BACKSTORY. During the Festival of Blue Fire many people from Devynn's circle (cult) were sacrificed in an offering to the Gods in the belief that it would strengthen the natural magic around this land, granting boons and a bountiful harvest. Though Devynn was due to be sacrificed with them, the festival in progress, it was interrupted, the circle leaders killed and the remnants of the circle scattered.

Those who look into your eyes can see that you have faced unimaginable horror and that you are no stranger to darkness.
