Theme of Whiteburn
A zealous Drogorian Priestess and an Inquisitor of the Temple.
Chosen by Drogor himself to serve as his voice during the great manifestation of his wrath in the year 414.
She travels near and far, preaching the word of her lord, tending to his shrines, and carrying out his bloody judgment with ravenous glee.
Along with Drogor, Whiteburn reveres the other Dark Gods and holds them in complete adulation.

Appearance

You see Sea Priestess Whiteburn, Fanatic Pedagogue of Drogor, a S'Kra Mur.
She has an elongated face with a vicious scar riven through the scales from brow to chin, wild slitted eyes, one livid marine-blue and one filmed over by a milky-white cataract and an elegant snout, ghostly-white scales, a powerful oarlike tail and a lean figure.
She is tall for a S'Kra Mur.
She appears to be young.
Her right palm has a tattoo of a triskelion formed by a blacktip brine shark, a goblin brine shark and a blue brine shark positioned tail-to-tail.

She is wearing a long ceremonial headdress crowned with sharktooth blossoms, a salt-encrusted eyepatch, a caliginous greatcloak bristling with haemic spines, a stormy azure sacrificial Drogorian trident, a black linen robe adorned with the shark of Drogor, some light plated claw guards set with obsidian claws, a silver tail barb and some black suede boots embellished with silver-clawed toecaps.

Holy Rites and Practices

Resurrection

Whiteburn does not perform resurrections readily or often. In return for their lives, she requires that the newly-raised sacrifice a portion of their souls to Drogor. The corpses of those spirits that refuse are often left where they fell until time, the elements, scavengers, or more benevolent priests claim them.

Sacrifice

Whiteburn considers the act of ritual sacrifice as the purest offering of devotion. She speaks of it as a scouring of the soul second only to the Red Spiral, and an essential act of spiritual cleansing for one who wishes to serve as a vessel of the Dark. Whiteburn encourages all those wishing to pledge themselves to Drogor to consider this most hallowed rite and readily offers her assistance in performing it.

Prayers Unto the Dark

For those individuals who do not wish to personally serve Drogor, but would like to offer prayers or have their pleas heard, Whiteburn will assist in whatever manner she is able.

Recent Happenings

The Altar of the Storm

In the year 419, a great miracle occurred outside the East Gate of Riverhaven. A Prydaen worshiper named Zhirrisk Dozypaws built a crude altar by the ruins of the broken bridge and the Priestess Whiteburn held a brief ceremony, consecrating the area in Drogor's name. With the blessing of the Lord of Storms, the site was sanctified. The altar, covered in both the blood of faithful followers as well as those foolish enough to attempt to defile it, is the first and only such holy place dedicated to Drogor in all of Therengia. Whiteburn was elated; after years of bitter struggle to bring worship and knowledge of the Dark One to the North, the people now had a place to pray. She spends much of her time there, preaching the tenets and dogmata of her god.

The altar has managed to garner the ire of a certain Lord Astenad Shillat. The Morzindaen's protests against Drogor's influence over Riverhaven, and his wish to have the altar either removed or relocated, lead to a surging tide of anger from the Immortals. Whiteburn and several other adventurers prayed to the Gods and were answered with the sudden appearance of a handful of blessed Drogor's Wrath sapphires, born of lightning and wrought into the shape of sharks. With the softly glowing gems close at hand, Whiteburn awaits an opportunity to present them to the Baron of Therengia and his retainers as proof of the will of the divine. It is her hope that this will help to end any lingering animosity toward Drogor in the North.
