	Male Night Callers who survive Mistress When's tortures flee, broken in body and spirit, their animal flesh torn away, never to regrow, open wounds exposed to the air, faceless faces terrifying to behold. Beast shaped masks of blood. Gone are the nights leaping between the Rooftops of the Peaks. The Broken Ones live only to visit the same torture that was visited upon them on others, though they are often too weak to manage it effectively.

	Between the Mad City and the City Slumbering wind the Ways, paths in the earth that can be traversed between the two realms in any but the Thirteenth Hour. Ways may have multiple openings at either City or only one, but each opening is covered by an artifact known as a Portal. A Portal might be a window or a door or a drain pipe or the mouth of an ale mug. The only way into a Way is to find and handle it's Portal.

	Delicately wrought of copper, brass, and iron to perfectly resemble and mimic actual insects - flies, roaches, locusts, centipedes - Clockwork Insects can be found in abundance everywhere within the Bizarre Bazaar, flitting about, examining everything, suddenly there and suddenly gone. But it is when they are spotted outside the Bazaar that they are most valuable. If a Clockwork Insect is seen outside the Bizarre Bazaar it means that a hidden entrance to the Bazaar is close at hand. The ~~Awake~~ can use these sightings to enter the Bazaar. This does not require a dice roll, merely a willingness to follow the Clockwork Insect where it leads.

The Jack is a wispy black figure with one eye that glows like embers in the skeletal head that floats above his shoulders, the other socket dark and empty. Brands tattoo every inch of his hide, glowing and fading like red-orange coals, echoing his every breath.

	The Jack bears no weapons, and for all that his form takes on the vital aspects of a spectre, he has never been known to directly assault any. A confrontation with the Jack is a confrontation of subtlety and magics. Whispers of the mind, a snort of breath, a flick of his fingers; the elements of earth and ice and fire are the Keeper's to command.
