Iskaral Pust

Magi of Shadow

Dal Honese High Priest of the Tesem Temple of Shadow,

Widely regarded as a madman, not only for his unnerving habit of seeming to vocalize his entire internal monologue but also due to the track, or lack thereof, of his thoughts thus revealed. Mogora, D'ivers spiders and a Witch, also Dal Honese, is his wife.

'...a man on a black mule appeared. He sat cross-legged on a high wood saddle, shrouded in a ragged, dirt-stained telaba. His hands, which rested on the ornate saddlehorn, were the colour of rust...His hood fell back, revealing a large hawk nose, tufts of wiry grey beard, a tattooed bald pate and skin like dark honey. A row of perfect white teeth showed in his grimace' (DG, UK MMPB, p.109-10)

Fiddler: 'He's (Iskaral Pust) an avatar of Shadowthrone...Or the Rope, Cotillion, the Patron of Assassins - there's little difference between the two.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.345-6)

Mappo on Pust's surgical skill: 'he (Pust) actually did surgery on your (Fiddler's) ankle...Essentially, the High Priest rebuilt your ankle...the High Priest contrived to drain your lung of blood, then made you breathe a healing vapour.' (DG, UK MMPB, p.346)

'...a wizened black face...'(DG, UK MMPB, p.342)

'...his spiral wisps of hair...'(DG, UK MMPB, p.344)

Spite to Pust : "The services of the Magi of Shadow are no longer required.” (BH UKTpb, p.517)
