Palace Skelm
This fiend eavesdrops on conversations to slip in false words, framing an innocent speaker for threats a third party swears they heard.
A palace skelm is a courtly fiend that thrives on intrigue, poisoning trust with a whispered word and turning allies against one another before a blow is ever struck.
