I’ll update this page as people are introduced in the story.
This means that there will be spoilers that may be as recent as the current page!
The last update was on October 1, 2022 and is current through Chapter 1, Page 5.

Main Cast
Liara Everett
Hey wait, that’s me! I don’t really like to think of myself as a main character, and definitely not top billing. But since I’m the one doing these write-ups and sketches, I guess it makes the most sense to list myself first.
I’m a magic theorist, with a focus on historical and traditional casting methods, but I like learning about any field of magic theory. Or any subject, really. There’s not much I’m good at, but I do my best to learn what I can from the brilliant people around me.
In my free time, I like to visit museums and find good places to eat. Oh, and I love having board game nights! I don’t win often, but it’s fun either way. Since we just moved here, it’s only Rio and me for now, but hopefully we can find some new friends to invite soon.
Oriole Fairwind
My best friend! We set out together on a new adventure, bringing us here to Stoneberry Valley. She’s kind of evasive about the things that are bothering her, but I try not to press her too much. So try to contain your curiosity about her. She’s super smart and an awesome artificer! I don’t know what I’d do without her.
Self-introduction from Oriole: Liara promised to include this unedited, so instead of introducing myself the way she wanted, I’m using the space to say that she’s actually one of the smartest people I know; she’s definitely smarter than me, even if she won’t admit it. Beyond that, she’s warm, friendly, and an all-around great person. Don’t let her undersell herself.
… I did promise not to edit what she gave me, but it feels wrong to write it out. Well, since she refuses to introduce herself, I’ll just have to take matters into my own hands. One way that Rio definitely has me beat is in being a huge nerd, and this is coming from someone who thinks taking notes is fun. She spends all her free time watching streams and playing video games. Okay, it’s actually pretty fun to watch her play games, so maybe I kind of understand the appeal, but still, NERD!
She’s also careful and considerate, always quietly thinking about how to help the people she cares about, even as she does her best not to let it show.
Supporting Cast
Elaisa Fireglow
A well-rated armorer in Stoneberry Valley. First impression: friendly and charismatic. She extended an impromptu partnership offer to Rio and me, kind of a lucky break for us considering how new we are to both the town and commercial magecraft. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Self-introduction from Elaisa: Hi, I’m Elaisa Fireglow. I run Fireglow Equipment here in Stoneberry Valley. If you need adventuring gear or any kind of custom-made equipment, I’ve got you covered. Oh, and the two of you are pretty new to SV, right? If you need any help getting used to the area, I was born and raised here, so I might be able to give you some tips. Feel free to pop in and chat any time. You mentioned you’re living down the street by…
At this point, the self-introduction completed its transition into a normal conversation, and I was too awkward to try and get more self-introduction, so I’ve simply included the relevant portion.
