Description

History

As with most Gods-From-Nowhere, little is understood of the Briarsalt and it's history. What is known is that when Mother Songbird fell into Nowhere, it was the Briarsalt which kept her there, encrusted with salt, beneath thorn and blossom.

Appearance

The Briarsalt is the rose and the thorn and the drowning doldrums. It is the tide that does not stop rising, flooding all and holding it forever below the surface of the sea.

Principles

The Briarsalt is it's own principle, perhaps best understood as everything which Forge is not - wet, cold, organic, growing, and stagnant.
