Carsulism And Carsul In Modern Fantasia

[Frisk Bloodbun 7]

Carsul, often referred to as the *Shadow of Trader and Barter*, is a mysterious and feared figure in both myth and belief. Revered as a near-deity by the followers of Carsulism, his legend is one of cunning deals and painful sacrifices. Carsul’s influence lies not in the simple exchange of goods but in extracting what is most precious to an individual in return for fulfilling their deepest desires. His infamous saying, "*I don't take things I want or need; I take things that mean everything to them or at least something that would cause consequences,*" exemplifies his enigmatic approach to negotiation. 

Carsul never directly seeks what he covets but instead causes his victims to relinquish what is closest to their hearts. He offers a grim promise—one may gain what they desire, but only at the steep price of sacrificing what they hold dearest. His immense, ever-present shadow is his tool of both protection and destruction, capable of consuming the will or even the lives of those who fall under his sway. 

Within the faith of Carsulism, Carsul is venerated as a god-like being whose followers believe in the power of loss and gain as essential forces of the universe. They hold that by offering the most significant parts of themselves, they may be granted divine favor or guidance. To his adherents, Carsul’s shadow is a symbol of fate, always looming large, reminding them that every desire comes with a consequence, and that nothing is ever truly given without a cost.

Sarah was one such unfortunate soul who fell victim to Carsul's cruel manipulation. Her story serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of dealing with him. While the specifics of her fate remain a mystery, her name is often evoked in cautionary tales as a symbol of the immense suffering caused by Carsul's trades.
