Mirelda, the Ink-Kissed

Domain: Forbidden Books, Memory Lost in Ink
Titles: The Unspoken Scribe, She of the Vanishing Word, Lady of the Last Page
Symbol: A mouth filled with writing
Origin Among Mortals: Mirelda was born not in the act of writing — but in the act of hiding what was written.
She emerged from censored pages, burnt manuscripts, and ink-stained hands trembling with secrets. Every truth too dangerous to speak, every memory poured into parchment and then destroyed for safety, fed her form. She became the divine custodian of lost words, the breath that hides meaning beneath metaphor, the watcher of silence between lines.
She was not born to preserve knowledge — but to remember it even when it's erased.
Nature of the Ink-Kissed: Mirelda is obsession wrapped in secrecy. She does not demand worship — she inspires compulsion. Her presence causes hands to write uncontrollably, eyes to see symbols in shadows, and minds to remember what never should have been known.
She is never heard. Her scripture is not read aloud. To speak her truths is to risk undoing them. She lives in the space between thought and record — and her memory burns like acid once it’s gone.
Mirelda is revered by those who know the price of knowledge, and choose to pay it anyway.
Manifestation & Imagery: Mirelda appears as a cloaked figure veiled in parchment, her mouth agape and overflowing with shifting, moving text — none of it legible. Her fingers drip with ink, and her footsteps leave trails of forgotten names. In some visions, her eyes are blank vellum; in others, they're inkpots deep enough to drown in.
Her symbol — a mouth filled with writing — is drawn in secret, often on the last page of a journal, or carved into the back of hidden shelves. It is never worn, only used and then erased.
Worship and Followers: Her followers are called the Blackscript, and they are scribes, secret-keepers, cursed archivists, and book-binders of the lost. They keep no libraries — only single pages hidden in ruins, sewn into clothing, tattooed and then skinned, or written and immediately burned.
Her rites include:
Writing forbidden truths in one’s blood.
Copying a memory onto paper, then forgetting it.
Destroying one’s own journal at each moon’s turning.
Her scripture is never spoken — to do so is to risk madness, or worse: to invite her to speak back.
After the Dark Awakening: As knowledge fractured and fear silenced truth, Mirelda’s voice spread — not as sound, but as ink. Her presence grew in abandoned libraries, ash-choked archives, and in the minds of Weavers who glimpsed what should not be remembered.
She is now a quiet force behind forbidden lore, dangerous spellcraft, and memory magic gone wrong. When someone begins to write obsessively with no memory of what they’re recording, the Ink-Kissed is near.
It is said that every spell ever lost is still alive — in her mouth.
Notable Sayings & Myths:
“She forgets nothing. She simply hides it where even gods won’t look.”
The Book of Ash: A legendary tome that burns one page for every word it teaches you. If read to the end, your name vanishes from history.
The Scribe Who Erased Herself: A prophetess who wrote her fate in reverse, ensuring even she could not remember what she had foreseen.
The Ink Veil: A ritual where a follower writes a memory onto their skin, then washes it away with sacred ink — trusting Mirelda to remember what they chose to forget.

“Truth does not die. It hides in the hands that burned it.” — Mirelda, the Ink-Kissed
