The door opens once more, and a figure with an all-too-common ebon cloak
walks through.  She glances about at her surroundings, her eyes narrowing,
and removes her cloak, revealing a beautiful face with long black hair, and
eyes so dark that pupil and iris appear as a single pool of endless sable.
Those who have been in the Dragon's Inn from its inception recognize her:
it is she who identifies herself as Kryalla Simuel, the Shrouded One.

ADMIN:  The keeper of the character profiles may wish to return Kryalla's
	paragraph to his collection.

Kryalla was the first of the "dark figures in a corner watching everyone,"
in a time when the inn was still an empty building with people looking around
for fries.  It was she who brought those called Thongor and Emrikol from the
Inn, who have not yet returned from whatever quests she called them for.  She
glances about the room, then speaks to herself.  "The Dark One's agents are
not here.  I can remove my Shroud for a moment and rest."  She returns to her
corner (wondering why no fewer than 18 others seem to be following her example)
and sits, her cloak draped over her chair, the black leather beneath seeming
to be a well-sewn protection against weapons.  A glass of Mistwine finds its
way from a waitress's tray to her table of its own accord, and she calmly sips
it, musing at the faces that have returned and those who have not.
