Abasdarhon's Castle

Map 1, map 2

Alisson has poor memories of his childhood. Only that there was a lot... of everything. A little Elven boy, regardless of how he came to the cultists of Jolai, was clearly a very desirable and successful acquisition for them. This same childhood, among other things, gave Alisson a quirk — he hates any form of physical intimacy with people, even banal touches. Ironic, given his skills in this very area... But let's speak in order.

The boy, although subjected to various humiliations, was on the other hand pitied by the cultists in their own way. And why not, you don't find such unique material every day! If one overdoes it and a beautiful Elf dies, or becomes disabled, or even just gets a nervous tic — well, the other cultists might actually kill you for that. But the then-head of the local cult cell tested his weakness for little Alisson the most. As soon as the boy complained about someone with sad eyes, the Jolai could tell without any guessing who would be sacrificed at the next gathering.
It goes without saying that the guy, embittered by his unenviable fate, decided to ease his suffering somewhere and began to brazenly manipulate the cultists. Perhaps not immediately, perhaps he had to overcome his sense of disgust and accept their philosophy for this, but in the end Alisson grew up and successfully overthrew the previous leader, moreover almost bloodlessly (he only sacrificed the leader himself and two of his loyal followers who decided to resist).

In general, Alisson's past contains no more interesting or decent details. It is only worth adding that recently he grew bored with all the entertainment the cult could offer him, especially considering his own preferences, which were not quite standard for Jolai. This led to a prolonged period of apathy and a search for new, unexplored sensations — as a Jolai truly cannot live without the latter. Strangely enough, cats, of which he acquired a considerable number, began to bring Alisson much joy. But any cat-like fur is also suitable. As a result, many Djuran skins have accumulated in the cult leader's secret lair; those are the only ones he enjoys touching with his hands. The skin of a huge maned lion is especially good.

A young member of the society of mages, she specialized in air magic, but did not have time to reach perfection in it before meeting her first Jolai cultist. Absolutely by chance — imagine, she accidentally walked onto a disadvantaged street of Aksot, looking around... Not that there was much to look at there, of course! That's when she managed to understand through analysis that one of the local residents possessed an unconventional set of skills.

Due to incredibly developed natural curiosity and a lack of brakes instilled in childhood, Vikayla became eager to join the party as well. In the society of mages, she announced that she had not progressed for too long and therefore wanted to suspend her membership. It was harder with the cultists — Alisson, who by that time was already in power, was not pleased that one of his subordinates had been so stupidly exposed (but she won't be exposed again, at any rate). However, it was not Vikayla's fault, and her intentions to join were sincere, so...

Now Viki is one of Alisson's most loyal people (and why not, such a handsome man!). An air mage, but weak; however, an elementalist, which compensates for everything. She wants to classify Jolai magic from a scientific point of view, and in principle, curiosity drives her in almost everything she does.

Korketus never liked doing any stupid farming — and he was forced to plow since childhood. Having learned a bit how to swing a weapon to protect himself, he set out on travels. The main goal of his life is to never work and generally do nothing.
He joined the Jolai shortly before Alisson seized power; in fact, he happened to participate in this coup on Alisson's side. And all because the old cult leader forced Korketus to do all sorts of stupid work, like unloading crates.
