Kasser Stoutdancer was a dwarven merchant and antiquities dealer in Arkrist. His knowledge of unusual objects had made him a potential source during Dizra Moonwind’s investigations, but in 8793 SE Kasser disappeared after entering a warehouse in the city.
Investigators later discovered a concealed alchemical and ritual workspace beneath the warehouse. Kasser’s body was found hanging inside a cage there, and the circumstances of his death helped establish that Arkrist’s recent disappearances were connected to organized ritual killings rather than ordinary crime. Why Kasser was selected as a victim, and whether his antiquities work had any direct connection to the conspiracy, remain unknown.
