The Bone Carver

Character from acotar-thorns-and-roses by

An ancient, imprisoned being older than the courts themselves, who carves bone into art and remembers the beginning of all things.

The Bone Carver is a solitary, enigmatic figure who dwells in a hidden cell deep within the Prison, where he spends his endless years carving intricate figures from bone. He is a keeper of ancient secrets, possessing knowledge of the Cauldron, the Dread Trove, and the true history of Prythian, but he offers his truths only in exchange for something of equal value.

Appearance

He appears as a pale, gaunt faerie with hollow cheeks and long, delicate fingers stained with the dust of old bones. His eyes are the color of dry marrow, and his voice is a whisper that seems to come from far away, as if echoing through a cave of skulls.

Also known as: The Bone Carver, the carver of bone, the one who remembers, the prisoner of the deep
