[Kaleal]

Deep in thought, Kaleal contemplated what the Vysstichi at the tavern had said. There was truth within his words, but when truly regarded, they seemed to have a deeper meaning. Contemplating plausible locations within Vortex that may contain those he sought, Kaleal's mind alighted upon only two possibilities. The first was the Great Mausoleum, resting place for many of the dead, and the other was a place he had only heard vague whispers about, said to be located inside the White Night's Drink. It was hard to imagine any such location hidden within the busy tavern, but it was close, and the Vysstichi's words began to become clearer.

As Kaleal headed back in the direction of the tavern, he caught a glimpse of white within the many shadows that covered the street. At this, he slowly drew his kris from its sheath, and slowly approached the figure that was lurking in the darkness. Making certain that he never got within weapon range of the creature, he got as close as he could, at which point he realised that it was a Vysstichi. Relieved that the figure was not, as far as he could tell, a guard, Kaleal sheathed his weapon and continued his wanderings.
