Oh man, the gears are already turning. My first article will be Null Towers, ancient ruins left by an old civilization that feared The Ruse. Some of the towers are still operational and can hinder or completely negate the ruse. 

Edit: just saw you were looking for characters first!

Characters don't necessarily have to be first! Go nuts!

Love the towers idea, sounds like a great setup for an epic plot. I could see some nomad tribes maybe making use of those operational towers for protection -- or avoiding them to protect their deities.

But alas, the null towers are always under siege by immensely massive Barkolopus, centipede shaped entities with bark-like skin and green, fluid eyes which line across it.  Their many limbs skittering across the vast, rolling hills and dunes of the realm seeking ethereal energies for nourishment.  They are ultimately mindless beings, whose sprawling size has become host to whole societies dwelling on their backs.

Is this doing it right?

Haha Barkolopus, perfect! Nice touch with the villages on their backs. I can see them in the desert, or hidden in the boggy hills.

Sure, definitely shout out ideas -- but nothing's canon until it's posted in the Characters tab and linked to Post Zero. ;D

Maybe I should add another rule or so, to credit others whose ideas you incorporated into your article?
