Alright so I got the thumbs up from spice but I want to know what you guys think.
So I'm thinking after the ship sank, Aldwin got reports of that from one of his agents, and used connections to rile up the people in Uthlyn. And after years of being a minor power, and only being a mere rumor, The Witch Doctor is ready to make his debut by doing more than just disguise and heal mages....He's going to bring his test subjects to Uthlyn >:D
The summarize Aldwin, or how the public knows him as The Witch Doctor, he is a Connloathian native, but his parents were from Thanati. He's a flesh sculptor who runs a hidden business known as The Clinic, where he redesigns runaway mage's appearances. Though anyone who opposes (mostly nobles) or betrays him gets sent to his dungeon, where they get turned into hulking flesh beasts
