The elderly cleric Velkik serves as advisor to the current chief of the Crookedtoes tribe, a Sarenrae-worshipping goblin tribe living in Absalom. Velkik previously served as the chief.

Appearance

Velkik's is partially blind due to her habit of gazing at the sun. She is the oldest member of the Crookedtoes tribe, at over 30 years old.

Associates

Under Velkik's leadership in the Fangwood, the tribe evaded conflict with nearby humans and even traded with some merchants travelling near their domain. She keeps a close eye on those who display 'classic' goblin behaviours.

Background

Velkik came into prominence after the Crookedtoes lost most of its members during the Goblinblood Wars and fled north to settle in the Fangwood, on the border between Lastwall and Nirmathas. Claiming to receive visions of the sun speaking to her, Velkik preached redemption and peace as her tribe abandoned their ancestors' violent ways. She turned her tribe's obsession with fire into the worship of Sarenrae, but her community's faith is far from mainstream, given her lack of any formal training. Over the course of 20 years, she instated numerous radical reforms: young are only leashed instead of caged, literacy is no longer taboo, and most notable of all, food is obtained by hunting and gathering instead of raiding nearby settlements. In 4719 AR, she passed the Crookedtoes' leadership to King Zusgut, but Velkik retains high standing in the tribe, guiding them in moral and spiritual matters and spending her time on the roof of the Crookedtoes' playhouse home contemplating the sun, surrounded by a small group of acolytes.
