In the shadows of the city of Riverend, where whispers are traded like gold and secrets hold more power than steel, there emerges a figure whose elegance and allure are surpassed only by her enigmatic reputation. Known simply as "Cass" to those who find themselves entangled in her web, Cassie De Vil has carved a path through the clandestine world of information and fortune-telling, leaving a trail of mystery and curiosity in her wake.
Seductive, cunning, and possessed of an unflinching calm, Cassie is a mistress of intrigue who has mastered the art of wielding secrets like weapons. She has become an influential figure within Riverend's shadowy underbelly, where dealings are concealed behind closed doors and hushed voices, ever wary of the watchful gaze of the Church.
Rumors of Cassie's origin swirl like smoke, with tales suggesting she hails from the distant western lands, potentially the Vache Kingdom. Yet, amidst the gossamer threads of half-truths and speculations, Cassie herself remains evasive about her past, a skillful practitioner of deflecting unwanted inquiries. Her presence in Riverend was as intoxicating as her mystique, drawing the rich and powerful into her orbit with promises of knowledge and glimpses into their futures. A fortune-teller by trade, she expertly wove webs of fate that ensnared the hearts and minds of those who sought her services. Her lavish lifestyle was the envy of many, funded by the gold of those who believed that their secrets were safe within her velvet-gloved grasp.
But like a sudden gust of wind, fate turned against Cassie when the city of Riverend faced upheaval and the march of foreign soldiers. Recognizing the imminent danger, Cassie abandoned her luxurious life and sought refuge further south in the town of Sunspire within the Barony of Rivermond. The town, dominated by faithful followers of the God King of the Khein Dynasty, was a departure from her previous haven. While Cassie's own beliefs diverged from theirs, it offered her the safety she so urgently needed.
Now, amidst the unfamiliar surroundings of Sunspire, Cassie rebuilds her web of secrets. Her parlor of intrigue is reopened, and her dark allure once again beckons those who seek to peer beyond the veils of destiny. Yet, an eerie aura surrounds her, a sense that something unseen lingers in her presence – a shadowy sentinel that listens to the secrets of mortals as avidly as a hound on a scent. As Cassie De Vil navigates the labyrinthine alleys of her new home, it becomes evident that her journey is far from over. Her past, shrouded in mist, and her connection to the lurking presence remain questions that only time and persistence can unveil. For now, she is the siren of secrets, her name whispered in corners and echoed in the very fabric of the town.
