A LITTLE WISDOM GOES A LONG WAY

At the table

  1. 01

    Intercepted words remain private, unverified claims.

  2. 02

    No whisper means no captured message; the power does not unlock older or future days’ conversations.

Mind the trap.

  • This is a conversion-only class. Neutrals and both Ruler allegiances cannot become it.
  • The Cult keeps one shared night attack. Its holder chooses a specialist action or the attack; conversion does not grant an extra independent kill.
