1. #1selective

   Keys: Background, Backstory, Lore

   August is mysterious for much of the Festival, revealing little about his origins or intentions to others. He is very capable of defending himself, and will assist others when able to do so. August has a grudge against the Kaiser, and will attack him if given the opportunity to do so. He also has a special bond with Moonless, and seems able to give her orders. Has a Tormented soul. An experienced archer and survivalist. Possible descendant of Ragnvaldr, due to his appearance, fighting style, relationship with Moonless, and hatred toward Kaiser. He will prefer to refrain from participating in the festival, trying to help the participants if it's possible, but will not be afraid to kill others in intense situations. Due this, he's reluctant to work with the other contestants, as he doesn't want to get attached in case he's forced to kill them to survive the contest. Puts his goal above the lives of others. However, under some circumstances, he may change his mind and take part in the festival, starting the hunt for other participants. By the end of the third night, as Termina will come to its end, he will commit suicide, preferring death to turning into a Moonscorched.

   Keys: Kaiser, Yellow King

   The current leader of the Bremen Army. The Chancellor of the Bremen Empire, Kaiser is a mysterious individual who quickly rose to prominence after the First Great War, carried by a populist movement that demanded he be put in power. Though he is said to be a great leader and a very charismatic speaker, strange and disturbing rumors surround his rule. Some have even said that when the Bremen Council refused to elect him, he personally massacred all of them, allegedly shrugging off gunfire from the military police who tried to stop him. Some claim that Kaiser is a god, others a monster; certain fringe theorists suggest that he's part of The Fellowship, an ancient conspiracy that has secretly been controlling events in Europa for centuries. Under Kaiser's rule, the Bremen Empire unified with several neighboring states, ultimately attacking the Eastern Union and sparking the Second Great War. As he led his armies to victory, Kaiser became both feared and reviled throughout Europa, with even more rumors circulating about the "horrors" committed by his troops. In 1942, Kaiser ultimately signed a peace treaty after conquering the Bohemian city of Prehevil. Those who know the most about Kaiser understand that he is no ordinary human; his true identity is that of a prophesied warrior from the Cruel Ages who ascended to near-godhood, becoming a great warlord who wished to unite Europa under a single banner. His efforts, however, were stymied by the simultaneous ascension of the God of Fear and Hunger. Many rejected Kaiser's message in favor of the new god's, causing his attempts to unify Europa to fail and fade into obscurity. By the twentieth century, he finally claimed power over the Bremen Empire; however, humbled by his previous experiences, and with his godly abilities slowly fading, he sought to find someone who could change Europa in his stead. Kaiser ultimately found his chance with Project Logic, a secret project conducted by the Eastern Union within the tunnels beneath Prehevil. Under Logic, a single person would be chosen to be rebirthed as a "Machine God", one who would manipulate the flow of communications and information to form a greater, worldwide collective consciousness. After winning the Second Great War and seizing Prehevil, Kaiser set out to visit the city personally, hoping to direct the creation of the new deity. Unfortunately, the moon god had other plans... Was once a human named Le'garde, the former captain of the Knights of the Midnight Sun, who has ascended in the Ma'habre, after being captured in the Dungeons of Fear & Hunger

   Keys: Oldegård

   It is a frigid land area up north of the Bremen Empire and east or northeast of the Kingdom of Rondon. The Kingdom of Oldegård is renowned for its independence and its people's iron wills and advanced ships, which enabled them to navigate the previously uncharted western regions of the world. Although the Oldegårdians may have had a primitive appearance in the past, this is merely superficial. They excel as merchants and sailors, and their warriors are known for their strength and bravery, valuable resources that aid their survival in the harsh winters that the country is famous for. The kingdom boasts intriguing cultural artifacts like the Pinecone Pig amulet and folklore stories depicting the Skin Granny. Oldegård is said to have discovered the distant western continent, Vinland, in 1009. In 1577, the Oldegårdians revisited Vinland in search of resources and treasures, leading to the discovery of the Cube of the Depths artifact. Upon their return, the Knights of the Midnight Sun raided and invaded an Oldegårdian village in their pursuit of the cube, leaving Ragnvaldr as one of the few survivors of this event. During the twentieth century, Oldegård suffered greatly during the First Great War, with the northern capital having to rebuild its cities in the aftermath of the destruction. The nation would also become embroiled in the Second Great War, leading to conflict with the Bremen Empire and necessitating an alliance with Rondon and the Eastern Union.

   Keys: Moonless

   A large wolf-like creature with jutting teeth and four eyes, she was most likely mutated by the darkness of the dungeons. Moonless, a cave wolf, was once a member of a pack comprising wolves similar to herself. Her remarkable strength potentially placed her as the matriarch within the group. Nevertheless, this very strength became the cause of her expulsion, as her packmates grew wary of her power. The influence of the blackness, which brought about madness and illness to all living beings in the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, may have contributed to their decision.

   Left to wander the caves in solitude, perhaps trying to secure sustenance for herself and seeking out a new pack, she survived the events portrayed during Fear & Hunger, which took place in 1590.

   Over almost four centuries later, Moonless has undergone profound transformations. Her figure has grown into a gargantuan presence. She is now missing her bottom-right eye and two swords, Black Steel and Miasma, are partially impaled within her. The reasons behind these additional changes and the circumstances leading to her impalement remain unexplained. Equally mysterious is her presence in Prehevil and her connection to August, one of the contestants in the Festival of Termina.
