Lady Thyme

Supporting
First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 7

Heavy scents of perfume war with mildew and age in her stuffy chamber, her gaunt frame sharp-eyed beneath the haze. There's a withered elegance in her voice, cutting through the fetid air like a hidden thorn. You feel the weight of years pressing her into the bed, unbowed and watchful.

Lady Thyme lurks as an elderly, bedridden noblewoman in a malodorous chamber redolent of dust, urine, mildew, and cloying perfume, her gaunt form a fixture during Fitz's mountain visit. Allied loosely with King Eyod's court, she dispenses tart counsel amid intrigues involving Rurisk and Blue Lake tensions. Her supporting role underscores the web of aged nobility influencing fragile diplomacy, mentioned later as politics shift against the Forged peril.
