Nameless Nine

The Nine are an oddity of folklore in Taen. Every culture has their own versions of the Nine. Sometimes they are sage elders, other times they are temptations. They are jesters and madmen. They are many things, but one thing remains the same: Their pretense brings about a great and often unexpected change.

He Who Conceals
Often described as a large, shifty figure. He Who Conceals often appears when a two characters work towards an understanding. His presence predicts the prolonging of misunderstand brought about by concealed feelings, thoughts, or secrets.

He Who Kills
He Who Kills is the most interesting Nameless. While sometimes his presence marks a character for death. Other times, he arrives to bring someone to kill another. And sometimes he directly kills a secondary character, causing a great change in tone.
