Alby Ashthorn
the Sootmote Warlock
Born of ash-dusted soil and the first stubborn seed to sprout after fire.
Power
Ember-gardening — you coax plants from the warmest cracks of cooling hearths, each leaf smelling of smoke.

You are whistling, brushing ash from a mushroom that's too warm to touch, when the mushroom opens its eye. You don't stop whistling; that would be rude. The eye blinks and the ground answers: a root, a spark, a name that fits your mouth like clover.
Where the name comes from
Ashthorn — Ash + thorn (thorn-thicket).
