This thread serves as a compilation of information, as well as a source of discussion for my [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2950720]Pinkerlocke[/url]! Due to its length and how much there can be to keep track of, I am using this to help myself and readers. This should help prevent needing to read back through the entire story in search of specific details, such as characters, locations, and objects and their roles in the story. I will mention that while current character dynamics may be mentioned, how they got to be that way will likely not be. Same goes for listing everything that's happened to a dragon. This is for the sake of space, and to keep the current iteration of a character front and center. This does not apply to known backstory details, as those exist from before the character's introduction into the Pinkerlocke. It is also important to note that dragons that are killed off [u]will not remain in this thread[/u]. They and their final description(s) will be added to End's bio. If that becomes too full I will place everything in a Google Doc and link that in their bio instead. This is again to save on clogging up this thread more than it likely will be already. Finally, if I'm missing information such as a location or character that you believe is important, inform me. Sometimes I purposefully leave these out as they will not make another appearance or are simply not important enough. ---------- Now, onto discussion. I'll try and keep it brief. Discussion is pretty obvious. Anything and everything in regards to the Pinkerlocke can be discussed here. Feel free to ask questions, but it's likely that I won't give answers to questions relating to the plot, or towards characters, especially NPCs. I do have plans and I don't want to reveal my hand to everyone. Ruins the surprise. You can also bring up some meta questions, such as how I decide on what NPCs/locations/objects to use and the like. What discussion is [b]not[/b] about is The Magnus Archives. Yes, the Pinkerlocke is heavily inspired by the podcast, and characters that are in reference to it as a result. I don't mind making some comparisons to characters or setpieces based on that, but this Pinkerlocke [u]is not TMA[/u]. It'll have parallels, sure, but the point is not to require prior knowledge of the show to follow along to my story. Prior knowledge can help, sure, but it's not necessary, and I don't want the show spoiled to those that may wind up watching it in the future. That said, have fun! Discuss theories about what's going to happen. Talk about favorite and least favorite characters. What characters you think will show up next. If an object will hold importance in the future. It's what the thread is for! -------- Finally, pinglist(s) for those who want to be pinged for updates or if I answer a group of questions or something. [quote=General Pinglist] @nekopallet @BirdeeBee [/quote] [quote=Mission Summaries] None at the moment. This is simply being used to provide me with an example of specific pings [/quote]

These dragons are the ones picked by Familiar pulls and are affected by all other pulls from Pinkerton. Dragons can all be found in [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/lair/98625/1420315?name=&type=undefined]this tab[/url]! Bios have been moved to the dragon's bios, so click them to see information on a member of the cast. Note: If a dragon has died throughout the course of the story, they will link to End when clicked on Dragon bios will eventually hold details relating to backstories and details I've either mentioned or will mention later. Nothing will be too spoiling of them going forward. More little notes and tidbits that may be important to call back to.

These list the first day a character appears, as well as the number of appearances. Information is bound to change as more is learned about each of these members. When I initially made this thread, all the NPCs I had made didn't have dragons that corresponded to them. Now that I have a beefy cast of NPCs to pluck from, NPC deaths are treated a little differently. If I [b][i]don't[/i][/b] have a dragon for an NPC and they die, their ending description will wind up in End's bio, leaving their space blank of information like in the cast post. If I [b][i]do[/i][/b] own a dragon, the description will be removed, but placed in the dragon bio and the dragon moved to a (currently nonexistent) tab in my Hibernal Den. Anyways, here's the known NPCs: (Note that some are copy-pasted directly from the Pinkerlocke thread as no new updates can be made) [columns] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/643983441683284009/792133621657501737/Tobias.png[/img] [nextcol] [u]Tobias Holland - Ice[/u] Introduction - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2950720#post_45793370]Day 2[/url] Number of Appearances: 1 Serving as current head of the Holland family and the uncle of Maria Holland. His family has had ties with the Corvus Institute for generations, and Tobias is in charge of keeping up this partnership between the two. However, it seems that he and his family are growing frustrated with the institute's side of things, taking actions they wouldn't do normally.

She also possesses some sort of ability that appeared to distort space or at least the perception of the manor staff when encountered. With her demeanor and views on the staff means it is likely she will reappear, and when she does, it will not be good.

She is in charge of watching the family's residential home when gatherings aren't taking place, ensuring no intruders break in. She doesn't like most dragons not related to her family, doubly so if they visit the home. After a fight with Zylen and Meir, she sports multiple scars that she tries to keep hidden. Known to create mist and illusory copies of herself. Unknown if other members of the family share this ability.

States he has memory problems, and despite a neat hand, all writing he produces is strangely warped. He also has knowledge of codes, both in solving and creating them. Issac has agreed to receive letters from Zylen on the mansion's progress, but not to directly help at this time. Whatever happened to cause his current scarring and memory issues was a result of helping the mansion before, and he doesn't want to risk it again until the current staff knows better.

Claimed her nightmares were brought forth after touching a strange black rock, and all nightmares appeared to cease after being taken in to the manor. She currently resides in the Corvus Institute's care, seeking a way to permanently be rid of the nightmares.

After it became known she was the sole survivor, photos of her family began to shift into dragons impossible to be related to her. She still was able to recall who was in each photo, even as the image shifted before her and the members of the manor present.

Believes in some sort of moon goddess. Started performing a ceremony involving a strange bowl and requiring Sornieth's second moon, addressed as Echo in a speech prior to the ceremony's performance. Was able to detect Zylen through his Shadow magic concealment, and can move without making a sound. Name and other abilities are currently unknown.

There are many locations found within my Pinkerlocke. The ones listed here are important in one way or another. While rooms within Magpie Manor and portal locations are important, some outside locations will be revisited. Other locations may wind up being revisited, but may appear indirectly down the line in the form of writing or recollection from individuals.

This section is split into three parts. These are Magpie Manor and the branches of the Corvus Institute, Portal entrances, and other locations. Note that unless a branch name has been revealed to the cast, it will remain unknown and not listed. I also apologize for overlap.

---

Magpie Manor, the Corvus Institute, and institute branches:

Magpie Manor:

• Portal Room - This is the room the Pinkerlocke cast uses to travel quickly to mission areas. An old tome with personal notes scribbled on the pages helps provide advice on portal locations.
• Library - Where Zylen does his work. A massive vertical room whose size is only rivaled by the Archives in the basement, the library holds the mansion's massive book collection. Many strange and dangerous books are contained within. Books were once regularly introduced and checked out, but that has since stopped.
• Archives - Where Elanor and Jeremiah work. Located in the basement, the archives are expanded outward using Earth magic. As such, once out of the first direct archive room, the oldest entries are the closest, while the newest entries are located in the deepest sections. A hallway separates each major "room" of the archives for easy navigation, but each is also directly connected in various spots.
• Scribe's Study - Where Micah works. Recently put back in use, the room is full of writing implements and papers. Mission reports are written here now that a Scribe has been hired. As the Scribe holds great importance to the manor the crew is certain there are secrets to be found within the room, but none have been uncovered yet.
• Reliquary Room - Where Apollyon works. This room is a subset of the Archives, massive and with large portions still empty. It was initially locked off from the rest of the cast until Apollyon was hired and given a key. Now plastered with a warning and still locked on occasion, all that's known is dangerous relics lurk inside, and that the relics within span across the entire span of dragonkind's existence on Sornieth.
• Theatre - Another large room in the manor, the theatre is supposed to be locked off from the staff. After sneaking in and some help from Elanor, it's been mostly unlocked but yet to be explored thoroughly. The space that has been opened up is cluttered with props and old outfits that were hastily shoved into open space and left there. Zylen currently explores based on cryptic writing from Darryn found on a slip of paper recovered from a secret room.
• Panic Room - Where Clancy resides. Revealed when she tore away at a wall, this room is sealed with five locks, two physical keyholes, a runic keyhole, and two number pads. The room itself is meant to hold four medium-sized dragons, with space and bedding for all.
• Hedge Maze - An outside structure, the hedge maze is a fun centerpiece of the manor grounds. Large and sprawling, a small garden area is located at its center. While most fly over the maze to get to this relaxation spot, Howl patrols it on foot at least once a day in search of intruders within its walls.
• Graveyard - A now largely unused plot of land, the Graveyard once served a larger purpose when the Manor still housed residents. While there are new graves dedicated to those lost in recent events, the only body buried there is Elanor's.
• Recreation Lake - A large lake located at the back of the property, this lake is stocked with fish and contains a nearby boathouse should dragons wish to fish or swim. Isolated from most other features, the area is quiet, and from the center, shorelines can barely be seen.
• Zylen's Room (Cubby) - Behind a painting in Zylen's room is a button, and once pressed, a hidden cubby opens to reveal his personal stash. Contained inside is a Wildclaw claw retrieved from his first mission, old map blueprints with notes by Darryn, and Meir's Filet.
• Secret Office #1 - Hidden behind a bookshelf, this small office was once used by Darryn. Under the carpet is a safe with a note hinting at the combination being located in the theatre's backstage.

Corvus Institute and branches:

• Corvus Institute - Located in Light Territory; the main branch
• Rook's Coven - Located in Shadow Territory; branch closest to the manor
• Daurian's Circle - Located in Arcane Territory; branch Micah used to work at

---

Portal Entrances: (Note: Not all names are known)

• Rook's Coven - Shadow - The portal this sister branch was built around.
• Alcor Industries - Lightning - A company that owns a lightning farm and a portal, the institute pays to use the portal. This portal is also surrounded in wires, and the location is in an administration building instead of the lightning farm.
• Unknown Museum - Nature
• Aerie Courtyards - Wind - Located in one of over fifty enclosed spaces in the courtyard, the portal has been preserved. The institute paid for the repairs to the portal in exchange for access and use.
• Holland Residence - Ice - The main home of the Holland family, this is the main portal into the Southern Icefield. Access was granted generations ago when a deal was struck between the family and the Institute.
• Unknown Temple - Nature
• Ironclaw Forge - Fire - This portal is protected by members of the Forge. While the Portal may have once been part of a deal, but has since become more of a gift with prolonged alliance and friendship.
• Yvnael University - Arcane - The main partner to Daurian's Circle, the positive relationship between the two has allowed both the branch and Magpie Manor to use the portal.

---

Other Locations:

• Cumulus Hills (Coldstone Cairns) - Lightning
• Rusty Ravine (Den of Disasters) - Earth

Artifacts are various objects found within the story of the Pinkerlocke. They may or may not be anomalous, but often are. These are split into five categories: Books, Tools, Relics, Modern Items, and everything else.

Books are self-explanatory as pieces of abnormal literature. Tools are objects that serve a purpose, which includes weapons as well as most mundane objects used for various tasks and jobs. Relics are pieces of the past, and refers to anything old (including tools if beyond repair/use), including things such as bones. Modern items are anything "new", and includes things such as clothing, toys, movie reels, and most modern technology. Everything else includes things such as modern art pieces and things that are more intangible such as audio recordings and music.


Books:

Author is listed where Applicable, as are known details

• Explorations in the Dark, Volume 1 - Eclair Rivlyn - Housed strange symbols on the cover that Zylen did not recognize
• Keeping Distance: Hatchling Rearing for Experimental Purposes - Recovered on a mission to a hidden lab.

Tools:

• Unknown Blade - Recovered by Apollyon on a solo mission. Instead of delivering it to the Institute, he instead kept it in the Reliquary Room. Upon the recovery of the Obsidian Blade, this relic was revealed as another blade possessing a similar effect.
• Obsidian Blade - Recovered from an archaeological site, Apollyon deduced it as unsafe and cursed. Responsible for a violent outburst by the one who uncovered and handled it.
• Elegant Bowl - A bowl used in a strange ceremony on Day 89. While used in the ceremony, shown to produce impossibly dark liquid. Creates an amount larger than what should be possibly contained within the bowl. Zylen, Jeremiah, and Howl sent to recover it after being stolen. Recovery currently deemed a failure after the trio was attacked by the group currently in possession of the object.

---

Relics:

• Pottery Shard - An early recovered artifact, this piece of pottery was covered in an unknown pattern. Staring at the shard was physically hard on all who viewed it.
• Obsidian Dragon Figurine - Depicting a currently unknown dragon breed, the small figure has flames located at its feet. Supposedly tied to burns/burning.

---

Modern Items:

• Glass eye rings (Shadow and Ice) - Once owned by Meir and Zylen, Meir's ring has since been passed on to Elanor. The paired eyes allow to see through the eyes of the wearer of the other ring. No senses are shared besides sight, and it requires focus on the location of the other ring.
• Old Doll - An old, filthy Mirror doll that was once kept in the Reliquary Room. It now serves as a sort of 'shell' for the pest in the mansion. Scratches either from the claws of the doll or the pest itself leave dragons rapidly drained and ill, but not fatally so.
• Prop Lamp - A prop recovered from the island where some of Darryn's notes were recovered. Properties are largely unknown, but supposedly warped perception of the area and those within the effect of lamp when touched. Resulted in the highly damaged landscape where it resided.

---

Others:

• Abnormal Wildclaw Claw - From the first mission taken on by the cast. Two were recovered, with one sent off to the Corvus Institute and the other in Zylen's possession.
• Skeletal Art Installation - This installation was marked by a maze of scorched lines in a burned down area of a forest. Crossing over these lines resulted in burns and the death of smaller wildlife, such as birds. Jars of liquid were placed over symbols that were also scorched into the ground, some holding unknown objects. The center held a structur built out of carbonized dragon bones, partially painted and arranged in the shape of a pillar of fire. The entire structure radiated heat, but not enough to prevent recovering bone chips and paint. The structure was destroyed in an explosion of flame shortly afterwards.
• Unknown Relic - A seemingly innocent looking object related to burning. Eowyn perished after interacting with this relic, and it's true appearance is still unknown
• Dragon Sculpture - A sculpture shown an an art gallery. Takes the shape of a Pearlcatcher with many notable differences. Supposedly responsible for an incident where the room housing it was shrouded in darkness, resulting in an unknown number of injuries and fatalities. Holds two spheres believed to be Sornieth's moons, observed to have slowly darkened before the incident.

Darryn's Notes:

• Island notes (1) - Notes in regards to time spent away from the manor. Talks of various groups, and writing slowly degrades in readability as his visits drag on. He mentions various groups in these notes, but no exact names. States the gift of a prop lantern, whose affects and details were kept in a separate journal.
• Island notes (2) - A compilation on the effects and use of a prop lamp formerly owned by Darryn. Most notes state who took the lamp if Darryn didn't use it himself. Depending on the archivist's mental state at the time, details range from cold and clinical to deranged and manic. All are disturbing as it becomes clear little care is shown towards the victims.

Letters are pieces of mail delivered to specific cast members. Each takes on specific traits in regards to appearance, how the receiver is addressed, how the letter is written, and so on. These traits and the author, both aliases and real name, if known will be listed here.

The crew has also received a letter that lays out some rules for letters, listed here:

• Strange letters are to not be ignored for any reason.
• Only the dragon the letter is addressed to is to read it. If multiple are addressed, only one needs to read it, but all are free to read it.
• Information in the letter can be shared after being read, unless barred by some magical means.
• Once read, the letter is to be delivered to the Archivist or taken to the Archives for filing purposes
• Unless requested, a letter should never be destroyed

(Pinging you from the Pinkerlocke pinglist. If you would like to be added to the discussion pinglist, post here. If you'd like to be removed from the Pinkerlocke pinglist, please ping me in that thread.)

Finally, after way too long I've gotten around to setting this up! I decided that instead of dragging myself through the entire thing to locate any more missing objects and characters, I'd set up what i have and hope you guys could possibly help. I'd rather set this up in a mostly complete state instead of prolonging posting it more than I have already.

Seriously, if there are characters, objects, or locations missing or some form of incorrect information, please let me know! This is a lot for me to go back through so I'm bound to have missed things.

Since this is a discussion thread, you are welcome and encouraged to post anything pertaining to the Pinkerlocke! I'm subscribed so pinging me isn't necessary, but I don't mind them. I'm curious to see what comes about from this thread and I'd love to talk with readers when I find the time.

With this finally here, the Pinkerlocke will hopefully continue starting tomorrow! Work has been incredibly nice the past couple weeks, so hopefully that keeps up. for this week. It's so nice to just be done with this absolutely unnecessary hiatus and the demotivation that came about due to it.

I'd love to be added to your general pinglist please!

Ping please!
