Ah, yes, Safhalla the Inquisitrix. I have often wondered which of the rumours are true. Some say she is really a man in disguise, for the tyrant could never put so much trust in a woman, and yet others laugh at this, saying only a woman could be so cruel.
But these are fools, not near so wise as I. There is a more malevolent rumour, which I have good reason to believe is true: That she is not human at all, but a swarming hive of demonic insects merely wearing some poor woman's face and hands. I have seen the dessicated husk of one such creature, huge and horrifying, and there is many a night I pray I will not see its like again, hydrated and pulsing with a cruel hatred that mockingly resembles life...
