Habits & Rumors #

Agnes is a creature of the periphery. She is rarely heard speaking; instead, locals claim she communicates through “voiceless calls” or, more chillingly, through the rhythmic scratching of her fingernails against stone.

She is known to “nest” in the claustrophobic spaces of the city that others avoid—hidden oubliettes, damp crawlspaces beneath city tenements, and the forgotten maintenance shafts of the industrial district. To the superstitious residents of Caliphas, she is a bad omen, a physical manifestation of the rot that festers beneath the city’s fog-shrouded streets.
