  • Complete Monster:
    • Fallen London (formerly known as Echo Bazaar): Mr Veils, aka the monstrous Vake, presides over the trade in cloth and spends his free time hunting innocent people for sport. Haunting the nightmares of his victims before hunting them down in the waking world, Veils has some of his victims consume a version of a drink known as Black Wings Absinthe spiked with prisoner's honey, which transports them physically into the nightmare, where as the Vake he taunts, torments, and then tears them to pieces. In ancient times, Veils betrayed the fellow Master Mr Candles by having him stabbed repeatedly by the other Masters and fed to Priest-Kings, after which Veils delivered the final blow when he drowned Mr Candles in the tears of the Bazaar and dissolved him in purest sorrow, causing his vengeful disembodied spirit to become Mr Eaten.
    • Sunless Skies: The Sapphir'd King, also known as the Azure, is an ancient star that rules as Judgement over the Blue Kingdom, where all souls go in death. Outwardly appearing as Heaven itself, the Blue Kingdom is in truth a vast and corrupt bureaucracy serving as a giant meat grinder to process souls to be fed to the Azure. All living mortals found trespassing are immediately killed, and souls found not to the Azure's taste are thrown into a frozen black hole to suffer for eternity trapped with the worst monsters in existence. The worst fate awaits the chosen souls that pass through Death's Door into supposed paradise, where they are skewered on spears of light and slowly dissected before what remains is fed to the Azure's gaping maw and wiped from existence. Embodying the worst aspects of the Judgements, the Sapphir'd King proves why many mortals seek to bring about the Liberation of Night.
