Mycelia

Marnie Rootbarrel, known as Mycelia, is a halfling spore druid and guardian of the Glow Pools, where broken bodies, strange fungi, and arcane corruption all find their way into the soil. Once a quiet naturalist and beet farmer with Barney Rootbarrel, she became a protector after the Battle of VQU left mutation and Boost contamination spreading through the region. At Medusa’s Farm, Marnie heals what she can, shelters Meadowkin survivors, and uses fungal magic to sense, cleanse, and resist corruption. Calm, slow-spoken, and immovable when threatened, she proves restoration is not gentle work. Sometimes healing has teeth.

In Act 5 Root Barrel Farm continuity, Marnie Rootbarrel and Barney Rootbarrel’s prior farm/brewery history remains relevant to the area’s current dragonborn labor/refugee setup, medusa-petrification road hazards, and suspicious farm politics under Orval Finkus.
