Pedragar
Father Pedragar is a High Priest of the Cult of Taal.[1]
Appearance
With a bushy grey beard and thick, bristling eyebrows over grey hawk-like eyes, he is well known to people dwelling in the eastern Drakwald. Father Pedragar wears a head-dress of brown bear fur with antlers to mark his status as a priest. His staff is made of of lightning-struck oak topped with a stag’s head that he carved as an initiate. [1]
Duties
He leads rites for local Taalites and tends to three holy sanctuaries in the Drakwald Forest which he moves with the phases of the moon. [1]
- Bear’s Run Temple:. A small round temple to the god. [1]
- Elster Grove: A copse of ancient beech, hazel and oak trees atop a small hillock with, at its centre a depression from which a spring emerges and trickles down the western slope. A shadow that resembles the silhouette of a horned man is cast onto the surface of the small pool at dusk.[1]
- Monolith of the Stormlord:. A broad natural tor which rises some 20 feet above the high moors and which retains fiat, highly eroded primitive outlines of animals and plants carved around its summit. [1]
History
Around 2470 IC, he was born in the village of Drakenburg, becoming a childhood friend of Markus Wulfhart and they were further united when their home village was razed by a one eyed Bonegrinder Giant. Although Wulfhart hunted down the this cyclops of the Drakwald, both he and Pedragar nurse a lingering hatred of such unnatural monsters. Pedragar believes that Wulfhart is blessed by Taal and is actively trying to persuade him to enter the priesthood. [1]
As well as protecting the sacred sites of his god, he is attempting to track down the Beastlord Khazrak and learn more about the Moonclaw, the Lunatic Prince. [1]
