The Blade in the Dark

Since the beginning of the 13th century, stories have been told of the Blade in the Dark, the Whispering Wrath, a fearsome, murderous wraith who rides a nightmare across the realm, leaving disastrous loss of life in its wake. The Blade in the Dark feeds on sin and death and is a feared figure in the underworld, where cultists and criminals obey its whispered desires to avoid its black vengeance. The Blade in the Dark was revealed to be the enforcer of the Court of Locusts, its servant that controls the Nine, the leaders of the Black Congregation and unwitting, fearful minions of the archwizards that make up their masters. The Blade in the Dark pursued the Dawn's Herald to their crossing south of Caer Brydion, attacking and defeating the party, ultimately forcing the order to regroup and separate to avoid the deadly wraiths.
