Shvub-Mah

Identity

  • **Name:** Shvub-Mah
  • **Gender:** Male
  • **Class:** Fighter
  • **Tribe origin:** Licktoad
  • **Player:** Eric

Physical & Personality

Shvub-Mah is introduced at the whelping cage as someone already measuring the distance to the latch — an immediate expression of his fighter's spatial awareness and escape-oriented thinking. The spider encounter in Brinestump Marsh noted his acrobatics as impressive. He has a connection to a ruin above Habe's Sanatorium on Ashen Rise — the campaign account treats this as his place, the closest thing to home he has in the world. He lingered on Habe's Sanatorium as the party passed; this is the one moment where his attention diverged from the group's direction.

Role in Campaign Events

  • Present at the whelping cage opening, measuring the latch.
  • Acrobatics during the Lotslegs encounter in Brinestump Marsh were notable.
  • Present through the Kaijitsu Star, Vorka's death, and all Licktoad village events.
  • Squealy Nord recovery, second ship expedition, and the skeleton-clearing of the destroyed village.
  • The ruin above Habe's Sanatorium on Ashen Rise is associated with Shvub-Mah specifically — the party rested there.
  • His eyes lingered on Habe's Sanatorium as the party passed it on the road north. He did not enter.
  • Present through Birdcruncher territory, Manschmied Farm, the mountain cave, and all Thistletop operations.
  • Thistletop interior: the climbing encounter that required navigating around or over a human-orc figure was resolved in the party's favor.
  • Present at the Temple of Lamashtu — the last recorded encounter.

Status at End of Known Account

Active. Present at the Temple of Lamashtu — the last recorded encounter. Fate beyond that point is TBD.

Notes

  • "Shvub-Mah's ruin" is a canon location name for the crumbling structure above Habe's Sanatorium on Ashen Rise. See `lore/locations/ashen-rise.md`.
  • The ruin is either a GM-created location or a player-named place; it does not appear in any extracted module. Status: confirmed campaign canon.
  • The human-orc figure at the climbing encounter inside Thistletop is unidentified from available sources. _(provisional — unresolved NPC identity)_
