How timely! I was contemplating asking about a character list because I definitely began to get lost. A guide for the folklore told around figures like the Ădol would be another lovely companion to the story at some point, in my opinion. The reverence for mythos and underlying themes it brings is rich and intriguing and add so much heart to the story.
I have some trouble with associating names and their respective characters, particularly minor ones. While this helps me remember those we haven’t seen for a long time, some of the entries have circular logic to them that doesn’t really inform me about who the characters are. The Adol in particular mostly have very little information about their role in the governing of the world. Héothenin for example would benefit greatly from a small note on his ties to fate and the future. Your world building is very good, I just struggle with putting names to “faces” for large settings I’m unfamiliar with. Thank you for your story.
Yes, I know. But I wanted to avoid putting in too many details about each character as I feared these details would spoil the reading. It's hard to know from my end where that line is.
I had considered adding more details about the Ădol, but I wasn't sure that would be of any interest. Perhaps I will add more...
That makes sense and it must be hard on your end since you can’t divorce yourself from the formation of these characters. You already have references to characters that are dead and some very minor spoilers like Bo Han being the queen’s brother. Most of them are quite good like Bo Han and Tano Gin, simple and straightforward that allows the reader to recall them without you telling us what to think of them (this is particularly appropriate for Tano Gin because he is morally questionable while still being honorable making my opinion on him complex). Entries like Ana San and Hino Son, however, give me little to work with. Using Ana San as an example, perhaps an entry such as “newlywed traveler” would help jog my memory for her tragedy after a lengthy period of political intrigue.

That's an interesting idea! I'll have to work on that here and there as I have time. And thank you!

Ah, that's a good idea! I will look at those and try to think of others like that. Thank you!
