👑 CROWNED HORROR — KEEPER OF A WOUND

Briarling

THE WILDS

The royal gardens went feral when their gardener did. Briarlings are the Verdant Regent's cuttings — hedge-shapes that pulled free of the fallen terraces and took up the pruning themselves, swarming the Overgrowth in thorned packs. Each carries a bud of the Regent's living briar crown. They do not hate trespassers; they weed them, with the tireless, loving thoroughness of three hundred seasons' devotion to a grave.
