Scavengers in The Dragon Wastelands claim Horun can speak to the rain, that they know where a storm will break days before it forms. They say it wasn't always a gift used for good. Once, Horunโs visions were sold to warlords, predicting enemy movements with a playful smile and chilling accuracy. They grew wealthy on whispers of the future, foreseeing ambushes and betrayals for anyone who could pay. The change came with a vision not of battle, but of a small village caught between two armies, a place where the only casualties would be families huddled in their homes. For the first time, Horun lied, sending their employer into a phantom ambush. They have wandered ever since, a glittering amethyst figure who uses their sight only to guide the lost through the fog, paying a debt to a past only the howling winds remember.
