Lore & Background
Pisces is a complex and often controversial figure—a brilliant but socially awkward [Necromancer] who struggles with the stigma of his craft. His journey from a lone outcast to a valued member of the Horns of Hammerad is a key narrative thread, marked by personal growth, moral dilemmas, and powerful magical feats. He is not a background element of cosmology but an active participant in the story's events.
Reader's Guide
Pisces is not a character you will meet at the Inn or on the road. Instead, it represents a facet of the world's magical cosmology. In terms of role, it exists as part of the background lore regarding celestial influence. Its 'arc' is static; it does not grow or change like Erin or Ryoka. It serves to ground the magic system in recognizable fantasy tropes while maintaining mystery. Defining moments are scarce because it lacks agency. Any mention is usually incidental, serving to highlight a character's knowledge of the world rather than advancing a plot.
