First appearance: the blood feud of toad water
As a major figure in Short Fiction, Georg Znaeym is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Ulrich's lifelong enemy, caught poaching on the disputed land; also trapped, he eventually accepts Ulrich's offer of reconciliation.
Georg Znaeym belongs to the wrong side of a boundary dispute that has outlived its original grievance, a quarrel his family never accepted losing. He patrols the contested woodland with the same vigilance as his aristocratic rival, each man hoping to catch the other trespassing. His stubborn refusal to concede what he considers rightfully his turns a property line into a matter of identity, and that rigidity is what the story's central encounter will test.
