Priestess of Osterhn

The priestess of Osterhn serves the temple of Amarath in the small town of Osterhn in the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign, where she prayed and cared for the townsfolk in the days of Jasper's rule.¹

The hostages

When Jasper held two farmers as hostages in the square, the innkeeper Exalon arranged for her to pray at the Golden Ladle with the farmers' wives and kin, and the women came before Kemp Corvus to beg him to save their men. The words of her prayer were that mercy is rewarded by the gods and that the merciless would be judged not by Amarath but by Alarath; she called the taking of hostages barbaric.¹²

As she prayed, a faint, unnatural light could be seen in her hands. She carried a gift of the gods and was one of the chosen, able to work miracles, though she does not formally represent the church.³

When the farmers were freed, she tended their wrists, checked them for fever and embraced them, and the people thanked her. She spoke of settling things by talk as the way of Amarath and called everyone to the next Sunday's service.⁴

After Jasper's fall, Kemp asked her for the body of Alistar, whom the witch hunters had ordered burned, so that it could go to the man who had loved him. She said she did not think the hunters' decision right, took the responsibility on herself, and let the body out by the back door with her key.⁵

When the companions brought the captured Jasper back to Osterhn, she received him into a small, cell-like room of the temple and wanted his wound and his hunger seen to; she would allow no cruelty in the temple, and Ephorus agreed that his hands stay bound in front so that he could eat and drink. She let Kemp sit alone with the body of Sarah Lia Galanodel. She said she could not bear to watch an execution, and that the high priest Godwin would bear witness that the sentence was just.⁶⁷⁸

After Sarah's burial she kept up her prayers through the nights of the full moon, so that no evil spirit would trouble the grave, and comforted the mourners with the hope of meeting again beyond.⁹
