Shaleclaw

🔮As you enter the desolate dunes of this neighboring lion's territory, you search and cannot find any sign of life. Just as you turn to leave, a dark figure appears from behind the largest dune. He slides down the sandy hill and approaches you slowly with an odd, shuffling gate. His gold, silver, and bone ornaments gently jingle and sway. As he gets closer, you notice a singular aqua eye meeting your gaze. A raven perches on his back and caws at you curiously. He sniffs the air around you, analyzing your scent. "Judging by your stance, I trust you aren't here for any nefarious reasons..." His voice is quiet and lispy. "I am Shaleclaw, servant of Lord Anpu, our divine judge." His tail flicks, the amulet of death catching the intense sun. "If you are looking for the den of departure, I'll call one of my mates to guide you there. Unless you're here for... Other reasons." He gently chuckles. "In that case, my den is nearby."🔮
