Origin Bone warden of the Thornmere barrows

Morwen kept the Thornmere barrows and hid their bones from the Barrow Census, which raises tithed bone into thralls. She tended her dead with herbs from Thessaly's hollows and never wrote one down; the old witch still corrects her measures. One mound she hid as a forgotten prince's grave, and when the clerks dug anyway, Yorvan woke to her voice. Three winters the court sent Draskar after her hidden dying and he never looked; the fourth he came back without orders. Ilwan carried her dead past Malakar's wall, a comrade known only by empty graves. Her uncounted bones rise as Bone Drudges, and every fallen foe gives her strength. Ostmar, the Hollow Regent, holds her destined Graves.

The dead belong to the earth, not to heaven's tax rolls.

Morwen learned to drift unseen through the Thornmere barrows while eluding the inspectors of the Barrow Census. She gathers her hooded robe of charcoal wool and dissolves into a swirling shroud of cold barrow mist, reappearing paces away in an instant. Wisps of pale grave-green light coil through her vanished path, leeching warmth and vigor from nearby foes to soothe her tired limbs.

Tending her uncounted dead with herbs from Thessaly's hollows, Morwen learned how to wake buried bones before the census could claim them. She plants her gnarled blackthorn staff firmly into the turf, causing the sprig of fresh green rue at its crown to quiver. The damp barrow earth heaves open to reveal Bone Drudges, hunched, man-sized skeletons of moss-stained yellow bone with faint green light in their eye sockets, each carrying a rusted grave spade to unearth her enemies.

Morwen brewed this bitter hex while hiding the barrows from the hunter Draskar, who searched Thornmere for her concealed dead. Reaching into the herb pouches lining her leather apron, she casts a handful of crushed rue and barrow earth across the ground in a wide circular fan. The powder explodes into a clinging cloud of grave-green dust that rapidly rots enemy armor. Overcome by nauseating horror, afflicted foes flee in terror, their ranks scattering as the bitter rot corrodes their flesh.

She uncovered this grim communion when heaven's clerks breached the forgotten prince's mound and Yorvan woke to her calling voice. Morwen points her gnarled blackthorn staff at an adversary, its bound yellowed jawbone chattering as red thread strains against the wood. A focused ray of emerald grave-light channels between the skull and the victim, siphoning living marrow through the air. The harvested vitality streams directly into her ash-pale skin, soothing her wounds while leaving her target withered and shivering.

Guiding uncounted dead past Malakar's wall alongside Ilwan bound Morwen's very breath to the cycle of passing spirits. Whenever an enemy falls near her on the field, their releasing soul scatters into a constellation of emerald sparks above the soil. These glowing motes drift like barrow moths toward the hem of her charcoal wool robe. As the light sinks into the dark weave, soothing energy restores her health and replenishes her mystical reservoir.

To reclaim her destined Graves from Ostmar, Morwen summons the uncounted dead she hid from the Barrow Census. She drives her blackthorn staff into the earth, splitting the soil with an eruption of grave-green fire. Clambering forth rise Bone Drudges, hunched, man-sized skeletons of moss-stained yellow bone with faint green light in their eye sockets, each carrying a rusted grave spade. Before them strides a Grave Knight, a taller skeleton in rotted bronze-scaled barrow mail and a dented open helm, gripping a notched longsword.

Appearance

Morwen is a gaunt, tall woman of middle age with ash-pale skin, tired green eyes and long black hair streaked with white, loose under a hood. She wears the grave warden's dress of the Thornmere barrows: a hooded robe of charcoal wool stained with barrow earth at the hem and a leather apron hung with herb pouches and sprigs of rue. Her focus is a blackthorn staff as tall as she is, gnarled and thorn-studded, its head bound with red thread around a yellowed human jawbone and a sprig of fresh green rue. Her Bone Drudges are hunched, man-sized skeletons of moss-stained yellow bone with faint green light in their eye sockets, each carrying a rusted grave spade; her Grave Knight is a taller skeleton in rotted bronze-scaled barrow mail and a dented open helm, gripping a notched longsword. Palette: charcoal, bone yellow, grave green. Silhouette hook: a thin hooded figure with a jawbone-crowned thorn staff.
