This is a recap of Acts Five, Six and Seven. It serves as a reminder of the important parts of what's already been read, and is not intended to replace reading the chapters themselves. I know it's long, but a lot has happened and a few new characters have gained POVs over these two acts.

Acts 5, 6 and 7 are full of soap-opera levels of drama and plenty of emotional scenes...sniffle...it really is an end of an era, marking the end of a three-year and five-month long project. Thank you to all that followed along. After all the crazy shit that happened, let's refamilarise ourselves...

Áine Ó Sé

The only character still alive (or otherwise present) at the end of the story, Áine is the founder of the Magic Realm and the first (and so far, only) Sage of Untamed Magic. Chronologically she is about 300+ years old, and biologically is 36.

Áine begins teaching magic in a hidden-away small school teaching out of a cave in Glimmerbrook. Eventually, she is met by Xander Burnham, a man who has been told about the school by its students. He leads a settlement in Glimmerbrook which is built like a little village, including a large building where she could more safely and effectively run a school. Áine takes a chance on it and later moves there with Reynold, but Reynold is a bit concerned. Áine has been fleeing from place to place, never settling. Isn't she tired?
She and Reynold talk about Róisín and her wanting to leave. She realises that she left her situation because it wasn't right for her, so maybe she should not keep Róisín at Glimmerbrook if she does not want to be there.
At Áine's first day teaching her class, Xander bursts in to say Lord Volpe is dead. A celebration arises from it where they burn an effigy of a fox. Violeta fills her in on some of the details, but some things get lost in news getting passed along.
Owen arrives at Glimmerbrook after being summoned by Áine's letter. She's interested to meet him for many reasons, but one of them is that, because of Eli being her adoptive brother, she almost sees Owen in a similar familial way. She notes that he seems a lot different than his brother, describing him as 'unsettling' and noting an apparent lack of emotion. Interestingly, he shows a lot of vulnerability to her straight away, especially concerning his relationship with Eli. He thanks Áine for taking care of him. She asks him to teach her Fulguris when he feels up to it. It is Owen who brings up what they are to each other because of having a brother in common but not being related. He says after her family is almost entirely found family, maybe they can accept blood having little to do with it and agrees they are both siblings. He tells her he sees her as a long-lost sister.
Áine struggles with not having Reynold or her daughter around when Reynold eventually leaves Xander's settlement to go and look after his sister. Before Reynold leaves, the two of them have an intimate moment together.
Áine notes that, over the years and her learning magic, more and more of the grimoire starts to make sense. Some things are written rather cryptically, and a story in the grimoire about going to other worlds that Saoirse used to tell Áine as a child make her wonder if that too is a spell written in a cryptic fashion... Owen notes that she's alienated everyone since Reynold left, and she doesn't respond too pleasantly to that. He thinks her idea of worlds outside of their own is a bit mental.
Áine and Owen learn more about one another when teaching Áine the Fulguris spell. They bond over *checks notes* both being responsible for the deaths of their shitty fathers.
Áine is visited at Glimmerbrook by Róisín, who tells her how she's helping heal patients with Lydia. Áine is annoyed at both Lydia and Reynold and warns her daughter she'll be in danger, and an argument breaks out and Róisín goes straight back home. Áine realises she needs to go back to Henford, and Owen decides to come with because he's not happy with Lydia's decision either.
When Áine goes back to Henford, she finds out Róisín is missing. She heads out to look for her on one of Owen's horses, meeting Maddie, who's also (concerningly) looking for the same girl. Maddie explains what happened and so she tags along with Áine. Unfortunately, the arrive too late and find her body burning on the stake...
Áine begrudgingly accepts Maddie's help to find this man. She's not sure whether she can trust her, but so far Maddie is her best and only lead. She tells Owen about Róisín being dead and is furious with a very apologetic Lydia. She's devastated when Owen's children all come in to comfort him, and seeing him so loving with his children reminds her of what she's lost.
Áine finds Reynold at the monastery and informs him of what happened, blaming him in part for Róisín's death. Naturally, he's absolutely furious at this. He asks her one favour: 'I want her to have a traditional Lunvinchenaîné burial. We leave our dead for the wolves, so that the wolves can feed on us and continue the circle of life. I know it sounds grim from someone else's perspective, but it means a lot to us to be able to give back to the wolves like that.' Áine of course says no.
Violeta finds her to tell her they found James. Violeta, Maddie and Áine go to the stake where James is tied and Abigail and her son Mason are waiting. He admits it. He drops Maddie in it and implies she's not innocent, to which Maddie turns it all back on him. He shows and feels no remorse at all for what he's done. Áine sets him ablaze and takes off in the form of the wolf, taking down witchfinders or maiming them so she can steal their life forces like she did with her father. James says before he dies that killing him will solve nothing, like Volpe's death solved nothing.
She considers stealing their life forces instead of burning them because she fears the issue will outlive her. She wants to live long enough that she can protect this generation and the next generations of spellcasters.
When he confronts her, Áine accuses Reynold of not caring about his daughter's death because he seems to feel or show no emotion. He tells her how what she said and what happened to her made him nearly kill himself, and she's immediately hit with guilt.
Áine experiences memories of all the people whose life forces she stole. Including killing witchfinders. Memories of family she does not have, and of people she does not know. They drive her crazy. They tend to happen in her sleep. One night, whilst staying at Violea's house, she has a memory of one of them that knew Maddie...and she's in witchfinder gear. She immediately goes for her, but Maddie knocks her to the floor and holds her sword above her.
Áine apologises to Reynold for everything she said to him, and tells Reynold of her plan.
Eventually, with Kat, Owen, Eli and Tsuna by her side, Áine created a portal to the new world right by the waterfall where the old presumed ritual circle is. However, she becomes overcharged, so Owen goes in with her. When she comes to, she's upset that the whole place is broken apart. Owen and Eli remind her that it's a big effort.

Katlego Anansi

The first Sage of Mischief, and one of the many people who worked towards a better world for witches. Known for her relative pacifism and ability to rely on trickery as opposed to violence. She led a long and joyful life in spite of everything.

Katlego has a discussion with Dan when he comes to pick up his father's medicine, saying that in a country obsessed with violence Dan refused to bow to it even with a force like Volpe trying to talk him into it. He also tells her that not all the witchfinders are driven by evil and many, like him, were forced against their will at the threat of homelessness or death. Kat tells him she knows that. She says that she can't say it or she'll be considered a traitor, and that she genuinely believes the issue can't be solved by just killing the right people.

When Róisín returns to Glimmerbrook, she mentions that Tsuna had good things to say about her - even though Tsuna kicked her out for not killing a witchfinder. It makes her realise how much time has passed. She finally reads a letter sent from her parents, a reply from four years ago. She realises her parents support her and are glad for her, as they always were, but Kat is always worried about letting them down. When she worries if her mother would be against her if she had to fight back, her mother, Emene, writes: 'The truth is, my dear, that I would rather have a daughter that disobeyed me and survived, than a daughter that obeyed me and paid the price for doing so with her life.'
Kat interrupts one of Volpe's 'recruitment drive' type meetings by making him say stupid stuff with her Mischief magic, and then revealing her own magic. Some recognise her and realise this is Kat, the helpful woman from Finchwick. Volpe tries to paint her as dangerous, but the crowd note that she has saved the lives of many. She tells Kat she did something about one rich man and that she won't go away easily. She gets a bunch of letters a few days later, mostly in support of her after what happened there.
Stands up for Owen at his witch trial. However, she's pretty pissed after Volpe's murder since she had planned to try and deal with Volpe peacefully. The reality is that it was probably impossible to deal with someone like him peacefully. 'My plan would have been to allow the witchfinders time to realise the error of their ways. That way, they would have eventually helped defend us, the way Gideon did so long ago.' She fears for what will happen and wonders if the witchfinders will be worse without their leader. She also thinks about other anti-witch leaders like Edmund Thorne and the fact they will be harder to deal with. Kat remembers her friends every time she feels like giving up on Henford. She also realises she cannot be too angry with Owen, as 'He's done all of this realising it will paint a target on his back, and it didn't stop him.'
Kat has a witchfinder come after her. She defends herself and her horse Sethunya, and she uses a spell that makes him relive his greatest fears and misery to get him to go away. The witchfinders find a note next to his eventual dead body saying about the witch Katlego from the cabin and the spell she used on him, and the family he left behind. Her spell caused him to kill himself. Kat and Ellie escape the angry mob, but Kat for the first time uses violence to defend herself, attacking one of them (not fatally) in the form of a tiger. She tells all the townspeople that she is to be feared and leaves to Glimmerbrook with Ellie on her horse.
Kat looks after the school when Áine and Owen are back in Henford, and she enjoys teaching the students, and is happy to meet more Mischief casters.
One of Kat's Mischief students, Jade, is from the Viridis family. She's been wondering if there's any truth to the story of the Green Lion fairy in her family that protects Glimmerbrook. She thinks that maybe it is her father, but her mother has lost interest in doing anything since her husband died. She wants Kat's help to talk some sense back into her mother and and encourage her to do something to help witches and Glimmerbrook.
News gets to Kat and the students about Áine's rampage of revenge and Róisín's murder. Everyone is devastated, especially Kat, Matis and Verity. Matis wants revenge, and Kat tells him not to think that way. Kat is beginning to accept that pacifism is no longer an option. Matis is comforted to know that Kat actually found out her mother was pregnant with her, she's known her since that long ago.
Matis asks: "You pride yourself on not hurting others, but it seems people enjoy hurting you. I heard you were the one people turned on when Samuel framed you for something. How? How can you still be so kind after everything?"
Kat responds: "Because people helped me, Matis. I have been mistreated and exiled time and time again, and yet others welcomed me with open arms when I needed it. Even amongst all this, Matis, there will still be love and kindness. There will always be people deserving of my help - people like yourselves."
Kat goes to the Viridis mansion with Jade to try and talk some sense into her mother. She tries to convince Isidora Viridis that there is a chance her husband Phineas never truly 'died' but gave the last of his life to become one with the 'green lion', a fairy that has a habit of taking any Viridis she finds interesting with strong emotions to become one with her and become a fairy lion, a fickle protector. They leave out food for the lion in the hopes of attracting it. Her whole life, Isidora thinks that the fae made her husband ill and took him as punishment to her and she feels she's never been able to 'make it up' to them when her husband's illness was nothing to do with the fae.

Reynold Morgan

The last ever member of the Lunvinchenaîné (mooncasters). Áine's former partner and the father of the daughter they lost far too early. Reynold's life has been a difficult one. Clementia Morgan is his twin sister.

Reynold tells Róisín about his turning into a werewolf and nearly killing Clementia. She forgives him almost immediately, knowing he lost control and would never do that now he can manage everything.
He and Áine talk about Róisín and her wanting to leave. He thinks they can't hold her back too much, since she can always stay with Alistair in Henford, plus she has Clem and Eli there.
When they move to Xander's settlement, Reynold criticises Áine for acting like the old settlement was stifling her because they took her in when she needed it. One of the settlement witches, Aziza, is distrusting of him being a mooncaster.
Reynold returns to Henford when Alistair arrives to tell him about the attack on his sister. Áine doesn't want him to leave, but he says he has to for his sister's sake. The two of them have an intimate moment together.
He tells Róisín to not try and be a hero or she'll get herself killed. He tells her not to be like Oskar, a far older and more able to defend himself sort of person. She's still a teen with her whole life ahead of her... right? He agrees to let Lydia take her in to help heal surgery patients, given the safety in the mansion, keeping her off the streets where witchfinders can see her, and under the protection of the gryphon Valravn.
Áine finds Reynold at the monastery and informs him of what happened, blaming him in part for Róisín's death. He explains that he was trying to protect her. This leads him to Lunvik, where he tries to kill himself from jumping from the big cliff until one of the wolves thinks he's in danger and tries to stop him. He looks up at the Moon and realises Lunvin would think him foolish for trying to do that. He sits outside Lake Lunvik, remembering that this is where he first felt Róisín moving inside of her mother. Devastated is too weak a word to describe what Reynold is feeling, much like Áine... and now he and Alistair are likely the last of the mooncasters.
After Áine is confronted by Owen, she's also confronted by Reynold, who saw her steal the life force of the witchfinders. Reynold's argument is that his own people suffered due to a hyper-focus on violence thanks to Greggorius Lunvik. He didn't think to defend his people properly and as such, many mooncasters were killed by witchfinders. She has to focus on protecting their way of life and culture as witches or they're all going to die anyway.
'You know, at one point, Greggorius Lunvik wrote about how the Lunvinchenaîné would outlast mundane humanity through ferocity alone. He didn't encourage anyone to use their defensive magic; he encouraged them to entirely give into Lunvin's ire. Between witchfinders, the Bloodmoon, and the witches giving us up for their safety - now the only ones of us left here, if at all, is myself and my father.'

He even goes as far as to say she's using his dead child as an excuse to kill - he doesn't say this next part, but there's almost a connection to Volpe...the death of a child leading to mass murder that may end up being far more widespread than the people who are responsible.

'I know how this is going to go, Áine. You'll say it's because you want to do it for our daughter, you'll say you're doing it to protect the witches, and then you'll lose sight of everything. I dread to think what you'll do once you've stolen enough life forces.You won't give anyone a chance to turn things around, you won't care if they were forced into it. Maybe you won't even care who's truly innocent or guilty. Once killing becomes more important than preserving the lives of your own people, then whatever hopes you had of a revolution will have fallen flat. Things won't magically turn out better and more righteous when it's us wielding a warped sense of justice instead of them. History will repeat itself."
Reynold tells his father that he tried to kill himself. He says that Lunvin would want him to persevere, not the ideal thing to say, but he hugs Reynold. Áine visits to apologise, but it's a cold air between the two of them. She tells him about her plan to make a new world, he says he knows it's possible because he's been to other worlds (when he died the first time) and has faith in her. He lets her take some of Róisín's drawings.

Owen Annorin

A former physician, first ever Sage of Alchemy and father of four. Elijah is his younger brother. Owen defied all expectation when he finally revealed himself to be a spellcaster, hoping that either his social stature or intimidating nature would give people less of a reason to despise magic. It didn't entirely work out in his favour, but it's safe to say his speaking out changed a lot of minds.

Owen's health is declining. He attributes it to potentially be his advancing age (though he's only in his forties at the point of this scene) but he knows so little about the effects of magic on the body that he can't exactly say if that is what's causing it.
The years of Samuel trying to separate him from his magic made him want to practice it and get back into it, reminding him of the days where his mother taught him. Sometimes, casting magic causes him a lot of pain, migraines or brief headaches, and sometimes bleeding usually from the nostril. He notes the similarity to what happened to his maid, Tilly, and also to Reynold.
Owen gives Reynold a rubbing of some engraved writing on the bottom of the orb he found in his basement. Reynold sends the modern Simlish translation back to him, and when he speaks it, a little gryphon comes out of it named Valravn. She originally helped his uncle Jonah during the Bloodmoon and was the 'little bird on his shoulder' he wrote about in his diaries. She was recovering from a 'mortal' wound she sustained, which took about 40 years in the orb to fully recover from. She is 300 years old, is from about 1000 years ago and served many people throughout the years - often unwillingly - until ending up in the hands of the Annorin family. Gryphons' feathers secrete an antibacterial chemical that also helps to repel insects, both useful for physicians and surgeons alike. They also grow back. Valravn can speak telepathically.

In reading the incantation on her orb, Owen has magically bound Valravn to him as his familiar. Because of this, they can both communicate telepathically (this is something gryphons can do anyway) but also they can sense each other's emotions. Valravn cannot read his mind, however.
After a discussion with Violeta, Owen says he wants to make Henford safer for witches. Oskar gave his life for the cause, so it's only right that Owen put his own self on the line, from his perspective. He says the bloodline families have been sitting around avoiding the issue for too long.
Owen opens up to Valravn, seeing as he can't hide his emotions from her anyway and says he doesn't know what to do about Volpe, his worsening health or the family business. She manages to interrupt him during casting a spell when he's about to overcharge himself, saying she sensed his pain and a strangeness in his mind. Valravn says she can use her own magic as a familiar as reserves for him, which could ease the strain on his own bodily magic.
Owen meets Valravn in full form for the first time when she invites him into the world of her familiar orb, where he sees her majestic form. Some days later, he tries to console Constance, who is scared of Volpe. Volpe visits that evening. He asks why the vampire cure didn't work and Owen says it's his job to keep people alive, he wouldn't have helped him kill someone. When Owen says that Samuel was killed by a vampire, Volpe says this is the second time he tried to defend a vampire who attacked his father. He accuses Volpe of never having cared about Samuel. Owen tells Volpe it is horrible and tragic what happened to his children but he can't use it as an excuse for mass murder. He also reminds him of what happens to people historically-speaking to people who upset the Annorin family, and that if Volpe gets in his way, he is an obstacle that Owen will 'remove'.
Owen becomes his own 'case study' and rules out almost any other illness he can think of. He notes that many conditions can ease by 'training' the part of the body and building strength, so he tries to do some magic each day to get his body used to it and build resilience. It seems to be working a little.
Owen consoles and comforts a dying patient, who reveals his magic to him on his deathbed and tells Owen he can sense his magic. He says that, with his social stature, he could probably change everything... Owen talks with Lydia, and the two come to a short argument about Owen arguing with and threatening Volpe. Owen loses his temper as he's unsure how to deal with all that's going on.
After reading in the papers about Juniper's trial, Owen for once feels sympathy for a Jacoban. He tells everyone bluntly, after showing everyone there that he is a spellcaster, that people will die if they do not defend witches and support their murder. It isn't a threat. Many are healers and have beneficial magic, and without them, mankind would not survive, he thinks. Volpe decides to not do anything about him... yet.
Owen vents to Clem a bit about having lost his license to practice as a physician due to him using magic on patients without their consent. He uses magic in his alchemical 'remedies', which he does not market as such, and uses the Katharis (scruberoo) spell to clean wounds in emergency situations. The only good thing about it is that all of his knowledge and legacy as a well known physician will always still be there, as well as all his research...and now, Volpe is no longer his patient and he no longer has a duty of care towards him. After swearing to never purposefully harm anyone since his days as a physician, it seems Owen's plans might have changed...but how exactly does he plan to do anything about Volpe with his hands behind his back and a fire underneath him?
Before his own trial, Lydia is furiously upset with him because her husband is going to die. He insists he won't, but she doesn't believe him and neither do the children, who scream at Volpe when he comes to take Owen to the stake. Lydia is worried this will come back to them, but Owen assures her it is entirely personal - which it is. She refuses to leave to somewhere safer, because she stayed in San Myshuno to help solve an illness epidemic knowing it was at a risk to her own life.
Owen is completely truthful at his trial, and thanks everyone who stood up for him and apologises for his wrongdoings, also thanking people for giving him a second chance. Valravn flies in, kills Volpe's witchfinders and goes to kill Volpe before Owen asks to do it instead. He badly overcharges himself by using a powerful Fulguris spell to murder Lord Volpe in front of everyone including his own brother, passing out by the time Valravn flies him back home.
Owen suffers the after-effects of overcharge both physical and mental. Volpe's death was not as fulfilling as he thought it would be, but he doesn't feel any regret.
Owen gets Áine's letter asking him to come and teach alchemy in Glimmerbrook. He thinks it'll be doing his wife a favour since no work and no play would make Owen something of a nightmare to deal with. He leaves Valravn to defend the mansion. It gets mobbed by witchfinders, all waiting for Owen to come out... and Valravn takes care of them as he flees on anxious white mare Epione. When he arrives, he gives Xander his gratitude for the opportunity.
Owen's time in Glimmerbrook actually does him good. For some time, he does miss his luxuries, but he comes to enjoy it - the fresh air and the good company. When he's well enough, he helps to tend to the crops and the animals and doesn't even care about how mucky he gets doing it.
Áine and Owen learn more about one another when teaching Áine the Fulguris spell. They bond over *checks notes* both being responsible for the deaths of their shitty fathers. He states ambition had nothing to do with it, not that his sister believes him. Owen notes that his own wife often believes in things that he doesn't, and also that she proved him wrong in the famous debate where she won over him talking about the importance of keeping older medicinal traditions. He tries to be more open minded about his sister's idea about other worlds.
Owen is furious with Lydia with what she's done, but she notes that if it were him, he would have gotten away with it. She also says: 'Our entire lives are an intricate weigh-up of benefits and risks. If I didn't have Róisín helping me with patients, then in the long run, more people will have died. If I focused on those with lesser injuries, those with more serious injuries would have died. If I focused entirely on the more severe cases, the less-severe cases would have not received any treatment at all. Whichever way I went about this, someone would be at risk. This is medicine, Owen - there are no perfect outcomes, only best outcomes. You of all people should know this. How was I supposed to know the mansion would get mobbed by witchfinders the one night I let Valravn leave? What good would Valravn be as a protector when she was longing for you? Did you really think I was going to force Róisín to never leave the mansion grounds?'
Owen, at the request of his little brother, confronts Áine just as she steals the life forces of two witches. He tells her that Eli doesn't want to lose her or him. She tells him he wouldn't know what it's like to lose a child, and he nearly loses it completely, his hand crackling with lightning. He tells her about his first daughter Lucia who died as a baby. He admits to Áine that he thinks Volpe's death did next to nothing. 'You can kill as many people as you like, but ideology is more immovable than life.' He tells her: 'Think of the witchfinders like germs, Áine - tiny organisms that often cause illness. The way to defend oneself from germs is not to go out and kill every single germ in existence. That's impossible, and for every one you kill, plenty more will come from it. The best way to defend from them is preventative measures. You will save far more lives from educating the students and defending the people when needed than you will pursuing them across Henford.'
Owen defends a young child from witchfinders using the Ignis spell that his sister taught him whilst at Glimmerbrook. He burns one guy's face off and stabs another in the eye with a burning-hot wand. He overdoes it and the child calls for his mother who begrudgingly takes him in, berating him for being an Annorin and blaming him for the death of her other son. The young bow he saved, Rowland, is thankful, and says something to Owen about putting his younger brother in a position that on his side that stopped him choking on his saliva when he had his 'moments', implying he did the same to Owen when his magic overpowered him. He thinks he's a very clever boy. The boy forgives and hugs him. The boy stole his wallet to help his mother whilst he was unaware of his surroundings, Owen lets him keep it.

Tsuna

An onryō, witch and long-term 'leader' of one of the Glimmerbrook settlements. She finally found the peace she needed to pass on whilst teaching Practical magic and arcane history at the Magic Realm after a lifetime entirely coloured by a desire for revenge.

Tsuna admits to Áine she feels a bit upset that she's leaving the settlement. She is more used to decisions that benefit a group as opposed to an individual. Áine tells her that she needs to realise people aren't realistically going to give up their entire lives to further her goals. She also admits she's still sometimes used to being treated like a deity back home even after 500+ years.
Tsuna welcomes Katlego back to her settlement after she has to leave again. Jemima and Clara go missing, and Tsuna goes looking for them with no luck. It turns out, Clara comes out seeming very numb. She willingly went to Evadne Charm of the Charm bloodline to have the Rite of Dissolution, her magic forcefully removed from her body thinking it means she will no longer be a target. Jemima was killed by the procedure.
Tsuna goes to the Charm family to talk about it, furious. She confronts Evadne who says a woman has the right to make whatever choice is best for her body - including no longer having magic. She also asks why she is blaming her and not the witchfinders for creating a culture where people feel the need to find desperate measures to rid themselves of magic. She did explain to them the risks before they had it done. Evadne only cares about the safety of her girls, Genevieve and Elaina. Tsuna encourages her to do more about the witchfinders and then that way she can make a safer world for her girls.
Tsuna urges the students of the school not to try and be heroic, because a death on the battlefield means they will never pass on. She reveals this is her true self, and she has been this way for 500 years and does not want the students meeting her same fate.
An attack on Tsuna's settlement kills Breanna, Clara, and Annabeth.

Clementia Morgan

A former Jacoban Shepherdess turned Peteran abbess turned 'screw religion', and the founder of the Withernham House of Friends. Clem is beloved by many, and similarly to Tsuna tried to leave behind a life of violence. Reynold Morgan is her twin brother who ran the House of Friends alongside her until he died.

Clem jumps down Great Convincer Juniper's throat when she attends yet another witch burning and does nothing. In reality, Juniper realises that burning witches isn't what the Watcher would want (apparently, cutting their throat with a blessed sword is a more moral way??) and she realises that if she steps out of line, she will be next to be killed (she's not wrong). Before their argument gets too heated, Violeta gives them her story and reminds them that men are the enemy, not each other (not quite accurate, but she's mostly right, as Edmund Thorne and Eduardo Volpe should be the focus of each other's anger.)
When Juniper questions what Jacobism is even about these days, and Clem says she owes a lot of people an apology. Juniper apologises at Julian's grave for all she did to him, saying that she accused him of not knowing the meaning of true Jacobism when no-one seems to. She also apologises for doing harm to Clem, and says she will try to put things right.
Alice visits Clem in the Peteran monastery to tell her that Juniper confessed to witchcraft under pressure and shame from Thorne. Of course, Juniper isn't a witch, but she previously admitted to everyone that she misled them about everything including the witches. Thorne will be putting Juniper on trial. Clem goes to the trial to try and talk Thorne out of killing Juniper, but Thorne slits her throat anyway, much to Clem's horror. Then, Owen interrupts, and shows off his magic to the entire crowd... and to Volpe.
Clem does the Peteran Night of Mourning, when people come and light candles for the dead and get things off their chest to her. Violeta, her father, and Owen come and light candles for people and speak to her. She reconciles more with Alistair, and appreciates Violeta's uplifting words. Violeta tells her Juniper's death was not her fault, alistair offers to fight for her if she doesn't want to, and Owen vents a bit about having lost his license to practice as a physician due to him using magic on patients without their consent. He uses magic in his alchemical 'remedies', which he does not market as such, and uses the Katharis (scruberoo) spell to clean wounds in emergency situations.
Stands up for Owen at his witch trial.
The Jacoban Justicers get restarted after hundreds of years, and Clem is of course pissed. The Peteran regulars Liliana, Susana, Elias, Julius, all say they will support her no matter what. And of course Alice does too, having converted to Peterism.
She is stabbed and nearly killed by a Jacoban Justicer in her own monastery. If it weren't for Maddie, Dan and Róisín, she'd be dead. Maddie kills him and Róisín saves her with lunar magic. She becomes thankful to Lunvin to this, and prays to her and wears a moon-shaped belt in slight devotion and thanks.
Reynold tells her about what happened to Róisín. She's incredibly pissed off to know that Áine blamed him and made him want to kill himself and says she'll hold her accountable for almost killing her brother even if she is her first female friend. (To be truthful, this ends up being a plot hole because this doesn't happen.)
Peterism has been warped beyond recognition, as has Jacobism, and Lunvinism seems to do nothing but shame its worshippers. Clem is tired of religion in all its forms, and thinks it is only causing problems.
Clem makes a last-ditch attempt at trying to talk Thorne down, which of course fails. Clem tells him both of their religions have come apart at the seams and won't last another two-hundred years. He asks if she'd care if Peterism dissolved and she says no.

Eduardo Volpe

Which popular Divided character has died in the past year? If you said Lord Eduardo Volpe, you are wrong, he was never popular. Disgraced Tartosan noble who fucked things up there who decided to move to Henford and fuck things up there instead. Figurehead of the anti-witch movement. Famously killed by forner physician Owen Annorin. 'Do no harm' indeed.

During a check-up with Owen, Volpe goes on a tirade about witches, knowing Owen is in a position as his doctor to be forced not to argue with him about it. He tells Owen he's worried about Owen's health as well as his 'attempts at philanthropy', saying he shouldn't be trying to keep the poor alive. Owen of course says it's his job to keep people alive. He also tells Volpe to basically get with the times. Volpe tries to threaten him by saying he knows he has magic, and subtly threatening to reveal it if he keeps on. He brings up Owen's father, and Owen essentially says that his father was only a yes-man to him because he had no choice and that, unlike his father, Owen is NOT afraid of him.
During a witch-burning, Jacoban Great Convincer Juniper Yarnold tells Volpe not to burn her, and tells her instead to let her slit her throat as burning ruins the body and soul, the soul of which needs to be intact for the Watcher's judgment. Volpe burns her anyway. Juniper words it to him as 'wouldn't you prefer she be punished for eternity?' but she's in reality trying to talk him out of burning her.
After getting humiliated by Kat at his attempted recruitment drive, he thinks back to Samuel, and to Owen as a teenager. He often acted like an uncle to him (or so he says) and Owen always rejected him. He mentions that the Annorin family was his first introduction to magic being used in a beneficial manner, but notes that the witches who killed his family were probably healers too. He re-reads Samuel's letters and wonder if he let him get away with too much. He still doesn't get why Owen devotes himself to the everyday people when most of them hate his guts. He tries to ignore the ramblings that Samuel did not die by illness as Owen had told everyone... Volpe admits to himself that he still sees Owen in a familial sense in a way, and for once, we see him hesitate to want to do something about someone.
Straight after, one of Volpe's witchfinders says he found a cohort dead via vampire attack. When Volpe asks how this could happen, the witchfinder bluntly tells him that he shouldn't have asked a physician of all people for help killing a vampire.
When Owen outs himself as a spellcaster to everyone in front of Volpe at Juniper's trial, Volpe says he won't do anything about him there and then but tells him he will lose all of his 'comforts' as a result of people knowing his secret, including his career. Owen, being Owen, couldn't give less of a toss.
After the said 'go fuck yourself' speech delivered by Owen at the trial, and the way that Clem and Owen alike got people thinking, as well as the death of a well-known figure... Volpe fears that he is 'losing (his) grasp on the masses', as he puts it. He talks to three of his witchfinders, John, Charles, and Maddie, and they begin to lose faith in him when he chickens out of burning Owen at the stake. Volpe's temptation to spare Owen stems from the fact that Owen is the only spellcaster who ever told him his children didn't deserve what happened to them. Interestingly, Volpe does not want Owen's family targeted - 'let the children grow up the way mine didn't.' Volpe also thinks about the fact that Samuel was a friend of his, but eventually decides that Owen is a spellcaster and, because of that, he has to die.
Volpe does not expect so many people to stand up for Owen Annorin at his own witch trial. Róisín, Katlego, Eli and more stand up for him for various reasons. What Volpe doesn't account for...to be fair, what everyone doesn't account for - is the fact that Owen is no longer under the oath he swore to. Enter Valravn...and things don't end well for Volpe. He is fried to death with Owen's Fulguris spell. Despite his death, it will take far more than killing the right guy to rid Henford of his hateful beliefs and his lapdogs. Owen tells him before killing him that, in all his worrying about witches being a danger to him, he tried to spare the one that was a genuine threat to him.

Violeta Vasile Nicolae

Artist, vampire, problematic queen, Violeta devoted a good chunk of these acts trying to follow in the footsteps of her late son Oskar Nivelheim, assisting the witches, defending them, and trying to help out in somewhat less violent ways where she could. She moved to Windenburg in the end of the story to be closer to her son's grave.

A witchfinder that tries going after Violeta - who she drains and kills - mentions the Annorins 'taking sides' and that Volpe killed one vampire and could kill another. She remembers how her son was killed - by drinking from a witchfinder who ingested a cure for vampirism. Violeta thinks this sounds incredibly fishy as there's no way Owen would agree to curing vampirism. He has no reason to and it goes entirely against his principles as a physician. He explains that he screwed Volpe over for four years by giving him a fake cure and pretending to sympathise with his cause. He calls it a 'placebo', something that inspires him tricking Volpe into thinking it will work just to soothe his conscience rather than solve his issue. He mentions that Volpe can't accuse him of swindling him since he did it for free. Violeta is quite impressed by this.
In order to get Clem and Violeta to not turn on each other and try and work together, she tells them her story. She lived in Ravenwood with her parents, happily, and her mother urged her to marry so she would be happy. She ended up getting with a customer of their business, Eugen, who was always complimenting her and around her age, eventually falling in love with him. She was chased and bitten by a vampire, and was turned.

She felt guilty after her first kill and she was crying to her parents about what happened worried they'd give up on her, the last time she would ever cry. They told her they would love her no matter what. However, Eugen would not, being fearful of her and also noting her decreased libido and her lack of interest in him when intimate, a common symptom of vampirism...or, moreso, of an unhappy relationship. She remained patient in case he came about in time, but he didn't, often berating her. She would go fishing in the nearby forest and even thought of killing him.

Violeta makes friends with - and begins to fall for - a sex worker. After making good friends with her and also taking up her services, Eugen catches her in the act, and hits her for it...to which Violeta feigns an apologetic look, offers out a hand...then turns into her darker form and kills him.
Clem and Juniper are surprised she seems to forgive the woman who turned her. She states that the strigoi are thought to be 'wronged in life and died in devastation' similar to Tsuna's circumstances. Violeta sees it very much as a cycle of trauma in womanhood, also thinking of her mother's own hardships despite her loving husband. 'When all you know is a life of misery, what else do you have to show for it?' She blames men for being the reason behind women's cruelty. She also says that what the woman did to her made her powerful.
She tries to uplift Clem at the Peteran Fortnight of Mourning. She tells her Juniper's death was not her fault.
She forces a witchfinder to be a subject for the art class focusing on the theme of 'fear', and she terrifies him in vampire form, leading to some interesting paintings. Dinah asks her if she really wants to go back to her old weays, and she thinks about how the art classes have empowered women - only there will be no women left to empower if she doesn't go back to it. Once again, Violeta chooses violence.
Violeta makes posters with James's description, wanted posters advertising a fifty thousand Simoleon reward from Owen Annorin by anyone who finds him. She does not charge Áine for it as Oskar thought the world of her, and also because she knows the pain of losing a son to murder.
When Áine attacks Maddie, Violeta chimes in. She tells her that she can give Maddie a second chance like she gave to her, Oskar, and Owen.'You have the right to be angry, you have the right to be vengeful - but we mustn't let it distract you from your goals.' She tells her that violence is not her true calling - it's protecting the witches, the same way Violeta now sees hers as paintings.

Madilyn Eldridge

A former witchfinder, once one of Volpe's top dogs, who changed her perspective on him when he wanted to spare Owen's life. It was less a moral decision and more the fact she thought he was an idiot. Almost devoid of compassion, Maddie's morals (or lack thereof) are a mystery to everyone but herself.

Maddie is introduced late in Act Five, when she loses faith in Lord Volpe because of his sudden chickening-out of killing Owen Annorin. As far as she was concerned, every witch had to die, so why is he sparing the one mega-rich one? She realises Volpe is an idiot.
When she and Dan take food to the Peteran refugees, Clem almost kills her because of her witchfinder uniform until Dan explains what's going on. When Clem is almost killed by a Jacoban, Maddie manages to kill him, giving Róisín enough time to save her life via...moon magic? Alistair gets her to keep an eye on the monastery for a short while.
Maddie, John and Charles eventually take it upon themselves to go after their former colleagues. It helps that people are so surprised that Maddie, of all people, would turn things around like that. It made them easier to kill.
Eventually, Maddie, John and Charles make enough money to rent a place to live.
She crosses paths with James Tanner, one of Volpe's best and more devoted to Volpe than the Jacobans are to the Watcher. He accuses her of going soft and she tells him how stupid he is, and how stupid James is for continuing to follow in his footsteps. The two fight and she leaves him for dead...or so she thinks. Unfortunately, what she has done (or rather, what she didn't do) has set in motion events that will worsen the conflict in a way nobody could predict. James made a plan with two other men that involved faking an injury at the Peteran monastery to get Róisín to come out. However, James has a very real injury, so makes his way to the Annorin mansion...
Dan confronts Maddie on her possibly trying to kill a man because she thought he was a witchfinder. Maddie is disturbed - not only is James still alive, but Róisín cured him and now he knows about her! Maddie sets out straight away to look for him. What she doesn't know, is that her just setting out is around the same time James kidnaps Róisín. She goes to tell Clementia as many details as possible. She then goes to the mansion with Dan so they can ask Josiah for more info.
Maddie bangs into Áine whilst looking for Róisín and tags along with her, but when she finds what is Róisín burned at the stake, for the first time in many years she feels bad. Róisín was such a sweet girl and not a dangerous witch at all. Maddie offers Áine whatever help she can give to track down James and kill him.
Maddie tries to get information out of the woman at the inn about James and where he went off to or if she heard anything, but she doesn't have much to go on. She does say that he hit her and threatened her for information on the whereabouts of the 'healing magic witch'. Maddie thinks that he might be easier to find than they think. Men like him are full of ego and overconfidence and he won't feel the need to cover his tracks, potentially, or he'll think he's untouchable.
Maddie has James brought to her tied with rope by Abigail, as he tried to attack her settlement. He tries to snitch and tell them that Maddie is also a witchfinder until she kicks the shit out of him. He questions why all this furore over one witch and not the others.Maddie narrates that her importance to Owen, and the massive reward, probably has something to do with it.
Maddie narrates a little a few days after Áine goes off against the witchfinders, saying the tables had turned. Witchfinders no longer had a figurehead, but now the witches did - they had Áine. Áine becomes a sort of political prop for the witchfinders to act like they were always right because witches are murderous, as evidenced by Áine. Some people, however, came around, believing Áine was right to defend her daughter. 'One man told her that he was glad she was doing something, and that he wished he could have done something about it before so many lives had been lost. She put a hand on his shoulder and said he could have done something about it, but he instead chose to do nothing.' However, there's a slight problem - the witchfinders she keeps killing keep recognising Maddie.
Áine attacks Maddie after she has a memory of her as a witchfinder. Maddie takes her to the ground and holds her sword above her. She thinks that she killed her daughter, but she doesn't. She was trying to protect her. She is truthful about everything she tells her, and admits that she has no morals or compassion. She tells her that she needs to let imperfect people help her if she's going to get any help at all.

Elijah Annorin

Owen Annorin's younger brother. A woodworker who also eventually works with stone, metal, and even makes crystal wands. He ends up doing a lot of work for the Magic Realm and for the Annorin mansion making assistive objects such as wheelchairs or canes.

Eli has led quite a sheltered life since he and Dan broke up after a clash over Dan not telling Eli about being a witchfinder and Dan's accusations of him being too emotional. Eli has drowned himself in his work to try and cope and is trying to diminish his own feelings. He has only spoken to relatives or clients, and is surprised to see Dan after so many years. He ends up spilling his heart out to Dan anyway about worrying for Owen's health. They both apologise to one another, and Dan tells him he's got four years' worth of bottled-up emotions. Dan hugs him and suggests being friends again. Friends. Hmm...
Eli makes Owen a tourmaline wand to help with his spellcasting. Wands are historically used as assistive measures for disabled, sick or elderly spellcasters, concentrating the beam of magic to a smaller surface area to expend less bodily magic. It seems to help him, and he thanks him for the kind gift.
Eli stands up for his brother at his witch trial, and also witnesses him brutally murder Lord Volpe. He thanks Valravn for helping his brother and tells her to take care of him. Normally, Eli doesn't like Owen being violent, but he doesn't really care this time. Volpe is just that much of an asshole.
He checks in on Róisín after she flees from the scene of Volpe. He tells her not to be afraid of Owen, he would never do something this drastic with just anybody. Eli fears that his brother has 'started a revolution that he won't be able to finish.'
Dan visits after what happened with Volpe to check on Eli. He's confused as to why Eli isn't that bothered. He admits he knows what Owen is capable of and tells him about how he arranged Samuel's murder. Eli and Dan argued some years ago about Dan withholding information, and Eli has done this as well now...especially considering Dan's brother works for him. So understandably, Dan is a bit pissed.
Eli goes to Glimmerbrook to visit his sister. He's a bit upset she's not sent him any letters. He explains everything to Áine about what happened with Owen and Volpe since he saw it happen. He's worried about the thought of Owen not having anything to do and that it would probably drive both him and Lydia mad. There's a discussion about Owen going to Glimmerbrook to teach alchemy.
Eli is heartbroken to find out about his niece Róisín. Owen tries to comfort him. He begs Owen to stay out the eventual conflict saying he doesn't want to lose any more family. He also fears that Áine will go mad with revenge and potentially get herself killed. He begs Owen to try and talk to her.

Daniel Reyes

Once forced into Volpe's employ before his father managed to get him out of it. He worked as a fisherman with his father and now assists Eli in his business. He did his part to help reform witchfinders and find them alternative employment after Volpe's murder.

Dan asks Kat for a card reading involving romance...is somebody considering getting back with an ex? Perhaps.
Dan interrupts a potential attack on Kat and Ellie's cabin by a young witchfinder who reveals he's only in it because Volpe took him in off the streets and he has no family. He's terrified when Kat turns into a tiger. After the ordeal, Edwin throws his sword away into the river, listens to Dan trying to talk things through then takes up his offer to go and live with him and get away from Volpe. He agrees. Edwin is only about seventeen and impressionable, which Dan understands.
Dan visits Eli for the first time after four years to apologise, and tries to console him about his issues. Later on, he and Eli eventually decide to rekindle their relationship. Eli tells him he misses him and that life is short, as Oskar and potentially Owen has shown him so he wants to make the most of it and get back with him.
Daniel argues with people in the inn who are defending Volpe and tells him the truth about what he's like. When they say they're struggling for money and that Dan looks like a rich guy who couldn't care less, he offers them work helping with the family's fishing. He proves he has the money to do it using the 7,000 Simoleon receipt Owen gave him for his order of fish for Valravn.
Dan is initially against letting the witchfinders join them to make money fishing when they decide to leave Volpe behind, especially when they ask him to take up a sword against Volpe's witchfinders.
Dan is made to go with Maddie to the Peteran monastery to deliver food to the refugees. He doesn't trust her, but she tells him that he trusts Gideon after all he's done - so why not her?
Dan gets told some possibly disturbing news by Maddie from Róisín, and the truth couldn't be scarier... Dan and Maddie to to ask Josiah at the mansion about it, and he suggests to try Glimmerbrook. On the way back home, they just so happen to walk right past Katlego's old cabin, abandoned and in their eyes, empty.
Dan is in the inn with Maddie and Áine. He mentions that Gideon knew her father, and that he's been meaning to find her for about sixteen years, but soon shuts his mouth before he admits Gideon was a witchfinder.
Áine reacts badly to the news of both Dan and Gideon being witchfinders at one point. Dan tells her straight that there are no perfect victims in this. He doesn't like most of the witchfinders either, but if they can gain more allies, then why not? She walks out, upset and refusing to accept Dan or Gideon's words.

Gideon Reyes

Former witchfinder and eventual tired old man, Gideon manages to leave his life of violence behind and eventually helps to try and reform witchfinders as well as trying to monetarily assist those who have left Volpe's employ.

He meets Róisín when she delivers his medicine. He recognises her name because he knows her as Eli's niece from Dan's conversations. He says he may have known her grandfather, Brádach, and wants to tell her about him considering he'd been looking for her mother for years to tell her about him. He tells Róisín that he threw people to the wolves, but so did Gideon. He believes that whilst it does not excuse what Brádach did, the culture surrounding fear and hatred of witches was what caused Saoirse's death. He wouldn't have done that if they did not have to fear for their lives.
Maddie, John and Charles visit Gideon knowing he was one of Volpe's best before he packed it in and found another way. Gideon tells them a part of why he left is because he was sick of answering to the rich. They heard he helped people earn money more safely and reliably. Gideon says they can help with his fishing business so long as they promise to work towards reform.
When dividing money and food with the three witchfinders, Dan is annoyed and asks why they get a reward when they've shown no remorse for what they've done. Gideon says they have money to live and eat, and the witchfinders don't. They can't make an attempt at reform without food and shelter is his way of thinking.
Áine meets Gideon in order to find out more about Brádach. He explains that he chased him off when he found out the truth, but also has to explain that the two of them were witchfinders. Áine of course loses it. He explained to her that he needed money for his children, who always come first. And that he has not been a witchfinder for many years. Dan and Edwin both get involved. Gideon tells her she deserves to feel the way she does, but: 'We've both destroyed families for the sake of our own - whether you want to admit it or not.' She walks out, upset and refusing to accept Dan or Gideon's words.

Róisín Ó Sé

Áine and Reynold's teenage daughter, and newest member of the mooncasters, a dying community. She has her father's kindness and her mother's determination. Ultimately, her attempts to help the witches ended up costing her her young life.

Róisín grows bored of Glimmerbrook and expresses interest in going back to Henford to visit her family, but many at the settlement state that it may not be safe to do so. She is looking forward to eventually becoming a werewolf, but sadly, her life is taken before she gets the chance to find her wolf form.
She struggles to balance her emotions. Difficult enough as a teenage girl. Twice as difficult when your emotions are greatly affected by the moon, especially the full moon rage mooncasters get. Reynold tries to make her feel better about it, telling her she isn't evil.
She eventually goes back to Henford, thanking Owen for trying to save Oskar and seeing her family again, living with Alistair. She helps Kat with herb deliveries alongside young Edwin for some time.
Róisín defends Owen at his witch trial, and runs when the deep voice in her mind (Valravn) tells her to run. She heads back home, in shock at witnessing the near-attack on Volpe (she fled before it actually happened proper). Alistair is angry that she went out to defend Owen and could have gotten killed or badly injured. Róisín asks Alistair, 'you risked your life for witches - so why can't I?' and Alistair basically says, well, the moon's not out and you're not a werewolf yet, no real way to defend yourself if needed. Róisín also asks what he would do if someone he looked up to killed somebody - only Alistair already knows this because of Oskar. Alistair says: 'When you're old enough, you'll realise that almost everyone you meet is as capable of taking a life as they are of creating or preserving one - even the people close to you and the people you admire.'
Róisín hides in the basement of her house where her father used to stay during full moons. She's getting impatient and wants to become a werewolf, but she won't be one for at least another 2-3 years. She defends herself from a witchfinder one night, only for Alistair to come over and tear her to pieces in his wolf form. Thanks, Granddad! Alistair of course tells her off for this. She's annoyed because she just wants to help and do something about it like her family and the adults she admires are doing. She wasn't want to be idly doing nothing whilst witches get slaughtered!
Róisín cures a little girl at the Peteran Monastery just outside of it, who scraped her knee running from witchfinders. She isn't a witch, she was just scared seeing them and ran. What she doesn't know is that hotshot witchfinder James Tanner saw it happen. She also does the 'moon sight' spell Reynold did all that time ago, and she was so horrified by the emotional image of the potential future she felt, and for much time after, tried to work out what this 'view' of the future could possibly mean for it.
News of the witch healing people's wounds gets to Lydia, as she struggles under the weight ofmore and more patients requiring surgery and Katlego no longer being in Henford. She's so desperate for help that she puts up a poster asking for help at the surgery hoping the witch will see it. She does. Róisín agrees to work with Lydia, since her father says to her that he doesn't want her out there risking her life the way Oskar did. It's either this, or she tries to be a hero and gets herself killed, is the way Reynold sees it. Róisín lives with Lydia in the meantime for her safety. After all, Valravn is there.
Róisín heals her first patient - a witch who was attacked. He is grateful. He warns her to not let her abilities become common knowledge, and tells her to keep her powers confined to this safer place. She uses a fake name with her patients for safety's sake. She also heals another patient... James motherfucking Tanner. It does mean his colleagues injured themselves for nothing since she wasn't at the Peteran monastery, but he's got what he wanted... He agrees with the two men helping him that they need to stage some kind of commotion outside to distract the gryphon and Lydia, and then kidnap the girl... planning to stage a sort of protest about Owen that wouldn't seem out of the ordinary.
James tells Róisín a woman by the same description as Maddie attacked him 'thinking he was a witchfinder.' Naturally concerned, she warns Dan of this, who's concerned a bit. Has Maddie gone back on her word? Can she be trusted?
Róisín asks Lydia if she can go to Glimmerbrook and visit her mother. She allows her to go and Valravn goes with her to visit Owen. Áine is not happy that she is helping Lydia out and thinks it will endanger her. It causes an argument big enough for Róisín to go straight back on Valravn.
When she returns, Valravn tells Róisín to go and hide whilst she kills the witchfinders, a mob outside protesting Owen's witchcraft and 'poor' practice. Róisín is kidnapped by James. They take her to Kat's old cabin where no-one will go looking for it considering everyone knows it's abandoned.
James hopes to recruit her so she can heal the witchfinders, noting that Lydia is way too expensive. She of course refuses. When James says they are all in it for the necessity, Róisín says that isn't true because Volpe is dead and they aren't getting paid. He says he plans to try and 'rebuild', they all will. It turns out that James knew her grandfather who saved his own skin by getting his wife killed. Róisín says that she won't throw her own people under the bus. When they force her to demonstrate her powers outside the next night, she disintegrates two of the men with lunar magic, a very powerful (too powerful for her) spell called the Lunvincrier, the 'lunar scream' - and passes out due to overcharge. James carries her in a way that looks like a man mourning his daughter in the muted light and ties her to the stake.
When James criticises witches for breaking the rules of nature, Róisín states: "If I had not broken the rules of nature, then you would be dead." He tells him that her mother and father will come for him, and he burns her.

Act 7 Recap

Maddie shares her story, where she was trying to make money for her sick father who raised her on his own all his life after her mother left. She used to be very caring and emotional, and working for Volpe took that from her. She lost an eye fighting witchfinders.
Violeta went to Windenburg to be closer to her dead son. Before she went, she lamented to Dinah about having not seen her face for 200+ years so her art class paint some portraits for her.
Owen has built and funded the Eyrie, an orphanage that aims to try and find parents for the many children orphaned by the conflict, most are likely to be witch children. He gave Abigail the 100,000 Simoleon reward and now she has turned her settlement into a safe and educational place for witches.
Reynold and Clementia turned the Peteran monastery into the House of Friends, a sort of community center. A witch that aimed to reunite dead witches with family, and never once succeeded, did this time thanks to the publicity of what happened: Róisín's body was reunited with Reynold and buried outside of the House of Friends.
Katlego adopts a young witch boy, who she called Moeti, who wandered into the realm by mistake and was never reunited with his parents. She taught him Mischief magic, and he eventually succeeded her as Mischief Sage. Ellie taught in the Realm alongside her and was by Kat's side all the way up until her death by old age.
Eli and Dan live and work together in Eli's house, and adopted two children that ended up with magic - Annie and Sarah.
Rowland, the boy Owed saved, is one of his students.
Owen's overcharge sickness got too bad and he eventually retired. He lived the last of his days cosied up beside Lydia and was surrounded by love and family when he died in his early sixties, dying with Valravn in his arms. Valravn ended up bonded to his son Simon in the future. Simon was a physician, Constance a snooty surgeon, Ophelia had no magic and learned alchemy, and August was undecided because he struggled to learn magic.
Alistair died at Lunvik the traditional way, where the wolves ate his dead body. His remains were buried in Lunvik as requested by him.
Reynold grew ill when he was older, and he and Áine shared a last kiss in spite of not being together for years. He died the same way Alistair did, out in Lunvik so the wolves could eat him, and he was buried beside his daughter at the House of Friends.
Tsuna found peace teaching Practical magic. About ten years later, she finally passed on, giving Áine as much love and support as she could as Áine was not prepared to start losing her friends and loved ones.
Áine was devastated from having to lose all of her loved ones, but three-hundred years later, she remains teaching Untamed magic but due to witches' pallor (the illness Owen had) is looking for a successor, only she hasn't had a dedicated Untamed caster in years...enter Morgyn Ember, whose story will be told in Imago.
