Gerurt

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Gerurt is the mother of Finart, a harbour worker of the small town of Osterhn, in the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign. When her son organised the dockers against Jasper, she was cut off from her medicine; ill, she lay alone in her house on the harbour side of the river, since Finart was not allowed across the bridge. The innkeeper Exalon asked the newcomers to take her the medicine.12

Life

Her son remembered her as a woman loved in the neighbourhood, to whom people came when their heads ached, and who sang at sowing time. She knew the wild herbs and fruits, made bread and yoghurt from goat's milk, and did not eat meat because it upset her stomach.34

Every so often she gave Finart a grey mush, telling him it would keep him strong and calm; Exalon said she prepared it for him regularly. She bought regularly from the hunter twins Altonn and Beltorn, who said she had them gather mountain thyme and another herb whose name they did not know. Poor as she was, she also went to see the town's doctor from time to time.5678910

The doctor said that herbs alone could not make her remedy: she obtained blood from him, paying not in money but by telling him where various things could be found, and she had missed her monthly visit. Her household also held an ornate mortar which Exalon said was made of a magical wood. From her knowledge of herbs, her healing visits and her refusal of meat, Ephorus guessed that she worked the magic of nature.11121314
