Priestly is a former author of the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook, known to readers only through his fragmented entries. In The Eye of the Bedlam Bride he appears as a conscripted crawler in the final days of the Faction Wars, terrified and slipping mentally as the Skull Empire and the orcs devastate everyone caught in the conflict, clinging to the mantra "stab, stab, stab" and hoping music might meet him at the end. In This Inevitable Ruin his story deepens: his love for the city of Larracos and its food made its fall unbearable, and the surviving notes suggest grief drove him into madness. He leaves behind a furious, wounded voice that lingers in the cookbook long after him.
Description
The text does not provide a physical description of Priestly: his age, build, coloring, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are all unspecified. His written account conveys a terrified, strained presence, but no visible features are established. A faithful portrait should leave his appearance open rather than inventing details. Priestly’s appearance is not described. No reliable details are given about his age, build, skin, hair, eyes, face, clothing, or distinguishing features; a visual depiction should leave these unspecified.
