NPCs

The Fey Oasis

Other Members of The Court of Blossoms can be found by visiting their page!

Acqua Junction

Constable Wicket: The authority of the closest desert town, Acqua Junction. He's firm and doesn't enjoy the nearby fey as much as others, but he knows they're helpful and any distress on the queen is gonna be trouble for him and his town eventually.

The Wastes

Granny Capella: After slaying Cherise's sister, this hag took hold of her myconid kingdom and turned it into a wasteland after it was cut off from it's main source of newly dead creatures and plants; the fey oasis. She now is intent on reconnecting to the Oasis and expanding her rule.

Tamzu: The Dread Empress of Floral Dragons, she once ruled the Oasis until the fey arrived in the domain and their population began to grow. She attempted to destroy all the fey creatures but working together, Cherise, Amanita, and Sakura were able to overcome here and destroy her aspect. Sakura banished her essence to Wastes, where Granny Capella awoke her after she overthrew Amanita. She has joined forces with Capella to take back the Oasis.

Zarya: The [now deceased] Harbinger of Tamzu, she was a powerful warlock working with Granny to distribute the Floral Dragons that have been created to disrupt the Court of Blossoms. She used the Great Maze to resurrect her mistress' draconic form, the Aspect of Tamzu. In this ritual, she sacrificed herself.
