(a.k.a. The Wax Seer)
The Candle Maker
There are tales told amongst the children of elkus, to always replace one's candles and to never let one burn out, lest the Candle Maker pay your home a visit. While this tale has some truth to it, the reality is so much more terrifying. What was once a monk worshipping the god of fate, Rakshama, soon fell into an unending madness. Tapping into sight given by his god to gaze into the future, he foresaw terrible darkness that would consume the world. His mind raked with paranoia, he would endlessly search for more ways to keep the darkness out of his abode. Turning to the people of Tallow-sol, he would procure more and more candles, never satisfied with how there was always a tiny fraction of his home unlit. His obsessions would consume him, both mentally and physically. Slowly, he grafted more and more candles onto his body, until there was more wax than man. Burning away his own eyes, he would give himself entirely to the visions of Rakshama. While he remains secluded, it is said he is able to sense the encroaching of darkness... and the moment before a candle burns away, he will appear.
