\\
-Aeduin grew up in a village near Shadow Wood where frequent bandits attacks and the demands of the Witch meant that his childhood was tough. He is Mildreth's servant.
+Ninette worked hard for the role of general, training from an early age with swords and stout sticks. Gaining the favour of Queen of the realm, she fought off competition. Not only skilled in fighting, but with growing diplomacy, Ninette has learned that sometimes, diplomacy means not saying what you think of people immediately and unfiltered.
-=== Lord Crow ===
+=== Tawnlee Cavanagh ===
-**Name:** Lord Crow\\
+**Name:** Tawnlee Cavanagh\\
-**Player:** Elynor K\\
+**Player:** Jon Ea\\
 **IC Pronouns:** He/Him
 **Bio:**\\
-The ruler of the Realm of Barrowfell has always held the title of Lord Crow. Passed on from generation to generation through nomination of those who might uphold the legacy of this proud title, the Lord Crow of Barrowfell once struck fear into the hearts of the most fearless of bandits, and a loyalty stronger than steel from their followers. Each generation had a new legend to tell, greater than the one before.
-And though the legends are still told, they are old and faded. Since the rise of Camelot, the Lord Crow became a figurehead; a tool to pacify, not to rule. Getting back to the legends of old after the Fall returned power to Barrowfell has proven difficult. This is the third year since this Lord Crow was given the title, after the previous one - his brother - fell victim to golden fever. Though he has ruled well enough to calm some of the chaos after the Fall, and with enough assertion not to be accused of weakness, people still whisper that it invites poor luck to be near him for too long, that perhaps he is cursed. For, though he is still a young man he has already lost his brother to fever, and two wives; the first going missing almost three years ago, the second passing from natural causes last year. Barrovians are a superstitious lot and so the Lord Crow is approached with hesitation.
+The Court of Auralia is an often volatile place, appeasing the whims of the Queen. Sometimes a steady hand and a careful chosen dialogue is needed to keep passions calm. Tawnlee, born to House Canavagh, is now a tenured diplomat in the Court of the Rose. One doesn't establish a career in wordsmithing with carefully towing the line between persuasion and insult.
-Though he often secludes himself in the great fortress of Mount Knoll, rumour has it the Lord Crow is reaching out to make alliances with the less superstitious in order to help stabilise Barrowfell. His journey to Camelot is likely to be no exception.

 ==== Cedunon ====
-=== Brother Cairrfhion of Ceart Beith, Druid of Lily ===
-**Name:** Brother Cairrfhion of Ceart Beith, Druid of Lily\\
-**Player:** Duncan M\\
-**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
-**Bio:**\\
-Cairrfhion, coming from an unassuming town near the roads to Grandfather Oak, joined the clergy of Druids from a young age to tend to the flowers of the tree and the hearts of the Cedunon nation. After his ten years of essential education among wisened teachers beneath the branches of Grandfather Oak, learning the many theological and practical artforms of the Cedunon Druid, he left the tending of Darach Mor and held a mantle instead of a Ley-Druid of Lilies; he wandered from town to town, healing the infirm and educating the farmhands, becoming more known in taverns and inns he stayed in than the court of Cedunon.
-When a call to protect the roads or hunt is summoned, Cairrfhion historically drops all things and joins the Knights of the realm in earnest as a firm believer in a cycle of life and death, that must be nourished and protected if the farms are to thrive. He has since begun returning to Ceart Beith regularly, working on the village of ‘An Truthail’ there for which he has been named warden of, yet not even the village has stopped him wandering the realm and sometimes beyond.
 === Sire Drystan of Ceart Beith, Knight of the White Tulip ===
@@ Line 180: / Line 137: @@
 **Bio:**\\
 Sire Drystan was raised by the druids near Ceart Beith and learned to fight under the tutelage of one the more belligerent magicians of the forest. He now spends his time defending travellers coming and going across Cedunon. He took the White Tulip as his flower, representing Forgiveness, Remembrance, Worthiness and Sincerity, as a contrast to his normal carefree and easy going nature. He lays these flowers at the places where travellers were not fortunate enough to have had the protection of a Knight of Cedunon and tends the roadside shrines that remember the sacrifices of knights of ages past.
-=== Queen Endellion of Darach Mor, Knight of Holly ===
-**Name:** Queen Endellion of Darach Mor, Knight of Holly\\
-**Player:** Naomi L\\
-**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
-**Bio:**\\
-Devout and idealistic, the future queen Endellion began as the keeper of a humble shrine, providing aid and sanctuary to questing knights and weary travellers alike.
-She was moved to leave her vigil by the coming of a gravely wounded knight, who asked her to take news of their quest back to Darach Mor. Once her task was completed she remained in the stronghold, and was eventually taken on as squire by the same knight she had tended.
-The promise of knighthood, however, was not enough for Endellion. Determined to prove her worth further, she travelled deep into the heart of the forest, to the grove of Grandfather Oak himself, there to hold herself in vigil and contemplation for a year and a day, searching for insight and a way to further better her kingdom.
-At the end of her vigil she was granted a blessing from the great oak; an acorn which she could present as proof of her right to rule. Upon her ascension she took the title of Knight of Holly - the evergreen twin to the oak tree.

+=== Gulnar ===
+**Name:** Gulnar\\
+**Player:** Chris Ph\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**Bio:**\\
+Druidic Magic has a long history in Cerrid, and Gulnar is the scion of a long line of Druids from the backwater and somewhat insular region of Stolaston.
+His line has long protected the people of this region with their magics. Gulnar himself is a spirit talker, drawing power from pacts made with the thousand and one small gods that dwell in the forests and village shrines.
+For many years the druid has lived quietly, but with the call from Camelot, he has pledged himself to greater service to the Morrigan and the realm.
 === Merrid Dain ===
@@ Line 281: / Line 240: @@
 **Bio:**\\
 Even more than most Cerridians, Merrid has always been fascinated by the night sky. The dance of stars and constellations across the heavens weaves an intricate pattern that he has learned to trace as surely as his fellow rangers trace a deer or fox. Trained at Cerrid’s Grand Observatory, a tall tower of stone and glass that serves as the kingdom’s repository of knowledge both magical and astronomical as well as a landmark upon which to align stone circles and other astronomic markers, he accompanies their delegation to Camelot both as a magical expert and adviser, and as one who will bring back to his realm the new knowledge and new mysteries to be found within its walls.
+=== Sylla, the Undying ===
+**Name:** Sylla, the Undying\\
+**Player:** Ronny J\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him/They/Them
+**Bio:**\\
+If you listen to old Sylla, you'd hear plenty of tales of times long gone by - when the first stars blinked into gentle life, what the world was like before the days of Albion, how the standards for what counts as a great hero have slipped. Some of them might even be true. But Sylla maintains they were there for it all - that's the blessing and the curse of being made immortal.
+How did it happen? Nobody knows (at least, nobody who's alive today knows) and Sylla themselves claims not to remember. All anybody can say is that death has never come for the old bear. Maybe it's just waiting for the right moment - the right hero - to come along and put them down for good.

Despite his apparent despotic appointment he is very popular amongst his people. Approval ratings gathered in the yearly census have scored regular 100% satisfaction several years in a row. In his brash and excitable youth Robert was often seen spearheading the mighty Legion armies’ grand offensives. These days it is said he prefers subtlety; rumours suggest he has been training half the realm in specialised covert tactics. Robert often does his duty in receiving visiting dignitaries in the Eternal bastion. He does so gracefully and with delicate tact for the most part, it is unfortunate that he is somewhat forgetful, always having to rudely leave the room to fetch some misplaced item. Robert and Griselda do not have any publicly recognised children, though a significant amount of Legionnaires bear a very strong resemblance to Robert himself.

Which was not much, the people of Ainghyll fought against this new, dark regime, and were brutally crushed by the Dread Archon, the village was razed, and it's people killed or scattered to the wind, it's Monarchs executed publically. One survivor was allowed to keep the name of his former village, Eirik Hafdirsson.
+With the fall of the Grand Warlock, he has remained in Algaroth to aid Leona Ash and Armelia rebuild the shattered country, which they had thought lost up until the last truth from the mirror. He will not leave another country to fall to ruin.

He established the realm, unifying the region under his banner, with clever use of words, gold and his personal guard.
+He was a good ruler, and so was his son, who succeeded him.
+His grandson, however, was an avaricious and selfish man, with no talent for ruling. He cared not for the well-being of his people, nor for anything that did not enrich the royal coffers.
+It was, for many, a relief when he died, officially due to a coup d'etat where nobles of his court tried to overthrow him. A band of mercenaries in his service tried to intervene, but the king and many of the court died. They did, however, manage to save the two Princesses. The eldest Glamorgan daughter, Niniveh, is now Queen. She is smart, ambitious and ruthless in the pursue of her realm's safety and prosperity.

+===Raine Silvervale===
+**Name:** Raine Silvervale\\
+**Player:** Kay S\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Daughter of a farmer, Raine grew up in a simple country lifestyle. She never knew her mother, who her had died before she was born. Raine was a restless child, rarely content with the slow pace of farm life and often getting into, scrapes in her quest for adventure. She liked to go down into the local village in the evenings, persuading passing travellers to tell her stories. She bought a sword and spent hours practicing the moves she'd seen in the few tourneys she'd managed to sneak away to and, over time, gained some measure of proficiency. Eventually she joined a mercenary band hoping to fulfil her dreams of glory and to prove herself more than just a farmer’s daughter. She travelled with the group for several months, moving from job to job before they were recruited to the service of the King of Sera. During an uprising of his court they defended the royal family but, hugely outnumbered, only managed to save the two princesses. Raine remains, along with the rest of her group, in the service of Niniveh who is now the Queen.

+**Name:** Fell Witch Ysaura, Sorceress of Sorrow\\
+**Player:** Gwen T\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Four years ago, a dark storm raged over the capital of Algaroth. None dared to leave the confines of their homes - even the Dread Court stayed locked away in the safe stone walls of the castle they had wrested into their control.
+They barely heard the knocking on the gates at first. It must have been wind, or branches, or rocks. When the gateguards finally decided it was worth investigating the sound, the girl they found on other side of the door barely had strength to raise her hand again. Wrapped in a thin, torn cloak, her tatty boots stained with the blood of her blisters, she was a sorry sight to put before the Grand Warlock, but despite her weakness she still stood tall before him, met his eyes and told her tale: she was a sorceress from a kingdom to the East, whose magic had urged her to travel to Algaroth and offer her power to Skarn's rule. The Court laughed at first, for how could such a wretch be of use to their cruel king?
+A moment later, at a gesture from her cold, dirt-streaked hand, half of the court guard fell to the floor, their screams of agony filling the room. The hideous melody lasted until her hand fell again, her eyes never leaving Skarn's, proud and determined, sure of her power and her new place in his court.
+The next day, washed, warmed and restored to the cold beauty that had been concealed by her hard journey, Ysaura took her place at his side.
+And when Leona returned from Camelot with the blood of the warlock and archon on her sword, Ysaura stood with her. Algaroth is her salvation. She is devoted, loyal, and faultlessly faithful to her new kingdom and its Axioms, whoever sits on its throne.

She is the only daughter of Lord Erevan Damaran who was a second cousin to the realm’s previous Monarch Lloyd the Lustrous (now called Lloyd the Dull).  Her family switched allegiance just before the uprising and their support helped Ceindeg’s bid for the throne. House Damaran have managed to stay in favour at court despite being related to Lloyd the Dull, but there are whispers in court that they are not as loyal to the new monarch as they claim to be. Lady Mairead shows great loyalty to Ceindeg and is very grateful to have been appointed as her lady-in-waiting; it is the perfect opportunity for her to prove to everyone that her family is loyal to the realm.

Talaith seeks only for the prosperity of Arkenholm and to restore it to its former glory. She is a loyal follower of Ceindeg who she believes can achieve this goal.

+==== Barrowfell ====
+=== Lord Crow ===
+**Name:** Lord Crow\\
+**Player:** Elynor K\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**Bio:**\\
+The ruler of the Realm of Barrowfell has always held the title of Lord Crow. Passed on from generation to generation through nomination of those who might uphold the legacy of this proud title, the Lord Crow of Barrowfell once struck fear into the hearts of the most fearless of bandits, and a loyalty stronger than steel from their followers. Each generation had a new legend to tell, greater than the one before.
+And though the legends are still told, they are old and faded. Since the rise of Camelot, the Lord Crow became a figurehead; a tool to pacify, not to rule. Getting back to the legends of old after the Fall returned power to Barrowfell has proven difficult. This is the third year since this Lord Crow was given the title, after the previous one - his brother - fell victim to golden fever. Though he has ruled well enough to calm some of the chaos after the Fall, and with enough assertion not to be accused of weakness, people still whisper that it invites poor luck to be near him for too long, that perhaps he is cursed. For, though he is still a young man he has already lost his brother to fever, and two wives; the first going missing almost three years ago, the second passing from natural causes last year. Barrovians are a superstitious lot and so the Lord Crow is approached with hesitation.
+Though he often secludes himself in the great fortress of Mount Knoll, rumour has it the Lord Crow is reaching out to make alliances with the less superstitious in order to help stabilise Barrowfell. His journey to Camelot is likely to be no exception.

+==== Cedunon ====
+=== Queen Endellion of Darach Mor, Knight of Holly ===
+**Name:** Queen Endellion of Darach Mor, Knight of Holly\\
+**Player:** Naomi L\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Devout and idealistic, the future queen Endellion began as the keeper of a humble shrine, providing aid and sanctuary to questing knights and weary travellers alike.
+She was moved to leave her vigil by the coming of a gravely wounded knight, who asked her to take news of their quest back to Darach Mor. Once her task was completed she remained in the stronghold, and was eventually taken on as squire by the same knight she had tended.
+The promise of knighthood, however, was not enough for Endellion. Determined to prove her worth further, she travelled deep into the heart of the forest, to the grove of Grandfather Oak himself, there to hold herself in vigil and contemplation for a year and a day, searching for insight and a way to further better her kingdom.
+At the end of her vigil she was granted a blessing from the great oak; an acorn which she could present as proof of her right to rule. Upon her ascension she took the title of Knight of Holly - the evergreen twin to the oak tree.
+=== Brother Cairrfhion of Ceart Beith, Druid of Lily ===
+**Name:** Brother Cairrfhion of Ceart Beith, Druid of Lily\\
+**Player:** Duncan M\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**Bio:**\\
+Cairrfhion, coming from an unassuming town near the roads to Grandfather Oak, joined the clergy of Druids from a young age to tend to the flowers of the tree and the hearts of the Cedunon nation. After his ten years of essential education among wisened teachers beneath the branches of Grandfather Oak, learning the many theological and practical artforms of the Cedunon Druid, he left the tending of Darach Mor and held a mantle instead of a Ley-Druid of Lilies; he wandered from town to town, healing the infirm and educating the farmhands, becoming more known in taverns and inns he stayed in than the court of Cedunon.
+When a call to protect the roads or hunt is summoned, Cairrfhion historically drops all things and joins the Knights of the realm in earnest as a firm believer in a cycle of life and death, that must be nourished and protected if the farms are to thrive. He has since begun returning to Ceart Beith regularly, working on the village of ‘An Truthail’ there for which he has been named warden of, yet not even the village has stopped him wandering the realm and sometimes beyond.

In his brash and excitable youth Robert was often seen spearheading the mighty Legion armies’ grand offensives. These days it is said he prefers subtlety; rumours suggest he has been training half the realm in specialised covert tactics. Robert often does his duty in receiving visiting dignitaries in the Eternal bastion. He does so gracefully and with delicate tact for the most part, it is unfortunate that he is somewhat forgetful, always having to rudely leave the room to fetch some misplaced item. Robert and Griselda do not have any publicly recognised children, though a significant amount of Legionnaires bear a very strong resemblance to Robert himself.
