Current Issues

 * The Oracle's remaining predictions are:
 * Belkar will not get too old?! He'll die within a year!
 * The story will have a happy ending for Elan.
 * The last gate is to be checked out – O-Chul and Lien already went to Kraagor's Gate in the North.
 * Roy was dead; his archon is doing something for him when he's gone?
 * Favours from Shojo: Miko has lost her purse containing a message from Durkon's dwarven homeland. (Durkon had written a letter to be sent to the High Priest of Thor, asking to be allowed to return and see his grandparents; the former High Priest died and the new one would allow him to come home, but the Creature in the Darkness ate the letter. His grandfather is already dead.)
 * Xykon will be defeated within seven weeks from the end of Don't Split the Party.
 * The Linear Guild are actually the pawns of the IIFC.
 * There are nine sides to this conflict, one of which will become known in the fifth book.

Order of the Stick

 * Roy Greenhilt &mdash; Has yet to really kill Xykon and fulfill his father's Blood Oath of Vengeance.
 * Haley Starshine &mdash; Her father Ian Starshine is leading the resistance against Tarquin. She has been left by Kyran, Rachel, her Mom, basically "everyone good and pure who gets close to her".
 * Vaarsuvius (and Blackwing) &mdash; Unsolved: his/her gender; and (s)he accepted a Soul Splice deal, getting the powers of Ganonron, Terror of a Thousand Planes; Haera Bloodsoak, Destroyer of Hope; and Jepthon the Unholy, Span of Hatred, in return for agreeing to be spliced her-/himself at a later time for the same amount of time – 3:06 for one of them, 20:35 for the other two (one of the those has lapsed already, keeping him from keeping the OotS from destroying Girard's Gate). His/her mate filed for divorce.
 * Elan the Bard &mdash; Past partially unknown. Fate of his father Tarquin.
 * Durkon Thundershield &mdash; The next time he returns home, "death and destruction for all" will be the result … Is now a vampire? Evil vampire has plans with pilgrims?
 * Belkar Bitterleaf &mdash; Past almost completely unknown.

Order of the Scribble

 * Serini Toormuck (female halfling rogue) &mdash; Wrote the diary and recorded the gates' locations.
 * Lirian (female elf druid) &mdash; Soulbound in a black gem carried by Xykon.
 * Elven Forest Gate &mdash; Burned by Redcloak. Location of Mijung's death.
 * Kraagor (male dwarf barbarian) &mdash; Killed while the rift in the "snowlands" was sealed.
 * icelands Gate &mdash; Built atop Kraagor's tomb by Serini, filled with lots of monsters. Located in the far north, according to strip #300.

 * Dorukan (male human mage) &mdash; Soulbound by Xykon, too.
 * Redmountain Hills Gate &mdash; Destroyed by Elan accidentally.

Xykon's Party

 * Xykon
 * Redcloak (the "Crimson Mantle") &mdash; The deity he serves (the "Dark One") will become an issue, especially in relation to freeing the Snarl; his deity is furthermore well-known to the Sapphire Guard, as they are mortal enemies. Redcloack has Xykon's phylactery and switched it with a fake. The ritual will not control the Snarl, but make him do the Dark One's bidding.
 * Creature in the Darkness &mdash; To come out of the dark.
 * Right-Eye &mdash; Redcloak's brother, killed by Redcloak.
 * Jirix &mdash; Has control over Azure City for now.

Linear Guild

 * Sabine (devil or demon)
 * [Thog (half-orc)]
 * Kilkil
 * Tarquin — did something before leaving the city?
 * Hilgya Firehelm &mdash; Current status unknown, fled after a brief affair with Durkon. Replaced by Leeky Windstaff.

[EVIL GROUP FROM INN]

 * The Shadowdancer and "Kaboom" Redaxe &mdash; They thought that Roy was the King of Nowhere (which he was claiming to be at that time) and wanted to kill him; they failed, however. They subsequently jumped into the shadows and haven't been seen since.

Tyrinaria

 * Enor and Gannji — Escaped from the arena. Now working to topple the tyranny.
