Shrivelfist – The Barkbound Oathbreaker

Shrivelfist – The Barkbound Oathbreaker
Harvested by Malice Manifested, the ritual wing of Twisted Goblin Armouries
Once the grasping hand of a forest warlock who broke pact with the Manifested, Shrivelfist was ritually severed, petrified, and cursed to remain eternally upright—forever reaching for power it will never reclaim. Its bark-bound fingers twitch on moonless nights, and the insects nesting in its knuckles whisper forgotten incantations to those who dare listen.
Malice Manifested keeps it sealed in glass not for preservation, but containment. The moss at its base feeds on remorse. The hand itself? Still remembers the spell that got it banished.
Classification: Shrunken relic of magical betrayal  
Recommended Placement: Near wards, away from mirrors, never in pairs
