Zarrem

"'The Seed of Syphon? I thought I plucked the last weed from his wretched line...' - Zarrem upon meeting Xilo Anakiir"Zarrem, sometimes referred to as the Plaguebearer, is the chieftain of the Savu Krek druid tribe in Incertus, which translates to Tribe of the Scornful Wake in common.

The party briefly encountered Zarrem while investigating a hydra attack in the Evermurk swamplands of Incertus. Upon reaching the lair of the hydra, the party witnessed Zarrem and a group of hags finishing the final components of a ritual on the multi-headed beast. Laying eyes upon the young half-elf, Xilo Anakiir, Zarrem knew that the druid in training was of Syphon's lineage.

The two debated the ethics of the natural order of things, during which Zarrem chided the young Anakiir for subverting the cycle. He claimed that the line of Syphon preaches the law of the circle of life, but refuses to accept that eventually there is death at the end of all things so that new life may be birthed. Eventually revealing himself to be the one who slayed Xilo's father, Viron, Zarrem resolved to settle the matter another day and departed through a tree in Nekkun's lair which instantly withered away.
