Lords of the Night - adanter/PetroviaWorldbuilding GitHub Wiki

The "Lords of the Night" are sapient night creatures with the power to create and command other night creatures. Each one is said to be unique with respect to its form, personality, research interests, motivations, and style.

Though most night lords "hold court" over at least a small group of their own creations and many seem to prefer abandoned castles as laboratory sites, the term "Lord of the Night" is a Petrovian simplification and personification. More accurately, these creatures can be any gender (including agender), and aren't guaranteed to be even remotely humanoid in mind or body.

Known Night Lords

The full list of night lords is unknown to the common Petrovian, and even the most avid lore-seeker is only likely to have heard of the following few.

  • The Clever Wolf (folkloric being rumored to be a trickster, man-eater, or patron to different people in Petrovia's deep woodlands)
  • The Dollmaker (night creature rumored to have an eye for beauty)
  • The Lender (offers supplicants a year of life after death... or possibly longer in exchange for services rendered)
  • The Stitcher (assembles new life from stitched-together body parts and electrical components)
  • The Regent (apparently the highest of the humanoid night lords)
  • The Weeper (mysterious being trapped in amber deep in a region called Weeper's Wood)
