The Stonewright Ghost Figurine - Knud

Awarded Entity Number - AK1191-TSK

Chosen 27th of August, in the Year of Quiet Hauntings.

Placed into the New World.

Old Guild records speak of pale spirits found close to buildings that have stood longer than anyone remembers.

They favour limewashed walls, old foundations and stones worn smooth by generations of hands. Their markings resemble the fine fractures found in ageing plaster and masonry; the quiet evidence of winters endured, timbers settling and houses refusing to fall.

Stonewrights are not believed to cause these cracks. Rather, old accounts suggest they appear wherever something has been repaired many times and is still expected to endure.

For this reason, they have long been regarded by some Merchants as spirits of persistence, repair and the stubborn survival of old places.

They are most often found sitting silently beside walls.

Whether they are inspecting the workmanship remains undocumented.

Knud is most often recorded in houses where old plaster has been repaired so many times that no one remembers which layer came first.

He is particularly drawn to walls bearing the marks of former doorways, blocked windows and rooms altered by generations of occupants.

The Guild believes Knud considers alteration no insult to a building.

Only abandonment.

Knud the ghost figurine measures almost 9 cm in height.

These ghosts have a deliberately cracked and chipped outer layer.
