The Riven Lands

An female Kitsune with pale, ever-shifting skin hues and fluid features that ripple subtly. Dirge wears practical, form-fitting garments that allow swift changes in posture and appearance, often appearing as a pale, stoic youth or a sharp-eyed elderly woman in fleeting moments.

Dirge is a master of deception and manipulation, always calculating and observant. They are coldly pragmatic, valuing fluidity and adaptability over fixed loyalties or identities. Their unsettling presence and shifting forms make others wary, but they command respect through their cunning and control of information.

Dirge's past is a weapon, a collection of identities they have perfectly stolen and discarded. They rose through the Endless Exchange by masterminding the downfall of several minor kin-families, exposing their secrets and seizing their assets through intricate webs of deception. They believe identity is the ultimate vulnerability, and the "Pantheon of Personas" is where they break recruits of any fixed sense of self. Dirge takes perverse pleasure in forcing students to lose themselves in roles, viewing it as the only way to truly master the art of espionage and to embody the chaotic principles of the oligarchy, ensuring "truth itself" remains a lethal tool.
