Description
A being who transcended mortality through the Whispering Bloom, The Whispering One serves as a living conduit of forbidden truth. Those who hear its whispers are never the same. It exists in fragments of reality—always half-there, slipping between time and thought. Scholars believe it was once the founder of the Order of the Black Lotus, devoured by their own pursuit of knowledge. Now it guards truths no one should know and judges those who seek them.
