He’s foreboding. He’s powerful. He is respected. He is a ruler that keeps his family close, and enemies closer. After all, you never truly know who’s in your court or harem until they show their true colors.

The Emperor of the Tianlong Dynasty has done much in his time in Mythris – from territorial disputes to the west to navigating the end of the BWP in the east. Most recently, the Dragon has been embroiled in drama that has swept through and polarized much of the dynasty. The punishment of Shēnléi's attendant, , was challenged publicly by his own Heir Apparent. Many named it treason, but some felt it justified.

Shēnléi must continue to wield his experience as he navigates these difficult times of infighting amongst his own ranks. Will Shēnléi have his male heir? How will Shēnléi interact with the other groups of the Wastelands? Will he locate his misplaced kin after the portals spit them back out? Will he ever recognize his illegitimate son? STAY TUNED.

Mysterious and dark, a nonsensical woman whispering nonsensical thoughts.

Discovered years ago lying dreamily in a pit of sun-bleached bones by , the pair were immediately inseparable. As the years rolled on Amaranth's tragic past gradually began to unfold, forcing her to confront her long-buried demons whenever they might raise their heads... but she was not alone.

Once friends, now mates, she and Valeska - with a brood of fully grown children and grandpups to spare - have surmounted every obstacle thrown their way, somehow managing to forge a path ahead beneath the longstanding banner of their very own Elysium.

Although Amaranth might appear more grounded than she ever was in her youth, don't let that fool you. She is still the devious, possessive mystic she always has been...

Just with a bit more intent.

As a frequent purveyor of everyone's dreams, the truth of the Dream Visitor's story has finally been unveiled. As the lands of Mythris overflow with a terrifying magical power, it is up to the denizens of the dying continent to decide if they believe his story and make some final, potent decisions.

Is the Dream Visitor as innocent as he claims? Is he a simple wolf who made a mistake and is now reliant on your help to spare the earth as eternal darkness threatens?

Or has he been the one who has singlehandedly perpetuated the anger of the Moving Isle and condemned Mythris?

As Elysium’s resident Witch Doctor, Fiora has suddenly found herself in need of doctoring. Mythris’s strange Plague-disease has recently caused unrest in the mind of this youthful Bacchus. However, thanks to the help of the blue turtlehead, a pack of druids, and the unusual methods of her cousin, she has been brought back to sentience.

At least temporarily.

And despite the nefarious brain worm that now co-exists within the Witch Doctor's brain, Fiora has helped tremendously in the search for runes, even at the cost of her own sanity, and has helped bring the world just a bit further away from the edge of destruction — thanks, Fiora!

Now splitting time between Northfall and Elysium, and welcoming her new nieces and nephews (first cousins once removed?) into the world, we look forward to seeing what happens next to Elysium’s little cryptid!!

Iglux̂, Bloodhunter of the Sun Clan, has shown her deep love and loyalty to the ways of her people of Saatsine. She is an observer, known for her deep gaze, curious nature, and her occasional obsessive quest for perfection. She is a follower of the caribou, as have been generations of her people. She is often considered aloof to outsiders, but is deeply devoted once someone breaks through that cold exterior.

Iglux̂ can be found preparing to pass their ways on to her upcoming littler with , Chieftan of the Sun Clan. How will she fare in this new world? We look forward to seeing how the Bloodhunter does here in Mythris!

In the growing darkness of Mythris, Liss is a beacon of light and optimism. Originally a princess from a faraway land, Liss found herself transported into Mythris (via “magic stones”), landing her directly into Camhanaich’s gentle hands. It is here with the druids that this young princess now resides, blessed with luminance … and a bit of affluent naivety.

Her nature is enduring, pushing the boundaries of perseverance and begging for light in the darkness. And while for some this may be endearing, it has also proven to get her into a little bit of trouble from time to time (cough Saatsine cough).

She is young and eager, with a heart of gold, though she doesn't seem to quite know when to quit. We look forward to where this young royal’s story will take her next!

And in this, he had finally found sanctuary among the wolves of Northfall and Dawnbreak, and he has finally made amends with his family.

This forceful pirate has made quite the impression since coming ashore in Mythris! With a penchant for trouble, Lyra hides her insecurities deep beneath the seas of her wrath. She is also hot-blooded and quick to react; the girl's past is steeped in violence, leaving the Pirate Queen more likely to strike for blood before bothering to ask any questions first.

Not only is she physically adept, Lyra is quick-witted and adaptive, with an impressive talent for utilizing all of her assets to gain the upper hand or get something she's after.

Chakliux, Seal Hunter and known trader between tribes, has made a considerable impact since he arrived in Mythris, as he rebuilds a home in a land so far from his origins. Although he arrived with those he knew, a wife, a son, and an adopted boy from a cousin tribe, he has already faced the mysterious ways in which Mythris can so easily rip those we love away.

Yet his story is not shared with tears of grief, and it is far from over.

Carrying his tradition and culture on, he has taken as his Seal Wife and together, with the companionship of an adopted son, from the Walrus hunters, they have begun to rebuild a home. Together, they have shared the ways of the trade with neighboring tribes and have begun to help Elk Charm, Caribou Hunter and a member of the Sharadoii band, with her Firstrite.

A bone-chilling savant in the realm of the dead, Sreda has investigated the darkest corners of the mortal world through her macabre experiments and good-intentioned exorcisms.

As daughter of and , it is no surprise that this morbid curiosity has thrived within Elysium walls - as does her pupil, who she had discovered freshly arrived, lost in the snow, and very, very eager to learn.

After a recent grave robbing stint with her younger siblings (trying to resurrect their recently passed grandmother), we all lie in wait for what fresh - or not so fresh - experiments are in store for this... peculiar Callosum daughter.

This fabled son brings the intrigue and intensity, causing plenty of trouble to those who cross him or his twin.

While growing into the impressive legacy of his parents, Sverke continues to find his own footing in the art of manipulation and mental games. Sverke has shown his loyalty lies with those fortunate enough to be in his good graces, and for those who don't...

The Fra Stjernene has already proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with, and we all wait with eager anticipation for what his next moves will be!

Despite his young age, this Drazen child has already began to make his mark on the world, especially within the network of his siblings. Fueled by fire and possession, Abaddon has begun trying to take what he wants, whenever he wants, even despite the ever watchful gaze of his mother, .
It would seem that he is already trying to weave the fates of his other siblings by attempting to bend them to his will - particularly his youngest sister, .

Now, as he’s begun to age, his tendencies are becoming more aggressive and even more frequent. Will his family be able to reign his chaos back in, or will Abaddon continue on his self-proclaimed path of domination?

April happily welcomes Golde as Vivarium's next character of the month! This small golden wolf is a newer face seen around the lands of Mythris, but she has certainly begun to make her mark on the hearts of those around her. Already she has found purpose, friendship, and even romance amidst the growing ranks of Dawnbreak.
