Shanqari
Element: Darkness
A young root urchin and failed deathjester, now back to her scoundrel ways. Still, nothing seems the same as it was before that fated exam and no amount of sap-tripping can help her bury the feeling that she has yet to, quite literally, reclaim her own life.

Both the Tree of Deaths and the Tree of Dreams
stand solemn in Weave’s eversurging streams:
first Aeons, emanating, emerging,
opposite and objective and urging.
Ortaq
Element: Fire
Bastard son of a pilgrim, born of an element unusual among the Goqinra, Ort grew up in a banshee bordello. When not entertaining the clientele at the Dock Cock, he is finding ways to be around Shanqari, his coolest friend since forever.
Both the Tree of Deaths and the Tree of Dreams
stand solemn in Weave’s eversurging streams:
first Aeons, emanating, emerging,
opposite and objective and urging.
From them stem very threads that beget them
in order to ascend to source and end
and for once they proclaim in unison:
That One is the Judge.

Ecko
Element: Darkness
Hand-picked as a child to be tried as an initiate of Owbrik, Ecko was a star of preseed training. There he met Shanqari, who turned out to be his unlikely match in both feats and wits: it was only a matter of time before the two ended up as sweethearts. The troubled romance ended when she dropped out, but the old flame still gets a faning sometimes.
