Duiker
'Born on the plains of Dal Hon, Duiker's dark skin matched that of the local Debrahl; he was wearing the telaba sea cloak of a merchant trader from the island city of Dosin Pali, and spoke the language without hint of an accent' (DG, UK MMPB, p.68)

None to Witness
The first cracks appeared shortly after the execution
of Sha’ik. None could know the mind of Adjunct
Tavore. Not her closest officers, and not the common
