Seigou of the High Pass

The apprentice of the High Pass is, by all accounts, a very friendly soul. They will always stop their combat pole drills to offer travelers directions through The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. But no one has ever seen their face. After a long day of training, Seigou sits to watch the sunset refract through the giant crystals. Thirsty, they fumble with their waterskin, the simple act made a clumsy ritual by layers of masks and specs. For a moment, they think of removing them, but they can't. The face beneath is not entirely their own—it is a strange, cursed mirror of Narisumashi, a secret that binds them. Eventually, they manage a sip of water. The inconvenience is a small price for the quiet solitude.
