Velzari Thulak

Velzari Thulak wears a soot-dark robe pinned with cracked copper rings, sleeves singed short where they keep grabbing for spells. Their skin burns a steady brick-red; when they breathe, the air around their mouth tastes of chimney smoke. Charcoal hair licks upward in ember-red strands, and their eyes glow through smudged ash like coals under a hearth. They barter spells for leverage—thumb tapping ash into the same pattern on every page of a stolen grimoire.
