The Riven Lands

An unremarkable Elf whose presence creates an uncanny silence that makes others unconsciously lower their voices and reveal more than they intended. Her larger-than-normal ears are marked with ritual scarification that creates channels for spiritual communication, allowing otherworldly entities to speak through her. Wears specially designed clothing that seems to absorb sound and light, making her nearly invisible in crowds despite being physically present. Her gray eyes reflect not current events but possible futures whispered by prophetic spirits, and her hands move constantly as if taking dictation from invisible sources.

Secretive and methodical with religious devotion to gathering information that serves her spiritual masters who exist in dimensions where knowledge equals power. She believes conventional morality is meaningless compared to the cosmic importance of her work as a conduit between worlds. Takes satisfaction in knowing secrets that others would kill to learn, viewing each piece of forbidden knowledge as proof of her spiritual elevation above ordinary mortals limited by physical senses.

Shadowlord Whisper "The Listener" Nightborn is a master spy who uncovered that her exceptional hearing abilities stem from an ancient curse binding her family bloodline to serve as conduits for malevolent spirits. These spirits seek to influence the material world through her and her intelligence networks, which are chains of possession controlling key informants. These entities whisper secrets directly into her mind, allowing her to treat information as soul currency. She trades knowledge to demons and shadow spirits in exchange for supernatural surveillance abilities, enabling her to monitor conversations across vast distances through spiritual eavesdropping.
