Silt

What the party knows

Unchained slave navigator on the silt skimmer. Quiet, competent, and deeply professional. Has navigated the Sea of Silt for over forty years.

Appearance

Old and weathered, skin like cracked leather from decades under the Athasian sun. White-stubbled jaw, milky film over one eye that doesn’t seem to affect his reading of the silt. Moves slowly but deliberately. Wears a faded navigator’s sash — the only mark of his privileged status. Speaks in short, flat sentences, when he speaks at all.

Personality / Mannerisms

Quiet. Competent. Deeply, professionally neutral. He does not celebrate the revolt, but he did not stop it either. He is watching the party now the way he watches the horizon — looking for which way this is going to go.

Last seen / Current status

After the revolt, Silt remained at the wheel of the captured skimmer as the party steered it toward Silt Side. Before docking, the party left him with the other escaped prisoners at the edge of the silt basin beside the wrecked skimmer. They salvaged what they could to survive; Silt’s fate since then is unknown.
