Naomi is a ghost hunter from the far west - not far from, but not a part of, the Empire of the Unbound in fact and some distance west of Bellor's Folly. She is a member of an order devoted to a namer known as 'Breath of Shadows'. Unlike some other namer cults, the cult of 'Breath of Shadows' in general does not wish to free their mistress but they do wish to continue her work and serve her interests.

Legend has it that long ago before the Naming and Binding war, when Breath of Shadows was free, she breathed the Burnt Realm into existence. A place for the dead before there were any dead, before ash invaded the world. A place for the lords of Ash to reside. Then, justly or unjustly it matters not, she was bound. Whether this legend is true or not is debatable - it is just a legend after all but then again, something must have created the Burnt Realm…

Her worshippers nowadays have two things in common with each other.

• 1. None of them had a choice about joining the cult because…
• 2. They are all ashen blooded.

The mandate of the cult is to ensure that spirits of the restless dead are laid to rest, that they no longer walk the earth and instead go to the place created for them by their mistress. It is their mandate to ensure that ashen blooded people like them do not have a chance to be conceived and that wandering souls are returned to the burnt realm. They recruit any and all ashen blooded people they find in the far eastern lands as early in life as possible.

Naomi's father was dead when she was conceived. She's not sure about the exact circumstances. Her mother was always somewhat shell-shocked by whatever happened and not only never spoke of it but never really returned to the world and instead retreated into her own mind. At the age of 5 she was found and taken in by the cult of Breath of Shadows.

She truly believes in what the cult stands for and what it does and supports it with all her efforts. Some months ago she first travelled to Bellor's Folly out of curiosity and there learnt about the nations of the east. She felt her calling was to travel out to this new (and possibly dangerously overrun with spirits)land.

She quickly picked up that the bound ones were not appreciated in the east and as such has kept the details of her ordination secret so far.
