Drusilla Cypresswraith
the Emberwrought Countess
Drusilla from the dewdrop that catches the first hearth light; Cypresswraith, the ghost of a tree that remembers every fire it fed.
Power
You can pull the dying warmth from a cold room into a single ember—a memory that burns in your palm—but it leaves you numb to any new flame for a fortnight.
- Familiar
- A charred-scaled newt named Ember, which basks in your shadow and hisses when a lie passes your lips.
- Bloodline
- House Cypresswraith
The Cypress Grove of Tanagra asked the price of its shelter: your name, spoken backward into a pyre. You gave it, and the flames wrote a new one on your skin. Now the grove is your memory-keeper, and every time you return, a cypress grows taller by the length of your shadow.
