Grust
Orr's apprentice who shaped a final bone bridge, sacrificing all to become the span.
Grust was Orr's dedicated apprentice, learning the ancient craft of reading stone directly at his master's side. Following Orr's death, Grust inherited this solemn duty, stepping into the role of stone-shaper for Book 11 as the forces marched toward the harvest's heart.
In a final act mirroring the legacy of its predecessor, Grust faced an impassable abyss during the journey. To ensure passage, it shaped a bridge from discarded dead bone, expending its entire existence to become the span itself. Like Orr before it, Grust was never resurrected and remains permanently dead.
