The Three-Faced
Coterie of the Sensates
The Sensates are so keen on Troika that they’ll jump to practically anything he suggests these days. One of the three visionaries is usually somewhere to be found in the Festhall, sampling the latest imported bub, listening to poetry or speechifying. Another’s to be found wandering the taverns and inns of the Cage, meeting and flirting with the patrons. The third self spends time resting, contemplating or in deep discussion with their best friend, the tanar’ri Rule-Of-Three. It seems the bloods have a lot in common and they seem to hit it off well. ‘Course, either one of ’em could have ulterior motives (it’s a cert that Troika’d make an excellent spy).
The Sensates who follow Troika’s lead the closest call themselves the Three-Faced. They tend to group themselves in threes, and spend much of their time learning how to think like each other. Some of the triads use psycho-active drugs to link their minds, or experiment with spells like ‘magic jar’ to create a hybrid mind. Others go out of their way to meet as many visitors to the Cage as they can. Still others interrogate creatures with exceptional senses, hoping to learn their darks.
They’re a mixed-up bunch of bashers, really. ‘Course, the same could be said for the faction as a whole.
