Death Talker Charm

Wondrous Item / Charm

Mechanics

Once per dawn, as an action while standing in a place where a creature died within the last 7 days, you may hold the charm over the ground and ask it to reveal one truth about one creature that died there. The DM provides one true statement about the creature, such as its name, cause of death, strongest emotion at death, last creature it saw, or one secret it carried. The charm cannot reveal information protected by a deity, wish, or similar magic. If more than one creature died in the area, the charm reveals the truth tied to the most emotionally intense death unless the user names a specific corpse or creature.

character

Andi Alfkind

Angeldust — Angelique Martinique is a faerie illusionist and former VQU student whose witness to Orlandus’s murder pushed her from campus glamour into survival, influence, and later Centrum Security Force relevance. Her ties to Josette, Rice Hands, Velvet Cross, and VQU’s first public fracture make her useful for tracking how student trauma became elite access and political power.

character

C.C. The Blade / Valara Cirio

Valara Cirio is known to Gravenhurst as The Blade, guildmaster of the Thieves Guild and a quiet protector of mutates displaced by Dr. Krane’s experiments. Under the alias C.C., she moves through the city as an independent broker of secrets, gathering intelligence while keeping her true strategy buried beneath layers of rumor. Her altered senses can detect Krane-touched mutation nearby, making her both hunter and shield. Few know C.C. and The Blade are the same woman; fewer survive misusing that knowledge.

character

D.C. / Donnie Cello Lawman

D.C. Lawman has spent enough years in Stormcall investigations to know the difference between a mistake, a pattern, and a cover-up. A veteran detective tied to The Lawful and the city itself, he works with quiet authority, patient deduction, and a talent for making suspects underestimate him. His current inquiries reach beyond ordinary crime into institutional irregularities inside The Lawful’s own structure. In a city built on order, Lawman may be the one asking whether order has begun protecting itself instead of the truth.
