Sylas Swiftbow is a Wood Elf Guide consumed by an unyielding curiosity to map the blank spaces of the world. The moment the toxic Ashwall faded, he abandoned a predictable life to plunge into the newly exposed ruins of the Ashen Marches, obsessed with uncovering their forgotten treasures and hunting down lethal monsters.

A near-fatal subterranean ambush broke his survival limits, teaching him to move invisibly through the pitch black. Now operating out of the rough outpost of Last Lantern, Sylas recruits rotating groups of hardened mercenaries, eager to return from the dangerous wild hexes with heavy gold, fresh scars, and wild stories.
