[No, he still hasn't changed his user name on the network, and no, he is not going to. he's actually grown weirdly fond of it.]
Greetings to all. I come to you with some tidings of the Beastmaster. The information I managed to get is fragmentary at best, but I think will be of interest at some point.
I met with the lady Hyang-tai, the leader of the blind fetters who live outside the village. She was here giving food to the poor, and spoke with me for a little while. I happened to learn a little bit about them through our conversation.
The blind fetters appeared only after there was a big eruption from the volcano. Soon after this, children started being born with the gift of prophecy and they were soon... set aside. She says they chose not to burden their families, but it is quite obvious they were cast out. People spit on them in town, and hide if they go to ask them for readings. In any case, their power appears linked to the volcano in some way. She said she carries a 'Great Ancestor' and the villagers are afraid of him, and by extension of her.
I asked her when the Beastmaster appeared, and her answers were most interesting. Just like Anurr was from Sa-Hareth, the Beastmaster was born here. His name was Hyang-won. He is from the same clan as Hyang-tai, as you might have guessed from their names. He is a distant cousin of hers. 'Distant enough we could have married' she said. I could not parse her age well, but that would make him rather younger than Anurr, at least, although I cannot tell if this says anything in terms of his power.
I could not get her to tell me more how he became what he currently is, but she calls him a gift, and their 'good master'.
[Well, there you go with his info dump, and he is about to switch the communication off when he seems to suddenly remember something.]
Oh, she also mentioned she had a vision about our presence here and that we are going to ruin them. I cannot claim to be very surprised by this. And she hasn't told anyone in the village that because, I quote 'they haven't asked'.
[And honestly, as someone who also sees the future, he thinks that's pretty valid.]
Hopefully, we can make something of this.

I asked many questions, but she balked at answering all of them. Her serpent was very protective of her too and seemed to advise her on which of my questions not to answer.

It makes a degree of sense that animals would be inclined to work with her, given his title and their relation. I wonder if the gift exists in others who are seers to, and is just more... pronounced in him.

[Or not, who knows. Moran doesn't always feels he gets more of an edge being able to see what will happen.]
It's certainly interesting that they are related, though. And that she sees him favorably where the rest of them are much more circumspect.

[ Some source may exist there, some natural wellspring of magic. If nothing else, it may be a good way to understand how magic in this world works if that is the case. ]

You were perused by a creature that imitated a family member?

A physical imitation, a shape-changer? Or an illusion or trick of the mind in some way?

And what was its behaviour on injury? Or did you not linger to see.
[ Did you murder your fake mother and wait to see what happened? ]

[He absolutely murdered his fake mother and waited to make sure it wouldn't move anymore.]

Were you aware of anyone else who encountered this manner of... imposter?
