Niav and Katrinelya

Niav and Katrinelya are the current hierarchs of the Cult of Taal and Rhya in the far southern portions of the Reikwald Forest. Although the Cult does not recognise a single (or in this case, paired) leadership position, few can dispute the wisdom, power, and influence of these two. Both appear to be extremely old, yet move with the speed and grace of youngsters in their prime—it is rumoured they are actually Elves in disguise, spreading the beliefs of Taal and Rhya in forms Humans can understand.

Katrinelya, the Hierarch of Rhya, possesses a thin form and kind face, and is by far the most outspoken and down-to-earth of the two. She spends her time wandering between the tiny hamlets, farming communities, and Orchards of the Reikwald, lending aid to those in need. Those that meet her usually walk away with a renewed outlook on life and fierce desire to preserve the Old Ways and ancient woods of the Empire. Although she claims little interest in matters of politics and secular life, Katrinelya is a persuasive speaker and can easily hold her own even in debate with a learned priest of Verena. 1a 1b

Wise Niav is withdrawn, almost distant, and pays little heed to the affairs of man and Empire. His immensely full beard hides eyes that glimmer with both wisdom and some deep insight into the mysteries of the wilds. His days are spent moving from sacred stone circle to holy glen, listening to the winds for whispers of the future and words from Taal. When he actually does speak, it is with firm, absolute conviction and belief—otherwise Niav remains as silent as a deer.
