General Plot Stuff

Moon - the slumbering stone-ified body of the deity Agora. Agora ruled over the Old World and was its protector. As an attempt to seal Chiron (the World) from the influences of extraplanar deities & other forces, Agora had turned her body into its slumbering form, her conciousness creating a barrier for herself and the planet. Her heart is the (molten) core of Chiron.

The only way to awake Agora is by visiting her temples and placing (Macguffins of some sort) onto the pedestals so they become bathed in moonlight.

As Agora is of the Old World, the only accolytes (or people who even know who she is) she has are from the Order of Immortality.

Old World / Old Age - Chiron’s “prehistoric” days, essentially. Old World is lost to most people nowadays, due to Agora’s stoneification (fearing there would be those who would break her protection) obliterating the knowledge of her or others. 

The only people who remember the Old World are descendants of the Order of Immortality, and the only way to understand or gain knowledge of the Old World is to find one of Agora’s ancient temples, all of which were eaten by the earth.

Order of Immortality - An order of seven heroic figures of the Old World who dedicated their lives to the pursuit of living forever. This was somewhat achieved with the creation of the Amulet of Life, crafted in Agora’s heart. Being saviors of her land, before her slumber Agora also granted them immortal memory & knowledge since she could not grant immortality itself. (This is partially a lie, for in secret she also feared it would make them too close to gods.)

The immortal knowledge passed to the descendants of the Order. This gave them knowledge of both the Old World and of the artifacts crafted by the Order in their pursuit of Immortality.

I’m actually really sad Merrill & Joycie Foxglove never got to meet in canon because I’ve always imagined one of their Important Interactions would be like this maybe:

“Et voila! Take a look!” Joycie exclaimed, clapping excitedly. Merrill had been frozen like a statue this whole time, letting Joycie hem and tailor her dress. She felt if she moved a muscle that this entire day might’ve been a dream, and the illusion would break. 

She could scarcely believe today had happened- Joycie had taken Merrill out shopping, buying up anything Merrill indicated she wanted, even at the barest of mentions. It confused her and terrified her a little. This excitable rich woman barely knew her, but was so determined to be Merrill’s friend after saving her life. Joycie never once came off as disingenuous, however. Everything was done with a warm smile and a loving heart.

“I look... I look...” Merrill couldn’t search for the right word as she turned to look into the mirror. Different emotions swallowed her at the same time. Part of her didn’t feel like she belonged in such a dress- vibrant golden satin, folded into rose patterns from her waist which then pooled into loose waves as it came to the floor.. Pearls outlined the dress’ bodice, forming an simple but elegant design. She liked how she looked but... this was nothing like what Mother Supreme would have ever allowed, and-

“Beautiful, sweetie. You look beautiful.” Joycie took Merrill’s hand and clasped it in between her own. Merrill took a shaky breath, nodding wordlessly. She felt tears start beading at the corners of her eyes and looked at Joycie. Immediately, the woman picked up on it and brought the gnoll into a tight hug.

in my game for basically no reason, i made a fun change to Elvish where it incorporated in certain, delicious flavor sounds. zesty, savoury, and speculatively fake italian. i’m talking about Pizza Brand TM names. 

my favorite elf npc in particular, and the aforementioned unusable asset, is Digiornos. here’s some quick facts about Digiornos the High Elf:

Digiornos, in Elvish, means Deliverer of Truth

he was a traveling merchant and would always handily be around for the group to dump their loot onto him; he was definitely following them

he had in his possession, a macguffin for the Big Plot!

he was a hireable NPC for the game- he was a level 10 Sorcerer

because i didn’t draw any NPCs for the game, i’ve based all of his looks off of DIO from Phantom Blood
