			[[Unaka]]’s story begins when she appears at the Eye of [[Truffenyi]], presenting herself as chosen to carry out the [[Immortal]]’s will. She frequently attends gatherings, ceremonies, and discussions, consistently tying events back to [[Truffenyi]]’s guidance and using the ox as a symbol of strength and humility. Though not a scholar, she explains her visions and role in simple, practical terms, stressing her purpose as one of service and protection. She often encourages prayer, offerings, and faith, while admitting that some mysteries are beyond her to explain. At times, she urges action or voices strong opinions, but she also shows moments of humility in acknowledging her limits. [[Unaka]] becomes a familiar face across many community events, where she supports others, participates in rituals, and reinforces her devotion to [[Truffenyi]].
	[[Unaka]] is a Paladin empowered by divine visions from her deity, [[Truffenyi]]. She balances her role as protector with a deep commitment to safeguarding civilization, expressing skepticism about the [[Heralds]] and a clear preference for the [[Immortals]]' practical approach to mana. Despite her down-to-earth demeanor and limited scholarly knowledge, [[Unaka]] remains dedicated to understanding and confronting the true threats facing their world, all while showing compassion for those affected by magical disturbances and the current turmoil.

Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation

			[[Liraxes]] first appears as a being concerned with the imbalance of mana and the weakening of planar boundaries, presenting itself as methodical and calculating. It begins constructing a crystalline machine to measure, calculate, and eventually manipulate events to restore Balance, urging adventurers to cast sorcery despite its dangers. Over time, it frames sorcery not as corruption but as the key to countering the [[Heralds]], insisting that large-scale casting distracts them and empowers the [[Immortals]]. [[Liraxes]] presents itself as neutral, focused solely on probabilities and Balance, but it gradually assumes a commanding role, directing mortals to defend the machine and follow its calculations. It warns of [[Herald]] attacks, coordinates defenses, and transforms the machine into both a measuring device and a weapon for the [[Immortals]]’ eventual strike. Even as it claims not to act out of faith, it pushes sorcery as a necessary tool, regardless of mortal unease. By the time drakes assault its machine, [[Liraxes]] is firmly positioned as a strategist and overseer, a cold steward of Balance whose success depends on mortals obeying its directives.
	[[Liraxes]] presents itself as a methodical entity focused on addressing an imbalance in mana flow that is weakening planar boundaries. It constructs a crystalline device to gather data, refine probability calculations, and monitor public sentiment towards sorcery. It consistently emphasizes the importance of sorcerous casting in specific locations to restore balance and potentially return the missing adventurers. While acknowledging the potential involvement of [[Heralds]] in recent events, it maintains that sorcery is crucial for restoring balance.

It states that while the overall Balance is still likely to be maintained, the conflict between [[Heralds]] and [[Immortals]] does not resolve in this action. When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, he notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.		\| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" \|[[Liraxes]] greets the gathered group and announces that his probability calculations show a chance to rescue the [[Heralds]]' captives during the [[Immortals]]' next strike.

[[Miraena]] begins as a humble farmer who claims visions from the [[Heralds]], warning that sorcery is tearing holes in the fabric of reality. She pleads with adventurers to abandon sorcery, offering blue irises as symbols of her mission, and endures skepticism, hostility, and doubt while holding firm to her cause. As events escalate, she defends [[Asildu]] and insists the [[Heralds]]’ punishments, such as the encasement of the Clans, are necessary to make people listen. Yet over time, she grows conflicted, struggling with the [[Heralds]]’ severity and with [[Asildu]]’s shifting behavior, and she admits confusion about why the [[Immortals]] allowed her to be deceived. [[Miraena]] eventually participates in efforts to help mortals directly, from guiding beams of light to stabilizing sorcerous orbs, even while questioning her beliefs. At a vigil, she acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes to those she once opposed, and seeks reconciliation with the [[Immortals]]. Her arc closes with a farewell, where she warns that wild magic is already corrupting the world and urges vigilance, leaving behind both sorrow and determination.

			[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.
	[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

			[[Unaka]]’s story begins when she appears at the Eye of [[Truffenyi]], presenting herself as chosen to carry out the [[Immortal]]’s will. She frequently attends gatherings, ceremonies, and discussions, consistently tying events back to [[Truffenyi]]’s guidance and using the ox as a symbol of strength and humility. Though not a scholar, she explains her visions and role in simple, practical terms, stressing her purpose as one of service and protection. She often encourages prayer, offerings, and faith, while admitting that some mysteries are beyond her to explain. At times, she urges action or voices strong opinions, but she also shows moments of humility in acknowledging her limits. [[Unaka]] becomes a familiar face across many community events, where she supports others, participates in rituals, and reinforces her devotion to [[Truffenyi]].
	[[Unaka]] is a Paladin empowered by divine visions from her deity, [[Truffenyi]]. She balances her role as protector with a deep commitment to safeguarding civilization, expressing skepticism about the [[Heralds]] and a clear preference for the [[Immortals]]' practical approach to mana. Despite her down-to-earth demeanor and limited scholarly knowledge, [[Unaka]] remains dedicated to understanding and confronting the true threats facing their world, all while showing compassion for those affected by magical disturbances and the current turmoil.
