Mystic Robe Legs

A long-held frustration of the Zamorakian magi, the magical sect of the Children of Shadows, was that Zamorak never came to them. At no point did Zamorak ever set foot on the shores of Ashenfall. This fact is key to understanding the resentful mentality of the shadow mage: they feel a constant undercurrent of abandonment. It also explains why they believe that mystic cloth, "came from Zamorak himself".

As mystic cloth became more available at Dowdun Reach, Lord Rasmodel made the decision to allow its trade. The trade partners would be carefully chosen - no Saradominists, obviously. It led to the first interactions between the Children of Shadows and an offshoot of the garou. They showed no animosity to the Children; more a kind of unbridled curiosity. A friendship, of sorts, grew between Rasmodel and their merchants.

Over the span of that friendship, Rasmodel learned about their affinity to the moon, and their need to remain untethered, nomadic. He did not pry at their religion, but wondered whether this offshoot shared the same god as their counterparts.

It frustrated Rasmodel that he could not infiltrate the moon garou, as he did all other civilisations: he had no one in the Reach with the physiology. So, he resolved to meet with Alric, something he deemed a last resort.

Alric suggested something interesting. He could not change the appearance of a human to resemble a garou: that was beyond his capabilities. But the mystic cloth: within that fabric dwelled an opportunity. The material was known to hum, to resonate. But, like a parrot, it could also retain resonance and repeat it. With work, the mystic cloth could survey the moon garou.

Perhaps Rasmodel could infiltrate them, after all.
