Hamaka

Hamaka (LG half-elf Cleric 13) works alongside Razhan to care for the city’s orphans. She has over a dozen children and the youngest is only a month old. Dedicated to the Holy Mother, she is a pillar of virtue in the city. The love of Hamaka’s parents, her mother a Vohven Jungle Wild Elf and her father an Ahznomahnii hobilar, formed the cornerstone for her later theological beliefs. Meeting by the light of the moon, her soldier father happened upon a glade where her mother sat singing to the spirits of her ancestors. He watched entranced, his heart stolen. He returned to the glade repeatedly, shirking his soldierly duties as the hold of her charms tightened. Her mother spotted the young soldier on his first visit but pretended not to notice and, after awhile, she looked forward to his visits, until one day the soldier found the courage to speak. When he did, their love flowered.

They traveled across Svimohzia until they reached the shore where he secured passage for them to Mezh-Vowmi Isle. Sadly, both succumbed to the Rotting Death, only shortly after bearing their first child. The cleric who tried to help them was Razhan, who was then first coming to Zha-nehzmish to serve the Home Foundation. He has cared for their child ever since. Hamaka knows little about her parents, and only what Razhan has told her. The tragedy of her parents’ demise encouraged her to stay and devote her life to the Home Foundation.

She works through the church to instill racial tolerance toward the savages of the Vohven Jungle and halt their exploitation. She has had few victories, but through her acts, she has succeeded in reducing bigotry.
