Character of the Season
Frail in body but dangerously quick of mind, Nikandr is the sort of character who proves that curiosity can be just as perilous as any weapon. A necromancer, inventor, and problem-solver with more ambition than self-preservation, Niki approaches the world like a puzzle box begging to be opened, even when what’s inside has teeth. Blunt, dry-witted, fiercely independent, and carrying a history best left partially buried, he has a knack for making even failure feel fascinating. Whether he’s raising the dead, moving across Caido to King's End, or experiencing a hangover for the first time, Nikandr brings a wonderfully strange spark to Caido, and we can’t wait to see what trouble his brilliant mind wanders into next.
Congratulations, Niki!

There's a nondescript brown package lying in the center of a milling group of people. Right in the open, where the most eyes will see it. If one were to approach, they'd see parchment tacked to the top. A message is scrawled on top, in a variety of changing hands, as if to intentionally shroud the identity of the writer. The message is as follows:
There exists individuals who will not allow the False Shepherd to insert her pawns into our world. Followers of the Old Gods, know that there are those who seek to eradicate this infestation of unnatural creations. Let this be a warning to all who call themselves Ascended - you are not above us as your name implies. You may not bleed, but you will burn.
Inside, should the box be opened, there are severed hands. Fluid coats them in mimicry of blood, and they were clearly brutally hacked off. There is nothing else to be found.
"Clear the street." Morgan commanded in her loudest 'Captain voice', walking into the crowd with two guards either side of her. She had heard of some hubbub happening in the centre and wasn't sure what was going on, but anything that was distracting the people from the myriad of important jobs to be doing wasn't good.
She could not have imagined anything like what she saw when she reached the middle of the crowd, though. The note was too verbose for her to scan in the moment, but she saw 'Ascended' - along with the hands in the box, this was certainly going to be a problem. Bending down, she picked up the box and folded the lid back on, motioning for her guards to try and split the crowd. "Do not worry; we will deal with this." She assured the people around her then began to carry the box back to somewhere secret, where she could read the note and try to work out what was happening.
