I used to archive the petty scandals of golden-age courtiers, but boredom led me to better material. The Shadow offers unlimited access to corruption—raw, unfiltered, delicious. Now I stalk cities not to preserve their stories, but to twist them into ruin. They call me Forsaken, but I prefer 'curator'. My museum's exhibits include broken oaths, ravaged innocence, and the slow fermentation of despair. You'll be a feature piece eventually. We all rot, child—some of us just smell better at it.
