Veil of Shadows

Ash was an orphaned street urchin who grew up in the gutters of a desolate medieval city; his bitter youth spent picking pockets and snatching trinkets from the wealthy to survive. Over the years his art for stealth and sharpened skills had drawn the attention of the Thieves Guild who took him into their folds. Little did they know that the boy's tragic past would one day find itself woven within the treacherous schemes of a mysterious spider cult. As of late, a series of chilling murders have befallen several nobles within the privileged upper districts. Their gruesome deaths had appeared to be centered upon an ancient skull, a cursed relic which had recently found its way into the hands of a rich collector. There were few who would trespass upon the strange realms of witchcraft and dark magic ...but a master thief does not fear those who dwell in darkness, for he is one with the shadows.
