Powers and Entities
Who and what keeps house in the seams: administrators, city spirits, belief given a body.

The Archons
The prison-world's administrators, from clerks and wardens up to correctional angels and algorithmic saints. No horns.

The Courier
The road's own egregore: one entity on every road, made of the faces of lost travelers. Courier, Linkman, and to a stranded human, Miles.

Egregores
A belief organism: a thoughtform a crowd feeds until it argues back. The Mantle, a corporate icon given meat, and a town's hidden underside are all one kind.

The Happy Face Monster
A corporate egregore wearing a mascot as flesh, with a yellow Happy Mart smiley for a head. Threat level Omega.

Hexorius
A municipal underworld intelligence, the mask hidden cities wear to speak in a human shape. Governs the Belows. At Stillwell, its spirit.

The Paramentals
Spirits of a city's infrastructure, and the population of Stillwell Below. Concrete, steel, glass and current.

Servitors
A purpose-built thoughtform with one job. Forget its kill-switch and it becomes a parasite.
