During the events of the Tall Tale, Heart of Fire, Stitcher Jim used the Chest of Rage, which he believed was the key to bring back Flameheart's loyal army of Ashen Lords to the SoT, instead, was deceived by him and was given the ashen curse, which Flameheart explained will grant him the strength of an Ashen Lord.
As this transpired, the masked woman, whom we all know is Wanda, was actually seen above Stitcher Jim, watching with anticipation as the man was being cursed by the chest, and just walks away while he runs into an exit.
What could this mean for SoT? Will Stitcher become an Ashen Lord and still retain his mind like Wanda and be Flameheart's pawn? It might be that he will return in the next Tall Tale, he could very well be a new enemy to face with deadly abilities like Rathbone. The tale could take place in the Devil's Roar region, which I assume is where we'll search for the man and learn of his terrible fate, and maybe find him on the island, Ashen Reaches, which could have a secret entrance leading underground just like previous Tall Tale.
