The second section is Thralls, which I need your help with since you wrote Majesty. I linked to Khyan's sheet but he's now a Spirit of Vengeance, so any input and what Finn could draw from him would be helpful. You came up with Lystreia, so if you wanna have any input in her backstory/skills, let me know. I input what skills you told me were Arkænyn's, but again, feel free to offer input.
I have written some communication between Finn and Khyan, but kept it vague. I will probably tag you if I do anything major with Khyan or Arkænyn, anyway. Oh, and can Finn tap Arkænyn to bolster his weapons mastery?
Feel free to give feedback here or on Discord, as you like.
Thanks!

Fionna
️ "Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time."
Name: Fionna
Location: A village outside Arx Rubrum Petram
️ Biography: A simple blacksmith from a village on Lake Udori, she and her family have since moved to Solunarium to be near her eldest child: Finn Viator. Finding the bustle of the capital overwhelming, she and her husband moved nearer to the citadel where Finn's work happens. There, she dabbles in the finer versions of her craft: silver, gold, platinum. There, she tries to give young Syrena a semblance of a normal childhood despite her overseers.
Mabon
️ "It's never as bad as it seems. You're much stronger than you think you are. Trust me."
Name: Mabon
Location: A village outside Arx Rubrum Petram
️ Biography: Mabon married the love of his life, kept their home, and raised their children. He feels as though he did fairly well for being the son of the town witch, Modron. Pleased that his family can live without undue hardship in a land where even the villages are protected from the dangers of the world, he is enjoying retirement and grandchildren (one of his own blood, and one a strange elven child under the protection of the Custodes Deorum.
Finn
"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."
Morgaine
️ "You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say."
Name: Morgaine
Location: A village outside Arx Rubrum Petram
️ Biography: They had more to lose in moving, at least by their own estimation: a husband set to inherit the family forge unless Ciarán became more responsible, a child, and another on the way. They are now eking out a quiet life with husband, Urien, and children.
Ciarán
️ "Where's the party at?"
Name: Ciarán
Location: Prædium Sorokys, Luxium, Solunarium
️ Biography: The baby—until Morgaine's children were born—of the family, Ciarán did train to be a blacksmith under his mother's tutelage. He has the skills, but he would rather work than play and so he has elected to stay with his brother in the Luxian villa Zalkyriax left in his keeping. 'Luxian on the streets; Umbrian in the sheets' is his latest catchphrase. He sees more of the Umbrian night life than the Luxian sights.
Zef Mirlind
"Magic never weakened.
Magic never hid.
Magic always ruled."
Name: Zef Mirlind
Location: Tower of Lore, Kalzasi
️ Biography: The aging wizard finally admitted to Finn that he had enjoyed a dalliance with Modron many decades ago and so is his grandfather. By the time he was aware of his son, Mabon, it was too late to reconnect fully with his lover, but he did complete his promise to her by initiating Finn in the Rune of Mesmer to aid his goal of becoming a famous bard. His grandson is the only member of the family with whom he has any relationship.
