==Known Oddfolk== * Midge's family<ref>[[Interlude 11]]</ref> (Knot) ** Fat Mam & Rackham Thin<ref>Rose intoned, “Midge, daughter of Rackham Thin, daughter of Fat Mam, drinker of blood…” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/05/15 Excerpt] from [[Subordination 6.8]]</ref> ** Brother Mall (can pass as human) ** Posie ** [[Midge]] ** Biff and Jory * Victims of the [[succubus]]<ref name="ss">The being we sought that night was more powerful than we had anticipated. It was intelligent enough to hide the bulk of its activities from the outside world. We expected an imp. We found something evolved enough to be birthing its own imps, to have a form and its own symbolism.<br><br>A devil of the sixth choir. The choir of man’s evils. A weaker choir, and the one most personal to all of us.<br><br>She had collected inhabitants of a small town into a cult and church, and she had done it long enough that her initial followers had descendants. Mother, father, child, grandchild. All rutted on the floors and pews of the devil’s church in a grand, senseless, ceaseless orgy, the devil herself presiding above all in naked, Wrong splendor.<br><br>A devil of incest, she had made her own monsters even before she began creating imps, by way of inbreeding and birth defects. There was only horror there, enough to sear its way into my eyes. <br><br>I will sum up that night by saying that each of us who walked in there with guns at the ready walked away alive, but we did not walk away intact.<br><br>When I think of what drove me to write this work, this event was one that remained with me. I spent some time wondering about the aftermath. It was my first eye-opening experience, and it was the last incident where I researched the long term effects.<br><br>It was only when I’d researched the events that are covered in each chapter that follows, that I let myself look into this one. I looked at the numbers, and I want to point to statistics, the increase in birth defects in that town and county. To the rise in the divorce rate, or the rates of abuse. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/04/05 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 4|Gathered Pages: 4]]</ref> (Bred) * Warzenberg Clan<ref name=war/> (Knot) ** Dame Metha ** Gisela<ref name=GP4/> ** Gernot ** Jörg * Worshipers by the sea<ref name=":2"/> (Knot/Patron) * Those that hid in the city<ref name=":2"/> (Knot) * They that dug too deep<ref name=":2"/> (Knot) * Artic dwellers<ref name=":3"/> (terroir) (Ghoul) * Boob Tubers & Web Crawlers - [[Technomancy]] derived<ref>Subhumans of a specific technomancy related type. Humans that have sunken so far into the other world that their humanity has become distorted or fallen away. Summoning (as with many Technomancy related things) requires making and running the right algorithms and beating other technomancers out there to find and access them first. Then you have to wait for them to show up. Next to no grip on reality with multiple ones being able to assert a kind of 'continuity skip' where if you aren't looking they can get places where they shouldn't or faster than they should. Tubers tend to be tougher with some ability to ignore the harsher parts of reality, while Crawlers are better at working with or cooperating with ongoing technomancy practices. - Wildbow on Discord</ref>(terroir)<!--Given they're twisted by their environment --> *The Bardanes (terroir/knot) <ref>“Okay. Changing subjects, the Bardanes realms? [...] A family overseas devised a trick, and the powers of that region allowed it,” the Alabaster explained. “The family’s practitioners claim demesnes linked to one anothers’, give full access to family, and then before they die they make themselves immortal, living statues.”<br><br>“Reminds me of something a [[Witch Hunter]] had.”<br><br>“One and the same recipe. The Witch Hunters use it as a form of binding the visceral. The family uses it to their advantage. The result is a fairly extensive realm, at this stage, getting more extensive as the family grows and leaves a more or less permanent legacy, grafting each new demesnes to the last, like an endless, forking collection of bridges extended over void. There are entire segments of the Bardanes family who never leave, intermarry and breed with family.”<br><br>“Isolated, weird locations, interbreeding… Oddfolk?” Lucy asked.<br><br>The Alabaster nodded. “Yes. Some. It’s become one of the larger practitioner-made realms that interconnect with the rest of the world. Tendrils extend past the ocean and toward us, and are even invited to extend, and…”<br><br>“And we say no,” the Sable said. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/02/14// Excerpt] from [[Go for the Throat 23.5]]</ref> *Multifaceted Pig<ref name=ob/>
