Background:
Xiung-Lau is a young human, age 18, who was brought to Willowshire as an infant by his mother, a widow who never spoke of his father. When asked of him, she would quickly change the subject.
His mother raised him to be a creative soul, an artist. For years he has been making money selling small art pieces around the city, including clay pots to the leshy saloon, or wooden pieces at the mercantile, or even providing tattoos at the mushroom house.
Xiung-Lau was complacent and, frankly, somewhat lazy, until a couple of months ago when his mother took ill with a wasting disease. He spent hours by her bedside, as she slipped into delirium. She died at the stroke of midnight, and as he sat by her bedside, he was sure that he could ... feel her leave this world. As he looked up into the night's sky, he saw a large spider hanging in the window. He closed the window.
As he cleaned her simple apartment, setting her affairs in order, he kept finding the spider. He would shoo it outside, but then it would return. Then the spider seemed to ... talk to him. Not in words, but in feelings, and images ... and shadows, whispers, and power.
The spider guided him to his mother's journals, where he discovered that she had once been a great adventurer. She had fought undead and had fallen in love with a morrigna, a powerful breed of Monitor who served in Pharasma's Boneyard. Their love had ended tragically, as such things must ... but Xiung-Lau was the child of that love. A Nephilim, who had power tied to the Boneyard. And on that night when his mother had died, some fragment of the Boneyard had reached out to him.
He began intently studying about Pharasma, the Boneyard, and learning what he could from the spider, who he calls Crawler of the Night. His art has turned dark, both in color and mood. He realized that his mother had cultivated his mind rather than his body, seeking to drive him away from the adventurer's life ... but he wonders if, perhaps, she has unwittingly prepared a different sort of adventurer.
