Taint

Addressed to: Everyone
I am a Viscanti, of direct lineage of a Lucidian of Hallifax, tainted by
the Touch of Kethuru.
My body is stronger, and mind a bit slower. I need the air, the water,
and the food of the taint to live a normal life, much like the Merians
of Celest need the water to survive, I need the taint. Much like the
elfen need the ethereal, I need the taint.
Am I evil? Is New Celest evil? Are the villagers of Serenwilde evil?
Magnagora, New Celest, Serenwilde. All hold denizens who are more
bloodthirsty than most, and all hold denizens who are more peaceful than
most. You will not find most viscanti nobility marching onto the
battlefield, slathering for meat and blood.
I am a Master Viscanti, the highest of my race. I kill when it suits my
aims, when an enemy attacks me, or those I have sworn to protect. If New
Celestian or Serenwildean denizens invade a village I have sworn to
protect, and start destroying its property, I will kill them, and make
sure the property is returned, intact. Death is but a passage on to
higher knowledge.
I am not evil. I am not good. I am.
