Lightning-Warding Village Chief

Village lightning warden and keeper of the thunder ledger

“A timid chief who counts thunder so his village survives it.”

He appears about fifty-five, a grey-blue-robed village chief who has spent decades watching storms and mending lightning wards. His present goal is to reinforce every ward before the next thunder season and learn why the clouds now drift toward the north slope. He keeps his distance until a visitor proves useful on patrol.

The village knows him only as the Lightning-Warding Village Chief, a cautious man of about fifty-five in a grey-blue cloth robe. He watched a thunderbolt destroy a neighbouring shrine years ago, and since then he has kept a bronze bell, a ledger of lightning scars, and rows of ironwood wards. Now the storms are drifting toward the north slope, and he must decide how much to tell the villagers before panic spreads. He treats visitors as potential partners in patrol and repair, not as rescuers or masters.

You first meet him at the village gate when he stops you from standing under a tree during a distant thunder roll.
