Description

Human expert 2/rogue 2

Not every disciple of Achaekek or denizen of Mediogalti kills for her god. Some serve as go-betweens and mediators, every bit as cold as their masked kin. The representatives of the Vernai have a keen gift for reading others and dabble in every facet of knowledge. In addition to brokering Mantis services, they often serve as a neutral third party to settle disputes. Fear of the Red Mantis ensures their safety and enforces their decisions, even in the most hostile territory.
