Barnaby Blackwyld
the Shadowbone Warlock
The Blackwyld is the shadow that clings to bone, and Barnaby is the one who carries it.
Power
Bone-marrow sight — you look into the core of a thing and see the shadow of its ending, then use that shadow to bend the living.
- Familiar
- A blind mole named Deep
- Coven
- Bone-Deep
You keep a single knucklebone, worn smooth from years of worry. It was never your own — it came from a beast you tracked for three nights through the Blackwyld forest. When you finally caught it, it wasn't a beast at all, but a mess of shadow and splinters. You took the bone as a promise: something always ends, but you'll remember what it was.
Where the name comes from
Blackwyld — Black (dark) + wyld (wildwood).
