Ténsor, Scholar-priest of Thúmis

Character History and Notes:

Tensor has been raised almost from birth by the temple of Thúmis. His parents and clan are unknown. Tensor has concentrated more on his language talent and less on his magical ability. His persistent claims of being an Imperial heir didn't go over well among the other orphaned charges of the temple, nor among his teachers and caregivers. Many times he has borne the bruises of beatings from his peers and scoldings from his elders. By being more careful about what he says, Tensor has risen to Second Circle in the Temple hierarchy. He has recently been sent into the Underworld on an expedition led by his temple. His knowledge of languages will be extremely valuable in the ancient, buried ruins of civilizations past.

Kálti hiHlutu'ún, Temple guard of Kárakan

Character History and Notes:
Kálti has always wanted to be a warrior. Nothing interested her as child more than the tales of the ancient warriors of legend. The mythology of Vimúhla, Lord of Flame and Destruction, was also filled with great battles and warriors, and Kálti's devotion burned hot as well. As a teen, her teachers recognized the fire in her eyes and her unique memory talent as important assets, and began training her for a special duty to the temple.

She is now acting as a low-level agent in the Temple of Kárakan. Though Kárakan is one of the Stability Gods and Vimúhla one of the Change Gods, they are both military-oriented deities and have a lot in common, both theologically and politically. Many situations have seen these two temples on the same side of an issue, as is the case with the war with Yán Kór. These alliances aside, though, they still keep a close eye on each other, and that's where Kálti fits in.

She has held her present position as temple guard for a year. She reports to another agent within the Kárakan temple, and is also sent on various minor errands occasionally. She was recently sent by the temple of Kárakan as a supplemental warrior on an expedition into the Underworld for which the Temple of Thúmis needed some extra muscle.
