Description
Ubys's sibling — in the sense that Shadar-Kai use the word for those who have shared enough lifetimes to constitute a kind of family. Hauris watches souls. That is the domain of the Nine they occupy: tracking the passage of Shadar-Kai souls, maintaining the wall of soul containers, and conducting the trace-ceremonies that determine where a soul is or has gone.
What the Party Knows
- The falcon of the Nine. Their specific domain is soul-watching.
- Conducted the soul-trace ceremony when the party arrived — working with the black disc and a crystal vial of green wisps, trying to trace a Nightweaver's missing soul and getting nothing back.
- Repeated the ceremony with Griggen guiding and Crowley's necklace as a focus — this time the trace resolved into a location: the underground soul-lab in Evernight.
- The missing Nightweaver is Hauris's direct concern. The soul container is on the wall; it is present, not damaged, but vacated. This is anomalous — and clearly alarmed them.
- Ubys consulted with Wepa about the missing soul, quietly, after the first ceremony — confirming Hauris and Wepa are separate members of the Nine with different roles.
