Reeja Hestui

The Trouble Embodied Reeja Nurana Hestui (a.k.a. "This Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time")

A dragonborn who has experimented on hirself with flesh-shaping magics.

Conducted below is an interview, interviewer has yet to be identified.

"Well... where am I from, you ask?"

"Have you, by any chance, heard of Khuyang Wastes? Quite a place, especially if you get to the oasis... well, without dying to the blowgun plants around it. Old security measure, you see."

"But yeah, if you get inside, that's quite the place - a lot of greenery, bone and horn to make up the security wall and then, inside it, living places and labs, where secrets of life are being discovered and new life is created..."

"... Well, that was the idea, at least. Sometimes things don't go according to plan. In fact, quite a lot of times they do not. That's the reason for why it's there in the first place - when things go wrong and escape, desert makes sure they don't escape too far."

"And for what I was doing... well, most of the time I've been helping others in that place, you see. Doing errands, moving things and so on."

"That, and I did some experimentation myself. A lot of it was interesting and fun. The time I've turned my own skin into bone was not. The time when I've turned my keel into tumour was very much not."

"In fact, my keel is still healing after we've had to remove the old one and grow a whole new, so... I'm not that good at flying for now. Not sure, how soon I'll fully regain my wings."

Reeja's Timeline

Mythweavers Sheet

The alter consists of three parts and is covered in fake gold, just like the entire glory of some clerics. If one, who looked at it, lacks fantasy, they would be unable to discern, what even is drawn on those three parts. There's one thing for sure, though - this altar could be successfully used by anyone, as many usages of it have shown.

Painted with bright paints, alter, from a certain distance, looked a bit like a color test plate for checking fleshcrafters for color blindness.

Only one figure was actually discernible - some naked man, vaguely similar to the depictions of Obir, with a greenish body, which reminded of geese's rump, which was already stinking and rotting. No one was attacking this dude - on the contrary, two winged things were escorting him. However, viewer could easily think, that this naked godly man is screaming in terror, because he's so afraid of his company, since his escort looked like folktale horrors, something in-between of winged wildcat and apocalyptic beast.

The drawing on the opposite side was supposed to be represent some of the deities. When it comes to the Khuzdaru, the painter wasn't very successful in mangling him. He has painted some bird, which resembled the Celestial Firebird as much as it resembled a white chicken.

But the Ituleos looked like a gangster from the Wilds, like those shown in the adventure books.

And the Bizhena was depicted as a life-happy young catwoman with a sizeable belly, covered with something akin to underpants. In general, she looked like she was fresh from some game: she was carrying a bow like it was a cricket bat.

And from the far away enough, the entire picture got blurred and resembled a airship, arriving to the tower.

No one knew, what was painted on the third part.

Locals were always arguing, when trying to solve this mystery. Someone has even recognized a landscape of Fjarol here. Though it'd seem, that those were supposed to be other gods... or something.
