Witherus the Lost

Witherus "the Lost" Voidin (Withervoid) is a sage first appearing in Eldham on April 9th, 2022.

Origins
After wandering through harsh wilds, Witherus appeared on the icy shores beyond Uzhon, capital of the Scribe Dynasty of Zhon, amidst a great and terrible blizzard. He was taken in by the Warlord of Mushroomica, Misha Silvertongue (Stabbr8), who nursed the ragged man back to health and got him settled in Uzhon.

Over the coming weeks, the two became good friends, with Misha introducing Witherus to the customs and authority figures of Zhon. Witherus aided them in the preparations for the wedding at Mt. Moss Point, and in the renovations of outdated builds in Uzhon.

However, the more time he spent with his new friends, the more they discovered of his mysterious past. Witherus, like the Sovereign Scribe Nethy, had his memory wiped clean without compromising his knowledge. And great knowledge he had, especially of the ancient Runic language used in enchanting, and of the Scribist faith Nethy taught. But his views regarding them contrasted.

Scribe of Alceonus
Witherus claimed to also be a Scribe of the Deer, but not of Zhonus. Instead, chosen by Alceonus the Red, to test the waters before Alceonus attempts anything in Zhon. Alceonus is the neutral tiebreaker of the Three Great Deer, preferring logic and rules to a fault, rather than the morals of Zhonus and the "might makes right" ideals of Vircus. Witherus seems similar in views to his Deer, though leaning towards the moral side of the law. He seeks to build a great library in Uzhon, wherein all the lore from both Zhonus' and Vircus' followers is compiled. Without proper context– and you can never have enough, in Alceonus' opinion– how can one make a good decision?
