Whisper, the Mystic

Whisper is the sixth hero you gain under your control.

Background
“Magic is the one and only answer, to refute its power is to embrace doom.”

Shadows are rumored to be the first and only race to fully accept and wield magic since the day it was recognized as such, over a thousand years ago.

Known for their intelligence and magical prowess, it seems only natural a large number of shadows became magi when the group first formed. A fact Whisper is quick to point out with an arrogant sense of pride, as she claims direct lineage with one of the very first shadow magi. Her audience is long-winded and self-absorbed, listening to her repeatedly refer to herself in the third person as “The Queen of Shadows”.

It is difficult to trust a people who are by their very nature, shrouded in mystery. Even more so when they are evasive to direct questions. After speaking with her delegation for over an hour, I feel as though I’ve learned nothing significant of her motives for being here. My reservations are compounded by a quick-tongue and indifference to the feelings of others, qualities Whisper expresses in abundance. At every opportunity she boasts that magic is the only means to stop the affliction of darkness that now settles on Artara and that those who think differently, are fools.

Such callous nature at the command of such volatile energies makes for a very dangerous being. And the casual nature at which she appeared… Waiting in the depths of the tower, as if expecting my champions on schedule. Alarming to say the least. Yet, there is something about her dominating, manipulative nature that is… refreshingly honest. Wearing her emotions on her sleeve, leaves Whisper little room to hide ulterior motives. She gives the distinct impression that if she wanted to take the time to stab someone, she wouldn’t bother waiting until their back was turned.

While my judgement tells me to refuse her company, my instincts tell me doing so will most assuredly put the party at even greater risk. Whatever her true intentions are, it is likely best to keep the Queen of Shadows within sight at all times… at least for now.
