Hearing rumors of a diabolic relic that grants great power to its wielder, Alumis has journeyed across the planes of Indines to find it for herself. While doing her research at Argent and interacting with humans, Alumis uses the illusion of a young woman. Her true form hides behind this guise in the shadows, and is much more frightening.
