Profile


Loyal, sensible, forthright; blunt, stubborn, generally deadpan.

One of the many collectors of lore, but above all else he overlooks the death and decay of nature—animals especially. The eyes on his halo give him glimpses of creatures that have recently died nearby, so that he may ensure they have "properly passed." A shepherd of the dead, but far from their reaper.

♦ Said eyes rotate clockwise within their circle and the arches which touch them rotate counter-clockwise. While the wings remain in a static position, they move in a slow, arrhythmic manner.
♦ He is most active during the winter, an appropraite season for his occupation.
♦ Mihr lingers within a general area until all of its lore has been collected and studied by him or otherwise, and oftentimes it takes him several years to accomplish such a task. Because of so, he does not have a herd he closely associates himself with, and instead only observes the herds that come and go.
♦ In the event that the deceased has failed to move on—an increasingly frequent occurrence—he communicates with their essence to quell their troubles with the objective of seeing them off to the other side. This process of negotiation can last for days, and it serves to keep as much of the dead from roaming amongst the living.
♦ His authority does not go beyond the boundaries of peaceful influencing; no doubt that some of his endeavours have been in vain.
♦ The dead that have "loosed" themselves unto the living (as the result of Mihr's failed persuading) often become much like the creatures in the lore he gathers, insofar as weaving themselves within the stories humans tell each other.
♦ That being said, Mihr is quite old. While his exact age remains a mystery, he claims to have seen about four hundred winters.
