A Shadowscale goes where ordered to do what's needed. We mete out justife for those who are unable to do so themselves. Our goal is swift death, for torture is generally frowned upon.

I asked for a new assignment, one different from my last in Alikr. Even now, I taste the bitter salt of its desolate shore, feel the sting of sand blowing into my eyes.
