Here is the character introduction based on the provided information, translated into English while maintaining the nuances and fantasy elements:
◆◆ Flora – Northern Side ◆◆
■ Flora Cadira
The ex-wife of Holy Knight Elliott.
Her former husband was deployed shortly after their marriage, leaving them without children. Although she is the niece of the Viscount Cadira from the southern region, she has no path to live as a noble. Thanks to her uncle’s kindness, she attended a school in the Royal Capital and is now a commoner. In the capital, she made a living as a seamstress.
■ Gilbert
A former knight who retired from the Royal Knights Order two years ago after injuring his dominant arm. He is the half-brother of Lionel, the former commander of the Royal Knights, and is a bastard child.
■ Dolf
A blacksmith from the Village of Selfless Blessing. An elderly man who can craft just about anything.
■ Barbara
Dolf’s wife and a Guide Mage.
■ Lionel Orias Viniadel
The former commander of the Royal Knights and Gilbert’s half-brother. He has since painted his shield black and become the Black Knight.
■ Sidney
An elderly priest from the Western Grand Church, an expert in barrier magic. He is of a similar age to Dolf.
■ Yuen Kelvim
The lord of the northern Kelvim Territory, holding the title of Count. (His name is mentioned here for clarity, though he does not appear frequently.)
■ Private Soldiers
Members of the private army in the Kelvim Territory. Due to the region’s battles against magical beasts, they are well-versed in their nature.
■ Mercenaries
Living in the Kelvim Territory, they make a living as mercenaries and, like the private soldiers, are knowledgeable about magical beasts. One of them, who was saved by Gilbert, regards him as a comrade.
■ Clergy
Many of them come from the Western Grand Church, similar to Sidney. They include users of barrier magic, specialists in healing and recovery, and those focused on purification.
Note: The private soldiers, mercenaries, and clergy are not given specific names to avoid confusing the readers with too many proper nouns.

< In-Story Terms >
● Undead Beast
A magical beast that has become undead. They are primarily large or medium-sized, and the cause of their emergence is unknown. They appear sporadically in areas with many magical beasts, covered in decaying flesh. They cannot be killed by normal attacks as they regenerate infinitely. To stop their regeneration and make them disappear, one must sever the head and torso with a weapon blessed by Holy Water. Wounds inflicted by Undead Beasts must be purified with Purification Magic; otherwise, they will begin to rot and become undead after two days. Until now, small magical beasts and humans have typically succumbed to this process.
● Variant Undead Beast
A small magical beast that has completely transformed into an Undead Beast without dying during the process of becoming undead.
⇒ Undead Slime: A further weakened variant, resembling an amoeba-like viscous magical bacteria that has become undead.
● Magical Beast
A collective term for beasts that have undergone transformation due to the influence of magical power, as all living beings possess varying degrees of magical energy.
● Mage
A person who can use magical power for spells and sorcery. They are very few in number, with many becoming court mages. They can create items like the Orb of Concealment.
● Clergy / Priest
Unlike mages, they receive the goddess’s blessing as a result of their training, allowing them to use healing, recovery, purification, and barrier magic.
– Priest: A broad term for those who can use the goddess’s magic through training.
– Clergy / Priest: Those who belong to various churches and have enhanced their magical powers through daily prayers.
● Guide Mage
A collective term for those who, unlike clergy or priests, directly imbue vessels with blessings to manifest various effects.
● Barbara’s Magical Pot feat. Flora – Blessed by the Goddess
In response to a previous inquiry about what kind of pot it is, it is envisioned as a black iron pot. It may help to imagine it as a smaller version of a typical witch’s cauldron. (Most medieval pots were likely black iron, similar to southern ironware!)
