Mort
A bronze skull bolted to a tomb door who will not stop talking — half comic relief, half the exposition engine for the entire Wyrdkey plot.
Mort — the sentient door-knocker on Elena and Gavin's tomb, forged by Brannon from a witch's metal, and running on magic far too old to switch off.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
