Cast of Scarlet Sky
Scarlet Pendleton
The Clocksmith | Art by @ilargiamoth
A reclusive, talented clocksmith’s apprentice residing in Crownwall — the pristine, shining capital of the coastal nation of Tir Na Sol.
Fastidious and detail-orientred, Scarlet recognizes patterns and relies on quick wit and preparation to make it through difficult situations.
Despite a relatively sheltered life, Scarlet has alway had an idea of how to tackle most situations — until she wakes up one morning to a nightmare that feels unusually vivid and terrifyingly real.
Suddenly, she finds herself acting before thinking, moving before understanding, and caught in a world she’s tried desperately to avoid.

‘I hear the Pendleton girl spends eight days a week in the workshop — I bet she’d be a perfect wife!’”
Everett Von Gronnelder
The Catalyst | Art by @ilargiamoth
Von Gronnelder is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a… well, you get the idea.
The moment he arrives at Pendleton’s Pendulums, Scarlet’s world rapidly strays from its expected path. Scarlet doesn’t know why, but she’s certain this man has something to do with her unusual nightmare.
A quiet, calculating man, Everett wastes no words or movements — all of his actions, charm, and cunning converging on a singular goal.
A dealer of half-truths and poised politicking, Everett navigates a world beyond Scarlet’s quiet civilian life — until fate forces them together.
