The Crowsworn
Babylon is amongst the oldest being in Kalkatesh and the surrounding planes, but there are some threats that even one such as he will need assistance with. The Astral Reckoning brings with it a power not seen in an eye blink and the Lord of Oaths will not see it return unresisted. Not this time. Returning to the one creature whom he owed a debt, one that would never collect, he once more tests the meaning of this friendship, to ask without shame and to give without compensation. He seeks his friend, Vavren.
