- Silent Factor employees dress in black with veils, communicate via sign language with interpreters, and offer the highest security and privacy. [#worldbuilding | 2025-11-24]
- Wicktrimmer, a local goblin, serves as proprietor of the Rarities Factor in Gosterwick and holds right of first refusal on items from Larel’s collection. [#worldbuilding | 2025-11-24]

- On the surface level of the Arden Vul ruins, a dried-out fountain contains a statue arm believed to belong to the Arden statue. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-11-29]
