A hulking figure stumbles out of the Temple of the Oracle. He staggers, nearly colliding with a nearby Enclave Delegate. She jumps a bit, startled by the far-away look in his eyes. “What ails you,” she blurts out, but the man lurches into a feeble run. Her question ignored, the Delegate watches in confusion along with several others as the man runs increasingly faster away from the Temple, shaking away the heavy effects of the Quest Fugue. Turning to a fellow Delegate she asks, “What could that mean?” Barely hearing the question, Atlova Simmurest feels a strange sense of dread fill her as the vaguely familiar man disappears over the bridge leading to the Palace of the Houses.
