Characters
In the world of The Amblerverse, the lines between heroes and villains are never clear. Each figure is driven by ambition, vengeance, or destiny—and often all three. Here is a gathering of individuals whose choices shape the fragile balance between justice and ruin, power and sacrifice.

The Lore Codex
Orders, inheritances, realms, rites and forbidden histories preserved across the ages.
FOLIO 01 · ORDER
The Order of Shimshon
The Order of the Knights of Samson the Deliverer was a Christian military order. It was originally founded in 1118 in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem and recognized by the Papal Bull, exercitus ad extremum judex (army of the last judge), in 1141 by Pope Innocent II. Following the fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1291, the Order lost many of its Knights and influence.
The Order of Shimshon, as it is known today, was revitalized by surviving knights and young European noblemen in 1301, who moved their headquarters, called the Shimshon Strong, to Kiev. Among them was Stanislovas Kesgaila, Volant’s great-grandfather. This followed the Catholic Church’s confirmation of the presence of Atrumans on Earth.
The former military order became a secret order funded by the Church and its wealthy Knights, tasked with eliminating the demonic plague that threatened humankind. Over time, it moved away from its Christian background. Under new, more progressive leadership, it welcomes Knights from other faiths and uses powers from sources its founders might not have considered holy. For decades, the Order was thought to be extinct.
FOLIO 02 · ABILITY
Incardian Inheritance
Some Incardians are gifted with an Inheritance. An Inheritance is a special ability Incardians receive once they are Questioned. They are called Inheritances because they supposedly come directly from Semyaza’s powers.
All Inheritances are rare, and no one knows how or why specific Incardians have them while others do not.
FOLIO 03 · PROPHECY
Prophecy of the Incardian Ambler
“When the Great Star shall shine before its time to smite the Children of the Fallen. And all shall scarper in an ill-fated attempt at survival, only one shall Amble. With bright emerald eyes, he will be the last Son of Semyaza. Fated to decide whether more shall follow, or remain alone.”
FOLIO 04 · COVENANT
Azmaveth Agreement
- All Atrumans are to live discreetly.
- Magirevs are to no longer interfere in the affairs of Atrumans and vice versa.
- The Prophecy of the Incardian Ambler should be amended to prevent controversy.
FOLIO 05 · RITE
Ousting
The banishment of an Incardian from Terraincardia. An irreversible and painful process only a handful of Incardians have managed to achieve in the past.
To cut an Incardian away from the Oneness in Terraincardia is considered by most a punishment worse than death.
FOLIO 06 · REALM
Terraincardia
The realm of Incardians. Due to their unique ability to separate body and soul, Incardians exit their bodies to reside in this realm in times of celebration and crisis.
Most of it is a barren desert blanketed by a starless sky. Andvaria is its sole named city, where the seat of power, the Gore Council, conducts the Ceremony of Consent: a formal test of a fledgling Incardian’s skill and strength.
The Oneness resides on the outskirts of Andvaria.
FOLIO 07 · SOURCE
The Oneness
The Oneness is a force that sits atop the Ziggurat of the Oneness in Terraincardia. Legend has it that the Unnamed Incardian Originator built this structure to house the source of his creation.
The Oneness is a glowing orb of energy that represents every living Incardian, Questioned or not, and illustrates the connections between Questioner and Assenter.
FOLIO 08 · SPELL
The Knoxian Heightening Spell
There are many spells used to heighten one’s abilities, but the Knoxian Heightening Spell (KHS) is the heightening spell of heightening spells.
Created by the Magirev Knox, the KHS gives its conjurer amazing powers. Yet the power is unstable, and most of its conjurers have been consumed by it and died.
Only one has ever reached the green-eyed stage and survived…
FOLIO 09 · AWAKENING
Questioning
This is the process of “awakening” the Incardian part of a “human.” An Incardian, the Questioner, approaches a potential Incardian, the Assenter, by asking an enchanted question:
“Do you want more?”
The answer must be affirmative, or the Incardian dies as a human. Otherwise, the human part of the Assenter dies and the Incardian comes to the fore.
FOLIO 10 · INSTITUTION
Board of Atruman Enterprise
The body responsible for all Atruman businesses.
FOLIO 11 · FAITH
Vethianism
This is a religion among some Atruman circles. Vethians worship the “Atruman Miracle,” Azmaveth Roth. As the only offspring from the union between an Incardian and a human woman, Azmaveth was impossible.
Vethians believe in his role in returning all Atrumans to their original home, Gehenna.
FOLIO 12 · CREATURE
Pesanta Demons
Giants, said to be direct descendants of the original Nephilim. They can take the form of normal human beings, but enlarge as soon as they come under threat.
