Viriena – Life, Animals, Water

If there is a leader of the inquisitors on Gelfestiir it is Viriena. Inquisitors are generally solitary, but all of them seem to consult regularly with Viriena. Many mortals who encounter Viriena fine one or more other inquisitors in attendance as well, and not just her chorus.

But why this may be is uncertain. She remains as much or more separated from mortals than other inquisitors and spends much of her time in the wilds.  And yet she is also one of the more welcoming of mortals and is known to “hold court” in a single place long enough for people to become aware and make a pilgrimage to see her.

She is never alone. Even when her chorus is dispatched elsewhere on her business, she is always accompanied by a pair of humanoid-like versions of natural creatures (some rumored she transforms actual creatures to be her escorts for a time). There will also often be normal animals in attendance.

In spite of all this, most who go to meet with Viriena in search of advice, prophecies or wisdom leave unfulfilled. She usually listens more than she speaks, and her responses are often cryptic. Those who seek healing, however, are often rewarded, especially those who meet her criteria as most deserving. Those who approach her with demands are dismissed with force to match their rudeness.
