Description
Ally and enemy, he claims the fungal forest by divine right, but the fungal foresters do not fully obey him. Lord Parmes holds effective rule of the cavern.
History
He sent the Seekers, escorted by a mephit, to recover a lady’s head. They found Deino (Lady Bella Penélope) and her beastmen, and the Valumani (Varumani) ambassadors: blue-white troll, armor, sword. They then killed him and took a cursed necklace that grants rule over the cavern’s fungal life. It cursed Sir Sixto, and was later auctioned at the Forum of Set.
Open questions
- Is he truly Ptarmis? Are the beastmen his allies or subordinates? Will he return?
