Eternal Sleepers.
Upon hearing the name, Gawain wasn't excessively surprised.
He had pondered about who or what faction would try to deal with him and use such an 'unconventional' method. The nobles in the royal capital who harbored unfathomable motives would only dare to create some disturbances secretly, while the royal clan didn't need to oppose him for now. Apart from them, the Cecil Clan didn't have any dispute over benefits with any of the current factions in the world, with the exception of those heretics who were opposed to everyone by nature.
Among the major heretic factions, the Eternal Sleepers were the strangest and most unpredictable; they were also the most proficient in spiritual sorcery.
