World of Asphodel
The thorn-walls around Thornhaven are navigable only by those who know the secret paths — runners who carry messages, supplies, and the occasional fugitive through miles of razor-sharp bramble. You know every twist and gap.

Thorn-Path: You can navigate dense, thorny, or otherwise impassable undergrowth at normal speed without taking damage. You know hidden paths through Thornhaven's briar wall and similar natural barriers elsewhere.
I'm covered in thin scars from years of running the briars. I wear them proudly.
I can squeeze through any gap I can fit my head through.
Speed: The message must arrive. Everything else is secondary.
Cunning: The obvious path is the trapped one.
I smuggled someone out of Thornhaven who was being hunted. I don't know what they did.
The briars are changing — growing thicker, more aggressive. Something's wrong.
I'm claustrophobic in man-made spaces but perfectly comfortable in brambles.
I can't say no to a request to carry a message, even when it's clearly dangerous.
