Morev
The Binding Sorcerer
He walked the bank for three days. He placed four stones in the riverbed. He spoke the terms. The woman repeated them. The river took her.
Biography
The sorcerer who bound Fen to the Siverna. He came from Dolinvast, the eastern valleys, where such traditions survived longer than anywhere else. He arrived on Berezov land and walked the bank for three days, measuring, marking positions, placing granite stones cut from the mountain quarry above the gorge.
He spoke the terms at the water's edge. Fen stood in the shallows and repeated them. Her voice sealed what his words alone could not.
He told the Berezov ancestor it would be temporary.
He called the binding a branch. The roots, he said, were elsewhere.
Appearance
Tall. Thin. He moved his hands when he spoke, each finger separate, as though conducting them. His voice came in pieces. He would start a sentence and pause, listening to something only he could hear, then finish it differently from how it began.
Personality
Known only through Fen's memory and the ancestor's journal.
Abilities
Sorcery of the eastern lowlands tradition. He designed and performed the binding that held Fen in the Siverna for over two centuries. The nature of his craft is not fully understood.
Key Facts
•The Berezov ancestor's journal records his work in scattered fragments between crop tallies and estate records, as though the sorcerer was something he could only think about in pieces.
