Cortinarius

Role in Story:	Grumpy old seer who lives in the mountains.

Physical Description:	Bald with a grizzled white beard which hangs nearly to his knees, bushy eyebrows, brown robes. Beady grey eyes and gap teeth.

Personality:	Cortinarius is terminally grumpy, he seems to like to make people miserable and is offended when they aren’t discouraged by his prophesies.

Background:	He is a strangely ageless being like Amanita, but gleans sadistic pleasure (and perhaps life force) from delivering predictions of despair, and chaos in general. Cortin lives in a cave in the mountains near Arborlisle.

Notes:	Cortinarius is the genus of a poisonous mushroom, just like Amanita.
