The Tithe-Collector

The Tithe-Collector portrait

A stooped clerk of the threshold who levies a toll on every soul that would pass — it takes its due from your strength before it will let you strike, and takes it again the moment you recover. Storm-front banked against the sky is taxed first (Storm Eater 1).
