Deadeye Cryptic
A Cryptic deadeye standing silent outside an inkspren bookseller's stall in the coastal waystop. Her pattern has halted completely — the normally graceful lines twisted into jagged shapes like broken fingers — and her centre bears the same kind of scraping as Maya's scratched-out eyes. The inkspren shopkeeper insists she became this way recently, not in the long-ago Recreance. SA:RoW:Ch 30

The broken Cryptic from the market is therefore proof a modern Radiant killed her, within the last decade.SA:RoW:Ch 90
