Status: Alive
Encountered: Entry 14 Location: Displaced Camp (Housekeeper’s Quarters)
Marjorie is an elderly gnome woman who serves as a housekeeper within the Displaced Camp. Despite her unassuming role, she holds significant wisdom and a surprising connection to Temerity’s past.
Overview
We encountered Marjorie while staying in the Displaced Camp. She appears as a tiny, elderly gnome - standing only as high as Temerity’s crotch - often seen dragging a huge broom behind her. She lives in a small, cosy house within the cavern, decorated with window boxes and bunting.
She is strict but motherly, refusing to clean Temerity’s room until he put on underwear and forcing him to help scrub the walls.
Key Interactions
Connection to Temerity
While cleaning Temerity’s room, the two hummed a song together that Temerity had known since childhood. Marjorie revealed that she knew his mother well from their time as friends in a “big city many years ago”.
- True Name: She addressed Temerity by his birth name, Morthos.
- The Photograph: She invited Temerity to her home for tea and gifted him a photo from a gilded album. The image depicted Temerity’s parents, Marjorie, and her husband.
Counsel to Theren
Marjorie interrupted Theren while he was reading to clean his room. They discussed magic and friendship. When Theren expressed conflict about joining The Displaced and leaving his party, she offered him sage advice:
- She explained that friends playing pranks is often a way of showing care.
- She reminded him that “no decision is fixed in stone,” helping him realize he could change his mind about leaving his companions.
