The world is changing. Balances are shifting. And swords are becoming ever so prevalent.
News of tension begins to spread as Stanvrtra recovers from what was rumored to be an army of trees. Kalymah is on the brink as villagers go missing on a larger scale rumored to be to accrue more blood sacrifices. Kusunar faces conspiracy as a beloved hero is executed publicly, though rumors of her survival have been heard. And in the past few months a mercenary has taken to using the name of an ancient assassin...

In a bar...
"Have you heard? Someone calling herself Twilight Suzuka has been going around. Rumor has it, this merc is doing crazy things."
"Twilight? What the hell kind of name is Twilight?"
"You've never heard of the legend of Twilight Suzuka? Read a book, man! Twilight Suzuka was an assassin back before time was time. Legend has it, that she was a legendary swordswoman capable of striking so fast and so quickly that if you ever saw her, it would be the last night you'd be alive. You've heard of the statue of Moonscale, the Dragon King, and how if you ever visit the grand statue, you can see that the base was cut cleanly in two? Supposedly that was done by Twilight's blade, Masamune."
"I don't know... Sounds cool... but seriously, what kind of name is Twilight?!"
===
Twilight Suzuka wears black leather armor, seeming to suck in the night. Her raven black hair is tied into a pony tail and contains a single strip of crimson red hair, even in a pony tail, the length seems to flow down her back. She wears a sword hilt on each hip. The hilts themselves are not attached to any blade. She composes herself in a quiet and serious demeanor and walks into town seeking rumors and tales. Although she dons the name of an assassin, she does not kill for pay. In fact, she does not kill unless provoked into it. It does not take much to provoke her, however.
