Cheiftan Gilsa Snowfeather

The head speaker and cultural leader of the Khiravi. He is well trusted amongst the chieftains of the various beasts tribes of the alliance. The foremost chronicler of Khiri and her many tales. He seeks to solve what truly is the cause of her recent disappearance.

Gilsa Snowfeather, an owlkin of profound wisdom and determination, is the main speaker and cultural leader of the Khiravi tribal alliance in the frigid expanse of The Shards. A devout healer, scribe, and scholar since his youth, Gilsa has dedicated his life to preserving and deepening the understanding of Khiri, the revered patron spirit of the beast folk in the region. Through tireless study of ancient stories, records, and oral traditions, he has become the foremost authority on Khiri’s existence and her historical guidance of their people.

Renowned for his sharp intellect and strategic mind, Gilsa is a fearless leader and battle tactician, inspiring respect and unity among the Khiravi tribes. Yet, his leadership is as much about insight as it is about strength. According to his research and theories, Khiri’s absence from The Shards is linked to the Snow Elves to the east and their enigmatic “Ice Guardian,” a figure of mystery and power. Gilsa believes that Khiri and the Ice Guardian are connected in some ancient rivalry, with the guardian somehow responsible for Khiri’s disappearance.

Despite his calls for the Snow Elves to reveal the truth, their continued denials have fueled tension among the Khiravi tribes. Gilsa’s stance has emboldened many chieftains who now clamor for war, believing conflict is the only path to freeing their long-lost patron. Standing at the crossroads of diplomacy and potential war, Gilsa embodies the complexity of his role—wise and patient yet unwavering in his pursuit of justice for his people and the restoration of Khiri to The Shards.
