UNSPEAKABLE
From the dark comes a hideous abomination covered in slimy tentacles. Just when
you think it's about to eat you, it greets you instead. Maybe if you stand real still
it'll forget your there.
What you thought was an Elf suddenly morphs into a strange Aberration with
many tentacles and claws.
A Dwarf stumbles into a strange community. The houses are made of flesh and it's
denizens behave oddly. He would have mistaken it for an Illithids' civilization if not
for the fact not one is in sight. He also decides to give up ever drinking again.
The Unspeakable has been touched by the Far Realms, whether she came from
them, was exposed from them, or was created by some such Aberration.

OF THE FAR REALMS

As an Unspeakable you have been touched by the Far Realms. Expect others to be
freaked out. In fact expect freaking others out to be a Weapon in itself.
