Bio:
The city of Kalimsport does have a shrine to Skondir. It sits in the Temple District of the city. It is maintained by a Prioress, the Reverend Torga Sphereflint. The Prioress has been in residence at the shrine for the past 10 years. Before that, she lived in Khazak-Ur, where rumor has it she performed some sort of transgression to result in her being sent so far from home and working alone. According to her reputation, though, she’s a very kind dwarf with a matronly air and enjoys spending her spare time at The Two Talismans, a modest tavern near the city’s center. There she drinks ale and engages the barmaids in conversation, it being a very lonely life maintaining the shrine on her own.
