Hamedas
Hamedas is an alcoholic, elder Rust Brother who’s been posted in Grindbone mostly because
the church wants to be rid of him. He is insufferably lecturing, lecherous and wordy. Usually some adept is forced to stay with him during their internship. Hamedas accepts “gifts” from the guild and, in return, he blesses the slave trade.
The guild still runs at a profit since they deliver sacrificial slaves to the church in other places. Now and then Hamedas is given a slave to sacrifice to the gods Rust and Heme. On such
occasions he will dress in the full regalia of the church, with a mask of iron and rusty clothes and demands that everyone attends.
Sometimes he gets into a drunken stupor, speaking in tongues, and raves about an intimate connection
to the gods. He is then brought to one of the village’s outlying farms to dry out and calm down.
