Irma Vire

Irma Vire shapes her city through metal, precision, and an unsentimental eye for what holds. A structural metallurgist with a mechanic’s flair, she works in a tall stone workshop alongside apprentices, inventors and half-built ideas. Respected, sometimes feared, she builds quietly, firmly, leaving Gotts Keep stronger than she found it.
Tarran of Bratha

A sceptical yet inventive Morna maker with a sharp mind and steady hands. Practical, outspoken, and tireless in pursuit of sound work and sound reason.
Shelda, the Stoneward

A Vythan of loud laugh and louder certainty. Reads the ground like scripture, jokes with the mountains, and never mistakes silence for stillness.
Jespa Hardle

Brenna’s stall smells of tar and hemp. She plaits and knots while folk talk at her, hands never still. Her ropes aren’t beautiful, but every fisherman on the flats swears by them — they don’t rot as quick, they hold a tie. She has a low laugh that comes out sudden, like a bark, and…
Sibyl Sudley

Her ancestry Sibyl’s mother came down from the Crumble Top plateau, out of a shepherding family whose flocks and wool shaped their lives for generations. She married out of the region, into a household with the name Sudley. Sibyl was born of that match but never knew her mother, who died in childbirth. Her father…
Caelan Reed

Caelan runs the Cup and Reed, a modest trading post sunk into the reedbeds at the edge of the marsh south of Grimbles How. Folk say he can read the fens as others read a book, watching the drift of mist, the curl of water at a bank, the way reeds bend before weather changes.…
Devlin

Devlin, stoneworker of Grimblethorpe, hews boundary markers and troughs with a sure hand. Quiet, steady, sharp-eyed—his work speaks louder than he does, especially when discretion’s needed.
Alda of Farra

Alda of Farra carried the quiet authority of someone who knew what was needed and would see it through. Steady, uncompromising, she worked dyes with the same patience she brought to her family — expecting things done properly, but never without warmth. If her daughter, Stellan’s loyalty and devotion had a root, it was here.…
Ethar of Oskerra

Ethar came from Oskerra, once among those who ferried between the isles, carrying provisions and news from shore to shore. It was work done to the sea’s own rhythm — not loud or storied, but steady as breathing. In time he settled on Farra with Alda, trading the passage between islands for a place at…
Una Bard

Una of Bardney Fens holds fast to fairness and fen memory. Stubborn, sharp-eyed, she lives lean, grows wild things, and won’t bend to Evergild ways.
