The Whisperers’ journeys through the world were filled with obstacles. They fought Horrors and all worldly plagues that could not escape the watchful eyes of Veles or the attention of Svarog’s warlike followers.
Soon, the grim gods and no-less-grim humans became jealous of the Whisperers’ fame and powerful artifacts, which were as scarce as red stars in the silvery skies. Yet, anyone attempting to ambush a Whisperer and cause them harm would fall from an invisible blow or sudden illness. Accounts say that before they attacked, Whisperers – as their name suggests – uttered quiet Incantations. Could this whisper be the hiss of fumes from toxic potions? Maybe it the whir of a new, innovative sling? What was this weapon that brought certain death whistling through the air? And if it was so mighty and fabled, then why was it never stolen, and why does no trace of it remain?
Could the Whisperers really wield divine power? These are the questions that scholars and Masters of the Grand Keep ask themselves while studying fragments of these ancient writings.
