Character History:
Born in Vidim, Croaker was raised like most of the huginn in the chill grey realm to serve the Tsar. One of his first assignments upon reaching adulthood was to travel with an army into the heart of the Rothenian Plain to subdue and bring the Khazzaki under Vidim's control. The effort ended in complete disaster. Croaker and several members of his immediate squad ending up fleeing south as the army was routed. Unfortunately they ended up within the Red Mounds, sacred burial sites protected by the Khazzaki. Being discovered and captured among the mounds, they were subsequently tried by the angry horsemen and buried alive as a punishment. Fortunately for Croaker as his executioners filled his soon to be grave, he spotted a large rough diamond in the soil. Being a true huginn the shining stone fascinated Croaker. The sparkle drawing his attention even as more soil was thrown atop his head. Twisting, stretching and craning his neck just enough, the trapped huginn was just able to reach out and grab the gem in his beak. Surprisingly, as soon as it touched his flesh Croaker became imbued with with new knowledge and power as Calipha, the Scouring Wind, became aware of his existence and entered his mind. Entombed beneath the great plain, he communed with Calipha for seconds, minutes, days, Croaker doesn't really know. Visions upon visions passed through his mind. Through the lens of one of the great immortal beings of multiverse he witnessed gods and events unfathomable to mortal minds. Most he did not understand. Little does he remember, except screaming and clawing in the entombed darkness as his mind was shattered and rebuilt for anothers purposes. All he truly knows from the experience is that he did not die buried under the Rothenian Plain. Instead he emerged from his tomb reborn, alive and with a new purpose. Physically little had changed except several of the feathers around his neck and on his head had changed color from the usual blue-black to a lighter gray and even white. Mentally his mind was ablaze. New ways of seeing the world coursed through him. He felt a special link with, and ability to manipulate, the elements that make up this mortal existence. Following his escape and he wandered the plain and further south seeking he knew not what. Yet always he felt compelled to preach the glory of the Scouring Wind. Being a wandering prophet with little money or mind for personal wealth, Croaker has traveled (or been run out of depending on who you speak with) communities across the Rothenian plain and through the Mharoti Empire. It was in the empire where his preaching dreams of freedom to the Jambuka had him escaping several towns and cities just ahead of the Dread Sultan's soldiers and where he first learned of St. Helba. With the blessing of his also curious patron, Croaker vowed to learn more of this fledgling god of Midgard. Following caravan and smuggler routes he continued his wanderings north and west. Across hundreds, thousands of miles Croaker wanders. Speaking of St. Helba. Asking of St. Helba. Searching for answers, or perhaps making up his own, he is never really very sure which. Around the Ruby Sea to Perunalia, through Magdar and finally to Zobeck. Within the great city he has felt the calling of this new goddess. His wild eyes churn upon the borders of madness as he preaches of St. Helba and the Scouring Wind. Personality: Ideal: Flaw: Bond: --------------------

It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object-such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest-it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
