🎉📣 CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: KLAYPOTT 📣🎉

We LOVEEE having the opportunity to show off the incredible art-work and story-telling that our participants put together, so are SUPER excited to introduce everyone to Klaypott, a character that one of our amazing participants designed!

"Klaypott is well known for her role within the temple, a vessel for the spirits, working mostly with divination, ceremonial assistance and blessing travellers for the journey ahead. Since she was cured of her childhood ailment, she has frequently heard whispers in infernal tongue. Usually ominous in nature, she believes it to be the warnings of her goddess but the true likely demonic nature of the spirit has been hidden from her by the High Priestess.

She is very superstitious and can easily perceive omens in everything around her. She is particularly scared of thunderstorms, believing it to be a sign of Kikanutis wrath. Klaypott has always been a popular tourist attraction for the temple due to her eloquent nature for a goblin, unusual colour palette and spiritual abilities. Due to this she is awkwardly socialised, frequently objectified, work oriented, naive and has no genuine friends. Well-read as the face of the temple, she can speak and write in common, goblin, infernal, elvish and how to understand Celestial only in reading.

Now a young adult, she travels to hire out her clerical services in hopes to eventually buy and obtain helpful magical relics and gain a better understanding of her clients before she takes over as High Priestess."
