High Priestess Elowen

High Priestess Elowen
Location: Steamfort, Northern Continent Faction: The Vanguard of Dawn
High Priestess Elowen is a dwarven cleric of immense power and unwavering faith. She was instrumental in establishing the first temples of the Pantheon of Seven Saints in the Northern Continent, bringing the light of the Saints to the soot-choked tunnels of Steamfort.
Unlike many of her dwarven kin who worship the forge and the machine, Elowen believes that true strength comes from spiritual fortitude and divine healing. She is a master of restoration magic, often venturing into the lower levels of the Deep Mines to tend to miners suffering from "Iron Lung" and other industrial ailments.
She is a stern but compassionate figure, constantly clashing with Forge-Lord Durgrim and the Ironbeard Syndicate over their disregard for the health and safety of their workers. She is particularly concerned with the "No-Delve Zone" of Shaft 42, where she believes the Syndicate is exposing miners to lethal levels of void-energy. Elowen secretly funnels church funds into a network of hidden clinics throughout the lower tiers of the city, often working alongside independent scavengers to smuggle medicine into the forbidden shafts.
