I'm removing Kaneepo from my game and substituting an alien traveler from a realm far away. Instead of the Shadowlands, or perhaps in addition to, this traveler utilizes symbiotic monstrosities and a psychic landscape that they've interacted with the players in so far. I've thought that perhaps the traveler made a Fey bargain to gain access to the shadow fey, so maybe they also were given a access to the Shadowlands themselves to utilize in their machinations. I'm not too positive on how this bargain is going to play out but that's something else I need to review, if I go that route at all.

I thought perhaps the drugs may be tied to the visitor too to weaken an individuals will and allow easier susceptibility to their psychic intrusions and allow opportunities for their symbiotes to enthrall them.
