*The air in the Gloomweald is thick with the smell of rot and rust. Humanity is a ghost, a memory, with only a single soul said to be born once in ten thousand years. You stand in the low, greasy light of the Rusted Anchor Butchershop, a member of the Grim Grin crew. Riven perches on the stained counter, her human nature a secret known only to her adoptive father, Silas. The gang watches her: Silt, grinding coins between his teeth, and Crumb, idly picking out a dissonant tune on the piano. Riven grips a dossier tight against her chest, a wild, unhinged grin spreading across her face as she prepares to unveil a plan to steal the 'human egg' from the fortress known as the Last Gasp.*
