Places of Interest and the Dwellers Within
St.Calenda's Wandering Pageant, Odeum & Lunar Fair is made up of numerous locations, great and small, that make up the warp and weft of not only the day-to-day entertainments, but of the behind the scenes pageant members lives, loves and tribulations. The pageant comprises seventy odd wagons and half as many tents, but only twenty or so seem to have enough significance to count as landmarks in the nebulous night-scape of this traveling circus. Many of the locales serve as focal points for pageant-goers and pageant-folk alike.

Bestiarium
[[]]
Beasts
- -- Phython -- A serpent over twenty-five feet long, the pattern of its black and gold scales are unheard of in the known world. In the darkest hours of the night, it can sometimes be heard to speak with sibilant hissings in alien dead tongues. All those save its blind handlers must take care to avoid its hypnotic gaze and more than one pageant member has perished, swallowed whole by the dark serpent. Phython has been an exhibit of the pageant for as long as anyone can remember.
- -- Orso -- This old, brown bear male, dances and performs tricks for the visitor's children. He possesses an uncanny knack for knowing what tricks the children want. While he is a brown bear, his fur is mostly gray and no one knows how old he is, except perhaps for Bogdan the Russian. Both Orso and Bogdan were recruited into the pageant by Vulo Vodach when the pageant last came to Veliky Novgorod in the lands of the Rus.

Court of the Erlking
[[]]
The court of the Erlking is the least definable structure in the pageant, it serves as both boundary and border with the outside world. A double wall of heavily stained canvas serves to delineate the pageant from its mundane physical location, and thus the court possesses an indistinct liminal character, it is also a distinct if ephemeral place where the fae who travel with the pageant gather together in imitation of their long lost Arcadia.

The Erotes

- -- Armen -- Armen is the youthful procurer of the Erotes and a inveterate flatterer.
- -- Nahum -- A beautiful Syrian brother and sister fused together by the dark powers of the pageant after they attempted to escape, they now serve as the camp's hermaphroditic prostitute.
- -- Rasmus -- A Danish youth whose athletic body and sexual stamina make him the work-horse of the Erotes, but whose own love never seems to be fulfilled. [New Member]
- -- Sámi -- A warrior of Finland whose love of sweet southern wines and lust for more refined pleasures drew him into the pageant and he now serves the retinue as both protector and jailer.
- -- Aldo -- The Retinue's latest acquisition, Aldo's child's body and adult attitude make him a valuable commodity and he also serves to control his more emotional brother Theo. [New Member]
- -- Theotleip -- The second of the Retinue's most recent additions, his athletic body, boyish ways and beauty serve to make him a jewel among the Erotes whose services do not come cheap. A favorite among homosexual pedophiles, he serves as the most recent honey-pot of the Erotes. [New Member]
- -- Frater Eadweard -- The Saxon priest has only just joined the Erotes, but he has quickly come to fill the recently vacant role of "Hymenaeus", an ancient position long held by an older male, usually a priest of one sort or another who officiates the acts of "sacred prostitution" giving these pleasures a acceptability.

The Four Horsemen
Obviously, the four horsemen are equestrians, and as such they stand well above the other pageant performers because they are warriors who ride, rather than walk.

Odeum
[[]]
The Odeum serves as the locus of all dramatic and musical performances. But like many places within the domain of the pageant, it is amorphous, being made up of a dozen pageant-wagons that serve as a mobile stage upon which performances are streamed to the masses as the wagons pass through village or town. Alternatively, the pageant wagons can set up in a fixed location, in which case the wagons form up into a circle, cutting out sights and sounds of the greater pageant and delineating the circled wagons as a magical-mysterious place called the "Theater".
