Jinshirou

The crisp air of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria tastes of charged dust from the spinning monoliths above. Everyone here knows Jinshirou, the impeccably dressed merchant with the bewildering salmon on their head. They broker deals for enchanted crystals and forgotten texts, their warm demeanor a welcome sight among the stern rock wizards. They publicly declare their service to Hogo-sha, a noble cause that earns them trust and access. Their mask and visor are dismissed as the eccentricities of a successful trader. But after the markets close, Jinshirou pores over a different kind of ledger. It doesn't track profits or inventory. It lists names, and the only two columns beside them are labeled 'Threat' and 'Ally'.
