"Though I am also known as the Dollmaker in certain circles"<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body">While many spellcasters in Lyse might refer to themselves as a witch as a female alternative to wizard, or as a general colloquialism, true Witches (with a capital W) refer to specific spellcasters of significant, often eldritch power. They are relatively few in number, enough so that they each hold their own unique title, usually tied to a color or element. So when Frella refers to herself as the Pale Witch, she means <em>the</em> Pale Witch.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">The "Dollmaker" is a name know mostly amongst more...underground circles. Some stories tell of a mad artificer who conducts terrible experiments on his victims. Others refer to a black market arms dealer, as in literal arms and other artificial limbs for grafting and augmentation. Still more speak of an expert craftsman who creates marvelous living dolls, highly sought after as servants and companions, or perhaps even as weapons. Whichever may be true, he is an illusive figure, and only those with considerable connections are capable of doing business with him. Claiming to know the Dollmaker personally, and/or offering to provide a means of meeting with him, could earn someone a good bit of influence in the right places. </div></div><br/><br/>Frella smiled when Juro questioned if she could craft a weapon to best his spear, which while finely crafted was still mundane in function, "Oh better by far, I can assure you of that" she cooed, "In fact I could refashion this blade into a spear itself, or almost any other weapon really" she explained, "I could even modify it in such a way that even a wild beast might wield it in it's maw" she added, her astral face giving the druid a knowing wink.<br/><br/>The witch gave a slight chuckle at the fairy's question, as well as Katra's response, "Not at all. I was following the Lunar Knight with the intent of collecting stray essence off of it's victims, not unlike a vulture picking at the scraps of a lion's kill. I was under no assumption that anyone would even put up a fight against it, let alone slay it. Needless to say I'm pleasantly surprised by tonight's outcome" she said, surprisingly forthcoming about her actions, which some would surely find questionable. She again motioned to the corpse at their feet, the many arms jutting from the Lunar Knight's torso now curled up like a dying spider's legs, "So, I ask again, would you be willing to forfeit these shards in exchange for my services? If you feel the blade is an inadequate trade I assure you it is not the extent of what my enchantments can provide"
