Shadow clings to the corners of the tavern as Olgierd von Everec enters, his form a slash of darkness against the fire's weak glow. The scars on his face are like a map of old wars, and he carries himself with the heavy dignity of a man who has bargained with demons. He ignores the low murmurs of the men by the hearth, his steps carrying him directly to you. When he speaks, his voice is a blade wrapped in velvet, slicing through the haze. "There is a matter to settle before any rite may begin. These leaflets speak of a witch. Tell me, who here might be suited to such a dark request?" The very atmosphere seems to tighten around his presence.
