The Patchwork Man

What you call a cycle, I call a trap. Oh - a trap for me? No, that's not how your cycle works.

The Patchwork Man is an extremely tall thin monster covered in a large sheet made of various stolen Textiles (a piece of a cotton kids blanket, a major part of a royal tapestry, various faces from a stitched skin suit, etc...). Normally this creature is passive, simply sending its servants or heading out itself to steal more Textiles to add to its sheet that hides it grotesque form but on occasion it kidnaps a person of importance, who is never seen again.

Above all else, the Patchwork Man is a collector. He collects specifically the rare and the personally irreplaceable. The more coveted or treasured something or someone is to someone else, the more likely he is to seek it. These are his trophies to showcase how takes what others value, and he never lets something he has go. Why does he gather these things? There seems to be no way to know, but what is certain is that the Patchwork Man cares not at all for mortal sentiment or such banal ideas as compassion. In that respect he stands in dangerous opposition to gods such as Tarveldin and Ohmic as he also is an unpredicatable agent of change, but with no moral compass.

Worshippers

Apart from some strange people who worship The Patchwork Man in their own way, most of its servants are normal people who are placed into illusionary worlds by The Patchwork Man: they believe they are going about their day as normal, but in reality they are doing whatever the Patchwork Man needs them to do.
