The Skurg

The Skurg— The Arbiter of fates

“To ask is to alter fate. To see is to be seen. To gain is to lose. The Skurg is not cruel, but it is never kind.”

🕯️ Revised Lore with Neutral Alignment: The Skurg is not a monster, not a demon, and not a god. It is an arbiter of consequence, bound to the folds between reality and reflection. Neither good nor evil, it exists to enforce balance through trade—granting desires, twisting fates, and feeding not on fear or suffering, but on choice.

When ten people seek it, only one walks away unchanged. The rest are altered—some granted gifts too heavy to bear, others cursed in ways that feel like mercy.

Its only rule: All things must be equal in cost.

Some say the Skurg doesn’t decide the price. It merely reveals what was already owed.
