Message: <blockquote data-quote="Loonook" data-source="post: 5818931" data-attributes="member: 1861">Temple on High:Overlooking the Dockside, the Temple on High is the home of Elder Hetna and her hundreds of exotic birds.  Once a paladin of the Sun Lord, Hetna is the only non-human amongst the Churchmice, and her methodical disposition has led her into becoming a skilled fancier and friend to sultan and stevedore alike.  Hetna has used a combination of genetics, proper breeding, and her constant observation to create several dozen varieties of harrier for falconry, and a group of hyper-intelligent, fast-moving pigeons for carriage of messages to and from her various fancier companions.At 4'6" Hetna is an enormous specimen of her race, and has lived her ninety years in service to her Sun Lord.  She has established an open-air market for her beauties, and as a place for her meetings with her husband Hetne.  Hetne Broadback, the ginger tonsured human follower of the Sun Lord, was raised in the primitive wastes surrounding the City of Sighs.  He has lived fit and hale without aging since his wife took him to her hearth and bed.  While some claim it is a blessing, Hetne prefers to think of it as his wonderful punishment for marrying such a beauty.  At an even 7', Hetne is a master of shapeshifting and spends most of his time in the form of a crimson goshawk or secretly as  the Mercy, a shark that haunts the range near Shipbreaker's Hold.  Hetne and Hetna's children number five, and each bears Hetdotter or Hetson as their family name.Description: Imagine an enormous aerie made of stone and wood.  Within the wealthy look upon perches where dozens of beautiful birds bear multi-colored ribbons assigning their value.  A trained hawk of Hetna's can run upwards of 400GP, while her Four Emperors (named after the Four Emperors of the Last Imperium) cannot be purchased.  These birds serve as protectors over the skies of Legendfall, and are imbued with daily rituals by the two divine casters to enhance their skill and provide for protection against possible threats.Background: Hetne Broadback is a 9th level Druid follower of the Sun Lord.  He is True Neutral, believing full well in the ideas of life and death and the powers of sea and air.Elder Hetna is an 8th level Cleric/2nd Level Paladin of the Sun Lord.  She is (of course) Lawful Good, and has helped to reign in some of Hetne's darker urges when he is lost in the Dance of Shaping.Slainte,-Loonook.</blockquote>
