Vothrog the Wise
A slug-man Heretic-Scholar of the Congregation of the Unwashed.
The player character.
Vothrog preaches that the divine spark resides in every body
regardless of species or caste — a protocommunist anabaptist tuned
to a setting of caste-locked god-emperors and opium-flooded slums.
He carries hand-copied pamphlets titled “The Slime-Lords Drink What
the Wretched Weep” and signs none of them.
