Ptaki

Ptaki is an infrequent guest to Norvale Keep, coming and going as he pleases.

A young man of 19, bald and bearing simple dull blue and brown smock and a small fur shawl, with tattoos covering much of his body. Piercings in his cheeks, ears and nose with simple studs, a lean, muscled and tanned skin exposed to the elements. Of average height and slightly emaciated.

He speaks few words, but when he does a voice blessed in confidence and strength.

Sheltered and naïve of many of the conveniences of tools and learned ways, he prefers his humble hermitage to living amongst the people. He does not disclose where he stays, except cryptically reply "Do you ask the fish where they sleep, or the bird which path it will take to get to it's nest?"

Ptaki grew up on the River God's teet. He knows little of the other deities, but also doesn’t care that there are any. His faith in the River God is total, providing him with everything. Ptaki had learned from an early age, that everything comes from the flow of the river, to be cycled anew. Like the rain upon the river that will fill the stream, that will crest the banks and flood the lands, all in order to heal and grow anew. Death is nothing new or a thing to be afraid of. Ptaki does not know who his parents are, some say that he floated ashore after the death of the last River Ancient but before the New Moon when another would have been selected. River God Cenobite Faen belives this as a sign from the River Gods, however, Cenobite Montavi believes that Faen orchestrated the whole affair. Ptaki's tattoos cover much of his torso. front and back, arms and legs with various 'nature scenes' - He is unsure of who, or when they were placed, and when asked about the origins of the tattoos replies "Do you remember when you got freckles on your skin?". Cenobite Faen believes them to be Ancient Marks of the River Gods but no one can support or validate her beliefs.
