Muskroot
Steward Muskroot
Muskroot is a Sidhe whose body and soul have been consumed by the slow, unrelenting grasp of decay, a caretaker of corruption whose presence lingers at the heart of the Court of Blight. Infested with Leprosy, his flesh is a testament to the court’s devotion to the beauty of rot and dissolution, his body a living embodiment of nature’s inevitable decline. Wrapped in tattered bandages that conceal the ravages of his affliction, Muskroot moves with a measured grace that belies the pain that wracks his form. Despite the relentless decay consuming his body, Muskroot’s mind remains razor-sharp, ensuring that the affairs of the Court of Blight are managed with ruthless efficiency.
Muskroot’s appearance is both haunting and regal. His ashen-gray skin, marred by patches of peeling flesh and oozing sores, is perpetually concealed beneath layers of discolored linen and gauze, bound tightly around his limbs and face. Only his sunken, piercing eyes—an unsettling shade of sickly amber— peer through the gaps, filled with grim resolve and ancient knowledge. The faint odor of mildew and decay clings to him, a subtle reminder of the affliction that festers beneath his wrappings. His movements, though deliberate and slow, exude a quiet authority—each step a reminder that decay is not weakness, but a force that shapes the world.
As steward of the Court of Blight, Muskroot’s role is both delicate and vital. He is charged with managing the infections within the court, ensuring that the spread of decay remains balanced and contained, lest the unchecked rot consume even the court itself. Muskroot walks the fine line between growth and ruin, ensuring that the slow creep of corruption never spirals beyond control. He monitors the delicate balance between blight and rebirth, ensuring that decay remains a purifying force, nurturing new life even as it consumes the old.
Muskroot’s mastery over decay extends beyond mere management—he understands the intricacies of disease, infection, and dissolution better than any other in the court. His knowledge allows him to orchestrate the spread of rot with terrifying precision, using decay as a tool to break down enemies or restore balance where corruption has grown too wild. His whispered counsel guides the court’s decisions, ensuring that every affliction and pestilence serves a purpose, whether to weaken a rival or to remind the world that all things must eventually wither and return to the soil.
Though his body is broken, Muskroot’s resolve remains unyielding. He accepts the decay that consumes him as a sacred burden, a reflection of the court’s eternal cycle of death and rebirth. His loyalty to the Eldest Oak and the Court of Blight is absolute, and he ensures that the court’s vision of inevitable decline remains uncompromised. Muskroot does not fear death—for he knows that in decay, life begins anew. He is not merely a servant of the court—he is its keeper, its watcher, and its silent, rotting heart.
