Shikei

Shikei was once a guide for the great minds of Armaria, leading wizards to monoliths that pulsed with ancient energy. They lost their entire expedition to a cascade of temporal magic, a price the scholars had deemed an acceptable risk. Shikei, the lone survivor, did not. For years, they wandered, their raincoat a constant reminder of the storm that took everything. It was a tavern story about Yasuke—not their victories, but the quiet weight of their reluctance—that finally offered a new path. They realized true purpose was not found in serving the grand ambitions of the powerful. These days, Shikei still explores The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, but they no longer seek powerful artifacts. They search for the lost, guiding them through the beautiful, deadly sunsets, one soul at a time.
