Known Entities
As Phasma make themselves known in the setting, it is important to keep a canonical catalogue of the ones in play. Here are the ones that have revealed themselves in one way or another to individuals within the setting.
Merril, The Mother of Many
- Description: Merril primarily reveals herself as a large human-ish creature, often 2 stories tall with tanned skin and a blonde head of hair, with an added feature of a jagged, snaggletoothed mouth full of sharp teeth.
- Obsession: Anomalous, propogating the Phasma as a species.
- Capabilities: Massive witchspace manipulation. Skilled magic use and extensive passive psionic influence. Lordship over all Phasma.
- Witchspace: Merril's personal witchspace constantly fluctuates but an extension of it is purely dedicated to being a bridging point between every other Phasma's witchspace that takes on the form of a fancy casino.
- Thralls: While technically all Phasma are her thralls, Merril doesn't treat them that way. Her influence over her domain is strong enough she doesn't require the aid of thralls, regardless.
| Aware entities | |
|---|---|
| The Lorath Matriarchy | The Lorath only circulate information about her in their upper echelons, as this information is highly classified due to the nature of Merril's rise to power. They do not know what has become of her since her escape during her initial Phasmafication. |
| The Opportunity's Knock | The OK have had several dealings with Merril, with Isthmau Taa'uotl Paar'enil having earned Merril's mark of respect for tasks performed in her service and Taela Kaila being partially de-Phasma'd by her own hand. |
Yaruru, The Clinging Intent
- Description: A supermassive gold-barked tree with a rainbow of leaves throughout its many branches that stretch out for literal miles. Also takes on the form of an equally massive anthropomorphic deer woman with gold fur and silver antlers, with rainbow sprites dangling from them.
- Obsession: Yaruru is obsessed with growth, evolution, and permutations. She is constantly experimenting to achieve new results in magical bioengineering and the development of her creations.
- Capabilities: Absolute control over her thralls, conversion of local landscape to her magical forest witchspace, magical genetic engineering, multi-body transitioning.
- Witchspace: A magical forest of simply indescribable proportions with a flurry of colours and creatures living in it. It works to confound and separate groups through spacial manipulation and then take down targets in individual capacity with weaponized flora and fauna.
- Thralls: Yaruru constantly tweaks and changes her creatures, but two forms she comes back to frequently are quadrupedal moth sprites for monitoring and deers of both typical shape and of taurine shape to take more aggressive actions against prey.
| Aware entities | |
|---|---|
| The Balance Coalition | The BC does not know her by name, but attribute the disappearance of several towns and squads of soldiers to her, though they have no concrete evidence of her being a cognizant entity beyond a “forest of mystery” |
| The Opportunity's Knock | The OK have had one dealing with Yaruru that ended up in Taela's phasmafication. They stand on somewhat uneasy terms with her at this point. |
The Burning Sorrow
- Description: The Burning Sorrow is a rocky-carapaced creature of large proportions, taking up a city block in size. The plating on its body is a dark grey in colour and has a scaly sheen to it. It has clawed hands and feet and moves quadrupedally, though it can stand and move on its hind legs just as easily as any biped. It has a decently long neck similar to any saurian species.
- Obsession: Combustion.
- Capabilities: Very limited mental capacity. Sturdy form, searing body and breath.
- Witchspace: Incredibly limited, night nonexistent except as a way to move between locations it scours for fuel.
- Thralls: Unable to create Thralls.

| The Kingdom of Albion | The Burning Sorrow attacked York but disappeared after their military forces drove it off. It has not been seen since. They do not know its name, nor its identity as a Phasma |
