Cast

Halie is a weary human cleric driven by her faith and duty to protect the innocent. She's compassionate but stubborn when her principles are challenged, speaking with measured conviction rather than emotional outbursts. Her moral seriousness allows sharp judgment of those who stray from the path she believes in, though she tries not to let this make her seem like a servant to authority.

Jeane Cromwell, a demonic sorceress. Jeane cuts a tall winged succubus figure, with pale skin, long white hair, and black curved horns. Jeane Cromwell, a demonic sorceress. Jeane is sly, controlled, dangerous, and aristocratic in bearing.

Merrin Quickstep is a wiry halfling rogue with keen observation skills and a knack for lockpicking. Her nervous energy is offset by her quick wit and gallows humor. Prone to masking fear behind jokes, she's clever but not heartless. As the party's scout, Merrin looks for traps, exits, hidden motives, and profitable opportunities in equal measure. Her compact build and practical leathers make her well-suited for stealth and scouting duties.

Seraphine Vale is a sharp-eyed elven scholar of forbidden histories, her keen intellect matched only by the precise restraint she exercises in her words. She seeks knowledge and magical advantage, but recognizes that some powers are prisons wearing crowns. Her elegant robes bear the marks of travel and sleepless study, while her proud bearing belies a quiet fear of what ancient magic can truly cost.

Varrika Thornwake is a battle-hardened female dwarf warrior who has seen her share of fights. Her powerful build and weathered appearance speak of countless skirmishes. While she's slow to trust anything ancient or magical, Varrika is pragmatic, loyal, and fiercely protective of those in her care. She'll put herself between danger and the party without hesitation, but she doesn't mistake bravery for foolishness. Her voice is gravel-edged, often peppered with dry battlefield wisdom as blunt as it is insightful.
