A mysterious doctor-turned-hermit who resides in a swampy deathtrap of a domain, Dee combines her natural spore magic with her medical expertise into an incredibly effective one-stop shop for all the medicines or poisons you'll ever need. Though she's always careful to be polite to any stranger who may set up camp at one of the designated areas outside her private domain, this stygian has a tendency to outright ignore any potential patient at her doorstep who forgoes travelling to one of the proper outposts interspersed at the edge of her territory in lieu of trying to break in. Why?
Well, simple answer to a simple question (as she would call it): people who refuse to behave with propriety and pay attention to proper procedure didn't deserve her attention, reputation be damned.
Notably, the only exception to her zealous rule-following here are 'unusual or exceptionally severe cases', whereupon she'll send her foxfires to mark a narrow path for these individuals to take to her sanctum.
She has many foxfires, and little patience to name them individually, so they're all named Conk.
Rumour mill:
- Allegedly, Dee was behind two major phenomena in the past: a huge storm of spores that flooded multiple domains and granted instant healing and a temporary power boost to all who inhaled it, stygian and figment alike, and the subsequent infection that condemned all the victims of the previous storm to dream madness and temporary separation from the Sleeping Tree.
