Ilet Agani

You see Ritualist Rahanar Banigar, Arcane Researcher of the House of the Rowan Branch, an Elothean.

He has an angular face, leaf-shaped ears, hollow, sunken Grazhir-white eyes and a flattened nose.  He is bald, with deathly pale skin and a cadaverous build.

He appears middle-aged.
He is tall for an Elothean.

He has a long narrow mustache that droops to either side of the mouth on his upper lip and a long thin beard.

His forehead has a tattoo of a chaotic geometric weaving in blacks and greys that follows the natural contours.

He is holding a cambrinth rabbit with a jeweled collar in his right hand and an eerily glowing blackened moonsilver crow with large gais eyes in his left.
He is wearing some enveloping ritualist's robes of tattered black dreamweave with a tiny crest, an umbral-bone aventail etched with an eldritch mass of squirming tentacles, a twisted diacan-edged exoskeletal ritual dagger set with a tidal bloodstone cabochon, a scrimshawed nacre-bone scroll tube representing aberrant phenomena and some dark leather winged boots lined with luxurious sable fur.

About

Considering that he never removed or formally resigned, most people believe Rahanar to still be a member of the Cleric's Guild. It is not publicly known that Rahanar is affiliated with Necromancers and only a few of the highest ranking House of the Rowan Branch members are aware of The Great Work.
Much has changed since leaving his station under Esuin as Grand Master Cleric to devote himself to his House. Little is known about the actions and intentions of The House of the Rowan Branch and his time there has drastically changed him, mentally and physically. Rahanar does not consider himself a Necromancer since he does not create Risen or Zombies. He believes himself to be a Philosopher of the House of the Rowan Branch, seeking knowledge to complete The Great Work and Arcane power to further the interests of his House.. and possibly himself, to move beyond the control of The Thirteen.

"They are just a branch. I will be the tree."
"I was anointed Grandmaster Cleric by Guildleader Esuin himself. I've resurrected countless, even glimpsed The Void and basked in Murrula's Flames. And yet..."

"The only judgement that I'll abide is that of my House."

"The Gods can see our actions and even hear our words. But can they hear our thoughts? Can they sense our intentions?"

Custom Items

some enveloping ritualist's robes of tattered black dreamweave with a tiny crest

Expertly draped so as to produce seemingly endless, rippling folds that mimic the undulating patterns in the sheen of the fabric itself, the layers of cloth are substantial, though not bulky.  The long sleeves and large hood appear tattered, but the allure of the dreamweave fabric remains intact.  A tiny crest is masterfully embroidered on the upper left chest to display a bare and broken rowan branch encircling a cracked tomb on a blood-red field.

Light embroidery in vermilion thread follows the seams around the edges of the garment, giving it a crisp, clean-cut appearance.

some simple wicker sandals
Soft suede pads the braided thongs to eliminate unnecessary friction and provide added comfort. The sandals feature supple leather soles strengthened with a layer of flexible bamboo to dampen the noise of each footstep.
