==At the Abbey==
*'''Armand (Father), the Abbot'''. The Abbot of St. Alcuin is a serious and stern man. He has taken the production of the Heartstone Codex as his life's mission, believing that he is engaged in bringing Huth's words to mankind. Ever since the Abbey was ordered to send the Codex to Hugaar, some six months ago (Armand refused), he and Emert have argued non-stop.

*'''Emert (Brother), the Prophet''' Once a Stone Scholar, the giant scribe Emert now sees out the end of his days at St. Alcuin. History and experience is etched into his skin, which is is tough and always seems to be covered in dust. He is bent over and his eyesight is now very poor. He brought Tyrrha from Kuril to St. Alcuin and taught her and the other scribes their art.

*'''Furlip (Oi you!)''', Crippled goblin who looks after the horses at St. Alcuin's. He was taken is as a child after being left to die by his clan.

*'''Slovod (Brother), The Scribe'''. Slovod is (rightly) proud of his penwork. He has been contributing reluctantly to the Codex these past few years, having vowed obedience. He has complained, most especially about the illustrative and iconographic aspects of the work, all the way, and has blotted more pages than ever before.

*'''Stellin (Brother), The Repentant'''. A one-armed veteran of the eastern campaign, Brother Stellin does menial chores at the Abbey of St. Alcuin and has taken a vow of silence while he reflects on past sins.

*'''Tyrrha, the Illuminator'''. Tyrrha is a scribe and illuminator of precocious talent. She is a ward of old Emert and would only just be of an age to wed. She has fair skin and hair, as is typical of the Kuril Sird, and affects to wear a veil, in reference to Sta. Mineera.
