Interloper, The

The Interloper is a well known figure in Bog mythology, a being which does not belong. The genesis of this legend is a phenomenon known as “The Aspect”.

The Aspect is a silhouette of a humanoid figure. This figure appears almost everywhere, but most predominantly within The Bog or its Areas of Influence. The Aspect can be seen as an outline in the leaves of a tree canopy, within overlapping shadows, in the contrast of stones on a river bank–it shows up anywhere and everywhere and disappears in the blink of an eye.

The Drub scrolls offer little more than speculation on the nature of the interloper. Drub remarks that,

''“In nature, even in The Bog, patterns represent elementary order at the most rudimentary level of existence. The Interloper is a piece of something fundamental, something primordial in the universe.”''
