The Estharan Halrequin

The universe holds secrets that no mortal man was ever meant to discover. Sometimes, those secrets call on the back of whispering winds - a faint voice with the rustling of dead leaves in an old oak, an agonized scream accompanying a howling winter wind. The Harlequins, dark and misbegotten, are the men and women that have trained themselves to unlock those secrets, to learn the things that mortals were long ago forbidden to know, and to listen to the world around them. They are unnerving, with their otherwordly balance, nigh-omniscient insight, and ghastly masks, and they are detached from all sense of reason and reality. The wise quickly learn to give them a wide berth.
