292, The shadows themselves seem to coalesce into a gaunt, skeletal being.

Before you stands a tall, gaunt figure, clad in the robes of a mystic. Sickly, blackened hide seems stretched over the skull, and the eye sockets lie cold and empty. Repulsive by any measure, what graces remain stem from the careful, almost practiced, way he carries himself. Your eyes are drawn more towards his robes, for they are both elegant and unusual. An intricate pattern of red and blue weaves itself through the garment, blended to a series of symbols and glyphs. Prominent among these are a circle about a center, a crescent, a circle above a cross, a circle conjoined with an arrow, intertwined serpents, a scythe, and a forked glyph denoting lightning. Special care has been taken in tracing a thin, golden rune denoting a hydra as well... it seems newer than the others, and woven of a beautiful thread that shimmers in the light. Various patterns of astrological significance have been embroidered into his belt, which serves to support a surprising variety of small pouches and obscure instruments. Prominent among the signs is a stylized sentinel figure, its spear held aloft. A lightweight traveler's journal bound in a curious skin of some sort hangs at his left hip-bone, and its surface seems nearly covered by runes, carvings, and symbolism. Valguarnera, a male undead, is in perfect health.
