Awarded Entity Number - JJ1261-SHFP

Chosen 9th of October, in the Year of Quiet Hauntings.

Placed into the Kingdom of Sweden.

Porridge is a handmade collectible Samhain Harbinger Familiar figurine created by The Nordic Ghost Merchants in Denmark, inspired by old Scandinavian folklore, autumn omens, and the Familiars recorded throughout Merchant accounts.

The Familiars do not belong to the guild. Not exactly.

They were never apprenticed, never sworn in, never given a merchant's mark. They simply... arrived. As cats do. And having arrived, they stayed. As cats do. They learned the rhythms of the guild; the long hours, the careful work, the particular silence of a room where old things are being recorded. And they decided this was acceptable.

They are not catalogued in the Merchant's Ledger.

They are aware of this. They have opinions about it that they have chosen not to share.

The Samhain Harbinger Familiars are most often recorded during the weeks when autumn begins to lean toward winter. Their arrival is noted around dusk, after rain, and wherever the last orange light gathers low against the ground. Whether they travel with the Harbingers or simply appear at the same time each year remains unresolved

Porridge is most often recorded in warm rooms during the colder weeks of autumn, particularly near kitchens, fireplaces and anywhere someone has recently put down a blanket.

He appears to have no particular duty.

Merchant notes describe long periods in which Porridge simply sits in one place, looking at absolutely nothing.

Attempts to determine whether he is listening, waiting, observing or thinking have produced no useful conclusions.

One Chronicler eventually recorded:

“Porridge seems content.”

No further investigation was considered necessary.

Porridge the ghost cat figurine stands at 5 cm in height.
