"Carving the face of a saint into that of a diametrically opposed god is an act of profound desecration," Kasala said. "It may be that religious rites must be performed to appease the restless spirits of Castle Rend."<br/><br/>As Larissa descended into the crypt, she found a room lined with eighteen stone sarcophagi, a stone statue of an armoured knight standing vigil over each. A nineteenth sarcophagus stood against the western wall, above which was a graven likeness of the Fang and Claw crossed above its head.<br/><br/>First Kasala then Elaine followed Larissa down the ladder, taking positions behind her. As Elaine's feet touched down on the stone a ghostly figure emerged from the standing sarcophagus, a woman bearing the unmistakable figure and features of a Ruxvan.<br/><br/>"Talons, attend!" the ghostly woman commanded. From each of the coffins rose a spectral knight in full battle regalia. Turning to face Larissa, they clasped mailed firsts over their hearts in salute. The Ruxvan ghost stepped closer, her hips swaying with an unmistakable confidence. "It's been a long time since a living Ruxvan walked these halls," she said. "I am Larissa, First of the Talons."
