Drainage Specialist / Laborer — second generation, age 23
Stubborn and physically imposing, Joris has a deep, intuitive knowledge of the Mire and the underlying silt flow. He is wary of established authority, treating the Keep’s structures with cautious curiosity.
He was born in the deep, low-lying dwellings and spent his youth navigating the under-planks, making him uniquely adept at detecting structural weaknesses. He learns his craft through necessity, often ignoring the council's official procedures.
He has recently discovered an unstable, secondary flow path beneath the settlement that could redirect water pressure onto the main foundations.
