Clue 3: A Scottish name that literally means 'Welshman'. Any silverware made by someone fitting that name - and if so, what's its name?

It's like we've stepped into a dream teetering on the edge of a nightmare. If we weren't literally in the grasp of our dearest and darkest friends… this would be a pretty breathtaking party, y'know? The Dim Den has been draped in opulence, every corner adorned in rich violet velvet, shimmering silver, and glistening crystal chandeliers casting eerie shadows over the throngs of masked attendees below. It reeks of perfumes and wine, filling my head with this heavy, sickening weight. It's like… it's like the Universe is holding its breath.
There are more people here than any of us expected. I guess it could've gone one of two ways, huh? Either Umbra only invited the Cafe and the Society… or Umbra invited just about everyone. And it seems like it's the latter. There are beautiful, delicate masks mixed with grotesque and haunting ones—and every glance feels like a secret. I've been shuffling my cards, feeling the subtle shifts in the threads of Fate, but so far everything feels… normal. As normal as any of this could be, anyway.
The clock is inching closer to midnight, and the vibe here is growing more intense by the minute. Conversations are becoming more hushed, and the tension is just about unbearable. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination or if the fabric of reality is actually starting to fray. I sure hope the boys are getting close to finding and stopping Umbra… At least New Guy's been having a nice time. Even with all this looming impending doom, that little guy loves to be in the spotlight, huh? Hopefully, there will be a receipt tomorrow.
Hopefully.
Peace, love, and Joy… there, here, and what tomorrow may bring.
