Korvash is a well respected detective and investigator in the western empire and was thus, was sent by the empress to find out the truth of the monsters that came from the mysterious Duskwoods.

But the woods are said to be haunted by the Forest's 'ghost'. The Secretkeeper or sometimes known as the Veiled One. A being that is said to reside in the forest and hold its secrets. They are often seen at the edge of the forest outside the empire's borders, a veiled bamboo hat, decorated with white tassels, hiding their face, the cloth reaching down to their knees, in close proximity with the monsters. But neither the monster not the Secretkeeper would acknowledge one another.
