Wilderwitch's Babies

1. The Damnation Brigade in Cabalarkon

• Blind Sundown:
• real name: John Sundown, most of his fellow D-Brig members seem to call him Johnny;
• Summoning Child native North American, a Cheyenne, though he calls his tribe the Tis-tsis-tas or Human Beings;
• considers himself a Creature of the Cosmos; also calls himself a Wakinyah Thunder Being or, sometimes, a Thundercloud Creature;
• wasn't always blind; in the early 1940s traded his sight to a Cheyenne Medicine Man, Shaman Manitoulin, for his solar spear and the right to ride Raven’s Head, his fellow Wakinyah Thunder Creature;
• original supranormal ability: an exclusion zone that seemingly protects him from being harmed by projectiles, but also negates the powers of other supras with whom he is direct contact;
• can see through others’ eyes when he is in direct contact with them;
• Cyborg Cerebrus:
• born in the late 1920s, son of Loxus Abraham Ryne and Eden Nightingale; twin brother of Saul ‘Psycho’ Ryne; older brother of Aranyani Nightingale, among a number of others all of whom (save Aran) are twins;
• lived through being accidentally shot in the head by the Silver Arrow assassin codenamed Sagitta in late 1930s;
• headplate installed during the Christmas Holiday Season of 1946/7 turns out to be of Utopian design;
• submerged in a tub of Cathonic Fluid within the Catacombs of the Sleepers beneath the Grand Central Square of Cabalarkon City after (barely) surviving an encounter with Mars Bellona, the Apocalyptic of War, in Temporis on the 6th of Tantalar 5980;
•  OMP-Akbar:
• on the Outer Earth went by the name of Obadiah Melvin Power; evidently an amnesiac unknown until spotted walking out of Hiroshima’s Ground Zero with his then wife, Corona Power, in August 1945;
• apparently ageless near-giant codenamed OMP (Old Man Power) when he became a member of the postwar KOC: the King’s Own Crimefighters;
• still has his rune-carved Homeworld Sceptre, but his so-called regalia, which he intentionally destroyed at the beginning of December 1980, turned out to be the Thrygragos Talismans from (mostly) 2008’s “Feeling Theocidal” (Feel Theo)— the Mask of Byron, the mutable Spear of Mithras and Lazareme’s Cloak of Many Colours;
• on the Inner Earth of Sedon’s Head proved to be Akbarartha; in the midst of “The War of the Apocalyptics” (War-Pox), became revealed as the eldest half-son of Dand (Devalord) Tariqartha, Lazareme’s Persian or Earth Magician and, therefore, the rightful Kronokronos Supreme of Temporis;
• booted out of Temporis along with the rest of D-Brig by the freshly turned 18-year old usurper Lakshmi Arthadot, she of Lemuria, whom he was supposed to marry on the 6th of Tantalar 5980;
• no one seems too sure as to the identity of his devic half-mother, if he had one: the Pauper Priestess, Pyrame Silverstar, is one possibility; another is Malar Tzigame, Byron’s Butterfly;
• his twin sister Meroudys may have become the future Eden Nightingale during 1920’s Simultaneous Summonings;
• Radiant Rider:
• birth name: Gloriella D’Angelo; married name: Dark; codename Radiant Rider; also known as Rainbow, Gloriel, Glory of the Angels;
• born on Good Friday 1933 (April 14), the same day as Aranyani Nightingale and Thea Mandam; that might make her a Great Goddess reincarnate if she’d passed the Totem Pool test, which she ended up never taking due to Thea’s unavailability after apparently never being born;
• a materialist, also known as an etherealist (as in ‘make ether real’); flies on rainbow hair and casts solid rainbows; had been known to project her ‘little angels’, which may be azuras (the offspring of Master Devas by themselves, without possessing anyone);
• blames her Big Angel for killing Mr Brilliant, whom she came to consider Lucifer Incarnate (Domdaniel-Pride) after he, possessing Dr Immanuel Dark – a thereafter wheelchair-bound cripple – killed her brother Gabriel (Codename Klarion, the supra Trumpeter), in 1953;
• seems devils cannot possess her; causing some to believe she’s a reborn Celestial like her Aunt Celestine, once the Anthean sisterhood’s Celestial Superior (who may still exist, albeit as Gloriel’s Big Angel);
• another possibility is that she somehow gained Castella Thanatos’s power focus when she was shorn of it on the same day, albeit on the Inner Earth, that Gloriel was born;
• four of her older siblings (Nita, Peter, Claudia and Leandro) seem to have gained abilities similar to some of the fourth generational Thanatoids cathonitized on the same day she was born (Ereba, Antaeor, Auraura and Constantine);
• has a daughter named Estrella (Star) whose father was Doc Dark; both are still alive beyond the Dome, as are her parents and three of her once ten strong siblings;
• given twenty-five years lost in Limbo, with her body separated from her mind, Gloriel is still 22 whereas Star Dark is 27 while Doc Dark is a Summoning Child (therefore soon to turn 60 at outset of the mini-novel);
• Raven’s Head:
• inhuman, possibly ageless, hybrid creature akin to something out of native Indian mythology or trickster folklore, albeit after the arrival of the White Man and his horses;
• considers herself a Creature of the Cosmos like her usual rider, Blind Sundown; also calls herself a Wakinyah Thunder Being or, sometimes, a Thundercloud Creature;
• not a thunderbird, though could be its inspiration (if it isn't a pterodactyl native to the Head’s Floodlands); has a raven’s head, a horse’s feathered body, talarial wings akin to Mercury’s on both sides of her four upper hooves;
• despite being altogether alive, at least partially a self-psychopomp or spirit-carrier, meaning she can get about between-space (the Weird, the Grey, the dark grey universal substance of Samsara);
• develops a unicorn horn when in the vicinity of devils; it along with Sundown’s Solar Spear forms a binary weapon that can cathonitize Master Devas; probably can’t kill them, though Utopians of Weir believe she and Sundown are devaslayers (devil-slayers);
• also together with Sundown, forms an obscuring cloud about herself when on the Outer Earth;
• not a shape-shifter, when she appears on the Outer Earth its under the (hated) glamour of a horse;
• unclear who set up the glamour (aural manipulation); might have been Shaman Manitoulin or one of his predecessors, could have been Sorciere or even Wilderwitch, but activates it herself as required;
• intelligent, can sort of speak, though not many can understand the sounds she makes;
• not the last of her kind, though she doesn’t realize that;
• a solitary Raven’s Head was pictured on the cover of 1990’s release of Phantacea Publications’ “Forever & 40 Days — the Genesis of PHANTACEA” {‘4Ever40’}, which ended in 4000 BC;
• Untouchable Diver:
• real name: Yehudi Cohen;
• German born, probably only half-Jewish Summoning Child whose father may have been the old Baron Tyrtod von Alptraum, the Prussian nobleman who formed the basis for the various, mostly postwar Steltsars, on both sides of the Dome, and 1980’s Sharkczar (from “Nuclear Dragons” {Nuke} and “Helios on the Moon” {Helmoon});
• gained the ability to make himself untouchable at will while dressed in a rubber wetsuit of his own makings in 1938; can also render those he’s in contact with just as intangible; 
• he found his Gorgon Goggles – what allow him a degree of far-sight and the ability to see through the ground while soil-swimming – in the Roman Colosseum a few weeks prior to becoming the Diver;
• discovers he’s not only Brainrock-blessed but can feed off the miraculous substance also called Gypsium-Godstuff during “Goddess Gambit” (Gambit);
• as such has become a self-psychopomp (spirit-carrier), meaning he can travel between-space by himself, without using the equivalent of a devil’s Tvasitar talisman, Ringleader’s rings or witch stones;
• unfortunately, when he does so he tends to ‘blip’ (become unconscious, sometimes for long periods of time — hours, even days)
• wife Rachel, yet another Summoning Child, is still alive on the Outer Earth in December 1980; so are two of their four children;
• seems he also had a son by Fisherwoman (Scylla Nereid) in the late Thirties, early Forties, who grew up to become Chthlonius ‘Tiger’ Tiecher, one of Kadmon Helios’s Trigon Spartae, all of whom apparently died with Heliopolis on Aegean Trigon in 1968;
• Wildman Dervish Furie:
• real name (Gentleman) Jervis Murray;
• a Summoning Child like the Elemental Twins (Aires and Thalassa, now believed to be Thanatoids of Lathakra), the Diver and Blind Sundown;
• as such only a few days or weeks short of his 60th birthday (35th, discounting Limbo) at start of mini-novel;
• no one seems to know what the full Furie looks like, though it appears it might be akin to a rabid faun or satyr;
• the Dervish is a hairy, juggernaut of sheer raw power with impervious skin who, as a teenager and young adult, was sometimes referred to as a Werewolf in Shorts;
• as Jervis Murray he was Wilderwitch’s long time lover; wasn’t Fey Woman’s father, however, as he’s infertile;
• he has some sort of relationship with Young Death (Augustus Nauroz on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, the revenant supra Bokor, magician or Voodoo Child known as Auguste Moirnoir beyond the Dome), who calls him ‘son’ for some reason;
• it’s beginning to look like the Furie is a devil, possibly the Lazaremist known as Lemolo Wildwyck, who hasn’t been seen on the Head for many generations;
• Morgianna ‘Morg’ Sarpedon, the Hellion’s Morrigan until the events on Diminished Dustmound on the 8th of Tantalar 5980, was using aspects of her devil-eating daemonic heritage to draw him out of Murray;
• without the Dervish’s engine (namely, the Furie), Jervis Murray would likely be entirely human, possibly even a dead human (see ‘Sister Grandmother’, a short story that rounded out 4Ever40);
• Wilderwitch:
• born around the Winter Solstice or Mithramas Day, Tantalar 5927, purportedly of the Dual Entities, though who was humanizing Miracle Memory is unclear;
• devic half-mother might have been Krepusyl Evenstar, Twilight’s Grey Lady, which would make her Tsishah Twilight’s quarter-sister as Miss Mist was occupying Morgianna not yet Sarpedon when she conceived her a few years later, in 5933;
• the Witch, capitalized, claims she doesn’t have a real name, though it may be Cynthemis Dyana, which Murray-Furie thinks it is, or possibly Cynthia, which Saladin Devason comes to call her;
• had one child pre-Limbo, a daughter (nowadays Fey Woman), born in 1946, but keeps the identity of her father secret;
• Fey (Faith McBride beyond the Dome, self-named Phaedra within the universal substance of Samsara, seemingly her natural habitat) was raised exclusively by the Anthean Sisterhood so the Witch properly regards her more as a younger sister than a daughter;
• given twenty-five years lost in Limbo, with her body separated from her mind, the Witch is 28, or soon will be, whereas Fey is 34 at outset of mini-novel;
• possibly the weakest member of D-Brig, her major supranormal attribute is that she was born able to do anything a fully trained Anthean witch can do;
• does have above average strength and speed as well as an affinity for forest animals, especially wolves, who may have raised her;
• her soul-self is mute but horrible to behold; she cannot solidify it and has to use her natural born ability to cast sensory glamours to make it seem like she can;
• Freespirit Nihila once claimed she was her Harmony-self reincarnated;

3. Shining Ones: First, Second and Third Generation Devils

• The Moloch Sedon
• seemingly immortal, tremendously powerful, but nowhere-near-almighty All-Father of Devazurkind; likes to appear to Westerners in particular as the Devil Himself, capitalized;
• a dark star above the Hidden Headworld during the day, hence Dark Sedon, his essence makes up Cathonia (the Cathonic Zone or Dome, also the Sedon Sphere);
• there, as seen as early as 1977’s Phantacea One, it takes the form of the Mighty Eye-Mouth in the Sky, a fact that devils, Illuminaries of Weir and a number of witches seem to know;
• as per 4Ever40, believes the Undying Utopian Cabalarkon is his father/creator, thus denying any contribution from the time-tumbling Dual Entities in Helios’s Fifth Lifetime on the first Weirworld some two hundred light years earlier;

  ========

• The Six Great Gods and Goddesses
• the Thrygragos Brothers and Trigregos Sisters comprise the entirety of the second generation of devakind;
• The Three Great Gods are:
• Thrygragos Lazareme (aka sometimes the Lackland Libertine, but most commonly Thrygragos Everyman), who sees himself as having blue skin and golden hair; in other words, a three-eyed version of Alorus Ptah (the Male Entity in his 61st lifetime); those who behold him think they're seeing their idea of what God looks like;
• Thrygragos Byron (aka both Bodiless Byron and the Unmoving One due to that fact that he’s all head, with his facial features frozen in the same expression, not because he can’t transport himself wherever he wants on the Inner Earth); and
• Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, who, as per 2008’s “Feeling Theocidal” (Feel Theo), may well have also been Uranus, Kronos and Zeus, in that order, as well as many another pantheon’s God the Father prior to circa 1500 BC (2500 YD, Year of the Dome);
• at outset of mini-novel, Byron is the brightest star in the south-western quadrant of the night’s sky; Varuna Mithras has been dead, apparently irredeemably, since the 44th Century of the Dome, and no one seems to know what’s become of Lazareme;
• circa 2000 YD (2000 BC) Anvil the Artificer (Tvasitar Smithmonger, the devic smithy) crafted the Thrygragos Talismans for the Thrygragos Brothers; they are (or were): the Mask of Byron, the mutable Spear of Mithras and Lazareme’s Cloak of Many Colours;
• The often three-in-one Great Goddesses are:
  • Trigregos Devaura (the Spirit or Soul), Trigregos Demeter (the Body), and Trigregos Sapiendev (the Mind or Individual Consciousness);
• they appeared in 4Ever40 and, much more prominently, in Helmoon;
• neither do their terrible talismans, which the devic smithy crafted for the Master Devas’ simultaneous mothers; they are (or were): the Amateramirror, the Crimson Corona and the Susasword;

  ========

• Master Devas

- dictionaries often define ‘devas’ or ‘daevas’ as ‘the shining ones’; hence also the English word ‘devils’, meaning ‘little gods’;
- Master Devas compose the third generation of devazurkind; the Trigregos Sisters always bore them simultaneously, in threesomes;
- they believe their fathers are one or another of the Thrygragos Brothers; hence why it’s accepted that there are only three devic tribes: the Lazaremists, the Byronics and the Mithradites;
- when Master Devas, whose bodies are debrained daemons, interact sexually, without possessing anyone, all they can produce are azura spirit beings;
- a fourth generation of devakind (as opposed to devazurkind) began coming into existence during the second, third and fifth decade of the Dome’s 60th Century; as of late Maruta 5980 YD, every known member of the 4th Generation has been born as a twin instead of a triplet;
- thereafter, on the 5th of Tantalar 5980, the Quadrang or, less accurately, Apocalyptic Nucleoids (Jah Dreadlock, Hatchethands, Mandragora Gallows Ghoul and Flying Doltaur), whom Matare bore in the Calvary Cavern were born a foursome, not either a twosome or threesome;
- the Byronic Nucleus and the hence Apocalyptic Nucleus cathonitized each other the next day, the 6th of Tantalar, an event that brought to an end the war of the Apocalyptics and also resulted in what was left of D-Brig’s expulsion from Temporis by Lakshmi of Lemuria;
- when Sedon, Great Gods and/or Master Devas possess sentient beings for procreative purposes, their resultant offspring are often long-lived and, once in a while, unnaturally gifted mortals known as deviants;
- it seems likely that many of the Outer Earth’s so-called supranormals or supras also had devic half-parents; this is especially true of supras born as a result of the Simultaneous Summonings of 59/1920;

========

• Significant Lazaremists

— Harmony, called Datong Harmonia by bygone Illuminaries of Weir on Earth; the Unity of Balance as well as Panharmonium (her pet project, a planetary panacea for beneficial devils and their worshipful multitudes alike; as per “The 1000 Days of Disbelief” {Daze}, actually existed from roughly 5000 to 5500 Year of the Dome);
- reputedly, by a matter of a few seconds, the first Master Deva ever born; beauty incarnate as well as loveliness personified;
- her power focus or Tvasitar talisman is a golden torc, the so-called Necklace of, as you might expect, Harmony; from it she conjures her golden, chain-mail gowns and the broken chains often manifested manacled to her wrists; from them she sometimes shoots, what else?, chain lightning;
- folklore has it that Harmony is incomparable because she is mostly Gypsium and, therefore, not humanized by demons; probably isn't true, however;
- those who beheld her thought they were seeing their ideal female;

— Freespirit Nihila, from War-Pox, Gambit and Helmoon, claims she was once Harmony;
- she also told Kronokronos Akbar and Wilderwitch in the Faerie Garden of Temporis, on the 6th of Tantalar, that she believed the Witch was her incarnation;

========

• The Thanatoids of Lathakra

— Methandra Thanatos, a firstborn Mithradite also known, accurately, if perhaps somewhat disrespectfully, as Hot Stuff;
- a red-skinned, flame-haired giantess; almost always masked and thoroughly covered in fabrics invariably coloured different shades of red, pink or purple;
- power focus is a firebrand or matchstick (cane);
- the mother, while being subsumed by a be-brained, glassine daemon or demon pre-Genesea (the Great Flood of Genesis) of Klannit, the world’s first azura;
- considered the devic patron of the Athenan War Witch sisterhood (to which Janna St Peche-Montressor, Fisherwoman, Superior Sarpedon and dangerous daughter Andaemyn, among others, belong in the mid-to-late 60th Century of the Dome);
- for thousands of years known as Mithras’s Virgin; shunned the attentions of both her grandfather, Dark Sedon, and her father, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, while in turn being ignored by true love and triplet-brother Tantal (King Cold);
- a self-proclaimed death goddess, that of heat and fire, who nonetheless became the conceptive and birthmother of the first members of a fourth generation of devakind (not to be confused with devazurkind) sometime after waking up from a thousand year sleep in 5908 Year of the Dome;
- her ten, fourth generational offspring from when she was possessing Miracle Memory and Tantal Heliosophos were Day and Night (Castella and Ereba), the Four Elements (Antaeor-Earth, Acheron-Fire, Thalassa-Water Aires-Air) and the Four Seasons (Veronas-Summer, Auraura-Winter, Constantin-Spring, and Orinth-Autumn);
- was pregnant with Sedunihas (who has yellow skin & only ages one year in five) and Motan (who was stillborn) when hit by Sedona's Spell of Disproportionment on Antheal 14, 5933, on the slopes of Sedon's Peak;

— Tantal Thanatos, firstborn Mithradite most commonly known as King Cold;
- a gigantic, blue-skinned, icicle-bearded, archetypal-Viking whose power focus or Tvasitar talisman is a labrys (a double-headed war axe);
- pre-Dome father, while being subsumed by a be-brained daemon or demon pre-Genesea (the Great Flood of Genesis) of Klannit, the world’s first azura;
- besides his thought-father, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, probably the most prolific male Master Deva in terms of having azura offspring;
- self-proclaimed death god, that of cold and ice, who nonetheless became the conceptive and birthfather of the first members of a fourth generation of devakind (not to be confused with devazurkind) sometime after waking up from a thousand year sleep in 5908 Year of the Dome;
- his ten, fourth generational offspring from when he was possessing Heliosophos and Methandra Miracle Memory were Day and Night (Castella and Ereba), the Four Elements (Antaeor-Earth, Acheron-Fire, Thalassa-Water and Aires-Air) and the Four Seasons (Veronas-Summer, Auraura-Winter, Constantin-Spring, and Orinth-Autumn);
- hit by Smoky Sedona Spellbinder's Spell of Disproportionment on Antheal 14, 5933, while coming down from Sedon’s Peak with sister-wife and ten fourth generation children;
- also the father of yellow-skinned Sedunihas the Artist who came along in 5955 and only ages one year in five;

— Klannit Thanatos, the world’s first azura; presumably the entire cosmos’s first azura as well;
- Thanatoid parents were subsumed by demons, one of whom was a glassine Klannit, when she was conceived pre-Dome;
- aspires to becoming a Master Deva in her own right but can’t dominate sentient beings unless they’re either simpletons or else dead;
- nevertheless has a near-devic affinity for mirrors; so much so she can both far-see and communicate either verbally or mentally through them;
- when they were both strictly spirit beings she and Anvil the Artificer, the Lazaremist master craftsman named Tvasitar Smithmonger, were lovers; he has been striving for nearly four thousand years to craft her a functional shell such that they can be lovers again;
- claims to have been to the Outer Earth a number of times during the so-called Secret Wars of the Supranormals (which lasted from early 1938 until late 1955);
- claims further to have brought her affinity for mirrors to a couple of those selfsame supras; says her supra codename was the Mirror Mentalist even though her simpleton shells sometimes had different codenames;
- appeared a number of times throughout the Phantacea Mythos, most notably in Gambit, wherein she occupied Nanny Klanny, the brain-damaged Sraddhite who looked after Thartarre Holgatson after his parents disappeared in the 5940s;
- it was her affinity for mirrors that allowed her locate her decathonitized, fourth generational siblings on the Outer Earth’s moon during Helmoon;

— Aires and Thalassa D’Angelo, Air and Sea, D-Brig’s Elemental Twins, Summoning Children adopted by Gloriel’s parents Raphael and (Sainted) Sophia nee St Synne in April 1933 but now believed to be fourth generational Thanatoids;

— Sedunihas, evidently the last non-cathonitized, or otherwise unaccounted for, devic offspring of Tantal and Methandra Thanatos;
- one definite brother (Antaeor, Demon Land) appeared in War-Pox, which came out in 2009; another brother and two sisters seem somehow connected to Airealist (Aires-Air), Sea Goddess (Thalassa-Water) and Radiant ‘Rainbow’ Rider (Castella-Day), three members of the Damnation Brigade who also appeared in War-Pox;
- his ice-statues of elder siblings Ereba-Night, Castella-Day, Acheron-Fire, Auraura-Winter, Constantin-Spring and Orinth-Autumn allowed Klannit to find them on the Outer Earth’s moon during Helmoon;
- a yellow-skinned, age-retarded artist who specializes in producing exceedingly lifelike statuary;
- for reasons not as yet provided in tremendous detail, was not given birth until 5955;
- (the highborn Byronic, Smoky Sedona’s Spell of Disproportionment rendered Methandra six inches tall in 5933; she thereupon transferred the twin foetuses to Klannit, who was by then in a homunculus crafted for her by Tvasitar Smithmonger around the same time; the foetuses were transferred back to her once the spell reversed and Methandra reverted to her giantess size, whereupon Tantal became six inches tall; the spell reversed again before she could give birth; this happened a few times until Sedunihas was born in 5955 YD);
- like all ten of his 4th generational brothers and sisters, born a twin, not a triplet; also unlike Master Devas, all twelve were born with possibly daemonic bodies; there is, however, thus far no indication he’s a metamorph like they were;
- as yet inexplicably, his twin brother, named Motan, was born (and remains) altogether dead;
- also for reasons not yet detailed, Sedunihas only ages one year in five; consequently appears to be only five years old in Tantalar 5980;
- a bust he was preparing of his grandfather, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, was destroyed during the course of Gambit by the never-remember Smiling Fiend (Smiler, Bad Rhad, Rhadamanthys in the PHANTACEA comic books, Sodom to Pyrame’s Gomorrah, also Ahriman);
- seems to have a ‘thing’ for Athena ‘Tina’ Zeross, age 6 in 5980, which may or may not come into play again during mini-novel;

========

• Significant other Mithradites

— King Harvest, Underlord Yama Nergal, a fifth-born, so-called Earthling;
- when the Lathakran Empire conquered the Penile Peninsula (better known as Iraxas, Sedon’s Mutton Chop on a map of the Hidden Headworld), he helped cathonitize Vanthysces Vastness (Scarecrow), the Byronics’ Grim Reaper;
- he thereafter fused the latter’s power focus, a scythe, with his own, a miner’s pickax; hence King Harvest, the Mithradites’ Reaper or Harvester;
- for millennia alternated, on a lunar basis, impregnating duties of much younger sister Fecundity (Nergal Vetala) with brood-older brother Gravedigger (Zuvem Nergalis);
- unchallenged devic ruler of the radioactive Ghostlands since circa 4825 YD;
- as such, Death’s Angels, whose touch can kill but, being predominantly animated by Nergalazurs, bodily dissolve in rain or running water, are his to command;
- more so than the first-born Thanatoids of Lathakra or the eighth-born Primary Apocalyptics’ Mother Murder (the Medusa, Mater Matare, who wasn’t born until, at the earliest, Mithras’s Twelfth), he’s considered the devils’ primary Death God;
- in Sedon’s Sweat Glands (the Flood and Lake Lands on a map of Sedon’s Head), during the first week of Tantalar 5980, suffered a severe setback to his efforts to march his Inglorious Dead from the Ghostlands to Hadd; thus failing to bring much needed reinforcements to Janna Fangfingers in Hadd;
- forced to retreat to his usual domicile Pettivisaya (Wailing Souls), which was Dark Sedon and Pyrame Silverstar’s power base prior to events described in “The Death’s Head Hellion” (Hellion); as such, and for most of the Hidden Headworld’s history, Pettivisaya was known as Grand Elysium;

========

• Moderately Significant Byronics

— APM All-Eyes, as she is most commonly known, is the lone daughter born in Bodiless Byron’s third brood;
- as such, a member of his secondary Nucleus (along with her triplet brothers, Damon Goldenrod and Nevair Neverknight);
- a love goddess, Byron’s Venus, bygone Illuminaries of Weir named her Aphropsyche Morningstar, hence APM;
-  likes to appear as if composed entirely of eyes, hence All-Eyes;
-  her witch-followers, who aren’t just confined to the Byronics’ territory of Aka Godbad at the time of the mini-novel, are known as love-loving Afrites;
- as per Helmoon, an aspect of APM survived the attack on Godbad by an outraged All of Incain; it, a dinky, winged eyeball akin to Gloriel’s little angels, did so inside of Janna St Peche-Montressor (q.v.), a love-loving Afrite as well as an Athenan War Witch, who was APM’s most frequent host-shell in 5980;

— Rufous Rudra Silvercloud, Bodiless Byron’s only firstborn son, his Beast Master, also his Storm Lord;
- as per Hellion, a onetime friend and ally of the Thanatoids of Lathakra who, along with sister-wife Umashakti, led Byronic forces during the First War between the Living and the Dead;
- involved in the Byronic ploy at the beginning of Tantalar 5980 that saw Apple Isle’s devic Dand Plathon (the Bull of Mithras, a third-born Mithradite), the Devil Child Tralalorn (from Mithras’s Ninth), the Ghostlands’ King Harvest (a fifth-born), the Flood Lands’ Klizarod Rex (from Mithras’s Seventh) and, among others, the Lakelands’ colourful Emperor Chameleon (also a seventh-born) humiliated and nearly ill-starred;
- as of the 6th of Tantalar, along with Uma, the eldest surviving Byronic on the Hidden Headworld;
- after events detailed in Helmoon one of the last three highborn Byronics;

— Umashakti Silvercloud, Unmoving Byron’s only remaining firstborn daughter; 
- a Moon Goddess, she waxes and wanes with its phases; consequently sometimes called Lunar Uma;
- her attribute is gravity; hence why devils usually address her as just that, Gravity;
- as per Hellion, a onetime friend and ally of the Thanatoids of Lathakra who, along with brother-husband Rudra, led Byronic forces during the First War between the Living and the Dead;
- in the absence of Devil Wind (Vayu Maelstrom, one of Byron’s Primary Nucleoids) freed from All of Incain at the beginning of Tantalar 5980;
- immediately thereafter became involved in the Byronic ploy that saw Apple Isle’s Devil Child Tralalorn, the Ghostlands’ King Harvest, and, among others, the Flood Lands’ Klizarod Rex humiliated and nearly ill-starred (cathonitized);
- like Methandra Thanatos and Freespirit Nihila barely survived Gambit;
- as of the 6th of Tantalar, along with triplet-husband Rufous Rudra, the eldest surviving Byronic on the Hidden Headworld;

— Deneb Makara, one of Great Byron’s Winder Zodiacals, Capricorn the Goatfish;
- the recurring deviant, Pusan Wanderlust, who always comes back in one of her daughters or granddaughters, claims Makara was her devic half-mother;
- others argue that Goatfish committed devic suicide by cutting out her third eye during the time of the Goddess Culture on the Outer Earth ca 2000 to 2500 YD (2000 to 1500 BC) and that therefore Pusan is what’s become of her (in much the same way Rumour of Lazareme became Jordan ‘Q for Quill’ Tethys);
- Makara’s Tvasitar talisman or power focus is a pedum, which is akin to a bishop’s crosier or a fairy godmother’s shepherd’s crook; it comes back to Pusan whenever and wherever she reincarnates;

— Malar Tzigame, Byron’s Butterfly;
- odds on favourite to be the devic half-mother of Akbar and Meroudys Artha while being possessed by the Temporis Faerie Queen known as Cabala (Dand Tariqartha would have be occupying Faerie King Archon);
- in early Tantalar 5980 among those involved in the Byronic ploy in the borderlands between the Flood and Lakelands (Sedon’s Sweat Glands) that almost led to the cathonitization of the Ghostlands’ King Harvest and also saw the Devil Child Tralalorn devolve the Lake Lands’ Emperor Chameleon;

— Pyçonja Volant, another of Great Byron’s Winter Zodiacals, Pisces the Fish;
- one of the odds on favourites to have been Fisherwoman’s devic half-mother because when the newborn Fish (Scylla Nereid, Lady Achigan now, but once the marital Queen of Godbad) was found by Aortic Merthetis, Volant’s Tvasitar talisman or power focus, a Fisher’s Gaffe, was found beside her;
- prior to and during Fish’s Godbadian Queenship, its air force was known as the Royal Byronic Volant in her honour;
- if she was Fish’s devic half-mother then she must have been humanizing Miracle Memory, the Female Entity, when Fish was conceived in 5917/18;

• More Lazaremists

— Irisiel Mercherm, Lazareme’s preferred Heliodromus or sun-runner;
- called Speedy by devils for reasons irrefutable; as such the only Master Deva who can get into and out of the Weirdom of Cabalarkon unimpeded, let alone captured in a Trinondev’s eyeorb or prison pod;
- in common with other, usually fairly low-born sun-runners like her brother in Lazareme, Djinn-Ghoster, and Djinn Domitian (Mithras’s Leontocephalic Trumpeter), both from Feel Theo, she seems able to enter Cathonia, the domain of Dark Star Sedon;

— Krepusyl Evenstar, Lazareme’s second-born Venus,
- once Mariamne Dawnstar, she of Daybreak; 800-years currently the Devic Dand of Crepuscule, Sedon’s Outer Nose, the Land of Twilight;
- triplet sister of Flowery Anthea (Lazareme’s Spring) and Titanic Metis (Metisophia, Wisdom of Lazareme);
- presumed to be Wilderwitch’s half-mother from when she was humanizing Miracle Memory in the mid-Twenties;
- also presumed to be Tsishah Twilight’s devic half-mother from when she was possessing Morgianna born Nauroz, but by then Somata (a hybrid Utopian who later became Superior Sarpedon on the Outer Earth and the Inner Earth Hellions’ Morrigan), in the early Thirties;
- also known as the Grey Lady and Miss Mist, the inspiration behind the Witch’s bedtime tale of Miss Murk (also Murk Mist), Mad for Mud Magpies (Mudpies);

— Amal-Althea Brand, Lazareme’s long missing, goatish Female Healer; previously seen in Feel Theo;
- Mel-Illuminatus appears to have her power focus, a caduceus, which Mel pretends is actually akin to the gargoyles Utopian Trinondevs manifest off their eye-staves in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon;
- Mel claims she acquired it from the Olympian Tantalus in the Forties on the Outer Earth, which is possible, but there’s plenty of speculation that while, as a pureblood Utopian she can’t be possessed, as a Summoning Child she may have been born with Althea Brand inside her the same as Barsine Mandam was born with Nergal Vetala inside her;
- if this is true, then she, like Wilderwitch, might well prove a viable host for Primeval Lilith

— Unholy Abaddon (the Unity of Chaos), Thunder and Lightning Lord Yajur (the Unity of Order), Tvasitar Smithmonger, the devic Prometheus (Anvil Artificer, Master Craftsman), Mandorla Auricaura (Bright Enlightenment of Lazareme, another possible devic half-mother of Fisherwoman because Fish’s bellybutton bauble is Mandorla’s power focus, a Vesica Piscis) and Battle Babe (the Morrigu Badhbh) – whose loyal forces are in the process of taking over Hadd’s western neighbour New Valhalla (the Bloodlands, Sedon’s Inner Earth), home of the Sangazur Glorious Dead, many of whose devic mother she is by Mars Bellona, the Apocalyptic of War – are among the other Lazaremists who are either mentioned or appear, howsoever briefly, in the mini-novel;

========

• More Byronics

— Chimaera Glimmenmare (Byron’s Stallion), along with triplet siblings, (Smoky) Sedona Spellbinder and Devil Wind (the Whirling Deva, aka Vayu Maelstrom), are Byron’s Primary Nucleoids; Draconic Yati, Byron’s Dragon (beware his burps), was last seen in Helmoon devouring Sharkczar;

========

• More Mithradites

— Phantast Thanatos, the third of the firstborn Thanatoid Death Gods; called Dream or Dreamweaver by devils;
- cathonitized circa 4000 YD (Year 0 AD) for masterminding the Crimson Conspiracy on the Outer Earth along with Strife (Mithras’s Ewe for Aries, aka Kore-Eris, Discord, Kanin Marut, Fitna Marutia, among many other names);
- decathonitized on the 30th of Maruta 5980, so presumably possessing a cosmicompanion in an as yet unidentified cosmicar somewhere beyond Cathonia;
- may already be influencing events on the Hidden Headworld; certainly both Wilderwitch and Saladin Devason are experiencing very disturbing dreams during the course of the mini-novel;

— Sinistral Sloth, Domdaniel-Pride and most of the other former or eventual Prime Sinistrals of Satanwyck and their Grand Vizier, Chancellor Ibal, are mentioned, usually by name, during the course of the Babies' mini-novels and appears in "Hidden Headgames";

— Pyrame Silverstar, the Pauper Priestess, the fabulously female (adult) Perpetual Presence; formerly (sometimes) called Providence, among many another name or title;
- decathonitized on the 30th of Maruta 5980, was possessing Cosmicaptain Nehrini Purandar in the cosmicar that crash-landed in Satanwyck (Sedon’s Temple, Hell on Earth, then currently the domain of Sinistral Sloth);
- unless programmed otherwise, All of Incain obeys her; hence why she can often be found occupying the She-Sphinx on the Prison Beach of Incain, at the bottom of the Cattail Peninsula (Sedon’s Ponytail on a map of the Hidden Headworld), about as far south as one can go on the Head without having to swim or ride in a boat;
- had no need of a devic power and daemonic body in 2000 YD (because she was already a solid entity, having been fused with her daemon while imprisoned pre-Dome in one of the Sphinxes and becoming Sed-mom shortly after her release ca 0 YD) when Anvil the Artificer first discovered how to render Master Deva individually solid and powerful entities;
- due to her lack of a power focus, for centuries after Anvil began making them Pyrame relied on her relationship with the recurring Attis to get hold power foci (he would give the foci of vanquished foes to her as tokens of her affection); however, as per Feel Theo she had to give them up on Thrygragon (Mithramas Day 4376 YD) and thereafter had to rely on Sedon, All or a variety of psychopomp demons to get about beneath the Dome;
- was cathonitized in 5950; which suggests she somehow lost her formerly (and perhaps still, at least partially) be-brained, daemonic body, disputably that of Primeval Lilith, the Demon Queen of the Night, much like she did in 4824 YD when, as per Hellion, they were jointly occupying Morgan Abyss, the Melusine Master of Weir;
-  devic half-mother of Saladin born Nauroz Devason, the Master of the Weirdom of Cabalarkon since 5950; (half-father: the Moloch Sedon — it may therefore be that Saladin is the last Sed-son or sedon, small case, left alive beneath the Cathonic Dome);
- some believe she was the devic half-mother of Meroudys and Akbar Artha near the beginning of the Cathonic Dome’s 59th Century (it’s now late in the Dome’s 60th Century), though that was more likely Byron’s Butterfly;
- appears in both Games and Daem-Desp;

—Tralalorn (White Dwarf, the child devil who along with Pyrame Silverstar and the Moloch counts herself one of the Hidden Headworld’s three Perpetual Presences), her brood sister Cathune ‘Apocalyptic of Drought’ Bubastis, Diluvia ‘Flood’ Ran, Mars ‘War’ Bellona, Mater ‘Mother Murder’ or ‘Mundane Death’ Matare and their fourth generational ‘Quadrang’ daughter, Flying Doltaur, are also mentioned in flashback during the novellas and mini-novels;

5. Mortal Descendants of Original Extraterrestrials

• Utopians of Weir on Earth

— Utopians living in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon are brought up to hate the Moloch Sedon and his devic progeny;
- oddly, as if to prove their non-Earth heritage, pureblood U-men are always black whereas pureblood U-women are invariably white;
- pure U-bloods can’t be possessed;
- the be-all and end-all of most completely cognizant U-bloods, pure or hybrid, stuck on the Whole Earth (either beneath the Cathonic Dome or, due only in part to an absence of functional spacecraft, beyond it) remains the destruction of their ancient enemies;

— Illuminaries of Weir, Utopian polymaths, supposedly learned in a wide variety of not-necessarily-related matters;
- the highest educated class in Cabalarkon, Illuminaries could also be found in former or decrepit Weirdoms like Godbad City, Samarand (Sedon’s Tongue Stud), the Gleaming City of Manoa (Hadd’s Necropolis, Fangfingers’ Capital), and the five hundred years ruined Kanin City, in the vast Plains of Marutia near the Gregarian Fields (Sedon’s Mole);
- often act as advisors to the reigning Master, who was often elevated from their rank (Quoits Tethys, Melina born Tethys Somata and Kyprian Somata were all once High Illuminaries of Weir); very seldom are they not pure U-bloods;
- Melina nee Sarpedon Zeross, an Inner Earth Summoning Child codenamed Illuminatus in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties, became the High Illuminary of Cabalarkon during the reign of by-then brother-in-law Saladin Devason (which began in 5950);

— Imbeciles of Weir, also the idiots of Weir; inbred and therefore very much low functioning Utopians; almost always purebloods, hence the inbreeding;

— Trinondevs of Weir, Weir’s Warrior Elite, nowadays mostly clones but formerly almost always purebloods who managed to overcome inbreeding in order to function as soldiers;
- their main weapons operate by willpower channelled though extraterrestrial devices such as Mother Machines and eye-staves;
- eyeorbs placed atop eye-staves double as prison pods in that they can suck devic and azura spirit being out of the shells they’re occupying and into them, thus incarcerating them;
- eyeorbs supposedly work on demons, too, though being so flammable they're easier to kill;
- once an eyeorb is full it ceases to function as anything except a prison pod; if it’s not replaced, the eye-stave becomes useless;
- eye-staves, like all their other anti-devil weaponry, never functioned in the Weirdom of Kanin City during the reigns of Zalman then Melina, Sraddha or Janna Somata;
- since Saladin Devason began his reign as Master in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon in 5950, its Trinondevs are exclusively male;

— Utopian Development Teams, surrogate parents charged with raising non-born clones as well a difficult natural born children like the Master's felt-entitled kids and those born of Outer Earth 'imports';

— Cabalarkon, Cabby the Daddy, the Undying Utopian; a biogeneticist when he lived and worked on, or travelled off of, the First Weirworld ca 200,000 light years earlier;
- when he was a wholly alive Utopian Scientocrat, the Dual Entities used his right eye to jumpstart the process that resulted in the Moloch Sedon, hence Cabby the Daddy;
- currently subsists in a tub of life-preserving, but animation-suspending, Cathonic Fluid beneath the Citadel of the Thinkers in Cabalarkon City; as such is probably the oldest, continuously alive mortal in the entire cosmos;
- it, like the rest of the territory composing the Weirdom of Cabalarkon (Sedon’s Devic Eye-Land on a map of the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head), is named after him;

— Melina born Sarpedon become Zeross, twin sister of Demios; may have been named after the Trigregos Titaness of the Dome’s 55th Century (Melina born Tethys Somata from “Contagion Collectors” {Contagion});
- a Utopian pureblood, an Inner Earth Summoning Child like twin brother Demios and Morgianna by then Somata, who first came to the Outer Earth in 1938 and attended the first Amsterdam Academy of Man until it closed with the outbreak of war;
- there, on the Outer Earth during its Secret War (or Wars) in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties, codenamed Illuminatus;
- became the High Illuminary of Weir (Cabalarkon) during the reign of (deeply disapproving) brother-in-law Saladin (born Nauroz but called Devason), which began in 5950; Sal, who hates Demios, seems to have been enamoured of her, but she rejected him for reasons as yet only implied;
- the mother by much younger Aristotle (Ringleader) Zeross (born in 1943) of three daughters: Persephone, Helen and Athena, all of whom appear in Gambit, Helmoon and DecDam);
- directly descended from the Sarpedon underclass who, as revealed in Hellion, are inclined to worship Thrygragos Lazareme since they see him as the Male Entity;

— Demios Sarpedon, twin brother of Melina become Zeross;
- pure U-Blood Summoning Child who first came to the Outer Earth in 1938, along with twin sister Melina; there served under the clone Golgotha Nauroz as a bodyguard for eventual wife Morgianna;
- there also, during its Suprawar (or Wars) in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties, codenamed Blackguard then the Ace of Spades;
- exiled, along with wife Morgianna, from the Weirdom of Cabalarkon once Saladin (born Nauroz but called Devason) won the Challenge of Weir in 5950 and became its Master;
- considered Saladin Devason’s chief rival for what passes as Cabalarkon’s throne and the Weirdom’s Mastery;
- reputedly possesses the oldest eye-stave in the world (Morgan Abyss, the Death’s Head Hellion, had it in Hellion);
- directly descended from the Sarpedon underclass who, as revealed in Hellion, are inclined to worship Thrygragos Lazareme since they see him as the Male Entity;

— Capputis, teenage, apparent clone with an overlarge head (hydrocephalus), scaly skin and gills behind his ears
- claims to have been bred amphibious deliberately so as to become Weir’s ambassador to the Hidden Headworld’s mostly Akadan-based, undersea realms, who tend to be anti-Godbadian;
