The Mother

Summary

The Mother was a Carnamancy-linked antagonist who transformed the life prison into flesh, siphoned Limusvita, repurposed Envi’s clone, and died during the Baytail Accord crisis.

Known Details

• The life prison had become flesh, eyes, veins, and other organic features, possibly through high-level Carnamancy by The Mother.
• The Mother tried to absorb Limusvita but could not contain him; he was holding on to keep the Barrier up while she siphoned energy through a copper pipe.
• At Baytail Accord, a horrible boob-covered form appeared and was apparently The Mother.
• After The Mother died, Geldrin found a spellbook on her with the same cipher and spells as Envi’s.
• The Mother had somehow repurposed Envi’s clone, which seemed impossible under the party’s understanding of clone magic.
• Dunensend later distinguished local Mother figures from The Mother, whose stolen power was linked to Ennui and the ban on spell writing.
• Day 32 skull visions showed The Mother crater, a small town described as the place he fell, and a small halfling girl sitting at a table seeing dogs together.
