THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Ghazi

also known as The Glass Wizard, The Mad Dune Mage

First seen: Book 4, Chapter 16

Confirmed in person as the Mad Dune Mage: a level-43 Human Glass Mage from Larracos College of Magecraft, an unkempt, overweight man in his twenties found watching television in a bathrobe. Actually sought the Gate of the Feral Gods for controlled access to the Nothing, hoping to bargain with a banished god for power to make the fictional Lika real; the entity he summoned instead, Psamathe, tricked him. Now trapped in his own transmuted castle, guarded and consumed daily by a sand ooze that believes itself his wife, cursed with the knowledge of what he unleashed and too much of a coward to use the winding box to fix it himself.
