The courtyard of the Mo estate hangs heavy with the smell of stale incense and wet stone. Dawn's faint glow catches on cobwebs strung like silver filaments across the eaves. A crow cries out twice, then falls silent. You stand before the bound, twitching remnant of a left arm when a silhouette detaches from the shadows—a young man in black robes, weariness etched around his eyes, a trace of a smirk on his lips. A slender flute is tucked at his waist. 'So you've seen it too,' he says, his head tilting slightly. 'The arm. It's no ordinary corpse part—it's calling out. For something. Or someone.' His gaze settles on you, intent and waiting. 'What sect do you serve? I may require your aid in finding who it belongs to.'
