Ennuyé

Summary

Ennuyé, previously called Thomas in the old Riversmeet mage school, and later recorded as Envoi and uncertainly as Enoi or Enoin, was one of the five creators of the Dome / Barrier, Joy’s father, and a source of containment tampering tied to the first crack.

Known Details

  • He appears as a well-groomed tiefling in a picture holding a baby girl.
  • The Dome / Barrier was created by Everard Browning, Ennuyé, Brutor Ruby Eye, Valenth Cardonald, and Lady Evalina Hartwall.
  • He is Joy’s father.
  • Observatory clues connect him to Joy, moon observation, rings, and repeated attempts to bring Joy back.
  • Brutor’s later lore says Ennuyé tampered with a containment device for his own means and that something happening to Ennuyé could have caused the first crack.
  • Ennuyé wore five rings; one small ring was found with text about a sacrifice made to live eternal, father and daughter.
  • A boxed note possibly records Winter Roses? as Ennuyé’s password.
  • Day 23 identifies Enwi as one of the figures at the base of the Hephaestos statue and says Enwi was being protected by Goliaths.
  • Enwi’s apprentice may have caused the end of Garadul’s sanity.
  • Enwi’s spellbook was locked by one of Cardonal’s creations and later attuned to Geldrin.
  • Enwi had been tapping life force from his prison, and that replicated shade to the system weakened all prisons.
  • The Mother repurposed Envi’s clone in Envi’s lab, and her spellbook used the same cipher and spells as Envi’s.
  • Enwi’s gloves were later located in the Goliath Tower in the Oasis, implying Enwi died and went there without being released.
  • Day 42 council lore said Envi might be trapped, but whose side he was on remained uncertain, and that Envi had been part of deals with dark demons.
  • Anastasia gave Dirk Ennuyé’s fifth ring; by 15:00 the party could attune to three of the rings.
  • Ruby Eye said the rings activate in the Barrier so Joy cannot leave, and that his and Joy’s mother’s sacrifices were made to keep Joy safe and eternal.
  • Day 43 says Wroth trapped Envy in Lady Evalina Hartwall’s head the same way Envy is in Ruby Eye’s, suggesting Envy can be contained in people or minds.
  • Day 44 places Ennuyé, then called Thomas, in the old Riversmeet mage school: he was an eighteen-year-old human in detention with Hannah, was considered a bad influence by Mama Cardonald, recognized Geldrin as touched by the lady of destruction, and was researching dark magic.
  • Thomas was Ennuyé’s earlier name before he changed it.
  • Ruby Eye recruited Geldrin into a group including Everard, Thomas / Ennuyé, and Valenth around the eye-removal final project.
  • Day 47 identifies Hannah Joy as Ennuyé’s erased wife and says a sentient door had brothers at Ennuyé’s lab and [unclear: aprosur].
  • Day 48 says Rubyeye believed Ennuyé had a body stored somewhere, perhaps Coalmont Falls, and records infernal-like doorknob writing reminiscent of Ennuyé’s lab.
  • Day 57 Hydran-realm carvings said Envi was free: his spirit reached his base, occupied an awakened body in his laboratory, gained power and control over crystals, and had captured the party’s allies. His goal was unknown and he had not been near his other parts.
  • Day 57 Azar Nuri said Envi works for him and has Tremon’s arm.
  • Envy is a manifestation of an emotion removed from the elves; the notes sometimes blur Envy with Envi / Ennuyé, but Envy should not be treated as only a spelling variant of Ennuyé.
