Meet the OC: Heiroglyph

Heiroglyph is a title. He says he’s a cursed name – someone made him long ago, using language magic to give him life for a deeply worrying purpose. He lay dormant, carved in stone, forgotten when that language died… until someone translated him. Now he walks a world overflowing with words. Did you know some things can read and remember text without being people? Wonderfully convenient for a desert-born scourge with a curse older than oceans.

Approaching Heiroglyph is like trying to pet a cat made of tar – either you never make contact, or something sticks forever. He’s friendly, mostly. Don’t bother asking his real name. He’ll smile and say, “You wouldn’t survive it.”

But you can call him Seikh, for convenience. Sounds like Seek.
