Lore :

The drow are warlike people, always in a war or two with neighbouring cultures and tribes. Their most fearsome warriors are members of the Stalker caste, a unit of single warriors spending the entirety of war behind enemy lines, stalking the enemies' most entrenched and vital objectives.

Traxex was from an early age incorporated through the ranks due to her uncanny knack for disorienting and demoralizing the opponents, and she was pushing to become a fully acclaimed Stalker. Finally, when it was time for her to obtain her signature warbow of the caste, a ceremony that called for a token from the enemy to be placed as a grim ornament on the bow, her offering was a strange mask depicting a skull-like figure, an artifact she has acquired from the Berzerker tribes the drow fought.

As she proudly stalked the enemy that night, she discovered that the mask had plans of her own, as for every arrow that flew towards the enemy the mask begun to twist and turn, relishing in the bloodshed. The dark metals begun to burn from the inside with a strange red glow and a faint whisper begun to echo in her head, urging her to forego all caution and slaughter the enemy without mercy.

Unfazed, she pressed on the task at hand, unwilling to leave her earned prize, as she reasoned the masks fiery hatred complemented her chilly demeanor in the heat of battle, secretly joking that the wretched artifact at least had the subtlety to be audible only to her. But solitude is the first step to madness, and the mask might have the final laugh..

Stalker Cape
