Votun Raveneye's page

Votun Raveneye is often mistaken for an elderly Human with his white hirsute beard and his slightly pointed ears hidden behind shoulder-length, white hair. His slender physique is casually viewed as weak and fragile from old age, even his almond-shaped eyes of the color of the horizon (pale blue) only hint of Elven heritage. He wears a grey-hued explorer’s outfit complete with wide-brimmed hat, sturdy leather boots, leather belt and breeches, silk shirt, many-pocketed overtunic, and a voluminous, many-pocketed cloak. At his belt, swings a cold iron Morningstar with “Feyswatter” engraved on it, but no one has seen him use it.

Votun Raveneye woke up four years ago walking on the trail toward the village of Heldren. His only companion was the raven Munin. After significant and aggressive interrogation, Munin has absolutely refused to answer any question regarding Votun’s past explaining that Votun himself made Munin promise to maintain his silence. It is still a sensitive topic between them.

When he arrived in Heldren, Votun discovered the village lacked an herbalist. The wise woman’s land and hut was still abandoned three years after her death. He accepted her land and hut in exchange for providing villagers with herbs at cost. Visitors could be charged whatever he wanted. He has earned a reputation among the villagers as a kindly, eccentric old man who knows quite a bit about a great many things.
