Orin Nettlemere
the Stinghowl Warlock
Named for the song that rises from the stinging mere — a music older than rain.
Power
Storm-threading — you pull the melody from a thunderclap and stitch it into the air, so the storm sings instead of breaks.
- Familiar
- a salt-marsh goat named Nettlehorn
- Coven
- Chordmere
No, you said, when they asked for the storm's lullaby. The price of that refusal was silence — three years without a word from the sky. But the nettles grew thick around your door, and the mere began to hum at dusk, and you learned that a song withheld can become a promise.
Where the name comes from
