The Ferryman

The Ferryman, a haunting figure cloaked in a tattered robe, roams the eerie waterways of the Dreaming City. Once a mortal, he was cursed with immortality, his soul forever bound to the task of ferrying the lost and doomed to their final resting place. Chained to a small rowboat, he drifts silently along the murky rivers, his bony hands gripping the oars as he guides the wayward spirits to the domain of the Dreaming City. Whispers say that the Ferryman was a man of great ambition, who sought to cheat death, only to be ensnared by the very powers he tried to harness. Now, he is condemned to this eternal duty, a grim reaper tasked with delivering the departed to their final judgment. The Dreaming City, a realm of shadows and sorcery, bears witness to his endless vigil, as the Ferryman continues his solemn journey, forever bound to the river's embrace, and a vessel to Lich King.
