High above the cold city below, in a gloomy cave, lives the Soul Gatherer and her companion dragon. She climbs upon his back and circles the city from twilight until dawn looking for souls who have lost their way and are still wandering the earth. The hourglass rests beside the skulls of those who did not go easily. On these she used her blade. Their time of haunting the good people of the earth ran out and they are doomed to stare with their empty eyes at the time they lost. You may have seen her, the Soul Gatherer and her Dragon, flying in the night sky. Perhaps you thought it was only a shadow or a nightbird. But if she comes for you you will know. In her wake trail the pale, ghostly remenants of those who once were part of this life, but are no more as she leads them on to the next world. Some call her an angel, some call her the reaper. But she is known by the gods as the Soul Gatherer.
