Brother Hale
[!info] Quick Reference Role: Keeper of the roadside shrine Location: campaigns/the-hollow-between/locations/briarcross Public face: Gentle, apologetic, scholarly in a small-town way
Appearance
Thin, soft-voiced, and perpetually damp at the hem from the marsh paths. He keeps prayer ribbons tucked into his sleeves and smells faintly of lamp oil and rosemary.
Personality
Hale listens longer than most people can stand. He is kind without being weak, and his caution often reads as indecision until the moment he finally chooses a side.
Goals & Motivations
- Learn what the waking place truly is before anyone tries to destroy it
- Preserve the oldest records and customs of the village
- Keep the dead from becoming tools in the living's arguments
Connections
- Shares uncomfortable fragments of old lore with campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/mara-thornfield
- Respects campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/ysa-of-the-reeds more than he admits publicly
- Believes campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/tam-rowan has been chosen for something
Secrets
Hale found an older record suggesting the buried bell is not a warning, but an invitation to witness a judgment that was never completed. He has hidden this because he fears what the village would do with it.
