“Better to marry a stone than Silence Montane. A stone showed more affection.”

—Daggon on Silence Montane

Silence Montane or Silence Forescout was a woman who owned a waystop in the Forests of Hell.

History

Silence Montane ran a waystation that served as a neutral zone in the Forests, as well as place to buy food and drink. She was once married, but her husband became a shade, who was rumored to guard the waystation.

Silence gave birth to a single daughter, William Ann Montane, who helps her run the waystation. An odd girl known as Sebruki also helped out as well.

Silence kept a book of wanted posters and bounties, containing images of wanted men and women that she could capture for a bounty of silver, to ward off shades. She noticed that a group of men in her waystation were Chesterton Divide and his accomplices, a wanted group of murderers who were worth enough silver to pay for her waystation's supply needs for a year or two.

Appearance & Personality

Silence was a stout woman who walked with a noticeable limp. She was also shorter than her daughter, William Ann, much to her joy. When Silence got very nervous, her fingers would start shaking uncontrollably.

Silence commonly wore a scowl, although Daggon believed that it was simply the way that Silence said hello. Daggon and Silence seem to have some sort of connection, as Silence often gives him an extra slice of venison and scowls at him less than she does to others. Silence was a tough woman, who was said to show less affection than a stone.
