Tieve

Tieve is the sole oracle in Colhen and is in charge of ancestral rituals, such as memorial rites and christenings. She helps Ernmass at the Inn when she’s not at the Temple.

Nobody knows where she came from or who her original parents were, but it was Ernmass who brought her into the village, which is why she usually treats Ernmass as her grandfather.

She has the gift of communicating with animals. It is also likely that she can transcend the language barrier and communicate with Fomors.

She is beautiful, kind, and beloved by everyone in the village. What’s even more rare is that she’s always putting herself into the position of others to understand their feelings. This usually leads to cases when she becomes emotionally overburdened by misfortunes of other people that go far beyond feelings of sorrow.

She sees the good in everyone and everything. Tieve has been waiting to hear the voice of the goddess, but so far has heard only silence. This worries her greatly and sometimes makes her wonder if she’s really an oracle at all.

In the path to Rocheste, there is a Temple not far from Colhen. Tieve occasionally comes to that area to worship the goddess.

"The first time I heard the voice of an animal, I was very young. It was a starling sitting in one of the Inn's windowsills. He was a beautiful creature with a beautiful mind."
