Amarantha of the Seventh Veil

Thessaly Crane
A blind oracle who reads fate in the cracks of broken porcelain, and who has seen your future in her tea cup — but won't tell you what it is until she decides you can handle it.

Peloros the Unspoken
A trickster deity from a forgotten pantheon who has survived the death of his gods by making himself too amusing to kill — now he meddles in mortal affairs out of boredom, affection, and the need to feel relevant.
