People and Places

Sunset Manor is Ray's ancestral home, with each new generation contributing to its many resources and defenses. The manor proper, as it exists on the material plane, has been long forsaken as a humble facade. The true home of his line lies on its own plane, a network of planar portals and extradimensional pockets transcending three-dimensional space, with the family library and other treasures at its nexus.

Ray Sunset is an artificer-transmuter, the sole survivor of an ancient lineage of mages. Having received no formal training, his abilities are narrowly focused on only his innate talents and personal fascinations. For the most part, this revolves around the animation of objects to create magical constructs. It is from this ability that Delthorensdale has sprung; what once served merely as a mining colony to fuel his incessant tinkering has grown into an underground hive bustling with artificial life.

Most notable of Sunset's creations is Blutherstein, whose magic is catalyzed by a unique crystal gifted to him by an interdimensional traveler. "Bluthers" acts as Sunset's personal bodyguard, chauffeur, and most trusted ally. Despite Blutherstein being Sunset's most advanced and intelligent creation, it chooses not to speak. Before upgrading Blutherstein with the foreign crystal and various other changes, Sunset created a smaller prototype who came to be known as Bluthers Jr. Junior now serves as the gatekeeper to Delthorensdale's innermost sanctum, the first hive, the hub of Delth infrastructure.
