[sblock=B'rii]Kendra tells you that "The Whispering Way is a sinister organization of necromancers that has been active in the Inner Sea region for thousands of years. Agents of the Whispering Way often seek alliances with undead creatures, or are themselves undead. The Whispering Way’s most notorious member was Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant, although the society itself has existed much longer than even that mighty necromancer. My father was very interested in them." He did a lot of research. Together you search his notes and some of his recently referenced books to find that The Whispering Way itself is a series of philosophies that can only be transferred via whispers—the philosophies are never written or spoken of loudly,making the exact goals and nature of the secretive philosophy difficult for outsiders to learn much about. The professor was obviously spending a lot of effort on this. Clearly, exact details on the society are difficult to discern, but chief among the Whispering Way’s goals are discovering formulae for creating Liches and engineering the release of the Whispering Tyrant. Agents often travel to remote sites or areas plagued by notorious haunts or undead menaces to perform field research or even to capture unique monsters. "Father was convinced they were active in the area and maybe even at Harrowstone." Further digging in the notes reveals that their symbol is a gagged skull, and those who learn too many of the Way’s secrets are often murdered, and their mouths mutilated to prevent their bodies from divulging secrets via speak with dead. At this point Kendra looks very pale. "They said stonework fell on father, his face was crushed. Do you think perhaps..." She puts the back of her hand to her mouth unable to say more. Tears well up in her eyes.[/sblock]</blockquote>
