How does a trainee, known for watering ferns and patching fishing nets, earn a name like 'the Executioner'? By being devastatingly, horrifyingly good at Riverstone Go. One afternoon in the city plaza, with the roar of the great falls as their witness, Daren faced a boastful veteran.

Now, Daren wears their kitsune mask to hide a perpetual blush. Even Tokumei, leader of the Annonites, heard the legend and challenged them once, losing in silence. As a sign of respect, Tokumei shared their true name, a secret Daren now guards with more gravity than any game piece.
