Beyond Yamato

Despite Yamato being the place where most of Log Horizon is set, it bears repeating that the Catastrophe was simply not limited to Japan in scope. Across the world, countless other players are trapped in the new world, in game servers suddenly turned real. They have all their own stories to tell, but one in particular, one of Kanami, ex-leader of the Debauchery Tea Party, bears mentioning, as the revelations during her journey to return to Japan hold wide-ranging repercussions for everyone currently trapped in the changed Elder Tale.

Kanami and her Companions

Kanami

Voiced by: Marina Inoue (Japanese), Jennifer Norton (English)

Race/Gender: Human/Female
Class/Level: Swashbuckler/Lv.90 (DTP-era)
Class/Level: Monk/Lv.90 (European server)

The de-facto leader of Debauchery Tea Party before she moved to Europe (after getting married), causing the group's members to go their separate ways. Like many of the former members of the group, Kanami is also trapped in Elder Tale, but is now determined to get back to Japan, even if she has to travel overland to do so. She does exactly that, picking up a unique group of travelling companions on the way.

---

• All There in the Manual: Her background is explained in a database entry for the TRPG; of particular note was the circumstances behind her marriage. She'd gotten caught up in a terrorist attack during a trip to Europe, and was rescued by her now-husband. When they reunited in the hospital, they instantly fell in love and she married him soon after.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: She learned this from Shiroe. She has a tendency to find out as much info as she can to be prepared for any fights she jumps into.
• Because It Amused Me: Just about all of the Tea Party's exploits in raids were because of Kanami's whims and Shiroe, KR and Indicus working to bring about whatever she wanted to happen. It also extended to real life as well, with Naotsugu reminiscing about how Kanami once dragged him, Shiroe and the other Tokyo-based DTP members to Odawara just to visit a fish paste factory.
• Blood Knight: She seems a little too eager to jump into battles, and the more outnumbered she is, the more excited she seems to get.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Leonardo is frustrated by her ability to sense people in trouble and her compulsion to immediately help them. It makes their journey to Yamato take much longer than necessary.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: Was always known by everyone around her for her very whimsical and goofy personality, with Krusty once even reminiscing about how she fell asleep during a group chat among the Yamato server's biggest players during the game era.
• Combo: Kanami's kouden is a potentially unending string of attacks that can permanently stunlock even bosses.
• Doting Parent: Kanami has a three-year-old daughter and she gushes about how cute she is, and how much she wants to show her the world of Elder Tale.
• Famed In-Story: In the anime, she's seen in very briefly in flashbacks, but is talked about quite a bit amongst Adventurers due to being the leader of the legendary Debauchery Tea Party. Episode 14 of season 2 (and Volume 9 of the Light Novels) gives her A Day in the Limelight, and shows off what she's been doing while Shiroe and the others are taking care of things in Akiba.
• Genki Girl: She tends to sound very excited when talking most of the time.
• Giver of Lame Names: Her nicknames are indeed lame, at least according to Kero-nardo, err, Leonardo.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Tends to punch things to death in combat.
• Happily Married: Before she moved to Europe, Kanami gushed to the Tea Party about her husband a lot.
• The Heart: She essentially kept the Debauchery Tea Party together. Once she had to quit, the group parted ways soon after.
• Hero of Another Story: Literally; her story was originally written as a separate side-novel on Touno's personal site before taking it down and eventually incorporating it into the main story. Her and her companions' story has been covered in volumes 9 and 11 and is to be continued in volume 15.
• The Leader: Despite the Debauchery Tea Party being a informal organization, she was recognized as its head. Kazuhiko claims that she wasn't their leader, she just more-or-less dragged everyone around with whatever she thought would be interesting at the moment.
• The Nicknamer: Kanami is apparently bad at remembering player names, so she resorts to nicknames instead. For example, she calls Elias "Eli-Eli", and gave Leonardo the moniker "Kero-nardo" within minutes of meeting him.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: While Indicus was never the most sound of mind, Kanami's departure for Europe, and the Tea Party's subsequent dissolution, did not help. Several characters point out that Indicus is trying to groom Nureha to be her "replacement Kanami" to regain what Indicus believed was "their" rightful place as the top of the Yamato server.

Leonardo

Race/Gender: Human/Male
Class/Level: Assassin/Lv.90

An American player who, after the Catastrophe, hid in the sewers of New York to avoid the chaos that ensued. He ended up taking a chance and jumped into a Fairy Ring, ending up in the Middle East. He joins Kanami's group after they help him in escaping a town in Kazakhstan where a guild-level area-wide event had trapped him in.

---

• Ascended Fanboy: He doesn't show it much but he really enjoys traveling with Elias, the legendary hero of Theldesia, whom he admired as a heroic archetype pre-Apocalypse.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: The Light Novel makes it clear that the true secret of his Overskill is learning through experience all of the attacks that he can use to combo into his damage-multiplying Deadly Dance attack, and that he is able to leverage his real-world programming instincts to keep the combo going indefinitely.
• Brooklyn Rage: He attributes his ability to adapt to the dangerous world of Theldesia to being a New York native.
• Catchphrase: COWABUNGA!
• Combo: His Overskill, Parallel Plot, is a nonstop chain of special attacks. He came up with it after watching Kanami's own Overskill at work, realizing that his combat skills no longer have a cooldown like they used to, and that he can use different attack skills on either hand. This helps him defeat a Genius monster that was swapping out its own status and Health bar with that of different monsters, granting it their abilities as well.
• Cosplay: His character is cosplaying as Leonardo. This actually works pretty well, as it's obvious he was working around the limitations of the game's costumes to get close.
• Dual Wielding: Like his namesake, he dual wields katana.
• Frog Ninja: Sure, it's a means of Writing Around Trademarks, but he still fits the trope.
• Heel Realization: Undergoes one after initially refusing to accompany Kanami to fight the Genius monsters. The Light Novel version of the story adds the realization that his abandoning New York was almost as irresponsible as the other players who had selfishly driven the city into the ground in the first place, alongside his epiphany about the People of the Land and Coppelia.
• Hot-Blooded: Look at his catchphrase and the nature of his combo; this guy is full throttle in combat. Outside of combat, he's much calmer.
• Inseries Nickname: "Keronardo" or "Croakanardo".
• Kiss Me, I'm Virtual: There's his crush on Coppelia, who was a farm-bot pre-Apocalypse.
• Only Sane Man: In volume 11, he compares himself to "the project manager of a dumpster fire" because of all the trouble the group jumps into despite his objections.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He got so tired of the chaos that erupted in New York that he took a chance and leaped into a Fairy Ring, ending up somewhere in Kazakhstan.
• Shout-Out: Themed his character build, fighting style, and appearance after his namesake in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He even hid in a sewer for a time, and in Season 2 Episode 14 mentions wanting some pizza. (Although the light novels changed it to sushi to distance it a bit.)
• Sour Supporter: His regular complaints about Kanami's trouble magnet status don't preclude continuing to travel with her.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Initially, he has little concern for Landers because he viewed them as mindless data. Then, after finding out his Love Interest Coppelia was a farming bot pre-Catastrophe, he considers what his namesake would do, and sheds this way of thinking.
• Writing Around Trademarks: In order to avoid copyright infringement, in the anime he refers to himself as a frog, not a turtle. Also, his favorite food is sushi not pizza.

Elias Hackblade

Race/Gender: Elf/Male
Class/Level: Blademaster/Lv.100
Subclass: Ancient

The Hero of the Elder Tale metaplot, Elias is one of the Ancients, a powerful NPC stronger than an adventurer of his equivalent level. Kanami saved him from getting sealed by <Genius> monsters exploiting his programmed weakness: he is unable to kill an opponent, and instead is only able to reduce their maximum hitpoints to around 25% of its total. In gratitude for the rescue, he joins Kanami in her quest to reach Yamato, as he himself is curious as to what happened to the Ancients of that "server".

---

• Badass in Distress:
  • Kanami befriended this powerful Ancient by freeing him from a seal placed upon him.
  • There was a quest in "Elder Tales" involving a character called "Red-Nosed Princess", who drugs him into sleep, thus prompting adventurers to rescue him. Leonardo's headcannon at the time was that he actually felt sorry for the pitiful princess and kept her company. Volume 11 implies this is correct.
• Blessed with Suck: As The Hero, he's one of the most powerful NPCs in the game, but that comes with the restriction that he cannot kill his opponents.
• Crutch Character: His role when Elder Tale was still a game was to assist players with tough adventures; assist but never do it for them. Look at his status! Not only is he Level 100, but the anime gives him almost 150% more HP and 200% MP than any Adventurer character introduced so far.
• Failure Hero: Because he was never supposed to steal kills from the adventures/players, he would always fail at some critical moment when Elder Tales was a game. Despite being "the strongest of the Ancients" he's never actually killed anyone in battle.
• The Hero: Of Elder Tale's metaplot, not the series itself. He is the leader of the Red Knights and strongest of the Ancients who defends the world from evil For Great Justice.
• The Herald: During the time of the game, he would often recruit adventurers for quests. Leonardo says he features in more quests than any other NPC.
• The Leader: He commanded the Red Branch Knights, the Ancient order of the Scandinavian server, prior to the Apocalypse. Now he is following Kanami's lead.
• Magic Knight: He is the only Blademancer in the game due to his unique Fairy Arts.
• Powerful and Helpless: He has more power than any adventurer but he cannot defeat anyone, thus leading him to rely on those with less power. It also leads to much angst on his part.
• Power Limiter: His Fairy Curse locks down his powers against any enemy with 25% or less of HP. He's annoyed at this fact.
• Series Mascot: He is the guy on the Elder Tales box art and other promotional artwork. Humorously, the in-universe players considered him more of a cute mascot than The Paragon of heroism he was created to be because of his cheesy heroic optimism and Failure Hero status.
• Super-Toughness: His "fairy blood" makes him tougher than the average elf, such as granting him resistance to frigid temperatures.
• Thou Shall Not Kill: The fairies who taught him his Fairy Arts didn't want him to kill anything so they placed a geas upon him so that he could not. In truth, he never wanted to kill in the first place. Rather, he wanted to save and protect without taking life. Leonardo reminds him of this during their "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight. It's not a curse but a Heroic Vow.
• Tomato in the Mirror: The Genius monsters chanted the "Words of Death" to defeat him and his order, which consists of Mind Rape plus the knowledge that he was an NPC in "Elder Tales".

Coppelia

Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi (Japanese), Patricia Duran (English)

Race/Gender: Human/Female
Class/Level: Cleric/Lv.90
Subclass: Maid

A cleric that Kanami encountered as she passed through Europe. Prior to the Catastrophe, Coppelia was bot account used by a Chinese player to farm gold to sell for real money. In the wake of the Catastrophe, Coppelia gained thoughts and a personality of her own, but not sure what to do she fell into old habits, and continued farming the area she spawned in for gold dropped from monsters. When the village she to which normally returned to deposit her loot got destroyed, she joins up with Kanami, in the hopes of finding a newer purpose to her existence.

---

• Aura Vision: One scene in volume 9 of the Light Novel, that wasn't adapted into the corresponding Season 2 episode, has Coppelia reveal that she doesn't technically see; instead, she can see the colors of the souls of other beings, along with information tags and data streams. This also makes her a Blind Seer.
• Catchphrase: "Do you require healing?"
• Combat Medic: She wears heavy armor and oddly enough, dual wields shields.
• Dual Wielding: She dual wields shields.
• Glacier Waif: Leonardo remarks on how cute and slender she is and yet she has far greater defensive abilities than he himself.
• Improbable Weapon User: She uses double shields as both a defensive and offensive tool.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Defensive shield use.
• Meaningful Appearance: Her hairstyle covers her eyes most of the time. Whenever her eyes are visible however, it underscores an important scene, usually about either Coppelia herself or her developing relationship with Leonardo.
• Meido: Coppelia's appearance is themed around a Victorian-style maid. The uniform is actually plate armor.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: She doesn't care what "Mistress Kanami" does. She just follows quietly behind her.
• Proper Lady: Due to a combination of her Spock Speak and her Victorian-style maid motif, she always speaks formally and is quick to offer aid through healing.
• Shield Bash: Offensive shield use.
• Shout-Out: To the titular character of the ballet Coppelia.
• Spock Speak: She doesn't really speak like a normal person, often using system or game mechanics terms. Which again, makes perfect sense, when one remembers what she started out as.
• Stone Wall: Her build makes her into a defense-oriented character with two shields and plate armor. It makes sense, as it makes for easier farming.
• Third-Person Person: With good reason, considering her initial lack of personal identity.

Unaffiliated Characters

Roe2

Race: Half-Alv, World Traveller
Gender: Female
Class/Level: Summoner, Lv.90
Subclass: Vampire

Shiroe's alt character created on Mare Tranquillitatis, the test server on the moon. She appeared when Tohya and his group were travelling through the Sakawa Region in order to complete the Bag of Holding quest. As they're heading to the same location, she travels with the group hoping to change her subclass to something less cumbersome.

Appearance wise, she's a tall woman looking similar to Shiroe wearing glasses and the same cloak that Shiroe wore at the start of the Apocalypse.

Like Coppelia, she gained sentience after the Catastrophe, but for a different reason.

---

• But Now I Must Go: She leaves Minori and the others in episode 20 of season 2 shortly after they stop the wyvern horde.
• Chekhov's Gunman: She was mentioned in an off-hand comment by Shiroe in Volume 7 as one of his character alts. She somehow appears in Volume 8.
• Cool Big Sis: She tells the group that she will help them if they will call her "Big Sis". She loves acting as the "dependable older sister".
• Fish out of Water: Despite being an Adventurer, she's completely unfamiliar with with their abilities and even things like food.
• G.I.R.L.: As Shiroe's female alt character, she is technically this, but now possesses her own sentience apart from him.
• Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: Similar to Coppellia, after the Apocalypse, she gained sentience. Her letter to Shiroe explains that a Navigator is using her avatar as a host.
• Necromancer: She specializes in this particular branch of summon magic.
• Squishy Wizard: As a magician class, she's this. Luckily, she can summon things to tank for her.
• Technobabble: When she was trying to explain who she is, this is basically what not only Tohya & Friends hear, but the readers as well, hinting that she is far more than just a player character gaining sentience like Coppellia.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Due to her possessing the Vampire subclass, her stats decrease when exposed to light, and increase in the darkness. She finds this very troublesome and wants to change it to something else.
• Summon Magic: As a Summoner, she specializes in this. More specifically, undead summoning.

The Landers

While the plot of Log Horizon follows Adventurers, they are but a minor, if powerful, minority in the world that Elder Tale has become. In the hamlets and cities outside of the adventurer hub zones dwell the Landers, the native inhabitants of the world. Formerly viewed as simply NPCs, adventurers have been forced to quickly re-evaluate their interactions and relationships with them in the wake of the Catastrophe.

Landers of Note

Raynesia El-Arte Cowen

Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese) Emily Neves (English)

Race/Gender: Human/Female
Class/Level: Princess of the Rose Garden/Lv.12

The young granddaughter of Duke Sergiad Cowen, the primus inter pares of the League of Freedom Cities Eastal, Princess Raynesia is a self-described lazy coward who just want spend her days relaxing and not bother about her social obligations. She is however perceptive for her age and a chance meeting with Krusty during the Conference of the Eternal Ice Palace convinced her about the importance of normalising the relations between the Adventurers and the Landers. She is eventually selected to be the goodwill ambassador representing the Landers and is currently residing in Akihabara.

In Season 3, her mother, Saraliya, comes to Akiba to inform her of her engagement to Touri, head of the Saiguu family, a cadet branch of the old imperial dynasty and the highest-ranked of nobility in all Yamato. Through a series of events, she refuses this engagement, stands as the candidate for the New Round Table Council in the Akiba General Election, and wins, becoming the new leader of the Round Table.

---

• A Child Shall Lead Them: At age 15-16, she wins a general election, and becomes the representative for the New Round Table Council, replacing Krusty—a man well in his twenties—and where the only other sitting members of comparable age are Rieze and William Massachusetts, both high-schoolers.
• Beneath the Mask: She's laid back, lazy, and gloomy, with her goal being mainly doing absolutely nothing all day. In public, she pretends to be a model princess, to which everyone buys. Unfortunately for her, Krusty sees right through her facade, so she doesn't bother pretending in front of him.
• Birds of a Feather: With Krusty. Both are lazy, dislike politics and try to stay out of it. Both are excellent at maneuvering people to act the way they want to. The main difference between the two is that 1) Raynesia would rather prefer a lazy lifestyle, while Krusty prefers good old-fashioned battles and raids. 2) Krusty is way better at maneuvering people.
• Bling of War: The outfit chosen for her by Shiroe and Charasin when she's visiting Akiba in episode 18. Shiroe can be heard specifically mentioning items that would make her look good, and it seems to pay off when she shows up in front of a huge crowd of adventurers to ask for their help in defeating the goblin armies threatening her lands.
• Cowardly Lion: Despite her own self-deprecation, Raynesia proves to be capable of courageous acts when push comes to shove, as shown in her interruption of a deadlocked meeting between the Eastal League and the Round Table Council in episode 17 and her subsequent appeal to the Adventurers in Akiba for a volunteer army to fight the goblins.
• Dude Magnet: A good portion of Akiba's army is enthralled by her.
• Eating the Eye Candy: When she catches Krusty wiping off sweat, she found herself just staring at him.
• The Face: Stands as the candidate for the New Round Table Council in the Akiba General Election, and she's the one who campaigns and makes a speech to the city's denizens the day of the election. And upon victory, just as Krusty was The Face of the former Round Table, she becomes the leader of the renewed council.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: She thinks of herself as "lazy, cowardly and irresponsible" despite the good she does like serving as the recruiter and morale builder of Akiba's anti-goblin army. While this has a basis in fact, it is not nearly as bad as she thinks.
• Hero with Bad Publicity: Although she is personally popular with the Landers who have settled in Akiba, the perception that she had broken her engagement to Touri Saiguu causes this among them during the city's general election, as the commoners who had moved to the city are more traditionally-minded and conservative and look poorly on this. In addition, they also fear that this act may cause Eastal's already volatile relation with Westelande to worsen. Luckily for her, this stops mattering after the election is over and her rivals leave the city entirely.
• Meaningful Name: Her middle name, "El-Arde", indicates that she's the second child of her generation of the Cowen family.
• Modest Royalty: She calls silk pajamas "evil pajamas" and prefers simpler flannel pajamas because they're more comfortable.
• NEET: She would rather spend her day in her room the whole day wearing pajamas than attend a stuffy meeting between nobles. She grows out this by Volume 12/Season 3, when she realizes that she cares too much about her various duties in Aikba to give them up. She still has such impulses.
• Politically-Active Princess: She really did not mean to fall into this role, but ended up with it anyway after becoming the goodwill ambassador.In Season 3, she takes on this role even more, standing in the Akiba General Election as the candidate for a proposed New Round Table Council, and becoming its leader after winning.
• Princess Classic: Her fellow Lander nobles, and many Adventurers really, see her as this archetype: beautiful, docile, romantic, etc. It's way off the mark.
• Put on a Bus: Shiroe's plans for her during Volume 14. Her rejection of Touri's marraige proposal could complicate the already delicate relations with Westelande during a time when Shiroe intends to bring a goodwill delegation to Minami, so he proposes that she heads an expedition to Zhongyuan to rescue Krusty. It certainly helps that this is an initiative that she herself wants to do as well, and the prospect of lazing about on the Round Table's luxury boat en route from Yamato to Zhongyuan appeals to her NEET impulses.
• Reassignment Backfire:
  • After the events of the Return of the Goblin King, because she acted entirely on her own without the authority of the Nobles, she found herself forced to shoulder all responsibility, and had to go to Akihabara to become the Lander ambassador to the Adventurers. Ironically, Krusty tells her that since Adventurers don't care about politics she gets to laze around all day long, exactly what she wanted.
  • This quickly backfires when she realized that she's now swamped with requests between the Guilds/Landers and now barely has time for herself. She feels that she got conned by Krusty as a result.
• Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She had some minor issues with the outfit Shiroe and Charasin picked out for her before requesting the Adventurers for help. While it was quite modest for an adventurer, many of whom wear outright Chainmail Bikini, it was much more form-fitting and showed off a lot more skin than what a princess usually wears. This comes up again when she's put in a Sexy Santa Dress, though less because of how much it shows off her curves and more because she was certain "Santa" was a guy in a full suit.
• Rousing Speech: Gave one to the adventurers in Akihabara to convince them to aid the Landers during the "Return of the Goblin King" world event. She got over a thousand recruits!
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Ironically, because she was sick and tired of watching the Nobles scheme and plot over how to use the Adventurers, she ends up personally going to Akihabara to plead for aid against the Goblin King's army.
• Ship Tease: With Krusty. All of her maids are shipping the two, something that she is all too aware of, much to her dismay. Then her noble-lady associates sympathize with "her knight" going missing, as if Krusty were already her boyfriend. Then, in season 3, her mother expresses disappointment that Krusty never paid her a visit.
• Spell My Name With An S: Crunchyroll's subtitles calls her Lenessia.
• Stepford Smiler: Due to how she was raised since childhood to always act like a model princess in front of others, she has it ingrained into her to always act courteous and respectful while smiling happily, even when on the inside she feels miserable and worthless due to how being a princess meant being nothing more than a potential marriage candidate politically. Even after she leaves that position and becomes the ambassador for Akihabara, along with developing close relationships with the Adventurers, she still has great difficulties letting her true self show, due to keeping up that facade for most of her life. The sole exception when it comes to hiding her true self is around Krusty, who not only is able to see right through her fake smiles, he also has a knack for pushing her buttons in ways that bring her true personality out.
• Trophy Wife: As is often the case in feudal societies, female nobles in Eastal don't have any real authority and instead exist for political marriages. This is the reason why she is so lazy and unmotivated, because she knows that she will never be in a position to do anything worthwhile and is expected to just look pretty and perfect. She thus finds her newfound position as a motivating symbol for adventurers just as bewildering as it is empowering. She defies her destiny as a young noblewoman in Season 3/Volume 12, by turning down Touri's marriage proposal and parting ways with the Cowen family, becoming the new representative of the New Round Table Council after she wins the Akiba General Election.
• Tsundere: She can pretend to be the perfect Proper Lady, except when she's around Krusty. Then she gets rougher around the edges as is more natural to her. When he disappears, she often complains about "the monster" not being around when she needs him.

Iselus El-Arde Cowen

Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese), Kalin Coats (English)

Race/Gender: Human/Male
Class/Level: Young Prince of Maihama/Lv.9

The young grandson and heir of Duke Sergiad Cowen, and Raynesia's younger brother. He looks up to Adventurers and wants to learn all he can about them as he prepares to inherit his grandfather's title.

---

• A Child Shall Lead Them: He's not becoming a ruler himself just yet, but he is publicly introduced to the world as the next Duke of Maihama the night of his ninth birthday.
• The Determinator: Never backs down or gives up in his (rather unforgiving) swordplay lessons with Isaac. This in turn wins him Isaac's respect, as before, Isaac really wasn't feeling the whole bodyguard/babysitter gig.
• Friendless Background: An isolation born of his status as the only male blood descendant of Duke Serjiad. Growing up, he was always well aware that the adults in his life were only friendly to him to try and curry favor with his grandfather. He's thus happy to have a chance to establish genuine friendships with the Adventurers sent to Maihama, such as Isaac and Rezarick.
• The Gadfly: With the influence of and encouragement from Rezarick and Charasin, he adopts a playful, teasing tone with his mentor Isaac, whom he calls "Isaac the Young" like the two adult Adventurers do. Luckily for him, Isaac grudgingly tolerates it.
• Hero-Worshipper: Is this towards Adventurers, whom he had grown up idolizing as chivalrous heroes. He's thus ecstatic to actually befriend some when the Black Sword Knights come to Maihama.
• Meaningful Name: His middle name, "El-Arte", indicates that he's the third child of his generation of the Cowen family.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Averted. He refuses to be given expensive swords as gifts, occasionally even teasing Isaac for not knowing the value of money. He finally and only accepts a dagger from his mentor as a birthday gift.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: During his screentime, he's seen taking on several official duties, such as surveying a canal in Maihama and visiting farmers in his territory. He also is a very dedicated student under Isaac, his bodyguard and swordplay instructor.

Sergiad

Voiced by: Shinpachi Tsuji (Japanese)

Race/Gender: Human/Male
Class/Level: Feudal Lord/Lv.19

The Duke of Maihama and leader of the Eastal League of Free Cities, and grandfather to Raynesia and Iselus. He invites the Round Table to the Ancient Palace of Eternal Ice shortly after their establishment, and from there, the relationship between Eastal and Akiba grows.

---

• Cool Old Guy: Isaac's estimation of him, and they take a casual tone and shoot the breeze together in their interactions.
• Hidden Depths: Isaac notes that he is surprisingly mischievous and curious and rather casual behind closed doors, far more so than what his advanced age and high social standing would suggest.
• Manly Tears: Is shown shedding them after Raynesia resolutely informs him and Saraliya, her mother and his daughter, of her intention to leave the Cowen family and carve her own path as the new representative for the New Round Table Council of Akiba. Without saying a word, he echoes his daughter's parting words for her—to make a name for herself in Akiba as someone with Cowen blood.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Although he had invited the Round Table to the conference with the Eastal lords initially intending to bestow titles of nobility on them, he realizes his mistake and apologizes for it after realizing that Akiba itself has power and complexity rivaling all Eastal. Relatedly, even after Raynesia completely upends her social station by coming to a conference meeting, giving away critical intel about the missing Knights of Izumo, and flies off to Akiba with Krusty to solicit volunteers, he does not punish her, instead recognizing her potential as an ambassador to Adventurers and assigning her to that role. He also is aware of his limits as a product of the old world, asking Isaac to teach his other grandchild, Iselus, about Adventurers and other things that he would be unable to as an old Lander noble.
• Spell My Name With An S: Is named "Sergiatte Cowen" in Crunchyroll's subs.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Dorayaki, which he has delivered to his castle. In the midway episode card for Season 2 Episode 23, he's seen with a large plate of them on his office's table.

Ri Gan/Regan

Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Seasons 1 and 2), Yohei Tadano (Season 3) (Japanese), David Wald (English)

Race/Gender: Elf/Male
Class/Level: Magic Scholar "Lore Master"/Lv.28

The Sage of Miral Lake, Ri Gan is a scholar who specializes in the study of global magic. It is through interacting with him that Shiroe learns about the history of the world of Elder Tale as told by a native, as well as some possibly earth-shaking implications about the existences of all adventurers currently staying there.

---

• Creepy Good: Not quite on Shiroe's level, but he still looks like an Evil Sorcerer and was suspiciously interested in "Akatsuki's curse".
• Dirty Old Man: He gets along with Naotsugu because they have "similar taste".
• Evil Sorceror: Averted. He seems to evoke this, as he does look suspicious, especially during his introduction. However, he's largely been friendly to Shiroe and has provided him with a lot of interesting facts about the world they live in according to a Lander.
• Eyes Always Shut: Again, to show his shiftiness.
• In the Hood: His robe includes one and makes him look mysterious.
• Legacy Character: Ri Gan's official title, the Sage of Miral Lake, was something he inherited from his master, and he's the latest in a long line of Sages of Miral Lake. He admits that he doesn't like using it, as he's never shaken off the feeling he's inadequate for it.
• Mr. Exposition: He provides Shiroe information on the history of Elder Tale as known by the Landers, as well as the Spirit Theory.
• Running Gag: Often is seen hiding halfway behind a door or other edifice for inexplicable reasons.
• Pointy Ears: He's an elf.
• Spell My Name With An S: His name appears alternately as either Re Gan or Regan.

Kinjou Kunie

Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga (Japanese), Adam Gibbs (English)

Race/Gender: Half-Alv/Male
Class/Level: Successor/Lv.50

A representative of the Kunie Clan, an old Lander family that manages the banks found inside the main Guildhalls across Yamato. In fact, the Kunies are far more than that, as they are the inheritors of an ancient mandate dating back to the era when the Alvs still ruled Yamato. As such, they not only control the flow of gold, but Alv legacies such the Royal Guard armor that are used to defend the adventurer hub cities.

It was he who challenged Shiroe to brave the newly-discovered raid zone at the extreme bottom of Palm's Deep. If Shiroe succeeds then perhaps he will consider the adventurer's proposal.

• Morton's Fork: He cannot help with the serial killer running loose in Akiba because the only way to do so would be to turn off the city's magic circle. Although this would disempower the killer's armor and as well as the other royal guards, it would also have the undesirable effect of the shield protecting the city from monsters. It would take decades to start up the circle again. He ultimately agrees to help after Raynesia appeals to him on the need for the Landers to take responsibility for this dire situation.
  • Turns into a Chekhov's Gun during the Akiba General Election, as the deactivation of the magic circle produces a massive surplus of mana that he, Shiroe and Li Gan use to reactivate the city's Intercity Transport Gate, connecting it with Susukino to bring in voters from that city.
• Obstructive Bureaucrat: He refuses to help Shiroe outright because of an "ancient treaty".

Mizufa Trude

Voiced by: Toa Yukinari (Japanese)

Race/Gender: Human/Female
Class/Level: Warlord/Lv.68

The fourth seat of Plant Hwyaden in Minami and a leading general in Westelande's army.

---

• Blood Knight: She values her strength as a warrior above all and proclaims that she'll gladly "burn down her life with the alcohol called war". She's also completely unsympathetic to Nyanta's lack of will to kill her, telling him that his kindness and desire to save Landers will only end up getting scores of them killed instead.
• Fantastic Racism: She outright calls Nyanta "undead" during her duel with him, and sees all Adventurers as zombies because they revive after death. She also resents that Londark, a "loser from Susukino", is treated as well as a noble simply because he's an Adventurer.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Had the Nightshade Servants being summoned aboard her magic train not disrupted the wyverns' natural habitat around the Redstone Mountains, they would never have invaded the town of Saphir, where Touya's Party happened to be. Nureha, who had been traveling with Shiroe's young companions under her Dariella disguise and seeing the distress the destruction of the town causes them, orders an end to Operation Red Night, thus indefinitely postponing Westelande's war of conquest in Eastal, and Mizufa's ambitions of starring therein.
• Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Keeps taunting and insulting Nyanta until the generally affable, gentlemanly Adventurer is enraged enough to go for a kill shot. He is only stopped from killing her when Kazuhiko intervenes.
• World's Strongest Woman: Zigzagged. At Level 68, she is by far the strongest Lander seen in the series aside from the Ancients—and for that matter, she's at an even higher level than the Mofur sisters, who were set to be Level 65 when Elder Tales was first released. Nonetheless, she is still far weaker than any veteran Adventurer like Nyanta. Despite that, she was appointed to the leadership of Plant Hwyaden in Minami to appease the Westelande nobility.

Sara

A Lander housekeeper that Soujirou hired when Elder Tales was still a game, Sara was content just helping maintain the West Wind Brigade's guildhouse, despite being ignored by her so-called employers. This is why she's bewildered how they've suddenly started to act like people (from her point of view), rather than emotionless machines.

Sara appears in the spinoff West Wind Brigade.

---

• Attempted Rape: What some jerks from Hamelin tried to pull on her and Isami.
• The Cameo: She appears in episode 24 of the anime as part of the West Wind Brigade "patrols" Shiroe recruited to help quell the disputes erupting around Akiba during the Libra Festival.
• Shrinking Violet: Rather shy and is fearful of adventurers, initially seeing them as "strange".

Nanami

A young Lander girl introduced in volume 2 of Honey Moon Logs, that Hien befriended while he was goofing off after farming resources for Shiroe's Crescent Moon scheme (somewhere between chapters 3 and 4 of volume 2 of the main series). When Elder Tales was still a game she was a rare "wandering" NPC that dispensed lottery tickets in exchange for gold. Hien helps retrieve her favorite jar (which contains the treasured knick-knacks she picks up around Akihabara) after it fell through the floor of her room into the city sewers below.

Later on, she joins the Crescent Moon Alliance as one of its junior members.

---

• Canon Immigrant: Not named, but a Lander girl matching her description was revealed to have joined Maryelle's guild post-book 6.
• Shrinking Violet: Very quiet and shy, and has a hard time saying what she has in mind.
• Token Mini-Moe: As seen in the Honey Moon Logs manga.

Upashi

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto

The daughter of one of the Lander nobility living in Susukino, she was kidnapped by Demikas in a fit of anger after Shiroe's visit to the town. For a while she worked for him as a maid, but over time, they fell in love and got married.

---

• Happily Married: We first hear about it when Tetra talks about her in episode 2. We see it at the end of episode 12, where Demikas brags about his role in the Abyssal Shaft raid. She gives a beautiful smile when saying she's glad that he looks happy for once.
• Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand: While she was a maid, she called Demikas' bluffs of violence in this fashion; "kill me or get out of my way."
• Living Emotional Crutch: Meeting and falling in love with Upashi is what gave Demikas a reason to believe the new world was worth seeing as real and Landers as deserving of being acknowledged as people. Anything that threatens her well-being will drive him to a combination of rage, fear and sorrow, as shown when she was one of the people put into a death-like coma thanks to the moth Genius.
• A Match Made in Stockholm: She and Demikas started off on the wrong foot, him having forced her to act as his maid, but following his guild disbanding and in a rage him trying to threaten her, her showcasing Nerves of Steel caused him to falter, and over time her strong-willed attitude caused him to fall for her while she saw his growing softer side, eventually resulting in them marrying out of genuine love.
• Morality Pet: While Silver Sword taking over Susukino and driving out Brigandia is what removed most of Demikas' threatening presence, it wasn't until he met Upashi that he started mellowing out and developing redeeming qualities. While he's still at best a Jerk with a Heart of Gold towards everybody else, when around Upashi he shows a kinder and more caring side.
• Named by the Adaptation: She is not named in the light novel, but the anime gives her a name: Upashi, which means "Snow" in the Ainu language.
• Nerves of Steel: She is never once shown afraid of Demikas and took to her new life status with remarkable grace.
• Supreme Chef: Demikas can't get enough of her cooking.
