 The fog creeps through cobbled alleys, yellow lamp-light casting dim shadows against closed doors. Garlic hung in windows against the night, chimerae and kithain stay close beside the fire in the evenings, with a warm drink in hand. Outside, strange evils creep through the darkness, and woe betide any Goblin which finds itself for need or desire out amongst the streets when night has fallen. The full bounds of story can be found here, for who knows what tales shall find themselves upon the stage? Images of many of these can be found in the Gallery.
 Jade Silverstone, the alchemist.
A journeyman of the Miners' guild, Silverstone has begun a lifelong journey of discovery - the trasmutation of lead into gold, and of the dead into the living. This nocker's dark crafts have brought strange, misshapen shadows to stalk the midnight streets, as the lightning arcs against the sky.
actress: Debbie MacKenzie.
 Noris-Franky, the created monster.
Once a simple Horse Pooka seeking to eke out a living in the Autumn World, tending to his fields and farm, the Great Explosion brought "No Rise" near to death.

Dr. Q.E.D. Fyne, the Ripper.

 Neverbloom, the shadow king.
The former chancellor of Shining Waters returns to his home to find nothing but the ruin he foresaw when he left. Mourning the loss of lovers, family and friends, the Cricket King now rules over no more than ash and painful memory. His self fufilling prophecies in all their dismal glory, will the grump sluagh burn out or fade away?

Some say a man can only be judged when he is at his lowest point, in which case, Lord Neverbloom's judgement day may soon be at hand...
actor: Mitchell Smallman (Blue booked)
Ace Silverstein, the reckless youth.
One of the first Fae to Chrysalis after the near destruction of Shining Waters, this Seelie nocker brings sparkles of youth that are hidden within the smoke of the destruction which bore his creation. A crafter whose devices literally work on piss and vinegar, he will bend Science to his whim whether Science wants it or not. While his inventions will probably never bring him any success, his daring and moxie have made him a test pilot in high demand. But it's only a matter of time for any man who makes a life out of playing with fire and Fortune before he is burned...or worse.
actor: Mitchell Smallman

 The Murdhuacha, ichthyic horrors.
The things beneath the sea appear to have been the servants of the Old Darks in their assaults at Midsummer. Were they behind the December Death as well? What motives could be behind their actions, these Dreams from beneath the sea, older than mankind? And what might happen when they turn their baleful gaze upon the shore? "Nobody said the ocean was a safe place. There are ... things down there, things that slide effortlessly through the arctic chill and lightless void. Creatures that wait for their time, the time of flood -- the time of Dagon."

Goblins:

 "He was a snub-nosed, flat-browed, common-faced boy enough; and as dirty a juvenile as one would wish to see; but he had about him all the airs and manners of a man. He was short for his age; with rather bow-legs, and little, sharp, ugly eyes. His hat was stuck on the top of his head so lightly, that it threatened to fall off at every moment - and would have done so, very often, if the wearer had not had a knack of every now and then giving his head a sudden twitch, which brought it back to its old place again. He wore a man's coat, which reached nearly to his heels. He had turned the cuffs back, half-way up his arm, to get his hands out of the sleeves, apparently with the ultimate view of thrusting them into the pockets of his corduroy trousers; for there he kept them." - Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
"Seated on an upright tombstone, close to him, was a strange,
unearthly figure, whom Gabriel felt at once, was no being of this
world. His long, fantastic legs which might have reached the
ground, were cocked up, and crossed after a quaint, fantastic
fashion; his sinewy arms were bare; and his hands rested on his
knees. On his short, round body, he wore a close covering,
ornamented with small slashes; a short cloak dangled at his
back; the collar was cut into curious peaks, which served the
goblin in lieu of ruff or neckerchief; and his shoes curled up at
his toes into long points. On his head, he wore a broad-brimmed
sugar-loaf hat, garnished with a single feather. The hat was
covered with the white frost; and the goblin looked as if he had
sat on the same tombstone very comfortably, for two or three
hundred years. He was sitting perfectly still; his tongue was put
out, as if in derision; and he was grinning at Gabriel Grub with
such a grin as only a goblin could call up." - Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers.|
 Mr Burke, Ressurection Man.
A goblin who looks for the world like a long-armed chimpanzee, shaved poorly and stuffed into a high-collared white shirt and ill-fitting vest, Burke is a compatriot of Mr. Hare. His once-white spats are always coated in the deepest muddy hue, as Burke and Hare are, amongst other things, grave-robbers for hire. Providing materials for nocker experiments can be quite profitable. There remains the suspicion that Burke and Hare occasionally create the corpses they need to turn a bit of coin.
actor: Non-Player Character
Mr Hare, Ressurection Man.
Hare's appearance suits his name, for he looks much akin to a long-starved rabbit, with skeletal features coated in mangy fur. His coat shows his ribs despite, and is worn entirely through at the elbows. He always looks hunched and ready to run, save when he is lording it over those rare few weaker than he. His apparent poverty is surprising, as this particular goblin runs the Dog and Ferret inn, which not only serves some of the finest watered-down gin in the Dream City, it is also the unofficial offices of the Union of Rat-Catchers and Stevedores.
actor: Non-Player Character

Her Free Hold is in the Dreaming of the Far North, surrounded by the Northern Lights. |
