Notes

Originally, Kitezh was named Rus' Khaganate (ルーシカガン, "Rūshikagan"), determined via datamining. Why this was changed is currently unknown.
- Rus' Khaganate is a hypothetical city that was supposedly located in Eastern Europe between 830 and 890s.
The Transients of this world are primarily derived from various figures from Slavic mythology and culture, as well as folklore from nearby regions of Eastern Europe.
- Perun is based on the the supreme god of lightning in Slavic mythology.
- Volos is based on the god of earth from Slavic mythology, who is sometimes considered to look like a cross between a snake and a bear.
- Chernobog is based on the evil god of misfortune with dubious historicity from Slavic mythology.
- Ded is based on Ded Moroz, a legendary character who brings children presents during winter in East Slavic regions. He has roots in Slavic mythology but is also influenced by Christianity.
- Kresnik is based on a type of shaman who used their powers to fight against vampires in Slavic mythology.
- Snegurochka is based on a Russian fairy tale character who is associated with Christmas and New Year celebrations.
- Volkh Vseslav is based on Vseslav of Polotsk, a historical ruler who was fictionalized as a werewolf sorcerer in Russian folk tales.
- Q'ursha is based on a legendary dog famous for his loyalty and great jumping skills in Georgian mythology.
- The sole exception of this seems to be Reprobus, who is based on a Christian saint. This may be because his dog-headed depiction is more prominent in Eastern Orthodox Christianity which is dominant in Slavic regions.
