Mordecai Yarrowbourne
the Ash-Sceptre Warlock
Named for the little teacher who walked the yarrow-lined bourne and learned to seal embers in clay.
Power
You press cooled ash into living stone, tracing veins of ember that glow when the holder commands—gilded petitions, not spells.
- Familiar
- a badger named Clod
- Coven
- Ash-Sceptre
You are pressing a thumbprint into the ash of a dead fire, shaping the residue into a seal. The ground beneath you trembles with the memory of stone, and Clod grunts from the shadows as the first ember wakes.
Where the name comes from
Mordecai — an old name, “warrior”.
Yarrowbourne — Yarrow (yarrow, the wound-herb) + bourne (stream).
