Reoccurring Locations

Mirror Realm

    In General 
  • Mirror Self: Literally every character in this realm is this to someone in the main realm.
  • Mirror Universe: Literally what this place is.
  • Palette Swap: Quite a few of them have their colors inverted.

    Drakath The Champion of Order 
In the Mirror Realm, he defends the land alongside the 13 Lords of Order after King Alteon killed his father. He also states that the Chaos Drakath may have a similar power to his.
  • Big Good: In the Mirror Realm he is the ultimate force for good.
  • Good Doppelganger: As the main Drakath is the overall Big Bad who leads the forces of Chaos, naturally his reflection in the Mirror Realm would be the embodiment of good.
  • The Unreveal: He asks the Hero if his dark counterpart has a specific power...but then states "Never Mind."
    • It seems he was asking about Drakath able to create portals into the Mirror World, since he swapped the original Xang for the one in the Mirror World.

    Gravelyn the Good 
She is in charge of Brightfall, the good allegiance in the Mirror Realm, taking over from her father Sepulchure the Doomlight who sacrificed himself to save Drakath from Alteon the Unbalanced.
  • Action Girl: This is shared with her main counterpart.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Becomes willingly corrupted by Malgor's influence during the Shadows of War arc, supposedly so that the Shadowfire onslaught will spare the rest of the Mirror Realm once the Amulet of Chaos has been captured.
  • Light Is Good: Heavily associated with light and is the symbolism of the forces of good in the Mirror Realm. Her hair is white, and most of her armor is as well.
  • Sent Into Hiding: Kept secret for years, with her existence only becoming common knowledge after his death and her ascension to the throne of the Shadowscythe Empire. The reason for all this secrecy isn't known until the second part of the Doomwood saga where it's revealed that she is the Champion of Light, the only thing keeping the Realm of Darkness from destroying the world, and the reason that Sepulchure didn't kill her was out of love for both her and her mother Lynaria.

    Dage the Good 
High Lord of the Light Legion. This Dage is celestial who frees captured souls.

    Lords of Order 
The 13 Lords of Order (although we only see 6 of them) help Drakath fight off King Alteon. They were captured, but were freed by the Hero.

    Mirror Cysero and Mirror Warlic 
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Mirror Warlic is the one with a few screws loose rather than Cysero.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's Blue to Warlic's Red made even more confusing when he is wearing red while his personality is blue. He's also quite sane unlike his regular incarnation.
  • Totally Radical: Mirror Warlic speaks like this.

    King Alteon the Imbalanced 
  • Big Bad: of AdventureQuest Worlds 2nd Birthday
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: During the Mirror Realm Invasion, he teams up with the Queen of Monsters, the Chronomancer, and Dage the Evil.
  • Evil Overlord: A cruel tyrant who rules and oppresses the Mirror Realm.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: He tries to destroy all of reality twice. The first time he tries to use the power of the Lords of Order to punch a hole into the Chaos Realm to release Chaks Energy that would disintegrate the Mirror Realm. The second time he makes puts Dages in one room together, which begins destabilizing reality and threatening both realms.

    Undead Artix 
Alteon's strongest minion, this Artix is an Undead Abomination.
  • Black Knight: A monstrous undead knight.
  • Casting a Shadow: The Shadowreaper of Doom, the corrupted version of the Blinding Light of Destiny.

    Other Mirror Realm Denizens 

Mirror Zorbak

Mirror Beleen

  • Foil: Her fashion style is black, unlike her pink loving counterpart.

Lycan Queen Safiria

The Undead Legion

    Dage the Evil 
The Dark Lord of the Undead Legion, Dage the Evil. He can be found hiding out in Shadowfall, willing to give players who find him an upgrade of their Undead Warrior armors they bought for AC's after they pass a series of trials set up for them by himself. He has a long-standing rivalry with his former master, the Abyss General, Nulgath.
  • Affably Evil: Supposed to be evil, but usually one of the Hero's allies. Only time he isn't is in two-sided wars where you can choose to side with or oppose him.
  • Ascended Fanboy: On a meta level, Dage was once a regular player and fan of Artix Entertainment games, before his impressive art skills got him noticed and hired by the company.
  • Author Avatar: Of the real life Dage, who is a lead artist for Artix Entertainment.
  • Bad Boss: According to the description for one of his quests, he says that the Undead Legion does not tolerate failure and therefore does not wish for those aiming to join the Legion to fail and therefore end up meeting the same fate as the Undead Champions down in BattleUnder B.
  • Badass Boast: He pulls off an awesome one directed towards the Beast as he is draining souls from it to reclaim the Undead Legion and the other half of his soul from it.
    The Beast: Who do you think you are?! You belong to me!
    Dage: I am Dage the Evil! Breaker of Contracts. Ruler of the Underworld. Lord of the Legion. Bound to NONE! I am not half of your soul. You are half of mine! And it is time that you return to your rightful place!
  • Big Damn Heroes: Dage pulls a very awesome moment like this when he shows up just in time to help defeat the Beast, and it's thanks to how much the players have weakened it that he was able to take the other half of his soul AND his legion back without its influence over him.
  • Color Motif: He and the Legion are associated with the color blue.
  • The Comically Serious: He's dead serious, even when some minions have comedic traits. He doesn't approve of humor within the Undead Legion, as shown when Laken cuts down a Legion Judge for talking about ponies and lollipops.
  • Dark Is Evil: Very clearly sided with evil, and lives is an undead creature of darkness who resides in the underworld.
  • Dem Bones: Underneath his helm, he's just a skeleton.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: As J6's House of Horrors shows, there is something that even Dage is terrified of and will run in fear from. He's also disgusted by how his future self let himself be driven mad by the power he gained from his successes which is what leads him to decide on changing his fate, and he sincerely apologizes to Ada for Laken's death since he knew it was necessary due to knowledge that a legion run by a broken and insane Laken would threaten not just the World Soul but also all of Lore. Such a shame that Ada rejected his apology and swore vengeance on him and those who sided with him in putting her father figure down instead.
  • Evil Laugh: Has a vocal one in Frostval 2013 "Dark Winter" and Dage's Birthday 2017 "Future Legion".
  • Evil Overlord: Or, should we say, Dark Lord of the Undead Legion.
  • Evil Versus Evil: His long running war with Nulgath is this.
  • Evil Wears Black: Wears a helm and cape, dressed in dark colors, and Was Once a Man.
  • Expressive Mask: His helm actually, with the visor changing shape if he's "smiling" of "laughing".
  • Future Me Scares Me: Not so much scaring, but Present Dage is disgusted by what he becomes in the future and wishes to change his fate.
  • If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: For as long as he's used his current form, Dage wanted nothing more than to become strong enough to defeat Nulgath ever since he betrayed him. But once he sees for himself that his future self in 3017 has become everything he's hated about Nulgath, he ultimately comes to understand the requirement for balance between the living and the dead and thus abandons his desire to continue his enmity with him and decides to opt for a different way to free himself from Nulgath's contract instead.
  • I Hate Past Me: Future Dage thinks of Present Dage as weak and worthless.
  • Kick the Dog: At least a few times in the Frostval 2013 event (he hasn't been seen doing it anytime else). What's the first thing he does after Nippy greets him with a Frostval gift? He throws him off a cliff, followed by his present itself (after which Nippy is later turned undead).
    • He later throws a Legion Minion off a cliff for failing him after Frostfang has been defeated (See You Have Failed Me below).
  • Lack of Empathy: He certainly shows no regrets for anybody willing to sell their souls to him to join the Undead Legion. According to the item description for the Undead Champion armor, he believes that remorse is a sign of weakness, and weakness is not tolerated. That aside, however, he does give a sincere apology to Ada for the fact that there's no way around ultimately having to give a Mercy Kill to Laken when he gives in to his insanity, which Ada, unfortunately for him, refuses to accept out of refusal to forgive him for what happened to her caretaker.
  • My Future Self and Me: In Dage's Birthday 2017, Dage and the Hero are summoned to the future by a Future Laken to help prevent a Bad Future. They're too late, and Future Dage has devoured everyone in existence. But they still try to stop Future Dage to prevent him from doing the same thing to other timelines. Present Dage and Future Dage do battle with one another.
  • Obviously Evil: His skull-covered armor and demonic horns sure are a dead giveaway. Of course, however, like Nulgath, he doesn't kick dogs whatsoever (save for the 2013 Frostval event when he throws Nippy, his Frostval gift, and later one Legion Minion who had failed him off a cliff), let alone cross the depravity line.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: In a Bad Future during the year 3017, it's revealed that once Dage obtained the other half of his soul and defeated Nulgath, he would go on to devour the soul of everyone in the world. Once he lays waste to one world, he'd travel to another timeline and begin feeding there too.
  • Pet the Dog: While Dage is evil, he is kind enough to lend you some rare items on his birthday.
  • Physical God: Not a true God, but the fact he conquered the underworld and has control over many powerful beings like Thanatos and the Horsemen, really emphasizes just how much power this guy has.
  • The Rival: To Nulgath.
    • In the past, he also had another rival named Blightbringer, whom he had Rand deal with and kill for him.
  • Smug Super: He is indeed VERY confident that he will show Nulgath that the student has surpassed the master.
  • The Soulless: He gave up his soul for power.
  • The Starscream: He originally served as Nulgath's apprentice, but secretly planned to learn what he needed before betraying his master. His quest to be so started a rivalry between the two that eventually graduated into an all-out war for the Underworld.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: After the Dage's Birthday 2017 event, Future Legion, once Dage defeats Future Dage and sees what he has become, Dage has an epiphany. His end goal is no longer seeking more power, he's uncertain if defeating Nulgath is the right decision since it broke Future Dage, and he now accepts there must be a balance between the living and the dead with Lore rightfully belonging to the living.
  • Villain Respect: Regardless of whether or not you're on his side, Dage clearly has respect for the Hero.
  • You Are What You Hate: Dage notes that after Future Dage defeated Nulgath, he became just like Nulgath, the very thing Dage despised. This thoroughly disgusts Present Dage.
  • You Have Failed Me: In the Frostval 2013 event, he throws a Legion Minion off a cliff in the same manner that he did with Nippy and his Frostval gift at the beginning of the adventure after Frostfang's defeat at the hero's hands.
  • Your Soul Is Mine!: He has a rather strong obsession with collecting them.

    Assorted Characters 

Rogath

Associated tropes:

  • Cool Sword: His Caladbolg weapon, which, surprisingly, all Skull Warriors who are others like him wield.
  • King Mook: He's actually a generic Skull Warrior who provides heroes with shops and quests.
  • Skull for a Head

The Stranger / Laken

Associated tropes:

Rand Ravenson

A farm boy who lost his home, family, and friends when his hometown, Ravenscar Village, was attacked and destroyed by Blightbringer's undead army. He teamed up with Dage the Evil, who wanted to help him make Blightbringer pay for all the damage he had done. It turns out that Dage had him defeat Blightbringer for him so he could recruit him as the first member of his Undead Legion.

Associated Tropes:

  • Fantastic Racism: His hatred towards the undead when they destroyed his village. In the end, however, he was turned undead by Dage before he could gain Blightbringer's power, and was forced to serve Dage in undeath.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: His successful revenge against Blightbringer with Dage's help is what made him into Dage's first recruit... but not before he disposed of him and turned him undead because he didn't want him to become another competitor with him due to just having defeated one competitor once.
  • Revenge: He's plenty pissed off at the undead and Blightbringer for what they did to Ravenscar, and he lets them know of this in no uncertain terms.

The Horsemen of the Undead Apocalypse

A group of four of Dage's most loyal servants, these undead centaur-looking god-like beings serve to test the skills of the players in combat. They appear in Dage's 2014 birthday event.

Associated Tropes:

  • Light Is Not Good: Conquest. According to the item descriptions for his capes, his clothing is made of bright white underworld heat, which is often mistaken for angelic light.
  • Playing with Fire: War's flaming sword.
  • Skull for a Head: Famine and Death. War also has one under his helmet, as shown in the armor.

The Beast

Long ago, before wars were fought for control of the underworld, and before civilization gained form, the legendary cataclysmic titan known simply as the Beast roamed Lore, attacking villages and stealing souls while allowing none to pass over to the afterlife until Nulgath, enlisted by Death, defeated it and split its soul in two. One half of its souls contained cunning and a thirst for conquest that was given to a cursed king who would in undeath become Dage the Evil, while the other contained its hunger for souls and was sealed away in a portion of the underworld known as the Seven Circles. Now, the Beast is attempting to break free from its chains and devour its other half, Dage himself, and it's up to the players to explore the Seven Circles and stop the Beast's escape by confronting and defeating it deep within the seventh circle of the underworld.

Associated Tropes:

  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: This creature is perhaps one of the biggest-sized monsters in the game, towering over all players and fought in a giant-sized room.
  • Big "NO!": The Beast screams three instances of this when Dage drains so many souls from it that it ends up being turned to stone.
  • Damage-Sponge Boss: Not only does this thing have ridiculously high amounts of health, its damage output is also ridiculously high, and you definitely want to recommend some Void Highlords and Legion Revenants to help you out as the Beast is considered by far one of the most difficult bosses in the game.
  • Eldritch Abomination: This is a massive calamity in Undead Abomination form that, in the past, destroyed many villages and stole so many souls, and even the fiend swarms sent by Nulgath weren't enough to stop its hunger! It took Nulgath himself slicing its soul in two to finally stop it, and its hunger was sealed away and is now trying to break free from its chains and consume Dage himself. And the closer Dage gets to the Beast, the more influence it has over him, until the players weaken it through battle.
  • Faux Affably Evil: It acts friendly around the players while talking about making paradise, but the charm it emits from its sentences are just a simply scathing act as part of its eagerness to devour their souls knowing that they are the reincarnations of the Eternal Dragon of Time. Luckily, Dage's Big Damn Heroes moment quickly fixes things up.
  • Take Over the World: The Beast plans to "make Lore its paradise" alongside its desire to consume Dage as well as the soul of the Eternal Dragon of Time that lies within the players.
  • Taken for Granite: It suffers this fate after Dage has drained enough souls from it and taken the souls of the Undead Legion back from it.
  • Villain Has a Point: Yes, this thing is definitely out to bring calamity to all of Lore, but it feels rather nice to hear from it that the players are driven by pride that drives them to commit heroic deeds, envy that makes them want to strike down foes for their power, and greed for power and rewards that drive them even further.
  • Villainous Breakdown: The Beast loses its composure when Dage starts draining souls from it, and as he continues to do so, it only gets even worse before it turns to stone.
  • Your Soul Is Mine!: In the past, the Beast demolished entire villages and stole many souls, forbidding all to pass over to the afterlife. In the present, it wants to devour Dage to become whole again, and is interested in stealing the soul of the Eternal Dragon of Time as well.

Tercessuinotlim

    Nulgath 
Nulgath is a fiend of the Underworld and a General of the Abyss. He rules the hidden realm known as Tercessuinotlim. He was formerly known in his previous form as Miltonius. His rival is, no doubt, his former student, Dage the Evil.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Dage the Evil. Interesting enough to note that both call each other "pretenders" to the title of Lord of Evil, which inspires their rivalry.
  • Author Avatar: Of the real life Nulgath who is an artist for Artix Entertainment. He also took in the real life Dage as his apprentice artist, which is what the master-apprentice relatioship between Nulgath and Dage was inspired by.
  • Affably Evil: Players have the option of joining Nulgath.
  • Didn't See That Coming: When Nulgath tries to return to Lore by merging the Chaos of OverSoul with the Chaos on Lore using a Chaos artifact, he is caught completely off-guard by Beleen barging in squeeing over the pink chaos eye, and accidentally taking the chaos powers for herself.
  • Disappointed in You: States this to Dage during their final battle, just before some of his followers reveal themselves to be working with Dage now, to Nulgath's surprise.
  • Evil Is Hammy: In sterotypical villain fashion, he loves boasting about how terrifyingly evil he is.
  • Evil Overlord: He once ruled over Lore, and later the OverSoul.
  • Extra Eyes: Has six slitted demonic eyes on his head.
  • Fountain of Youth: Chaos Queen Beleen turns him into a cute chibi baby ArchFiend
  • Evil Versus Evil: His long running war with Dage the Evil is this.
  • Invincible Villain: Is regularly impossible to defeat, unless you're able to avoid all of his attacks and make yourself invincible to them.
  • Obviously Evil: He's a demon and his title is Abyss General. What else would you expect?
  • Our Demons Are Different: He's called an ArchFiend but he pretty much fits all the other demon aspects.
  • Satan: He does make some deals however he has a Master that may fit the trope.
  • Stern Teacher: And a patient one to those loyal to him.
  • Sweet Tooth: Heavily implied, given the flavor text and copious amounts of chocolate-related items needed to complete many of his quests, or to merge high-level items. There's even a purchasable chocolate shaped after himself that any aspiring Void Highlords would need to obtain the class.
  • This Means War!: Nulgath declares war on Dage in the first part of the "Master of the Underworld" saga after the latter has betrayed the Nulgath Nation, started making his own army (later known as the Undead Legion), and slain the Commandant who was loyal to the former and converted his soul to his cause.
    Nulgath: So it is a war that Dage wants? Fine! I will bring it to him! Fiends of the Nation! Void Knights! Hexes! Rise! We shall rain death and destruction upon the Traitor! We shall pluck his soul from his husk and then... YOU! SHALL! FEAST!
  • Villain of Another Story: He once ruled over Lore before being banished to the OverSoul by Dage the Evil, Artix, and other heroes of Lore.
  • Wowing Cthulhu: Nulgath is impressed upon hearing news of the destruction of one of his Fiend Shards courtesy of the heroes and the Oversoul spirit, stating that he doesn't punish strength as the heroes know and reasoning that they stuck with its plan to prove their strength to him and deciding that he'd just have to make his followers' tasks more difficult from that point onward. His master Adimonde finds it interesting that he wasn't furious at all with them for daring to betray him like that.

  • Captain Ersatz: of Edward Cullen he even sparkles
  • The Starscream: He is the boss of the Vampire/Lycan War, who took up Wolfwing's offer to assassinate Safiria after his girlfriend Beulah left him for a werewolf, with hopes of turning the war between the two night-breeds into an even deadlier one so that neither of the clans can bother Wolfwing again. He reappears in a Mogloween event.
  • Your Vampires Suck: Having him be Safiria's greatest warrior, only to betray her so you can beat him up.

    Vampire Lord Incubus

The niece of Safiria and later the new Vampire Queen.
  • Affably Evil: Much like her aunt, she's a vampire and isn't really allied with good, but is never the villain either.

  • Fantastic Racism: As to be expected from a vampire, she despises werewolves. She refuses to let Constantin and his werewolf crew board her ship, even after Solani informs her they aided the vampires escape.
  • Friendly Pirate: Considering she's a pirate and a vampire, she's extremely generous to the Hero. She offers a place in her crew and plenty of gold in exchange for allegiance, unlike Flintfang who treats the Hero like a slave and uses death threats to keep them compliant.

  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Like many vampires, her eyes are red.
  • Talk Like a Pirate: Significantly less than most Artix Entertainment pirates, but it's still there.

    Count Maxius 
A Vampire Lord who was banished to Gehenna by Safiria after challenging her to a fight and losing. When the Blood Moon rises over Lore, he seeks to begin a ritual that will allow him to return to Lore for good.
  • Affably Evil: He's so charismatic, charming, and friendly that it's easy to forget he's trying to kill you as a sacrifice to bring himself back to Lore permanently, and he had Voltaire use his wicked imagination to produce monsters to keep Kimberly playing her music (with spikes threatening to crush her should she stop playing), which was keeping Constantin lying in wait for the hero should he/she escape their prison, and even brainwashed Bubble and her cat with the same name as her and yet he still manages to continue to be polite and friendly despite all that. Even Safiria admits that everyone loves him despite him hiding his darker side from other people. Ultimately, however, he drops all his affability and flies into a rage once the hero knocks out Barnabus, whom he loves as his butler very much.
  • Badass Boast: Gives one to the hero and his/her troupe during his Villainous Breakdown.
    Maxius: I am older and more powerful than you could ever imagine. I have survived for hundreds of years, exiled, isolated in a land filled with only the dead. Do you really think that YOU could stop someone like ME?

  • Critical Existence Failure: Disappears in a bright light once you defeat him for the second time.
  • Dark Is Evil: He uses black smoke and bats as a way of appearing and disappearing.
  • A Father to His Men: He really loves his friends, his guests, and his butler, so when you defeat all of them, he flies into a rage over all of that and not only makes his face more demonic but also sprouts wings at the same time as a result.
  • Large Ham: Some of his lines and words can be said in all caps, especially as shown during his Villainous Breakdown.
  • One-Winged Angel: He still retains his usual appearance, but once he gets angry, his face becomes more menacing with Glowing Eyes of Doom and he sprouts a pair of wings.
  • Papa Wolf: Maxius gets upset when you harm his friends in any way, but hurting his butler is more than enough to get him so pissed off that he goes One-Winged Angel.
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Once he sees what you've done to Barnabus, he shouts "HOW. DARE. YOU?" in ALL CAPS at the beginning of his Villainous Breakdown as a setup for his One-Winged Angel transformation.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He was banished to Gehenna after losing a fight against Safiria, where he was forced to survive for 150 years isolated in a land of the dead. It took the most recent Blood Moon rising over Lore for him to temporarily return to Lore, and, knowing that it would be another 150 years before he could return, he attempts to make the hero the sacrifice that will return him to Lore for good. His plan to do so is foiled by the hero, Constantin, Kimberly, Voltaire, Bubble, and Safiria's ghost, and he ends up becoming that sacrifice instead.
  • This Cannot Be!: Screams this when you defeat him for the second time, just before achieving Critical Existence Failure, which ends up setting him up as the sacrifice to begin his ritual, which, according to Barnabus, was not the one he wanted nor expected.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He drops all of his affability once you take out his butler Barnabus, resulting in him becoming so angry that he actually proceeds to go One-Winged Angel as a result. And once you defeat him a second time after that, he screams his disbelief that he lost before being sacrificed to begin his own ritual that Safiria finishes for him to bring herself back.
  • Villainous Friendship: He's very close to his butler Barnabus. So much so that Barnabus getting knocked out in battle leads him to get well and truly furious, thinking that you've killed him, and going One-Winged Angel as a result.
  • You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: He knows you're wondering how someone so affable, charming, and charismatic could be anything but a friend, and when you knock out Barnabus, he states that you've never seen him when he's angry. The name of the cutscene where he drops all of his affability and loses his temper over Barnabus' defeat is even called "You wouldn't like me...”
