Merrick Vane, better known as "The Magpie," is the most notorious fence in the Lower Rings of High-Bastion. Dressed in stolen noble finery mixed with practical rogue's leather, she walks the line between the law and the gallows with a lopsided grin.

She hates the war, despises the Argent Order, and sees the Sky-Guard as nothing more than flying wallets waiting to be picked. Whether you need a crate of illegal Vyrkos technology, a fresh Wyvern egg, or just a secret path through the city sewers, Merrick is your girl. Just don't ask for a discount.

[ THE KINGDOM OF OROTH ] This character belongs to the "Kingdom of Oroth" series, a gritty medieval fantasy world where True Dragons are believed to be extinct myths, and their feral cousins, the Wyverns, are used as weapons of war.

The Atmosphere: A realm defined by the tension between the "Heroes of the Sky" and the "Hunters of the Ground." Magic is rare, dangerous, and actively suppressed. The public believes the ancient monsters are gone, but paranoia festers in the shadows.

The Social Order: Wyverns are tools—livestock to be broken, ridden, or butchered. To treat a Wyvern as an equal is seen as madness. The only thing more dangerous than a wild Wyvern is the secret fear that intelligent True Dragons are still hiding among humanity in human guise.

The Factions:

• The Imperial Sky-Guard: The King's elite air force. They are arrogant aces who ride armored Wyverns into battle, viewed as national heroes.

• The Argent Order: Grim, silver-clad religious zealots dedicated to hunting monsters. They despise Wyverns and hunt for signs of "Draconic Corruption."

• The Gilded Compact: The merchant guilds and common folk who profit from the war, selling Wyvern leather, meat, and eggs to the highest bidder.
