PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What to know
Zhu Baojing represents the Boar’s roots, buried gates and hunger for what history has concealed. The sign gives extraordinary contact with depth and origin, not a guarantee that every excavation is wise.
The deepest door may lead to a cost that cannot be put back underground.
Zhu Baojing is a useful guide to the difference between finding something buried and having the right to open it. The Boar's passages and gates point toward what has been hidden; its appetite for power warns that uncovering the past can become a form of hunger. Read Zhu's file beside the Root Vaults map entry for the difference between the person linked to the Seal and the physical location associated with it.
