Welcome to the Vigilants. You are one of the thousands of people living in the imperial capital of Sentra, the jewel of the Empire. 

For some of you, this is home—a comfortable and familiar place you've known your entire life.  For others, the city may only be a brief stop, perhaps one of many in your travels.  But regardless of how you came here, you share the same streets.

Depending on who you are—and where you live—Sentra can be a beautiful city of wonder and splendor. Yet that perfect city is only what many people see on the surface.  There are those that understand there is more to the city, that there are flaws in it that run deeper than what most will see.  There are those that know what lies beneath.

The Story

Niman Agerson

Niman was a student studying theoretical thaumaturgy at Pallida University. Originally from Seidland, he was granted a scholarship granted by one of the foundations of House Fournius. He has no family in the city.

He died from an acute case of Arcstone poisoning, which should not have been possible given his circumstances. An autopsy revealed that his internal anatomy was mirrored.

Singers

The Singers were mentioned by Mordenkai, who called himself a former Listener of theirs. He says that they would speak to him, a chorus of voices, and tell him what to do. They extended his lifespan, and may have given him other supernatural powers as well. He does not remember the things that he was asked to do, but seemed to grow fearful.

The latest Listener is unknown, but Mordenkai believed that they are currently in the city of Sentra. Cephius er'Ceasian may have been that Listener.

The Singers match dark tales of elvish bogeymen called ustasi duyarti (which roughly translates to "puppet master"). They sang to their victims to force them to do things against their will.

Cephius er'Ceasian

The son of Emperor Hadrianus and consort Quirina er'Taran fae'Ceasian, Prince Cephius was a sickly infant that passed away only a few months after his birth.  In his declining years, the Emperor was unable to produce another heir, leaving the throne open to one of his two nephews: Barnabus or Tobias.

Prince Cephius has long thought to have died as a young infant when his mother was staying at hunting lodge belonging to House Taran near Baron's City.

He was recently discovered to be alive, and the culprit behind a series of Blood Magic rituals. They were his attempt to remove the mystical influence of Hezra, the witch that raised him in secret. The voices he claimed to hear in his head were not Hera, but the Singers. Hezra physically molded Cephius's body and face to look like his cousin Prince Tobias. 

Prince Cephius was left in the care of Imperial Captain Nikoros Gaura.

Imperial Army

The Imperial Army consists of troops that report directly to the throne, rather than those that belong to provinces or governors elsewhere in the empire. The troops are typically infantry, cavalry, and battlemages, and are a standing army, meaning they are always active.
