Are you dead or alive, or somewhere ... else? This is the question on most people's minds throughout the Outcast Realms, even more so for Althea Dawnwind, a made up name for a made up character that finds themself within the deadliest of games.
Lost in a world that shouldn't exist, with no memories but that they certainly weren't a woman in the real world, Al fights against everything they believe to make sense of the world.
Accompanied by Drok Dor, an eighteen year old girl in a male dwarf's body, with a complicated history of her own, Al has to fight endless hordes of monsters and his own self-doubts to reclaim the memories of another life and answer the ultimate question in the Outcast Realms: Am I alive, dead, or in some kind of limbo in between?

The Green Witches were once admired and respected members of the community. They were a bridge between the human world and the world of nature until King Roderick tried to enlist them in his war with the neighbouring kingdom of Berkanol.

She lives alone in a cottage in the forest after her father walked out and her mother died of the fever. A young woman living alone will be sure to attract the attention of the witchhunters, though.

She chooses Seventeen year old Dougal Tanner, a boy she likes and who has tried to court her a number of times but for whom she has no real feelings. She hopes that love will come later, but beginning a relationship with him means she has to make a difficult choice.
