Act I: Descent into the Underworld
Origin of the Scryer.
Scene 1: The Fleeting Light of Integrity
In my early days, before the shadows clung to my name, I was a different man—lighter, perhaps, but blinded by naive ambition. I dealt in the currency of false hopes, selling futures to pilgrims too desperate to question the cost. Each lie chipped away at whatever good remained within me.
Scene 2: A Fall from Grace
The deceit couldn't last. The enraged voices of those I'd wronged dragged me from the flickering twilight into the abyss of the underworld. Their anger was a baptism by fire that burned away my former self, leaving only The Black Scryer in its wake.
Scene 3: The Cloak of Shadows
Fate, with its cruel humor, led me to a cloak store—an unassuming twist in my sordid tale. Those cloaks weren’t just fabric; they were woven with dark destinies. Donning one, I joined the Crows. Chaos whispered in my ear, and I listened.
Act II: Rise of the Swindler
Mania's Grip Saga
Scene 1: The Jester's Wand
I watched as Julian, pilfered The Jester's Wand from our sanctum. His treachery set into motion the Guild’s relentless hunt through cursed lands and shattered hopes.
Scene 2: The Pursuit
The Murder, crows ourselves, chased Julian across the forsaken lands. The hunt was relentless—a test of our wills against his desperation. It was a dance with despair on the grand stage of chaos.
Scene 3: The Inescapable Past
We captured him, dragging Julian back to the Crow's Den. The Crows were unforgiving. I saw in his eyes a mirror of my past follies—the inescapable grip of the deeds that define us.
The Swindler Saga
Scene 1: Chasing Ghosts
My own past, a gallery of ghosts, haunted me relentlessly. I pursued the Swindler, a man whose crimes mirrored my own. But was I seeking justice, or was I merely confronting my own shadow?
Scene 2: Xur's Madness
Amid our vendettas, Xur toiled away at his monstrous experiment. His ambition to create a new form of terror was a reminder that some are drawn to chaos not as a path, but as an end.
Scene 3: A Cage of One's Own Making
We recaptured the Swindler, locking him away. In the chilling silence of his cell, I wondered if he found madness or truth. How thin the line between them seemed then. As we become the Red Cows, the ritual of Xur starts, making the corpse of the swindler explode in different parts ...
Act III: Redemption or Damnation
A New Beginning
Scene 1: The Weight of Guilt
The death of Chen, a comrade under my watch shattered something within me. I could no longer bear the weight of the cloak, nor the shadows it cast. Was there redemption for one such as I? I had to find out.
Scene 2: Return to Darkness
Driven by a newfound resolve, I returned to the Crow's Den. It was time to confront the dark forces I had once served. This was my penance, or perhaps my end.
Scene 3: The Final Stand
As I rally my allies, I set my sights on the Coven's Lair as the ultimate battleground to seek vengeance for Chen.
And died..
