Who's Who; The Sect of Sharla
The Goddess: Sharla goddess of the Leomans and beauty
Born of a humble but well off clan Sharla had a normal childhood for a Leoman. The only notable thing about her youth was her remarkable beauty. She joined a clan on her maturity and had her first children within two years as was the norm. Unfortunately Orcs still preyed on the land in those days, and they attacked her clanhouse. While most of the clan escaped, Sharla's young infants where killed. She pursued the Orcs two days, and personally killed most of them. While she went on to bear other children, she has never forgotten the Orcs, and hates them with a passion.
The years of motherhood took her into middle age, and wanderlust took her past the clanhouse and into the greater world as an adventurer and later a witch. The tales of her adventures and climb into the heights of Eyrian society are well known and well told. She matured and in time he new mate, the Phoenix Tesral offered her the cup of immortality. She well knew that while her people looked to many gods, none looked after her people, she accepted, and began to make a place for herself as the mother and protector of the Leoman people.
Sharla is the patron goddess of her race, the idea of the female Leoman. She stands 5'9", on the tall side for a Leoman, her fur is a golden tawny color her hair silver, and her eyes rich amber pools. She is so beautiful that any mortal looking upon her is struck with awe and desire, so great is her beauty that even the animals will offer themselves as prey at her feet. She can use any power of magic at will, especially those of the Craft, in which she is an accepted master. Her intuition is so astute that she can come to a correct conclusion on only a couple of connected facts, sometimes on a mere suggestion. As patron of the Leoman race she is aware of any matter that concerns her people. While she maintains concern she does not intervene in the day to day lives of the people except through the priests.
