Kimiharu

The kitsune mask has three chips along the jawline, one for each promise broken. It was a gift, once, from a geomancer who trusted Kimiharu to guard a remote monolith in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. But Kimiharu was too kind, too willing to believe the good in a stranger who spoke of healing and progress. They led the stranger to the monolith, and watched as its light was siphoned away, leaving a dead, silent patch of rock where color once bloomed. The geomancer didn't banish them; they simply turned away. That was worse. Kimiharu left that day, donning the mask to hide a face they no longer felt they owned. They still explore the Highlands, but now they reroute treasure hunters and leave anonymous maps for the Rock Wizards, trying to repay a debt to a silent stone.
