Part of the Background

Blend into the Background

A stealth skill that makes its user so unremarkable an entire army can march past unaware.

Story so far

Edgar the tortoise mage holds Part of the Background at level 15, and at that rank it is close to absolute: an entire army would march right past him and never notice unless someone actually tripped over him. It is what makes a creature as slow as Edgar the ideal scout for a route through Naga Territory.

Paired with his level-15 Sense Movement, the skill lets him sit unnoticed inside enemy ground and report on what moves there in the hours before Operation: Snake Pit.

Role

The stealth half of Edgar's scouting kit.
