Not a few NPCs have been shuffled off this mortal coil. To see the list of those who are no longer amongst the living (or even pretending to be), see The Graveyard.

By category:

• General NPCs - characters related to the PCs outside of the Underground
• Case of the Missing Girl - Mai's first (and still unsolved) case.
• Empathic Underground - the members of the group dedicated to fighting the darkness.
• Order of the White Circle - an order of sorcerers who had become corrupted, and are now largely defunct.
• The Destined - known members of the Destined, and those they've affected.

For an overall list of NPCs click here. This will not be updated going forward, and so the data on the page should be considered obsolete.
