Squwal

Summary

Squwal is a god of weather, change, loss, and the lost. His connection to Dotharl’s father and grandfather, and to Bridged’s family, remains unresolved. Ruby Eye’s messages associate him with a request for “the loss of everything,” while his Brass City tower contained storm, vulture, eagle, and lost-object imagery.

Description

Squwal’s Brass City tower had cold plain echoing stone, a blackened or burnt wooden door, chalk drawings of storm, vulture, and eagle figures, carefully placed humble objects, symbolic vision rooms, a bottomless koi pond, and a glass-ceilinged top room with compass rose and weather decoration.
