Sishala

Life and death are natural and cyclical. All living things need living things, or their remains to survive. This is a sacred truth of the world. No individual life is sacred on its own, but as part of the larger cycle, yes. The cycle itself must continue, and death is a necessary part of that cycle. All living things - plants, animals, etausi, treahni - feed other life after dying. How can you preserve life without death? - Sishala, Matriarch of the Sand Cliffs Rook

History

Sishala was raised from a hatchling in the ways of her people. Her tendency towards peaceful resolutions of conflicts in the tribe earned her a respected place under her grandmother from whom she learned much of their religion and history. She became the tribes matron and high priestess about 15 years ago, and has faithfully served since that time. Under her guidance the rook has prospered, and has positive relations with a few neighbouring rooks and even some Treahni who have made contact over the years.
