I learned this from a blind man near Spite. Burn this candle when you wish to sleep, and it will ease you. A man will come later. Cover your mirrors, but one, and let him cross through. A labour of knowledge is commendable, and the laborer is worthy of his reward."

As you prepare to sleep, you hear a knock. It is a man wearing golden sunglasses, with quite a few pistols and rifles. And two white cats. You lead him to a mirror, and he waits. You burn the candle, and quickly you are asleep. You dream, but you forget them when you wake. You only remember a phrase- "Ware serpents".

"I was a foremost authority on science and the supernatural in the Neath. There was one secret that I had yet to find a answer for- the nature of the Vake. I began relentlessly searching for answers. Ultimately, I found a man (or woman) working in the Great Game- someone who wore multiple scarves, called themselves the Muffled Intriguer. They could procure a fragment of it's hide. The deal was discovered by the Masters, who promptly laid siege to the Flit to arrest me. I was taken to Spite, to an asylum hidden deep in its folds, supposedly for orphans. There I lost my mind."

"But my folly affected many around me. The Muffled Intriguer was beaten and arrested. My brother was killed for pursuing a deal behind the mirrors to find me. But they found a way to find me, to stop the deal from ever taking place. And thus, I gave up the life of a researcher."
