Who's Who -- The Disciplines
Shadowhawk -- The many born
Shadowhawk is the many born man. He has lived over 300 life times in his turns of the great wheel. In his lives he has occupied every social position from beggar to King, experienced every race, and has been both man and woman.
Unlike mortals who never, without great effort, remember their past lives, Shadowhawk can recall each life with great clarity. With this knowledge he understands in ways that those born gods never could the changes that mark the mortal life.
Shadowhawk was a thief in his last life, choosing to be born to low estate, he was not really planing to become a god. Because of this he is also the parton of thieves and outcasts. While he will not aid in stealing, he does offer some protection for those down on their luck or unjustly persecuted by authority.
Shadowhawk also has spent the majority of his lives in one city, at least after it was founded. The last 100 lives, where lived in the City of Lankmar, and he holds that city as special.
Sparrowhawk -- Demigod
Sparrowhawk is Shadowhawk's only known living child. He offered her a psoition as his demigod when she started getting up in years.
Sparrowhawk aids in general ways. She doesn't have any paticular sphere of influnace as such.
Zed -- Demigod of Life
Zed was one of Shadowhawk's first worshipers, and the first of the Paladins. Worshipers dealing with life's hardships or difficult rulers call on Zed for aid.
Wayne -- Demigod of Death
Wayne is was once the death himself. The being that once attended the death of every creature in the universe. At this point he serves only Shadowhawk, he has passed the mantel of Death to other hands. He still possess all the powers of death however.
Cathiea -- Personal Servant
Cathiea is the daughter of Molly and Tommie Elsoria. She was one of the most sought after women of her age. Gods were lined up courting her. In the end it was the least likely man that won her heart and hand. Indeed Shadowhawk didn't even try to "win" her.
Cathiea is active in Shadowhawk's religion and often aids or consults with his clergy.
Tommie Lanarn Elsoria -- Blood Brother
This relationship started when the young Tommie faced his first kill, and the older, and strange man backed him up. Shadowhawk became both teacher and student, and when Tommie reached manhood, they became brothers of choice.
When Tommie claimed his rightful heritage as Slantia Tommie, the first father, Shadowhawk stood beside him. To this date Shadowhawk is the only human god that has been given voice in the Halls of Valinor.
