The NPC Guide Of Fairelands（Newfaire mostly）
Hello everyone! I am a dedicated Candela Obscura player, usually taking on the role of GM. Recently, I’ve completed something I’m quite proud of and would like to share it with you all. This is a guide featuring around 60 NPCs from Newfaire and the surrounding Fairelands region. Each character’s portrait was created using AI, but their biographies were written entirely by me, word by word.
The inspiration behind this project came from my experience as a GM. I often felt that Newfaire, as a city, seemed too vast and empty for my players, populated only by the Lightkeepers, assignments, and essential NPCs tied to the plotlines. This didn’t sit right with me, so I wanted to fill the city with life—or at least introduce some unique, neutral NPCs into the stories I shared with my players. That’s how the idea came to me: to create one NPC a day, spending two months to populate the world of Candela Obscura with these characters.
I think I did a pretty good job. Each character was carefully crafted, and most of their backstories felt like they had been living in my mind for a long time. All I had to do was put them into words. However, English is not my native language, so I relied on AI to help translate these contents into accurate grammar and vocabulary. If you come across any obvious language errors while reading, well, I’ve done my best.
Finally, I hope you enjoy this guide. It truly is the culmination of my efforts over this period. Wishing you all happy gaming!
