Inkbound features a whole host of colorful and unique characters willing to aid you on your journey.

The Atheneum

The Gatekeeper

Author be damned, this Atheneum will drown of the filth you track in well before the Sea takes us. Be grateful the Inkbound places more faith in you than I do.

Present in the Atheneum as you first emerge from the Sea of Ink.

The Counselor

Oh. Hmm. Well, hello. I'm the Counselor. Used to be a lot more of us. Counselors that is. And everyone else, I guess. But just me now.

Returns to the Atheneum after you complete your 1st Inkwell Dive. Provides daily quests.

The Stigmatist

Well, it's nice to be back again so fast, even if the place is a wreck. Surprised to hear we aren't all as gruff as Grumpybeared, huh? Well, sometimes a little youth goes a long way.

Returns to the Atheneum after you complete your 1st Inkwell Dive.

Sundance

Well, some call me the Troubadour, but my friends call me Sundance. You can call me either, depending on how you're feeling about me at a time.

Returns to the Atheneum after you complete your 1st Inkwell Dive.

The Tinkerer

I get that you're new around here, and it'll take a bit for you to get our way of things, but your actions got consequences. Even the best-meaning ones.

Figura that Inkbound of yours is still trying to make things right, right? Stop the darkness, save the worls, and all that inkin' gas? Well, the day they do's the dat I take off this mask and kiss your Kwill, heh heh.
