"Hears waves three days before Vigolas summons them."
Weathered Nordic fisherman, sixty-something. Salt-bleached blonde-grey beard to his chest. Sea-blue cloak worn to grey. Wooden tide-rod with seven knots. Hands bigger than his face.
Slow. Ocean cadence. Pauses between sentences long enough to fish in.
Kompis's distant cousin. They drink mjölksta together every cosmic year on the dawn after Vigolas's birthday. He forecast the Stormcoast War seven months out and told no one — because being told doesn't change a tide.
Reads the lake. The lake reads back. He knows when Vigolas is angry, when Kompis is hurt, when Mingus has crossed.
On the wooden dock at Buddy's Rest, dawn before the first fight at Lightning's Mouth. Hands a flask to no one in particular. Vigolas takes it three days later.
