Valdemar Constable

Valdemar Constable, often referred to as the Constable, is the head authority and omnipresent ruler of Valgrad. While a governing body still runs the towns finer laws, the Constable takes precedent in all major decisions. Otherwise, it is rarely seen around the city, and no one knows where it is when it isn't present along the streets or in the government building of the town.

## Origin

The Constable first appeared in a physical form during the Crunch, in which it shielded the town of Snagovsburg from complete destruction. Witnesses say that a black cloud formed into the Constable and the entity proceeded to create a large semi-translucent barrier around the land. This is the barrier that still stands today and protects Valgrad. Beyond this, there is nothing known about the true origins of the Constable. There is some evidence that he could be a entity of the land, or at least something that is deeply tied to the physical area of Valgrad.

## Valgrad

The founding of Valgrad was due directly to the barrier that was created by the Constable, making the area the only habitable part of the Wastelands. Despite its isolation and less than appealing atmosphere, the people of the old town rebuilt it far more advanced than its previous incarnation. This is because of the Constables assistance in the project, sculpting the area to his whim. It was during this time that the inhabitants of Valgrad began to see the Constable as a deity, believing it to be the savior of their people. Soon, the peoples began to worship it and incorporate its will into the governance of the developing nation.

After the town was created to the Constables will, it became far more removed from the Valgrad Parliament. Soon, the Constable began to act far stranger than he had before. However, he still attends most meetings.

## Behavior and Abilities

The Constable not often seen, as it possesses the ability to phase into the infrastructure of Valgrad that can make it undetectable for any length of time. However, recent sightings have increased within the past 5 years, all with similar accounts from the victims. Often, a lone individual will see the Constable outside any building they are in, such as windows, doors, or other methods. Viewing the Constable is not dangerous, and ignoring it will cause it to leave within 10 minutes.

The Constable has no traditional Sacred Arts ever documented, instead it appears to have complete physical control over Valgrad. This allows him to alter any inorganic matter within Valgrad.

## Black Manhattan

If anyone talks to the Constable or otherwise beckons it with hand motions, it will leave immediately by walking out of view of the window. Those who beckoned the Constable will have a 12 oz. cocktail glass of liquid appear on the nearest table that's out of sight. If no tables are present, the glass will appear on the next one available. Therefore, it can be staved off indefinitely, but that's hard. Ignoring the glass will cause it to continue appearing, as will spilling it or otherwise disposing of it. I suppose you could avoid it forever though.

Drinking the liquid has shown a few effects, but nothing extraordinary. Reports say it tastes like nothing, and feels like nothing. As though they put their lips into a dry cup. Limited studies suggest that anyone who drinks the liquid has overall increased exercise and has a better diet, but nothing unusual, just a salad with their lunch and a more days at the gym. Anyone who already had these in their routine have had no noticeable changes.
