| * **The Empress**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. Relatively young and new to the throne, she maintains the limits on magic set down by her forebears, fearful of the power and danger of magic used freely. As the city descends into chaos, she struggles to maintain control. | * **The Empress**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>.

| - | * **The Reaper**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. A great magic-user and a tycoon in Spiral, they have been mining and stockpiling Pearlescence for a while now. To them, the beast represents a jackpot of sorts, and they lobby with all their political might to keep it alive - if only so they can make a profit. | + | * <del>**The Reaper**:</del> <color red><del>**Not Playable**</del></color>. <del>A great magic-user and a tycoon in Spiral, they have been mining and stockpiling Pearlescence for a while now.

| * **The Magician**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. A far-off adventurer that has begrudgingly come back to the city of Spiral as a ‘technical expert’, but they only want to get out again. They have seen things far beyond the city’s white lies, but they are always pushed aside for their fantastical ramblings. Why should they help such ignorant people, even in their greatest time of need? | * **The Magician**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>.

| - | * **The Hierophant**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. Head of the Temple and stuck in their ways, they certainly aren’t the most impressionable of merfolk and simply continue to make their archaic decrees for an empire that no longer exists. As the beast rises and the water falls, perhaps it is time for them to realise the true wisdom behind their out-of-date practices. | + | * **<del>The Hierophant</del>**: <color red>**<del>Not Playable</del>**</color>. <del>Head of the Temple and stuck in their ways, they certainly aren’t the most impressionable of merfolk and simply continue to make their archaic decrees for an empire that no longer exists.

| - | * **The Wheel**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. Somewhat mysterious, a self-proclaimed Voice of the People. They have been lobbying for a long time for the restrictions on the distribution of Pearlescence to be lifted for the common folk. They believe this will lead to a more equal, more prosperous society. | + | * <del>**The Wheel**:</del> <color red><del>**Not Playable**</del></color>. <del>Somewhat mysterious, a self-proclaimed Voice of the People.

| * **The High Priestess**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>. A bridge between the people and the Spirits of the Sea. Dwells closer to the Deep than is normal. Some look to her as a voice of reason and a guide to a better future, but her words are often cryptic, and the Spirits themselves do not often agree. | * **The High Priestess**: <color red>**Not Playable**</color>.

| * **Chapter 2**: A meeting of the grand council declares that the Fool and the Magician may take on the beast, but only under the discretion of the Empress and the Hierophant. Meanwhile, the Reaper's Pearlescence proposal contrasts with the doomsaying High Priestess. | * **Chapter 2**: A meeting of the grand council declares that the Fool and the Magician may take on the beast, but only under the discretion of the Empress and the Hierophant.

| + | * **Chapter 3**: Chaos reigns in the city as the revolution has taken hold, though the destruction of the Temple and the death of the Hierophant has turn the people against the Wheel. As the Empress and the Reaper are holed up in the palace, the Fool and the Magician prepare to do battle with not one beast, but many. | ||

| + | * **Chapter 4**: The city of Spiral is finally united against the Beasts - though in one last act of violence both The Reaper and The Wheel have been killed. With the true nature of the Beasts revealed, will the united force of the city be able to stop them? Or will they choose another path? | ||

Each new chapter will be mutable for a time, as Jo leaves it open for editing, and Muses may push the Narrative one way or another. | As Jo writes the Magnum Opus, new Chapters will take shape.
