Character Background

Fah Trah was birthed from alchemical wastes recklessly dumped in the Forest Reserve. He would have been killed on sight if it weren’t for then Spells-Sargeant (now Spells-Commander) LayTrayin Chasingfire discovering that he is sapient. Laytrayin lead him to the Back Alley where he gained mass by feeding on the refuse of the common rabble. Then he infiltrated the sewers. It was then that he discovered his true calling as a follower of Our Lady of Filth, also known as the Unnamed Goddess of the Elemental Plane of Filth. He began targeting undead as trash, then was nearly incinerated in the sewers by an insane vampire dwarf.

Eventually people from the Mage Guild studied him and determined he’d be useful as a waste management strategy for the city. Fah Trah thus was given a plot of land for a waste dump. He now spends his time building a trash cathedral - otherwise known as the Santuary of Our Lady of Filth.

Every night, pieces of Fah Trah are sent into the city to collect waste, which is brought back to his dump. These pieces of him function more like golems with a limited set of functions, though they’re still very much a part of the trash elemental. The Trash Collectors have a humanoid shape, albeit of a lumpy quality, and often wear tattered clothing to disguise their appearance for the sake of Dracheans. Their stench is undeniable despite their attempts to mask their nature. People can and do start altercations with Trash Collectors, but the weak things disintegrate easily. Later on, another Trash Collecter will pick up the pieces of his brethren and return to the Fah Trah’s dump.

Physical Description

Fah Trah’s shape is amorphous, but to get by in the city he’s taken on a basic humanoid figure. He’s not skilled at altering his appearance however, and still looks sludgy no matter what he does. Initially he used dead vermin’s rotten eyes for crude vision, but he now sees in a form of blindsight that detects energy, decay, and entropy. He feeds on the energy and minerals contained within decaying/discarded materials.

As a trash elemental, Fah Trah has a pungent odor that's mixed with noxious gasses that can become overwhelming to others’ senses.

Talents, Skills, Quirks

Fah Trah has a knack for sorting trash from not trash. To him, undead are trash, akin to any other dead carcass he might come across that needs decomposing.

Other Information

Fah Trah is the Waste Management official of Transdariania. He carries a fancy corrosion-proof metal badge to prove it.

Fah Trah's temperament after declaring his devotion to Our Lady of Filth became less angry, more passionate and focused. He'll often try to proselytize about Our Lady of Filth to those who wander into his dump to pick trash.

Citizens of Transdariania can directly bring residential or commercial refuse to Fah Trah's dump. However, if during his sorting Fah Trah finds things in a citizen's offering that he determines are not trash, the trash elemental will became irate.
