Shalim-Ratri, the Deceiver of the Court: "Through your dreams it watches, unseen but always present. It stands in your shadow from the day you were born, and leaves only in your final moments. Veiled in cloudless night, it feasts on hope and broken oaths. All know it, most dread it. It sees through walls of mind and stone, it reaches through every realm. It is worshipped in dark places, but such devotion falls in vain. If you call it, it will flee; if you seek it, it will hide. You cannot touch it, yet it ever touches back."
