What's wrong with the Nightkin?
|
|
Nightkin suffer schizophrenia from the Stealth Boys they're always using. One of the reasons I settled Jacobstown was so they could be cured.

What's wrong with the Nightkin?
|
|
While they're in town, the Nightkin aren't allowed to have Stealth Boys so their craziness doesn't get worse.

Trouble is the Nightkin don't like being visible, either. They don't take being exposed too well.

Why does Keene want to leave?

Because of a promise. One I haven't been able to keep. The Nightkin all suffer from schizophrenia. It's the Stealth Boys they use, used to use.
