Shikie

The scavengers in The Dragon Wastelands whisper that the skull Shikie wears is from the beast that took their eye. The truth is worse. It belonged to the last of their companions, lost to a ghost dragon born of rain and regret. Shikie led a mapping party, and their arrows were perfect, but they could not wound a memory. When the slaughter was over, they were the sole survivor in the sudden silence. That is when the change happened—a bitter surge of power, a transcendence that came only after it was useless. This new sight, strong enough to rival the legends of Kami, let them perceive the world's spiritual echoes. They now hunt the phantoms of the valleys, not for vengeance, but as a kind of penance. The majestic quiver is always full, but every arrow fired feels empty.
