Touched by Legend

There have always been haunts and ‘haints’ in the Kopav Alliance; something in the very fabric of the lands of Tahanan, the rumors go. Perhaps it was always Far Realm energy, even before the portal was opened. Maybe it’s the same eldritch mysteries that gave rise to the entity which is the Voiceless Waste. Or, possibly, the veil between what is real and what is fantasy is, by the land’s nature, very thin… to the point of being threadbare in places. Whatever the actual truth, your being, and essence, has been touched by those legends, leading to you being touched by some mystery of the land. So walk softly in the threadbare places, do ya.
 

Origin

The strange and thin places of the world have left a mark on you—perhaps from a dream that was too real, or a shadow that knew your name. You are different now. The touch of a story that shouldn't be real now whispers in your soul.
