There are many people to keep track of this book. At the expense of a small bit of Aether, I’ve created this Codex Arcanica to track the key players and information for easy reference. Hope this helps - Kusinaki


    The Main Players are…


    Mage Federation:


    Captain Morwen - Arefhel’s daughter. Arefhel doesn’t say much about her, but from what Akamori said, she’s very capable on the battlefield. She also rarely smiles.


    Sgt. Sirsir - The Mage squad’s non-commissioned officer in charge. He’s a blunt and simple man, but he’s good at his job. Akamori says he’s fond of “big man shit” whatever that is?


    Cpl. Yasiin - is a bit of an enigma. He doesn’t really say much from what I understand. But I always get the feeling he’s constantly watching everything. Like an Eryn Red Hawk.


    Pvt. Salanaat - Another quiet one. Seems nice enough, though. But don’t get on his bad side. I doubt you’d live long enough to regret the mistake.


    Pvt. Amara - One of my oldest friends. Amara is a priestess of Hoshun. Or at least she was until the Sauridius came and destroyed our home. Now she’s a spell soldier with Akamori.


    <del>Pvt</del>Lt. Akamori - My other oldest friend. A bit of a dreamer. He always saw himself in the stars. After the Sauridius burned his village, he joined the Mage Federation to try to prevent more tragedies like Hoshun.* (I guess he got a promotion and forgot to tell me? At least Amara checks in…)


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    ArchPriest Eaulmant - I’ve only seen him in holos. Painfully handsome. And always busy. Lately though, he’s had a sad look in his eye, like something big is coming and only he knows about.


    The Order of Aeryn


    Arefhel - My boss. She’s cold, ruthless and unforgivingly greedy. She’s why I was sent to Hoshun. But I’m glad I went, because of the great friends I made while I was there.


    Kusinaki - yours truly. I’m an artificer in training. A Light, Air and Water mage.


    The Brotherhood of Man:


    Lt. Fennex - A junior officer commanding the marines on loan from the Brotherhood. He takes good care of his men, and that’s admirable.


    Admiral Smits - From what I understand, the Admiral is a very fair and reasonable officer. Not a judgemental or biased man. He takes the facts as they are, not as he wants them to be.


    Administrator (Alvin) Patton - A shrewd politician who becomes the unwitting victim of Ominek. I dread to see how his future plays out.


    The Sauridius:


    Ominek - A dread lord of notable infamy. He can often be found in front and behind most combat lines with the Sauridius. Where there is unrest, Ominek usually isn’t far behind.


    Tomek - Not sure if he’s a fellow dread lord, but I do think there’s a familial connection between himself and Ominek. He attacks the Cadaver Crasher and nearly sinks the vessel.


    Leviathos - The draconic demigod husbanding Sauridius’ power and ensuring that they brought new dragon born hatchlings under Sauridius soul shackling. Not much has been seen or heard from regarding Leviathos and I think he likes to keep it that way.
