Adeimantus
 |
From the bustling streets of Nexus to the savage western seas¸ Creation is ripe with threats to mortals and Chosen alike. Crooked traders¸ vile occultists¸ and even zealous protectors of the Realm can be found in every city¸ satrapy¸ and region waiting for unsuspecting targets or standing their ground as they prepare for the inevitable.
In this collection you will meet new foes¸ encounter old enemies¸ and learn the inner workings of several different factions and societies dedicated to criminal activity¸ nefarious plotting¸ and more.
Adversaries of the Righteous: AdeimantusAdeimantus is a condescending sophisticate who only wants the best for Beimeni-Ta¸ and regards other civilizations as mere echoes. Creation's inhabitants are all citizens-in-waiting¸ and he delights in meeting those of refinement - such arts are jewels for Beimeni-Ta's crown¸ so he obsessively courts sages¸ courtesans¸ and martial artists.
Adeimantus does not lower himself to fighting unless he must¸ appealing to reason when defied and expressing pity for those he considers blind to the virtue of his cause. His death would banish Beimeni-Ta for a time - but his heir¸ chosen by quarreling raksha senators¸ would be free to claim it for themselves. Beimeni-Ta was dangerous enough when it aspired to perfection; what form might the parasitic dollhouse take when remade in a new devil's image?
