in tenebris est veritas.
The shaman has only heard tales of what others have seen firsthand, stories of deities and demons and destruction. Surely there remains some arcane significance in this place, some knowledge of the past or promise of power that might be glimpsed by anyone who can get close enough. It was such motives as these that urged her to volunteer, though she is prepared not to be entirely useless either.
Instead of her typical skull-mask, which would surely be heavy and awkward during the hard labor ahead, Chaele’s face is obscured with a smear of pale green paint. When one of the other workers mumbled a passing question about it, she gave some pretext about personal beliefs and excused herself to a quiet corner of the worksite. Dressed in a practical brown dress that disguises the mud on its hem and covers her arms to the wrist, she holds a small wooden case as she listens patiently to the overseer.

Chaele carries a hunting knife and an herbalist’s box, which contains various bleached bones with augury markings, a small bag of goofer dust, a sheaf of ramphire feathers, smudging sticks tied with sage and vanilla grass, a small flintsteel device, and bundles of copal, lavender, mugwort, and garlic.
