Clade is the first level of underworld power for the Dream Merchants in Dar Myan. Seemingly a mousy and reserved man, Clade wears a mask of calm, pretending to be nothing more than an apothecary. He is discreet and observant, cunning and careful. He's also a cold killer who helps facilitate the dreamlily trade through Dar Myan. Long ago, he lost all faith in the Path of Inspiration, but he doesn't know the true power behind the Dream Merchants.
