Mason of High House Death

Mason of High House Death

 

Fiddler  in GotM

Thordy in TtH

Hedge in DoD

 

A minor card in High House Death.

 


 

Her eyes drawn to the first card she had placed, at the spiral's very beginning. The Mason of High House Death held a minor position among the overall rankings, but now the figure etched on the wood seemed to have risen to an eminent placing. Brother to the Soldier of the same House, the Mason's image was that of a lean, graying man clothed in faded leathers. His massive, vein-roped hands held stone-cutting tools, and around him rose roughly dressed menhirs. Tattersail found she could make out faint glyphs on the stones, a language unfamiliar to her but reminiscent of Seven Cities' script. In the House of Death the Mason was the builder of barrows, the placer of stones, a promise of death not to one or a few but to many. The language on the menhirs delivered a message not intended for her: the Mason had carved those words for himself, and time had worn the edges - even the man himself appeared starkly weathered, his face latticed with cracks, his silvered beard thin and tangled. The role had been assumed by a man who'd once worked in stone, but no longer. - (GotM, US HC, p.115)

 

"'Mason of Death.' Hedge bleated and made the mistake of turning around. The card struck his back and hammered him face first into the wall, whereupon the card began pushing him upward, leaving a red streak below the unconscious man." - (DoD, US mmpb, p.170)

 

Becoming, for a time, the mason of the Lord of the Slain, entailed a fearsome responsibility.  But she hadn't seen a single bent copper for her troubles. - Thordy (TtH)

This position was held by Fiddler in GotM - so I've added him in. Remember, these positions are not fixed :)

No, they're not fixed but do we want to state everyone we know who has held the position? Cause that was done in the Deck of Dragons Project.

I don't know what Deck of Dragons Project you are referring to? - this is the Deck of Dragons on this wiki and anyone who has held a position in a house has a relevance.

Go to the search and type in 'the deck of'(don't press search) and it should be the second option.

Oh sure - that page - it was created by my partner and wiki co-creator - who also is involved with SE and Cam on the Deck of Dragons project.
Regardless the card pages should reflect who has held the position and not just who is in the position currently.

Ok, well in that scenario shouldn't Thordy be credited? And didn't Whiskyjack also hold or share the title? In any case I guess I'll see what else needs changing if we're working like that.
