Kestrel N'hya Loriah (Kestrel, Daughter of the House of Loriah) Kestrel N'hya Loriah (Kestrel, Daughter of the House of Loriah) Class Cleric Level: 7th Deity: Maldina Align: Lawful Good * Weapons: Sword & Shield / 2 swords Garb: Blue & White, with silver. Other Names Kestrel was baptized Mercy MacAllister, but had her name formally changed by Hawk, the High Priest at the Temple at Mount Tarenya when she was accepted there. Only a handful of people know Kestrel by the name Mercy. (PCs: Silence Cornelius, Padraig MacAllister, Sebastian Brookdale. NPCs: Bishop Cornelius, Baron Caruthers, Constant MacLarrin) Detect Magic: Kestrel herself (innate abilities, Wind Elemental & matoo on left wrist), her outer garment (Robe of Power & Breakthrough Rune Card), headband holy symbol, Dove Totem necklace, armor, silver sword, all 3 rings worn, 2 rosette pins on either breast, bag of healing draughts. (See Attached Magic Item List) Current EXP: EXP for 8th: Psychological profile: Due to the events of her childhood, she has an intense fear of imprisonment and a very high tolerance for pain. She has a deep sense of caring for children, and a strong maternal instinct. *She will not tolerate seeing a child abused, and will do anything – including break laws – to protect them. She is a little shy of men - her only past sexual experience (other than an assault at age 19 and her ‘Dream World’ liaisons with Sebastian) is tending victims of sexual assaults and delivering children. She currently has twin burdens of responsibility that weigh upon her heavily: First, she is the highest level (active PC) Cleric of her faith. Secondly, Sebastian has asked her aid in guarding a Grimoire of dark magic, which is being pursued by both traitorous members of the Order of the Mithril Arrow, and an entire nation of Drow Elves. Social Profile/History: Kestrel is considered a criminal in the Kingdom of Hothior and is wanted for questioning in the Kingdom of Monaque. She has been granted citizenship in the Empire of Quur, and was sponsored for it by Sir Festil D’Verot, Heir to House D’Verot, and by Sandus, the Emperor himself. She is the adopted daughter of Sabin Loriah, and is romantically involved with Sir Sebastian Brookdale. Mundane Skills: Kestrel is a highly trained midwife. She knows most farm-type skills such as dealing with livestock, crops, child- tending, etc. She can sew, embroider, cook and clean anything. She knows how to swim and is used to extremes of temperature and treatment.

Best PC Act of Courage, Test of Time: (For running downhill into combat alone against 5 opponents to heal a hostage, so fast she ran out of her boots, leaving them behind on the hill.) Best PC Act of Courage, All Roses Have Thorns : (For helping Camilla and holding off her team so Camilla could escape, and getting into a theological argument with the Tainite priest over whether it was right to save Camilla.)

For most of the Complex history, the emphasis was concentrated at Crescent Lake while the North Platte Refuge was considered "other duty as assigned". In 1985 an agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) was implemented replacing the Bureau with the Service as the primary jurisdiction agency. With this, the North Platte NWR began demanding ever increasing amounts of funding and staff power. It seemed the more involved the Service became at North Platte NWR, the more problems and opportunities were discovered, demanding more involvement. In 1992, the decision was made to establish a Complex Office nearer to the North Platte NWR, which by this time was demanding more time of the Project Leader than Crescent Lake NWR. The move also solved another major problem: recruiting for the Project Leader and Office Assistant position. Historically, it has been difficult to fill vacancies in these positions due to the isolation of Crescent Lake NWR, especially for families with children.
