Dramatis Personae

Dead Souls
Lorn Larthuz: recently deceased and a new arrival in Tharaxis, she was formerly Aidari, and the thief who stole existence.
Shakti: formerly a witch and healer, she was also a member of the Aidari.
Aiyana Todralan: sister to the infamous Threadfin Todder, she was briefly imperatrix of the Icarthian imperium before her death.
Yaldo: a child-soul who may have been possessed by an angel prior to his death.
Kael: another child-soul and a friend of Yaldo.
Shraeds
Axiom: a sentient shraed in Tharaxis who clings to souls out of a fear of returning to a mindless state.
Manic & Mania: the first and original sentient shraeds, sometimes called the Shadow Twins. These two often get involved in mortal affairs and are known to be highly intelligent and mischievous.
Others
Primordial: an ancient being of unknown type and origin that may be responsible for the creation of souleaters.
The Librarian: a two-headed creature that is also known as the name Enepsigos that once inhabited Tharaxis.
Harken to me, ye filth of light and dark; A Primordial has reawakened, a creature of immense agonies. She hungers for life, and thirsts for death. From beyond the veil, she reemerges, and with strangling vines of hate and spite, She will consume us all.
