Message: <blockquote data-quote="CreamCloud0" data-source="post: 9508412" data-attributes="member: 7034710">The HearthsmithHearthsmiths exist to bring rest and recovery to anyone who needs it whereever they happen to be, they'll welcome all in to their shelter, give you a hot meal, a warm bed and fix up both you and your gear, but their job isn't finished until you've set out again so they'll do all you need to prepare you to head back out on the road too.Each and every Hearthsmith is connected to their own personal sanctuary, a wandering guesthouse of a pocket dimension they can summon the entrance or the whole building to whereever they need it, and taking the form of whatever they wish, but inside if you accept their hospitality, well, you've entered their home and their rules apply here now, and even if you haven't it's the job of a good host to ensure their guests aren't unduely disturbed and they're more than qualified to do that, so don't cause a fuss now!As a Hearthsmith grows stronger the benefits they can bring to people from being within their sanctuary grow stronger, more numerous or persist longer after leaving, some gain shops inside their sanctuaries which are ever stocked with useful gear for people to supply themselves with, others create burning forges where they upgrade and enchant equipment, many serve food that cure ills and strengthen the body, the occasional mystic spa has been known to turn up too to ease and work through mental stressers too, some create places that enhance learning and host classes teaching useful skills.SoothSooth is the patron god of the Hearthsmiths, said to of originally been a blacksmith who became an adventurer then later settling down to own an inn before ascending to godhood for his deeds and renown, Sooth experienced many sides of the traveller's lifestyle from many perspectives, the wisdom they learned from this was the most important thing is there being someone, anyone, willing to prop you up when you get tired, and so he ensured that was so.Sooth in his godhood is a large, old but muscular man, most of his skin glows red like iron in the fire but is never hotter to the touch than a comfortable warmth, he is never seen without wearing the bottom half of a repurposed-for-housekeeping leather smith's apron, he has short white wild hair and is typically of good humor, so long as you don't disturb the guests.</blockquote>
