High Priestess of Aerna

Posted on September 22, 2025

Steel Realms

The High Priestess of Aerna in the Hearth Home temple is the most important of the Groups and Individuals of note in Hearth Home. She dwells within the confines of the High Temple of Aerna itself in the City of Rhylan, in a simple though beautiful and comfortable set of chambers.

  • Before she can be High Priestess, she must be married
  • The High Priestess is trained in the ways of the Heraldic Boreal Tradition.

There are rumors that the High Priestess of Aerna has some special sway into turning the A Plague of Hags‘s attention west.

Led by the high priestess of the time, The Purge of Hermenna ousted every malign master and apprentice along the shores of Lake Caolite and southern Rhyl in CY 9120.

Current High Priestess – “The Peacewalker”

Highest Dame Mother Ketosha Silver Hem

The Peacewalker is her temple title, but she also has the ones she has earned. “Mender of Broken Words”, whose voice is said to be able to soothe demons and devils. She once redeemed a Justicar that lied. She has her Peace Speakers of the High Temple – her personal attendants trained in boreal heraldic traditions. She sends them into dangerous positions to bring about peace.

Defining Ideal: The Grand Duchy of Rhyl has been "The Shield of the North" in the wars of The Noble East vs. The Broken Lands for thousands of years as well as stradling the crossroads of many powers and maintaining a tense peace. The Chronicle of Rhyl shows it first as many fiefdoms of 'The Lands of Rhylan' (CY 5500's), then a united kingdom (CY 5980), then as a duchy of the High Kings' kingdom of Gladnor (CY 6514). All citizens in the north take the pledge of Rhylan the Living.

Culture: Rhylian ( 'rill', 'rillian') locales have locally flavored experiences, but unless noted, follow general Territories and Fiefdoms properties and all share Common Culture - languages, Character Experience, institutions, Law, etc.
