Cast of Characters

Meet the Cast

Marika will meet a variety of characters throughout her journey. Not everyone is against her!

We won’t list all of the characters, but here are the first three key characters you will meet.

Conversing with characters is essential. Marika will gain new objectives, and unlock new areas, by talking to NPCs.

Rayda, Marika’s Mentor

Rayda is Marika’s mentor, a role he should have relinquished four years ago. He is trying to help her find a trade, but grows increasingly frustrated that she doesn’t appreciate his efforts.

Rayda will guide Marika, but he would like to see her find her place in the world.

Desaka, Marika’s Childhood Friend

Lyrikans are not raised in individual families. Instead, the entire village cooperates in raising their youngest in the Halls of Children.

Desaka was Marika’s best friend in the halls. She now runs a shop in Lyrika and has married a Vallan merchant.

Desaka’s husband, Mazen, doesn’t understand Lyrikan culture. In Vallas, children are raised in traditional families. As Lyrika is annexed, a culture clash is inevitable.

Marika can purchase supplies from Desaka’s store. She can also talk to her about her adventures.

Note! Marika can only buy items that she has learned about through her explorations. For instance, the throwing knife will not be available in Desaka’s shop until Marika finds one in an area—and, of course, also clears that area at least once.

The receipts item in her inventory will list all of the purchases that have been made.

Tip! There is enough gold in the game to max out every purchase. However, there is not enough easily obtainable gold to do this! To purchase everything, Marika will need to find money in the hard-to-reach places.

Karada, the Bully

Karada grew up in the halls with Marika. He bullied her through childhood, then disappeared for several years. He has now returned. Marika doesn’t trust him.

Character Names Fun Fact

Vallan names are nothing special. Lyrikan names, on the other hand, follow a specific rule: Masculine names end with -da. Feminine names end with -ka. The names of scholars, who are expected to stay celibate, end with -ta.
