YTHARA · THE FROST FOX

THE WORLD THAT ROTS — collection

In the north, where the green rain arrives already turned to sleet, the miasma freezes and loses its poison. What is left is a blue frost that shines at night and that the muleteers call the salt of the sky. Crossing the northern passes without a guide is death by cold or by thirst. With a guide it is only death by cold.

Ythara is the guide.

WHO SHE IS

She is not entirely human. She is a frost fox: blue hair with pink streaks, feathered ears, a snow tail, and blue hands with claws that cut ice like bread. She eats the frozen rot — the bodies the miasma could not finish — and does not get sick.

The Free Marches hire her by the season. She takes payment in salt, in iron, and in stories that are not true. She has walked the passes for companies that had never seen snow, and she has walked back alone.

Everything she wears she took off somebody who did not come back. She does not hide that. She thinks it would be rude to pretend otherwise.

WHAT SHE WANTS, AND WHAT SHE FEARS

• What she wants: for the caravan to arrive. Nothing else. She is paid by the trip, not by the soul.

• What she fears: the thaw. If the miasma stops freezing in the north, her home dies and she dies with it.

• How she sounds: light, quick and slightly amused, with the flat certainty of something that has eaten people before.

"Step where I step. If it creaks, it is not ice — it is somebody who went first."

She is the one who gets you through the pass, and the one who decides what to do when the ice creaks. If you want her in a scene with a company, a wagon or a frozen thing under the snow — tell me. The north has room for all of it.

Enjoy! ^^
