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.

Kennick

Kennick is the leader of a group of Solari that he calls his flock.  He and his fellow cult members were first encountered outside the Gilded Stage protesting the upcoming play "The Sacrifice of Solarian." He feels that the play does not accurately represent Solarian, and that proceeds from the play should be given to charitable causes.

He also can be found in the Oldkeep neighborhood, where he and his followers work out of an abandoned open market and distribute food, water, medicine, and other supplies to the needy of the neighborhood.

The Caithan Thesserram is one of his devotees.

Kennick was once an Eye of Fate, a priest of Lakasis.  He received visions for others, giving advice to nobles, politicians, and businessmen.  But after the death of Solarian, he had a vision about himself.  Since then, he left the Lakasis priesthood, and became one of the Solari.
