Nightchill is a formidable figure whose life ends violently at the hands of a Kenryll’ah demon. Her remains are kept in a stained burlap sack, an unsettling image that lingers in the conversations around her. Even as the body changes, her presence persists in the memories of those who speak of her.
Description
Nightchill is tall, with raven-black hair that gives her an arresting silhouette. The text presents her as imperious in bearing, but does not specify her complexion, eye color, facial structure, or clothing. Her defining visual impression is one of controlled authority and stillness.
