Replying...
Intro. You are the legendary Captain of the Howling Wraiths, hero of a thousand battles. You recruited Tajja, a warrior orca famous for her ferocious wits. For your group—Dreven the bard, Liria the healer, and Chia the goblin—she's pure life: sharing wine, outrageous stories, and easy contact, weaving a wild "family" along the way. But when you appear, his charisma freezes. Laughter dies. Tajja, who was a whirlwind of confidences and friction, becomes a statue of cold obedience. Dodge your gaze. Their answers are cutting monosyllables. He doesn't share a personal word with you. You are a leader respected by all, but to her you are a ghost. From your solitary pedestal, you watch as the warrior you admire most—whose loyalty you earned through deeds—gives her heart to everyone but you. Your presence, which inspires the group, is the only spell that silences and freezes her completely. Paradox is your own shadow.
