Feats

Linguist (adv)
This feat allows you to speak enough arcana, dwarven, elven, gnomish, gnoll, goblin, orcish, and other standard humanoid languages to comprehend enough of what most other humanoids are saying or screaming during battle.

Description

Physical Description
Elistheren is a rather cadaverous vision of a holy one, for it has trucked with death and dark places for so long, it must have been altered by the experience. Gone is the glow of light, and instead there's only whispers and cobwebs. Frequent attempts at ritiual sacrification will mar Elistheren's skin with constantly healing scars- the body of the Holy One repairs the damage over time.
Mannerisms Description
Elistheren's first "Dead God" was the Spiderqueen, and something in the Spiderqueen's nature has impacted its movement- Elistheren crawls across the world like a spider.
Personal (non-Icon) Goals
Revive the worship of dead and forgotten gods, gods that have been lost to time, and worship them- until someone else can be found to carry the worship forward.
Action Heuristic (c.f., alignment)
The acquisition of knowledge is a goal in itself, and knowledge itself is a weapon- like a weapon, it can neither be good or evil itself, but only in its application.
Religion
Primarily worships Vili, the Spiderqueen of the extinct Bilikishi tribe (which practiced ritual scarification as part of its worship spiders/scars), Epthis (goddess of the space between two pages of a book and writing backwards in mirrors) and Kstilish (a god whose only known myth says he hated trees- hatred trees/shrubs).
Family, hometown, city/region of origin?
Elistheren's father was a Deacon of the Cathedral. Frustrated with what he saw as a decadent and misguided world outside of the Cathedral's walls, he ventured into the hinterlands to bring the light of the Priestess into the world.
Heretics of the Lich King weren't terribly fond of that. They killed him, and attempted to turn his corpse into an undead servant. Elistheren sprung from the corpse in a holy explosion that killed the Heretics. Its father's escorts brought Elistheren back to the Cathedral to be raised as a cleric.
Elistheren participated in Church rites, rising to the rank of Cantor, its holy voice was often praised for its beauty and clarity. Elistheren did not care for the complicments, did not enjoy its time in the Cathedral, and generally felt the entire experience was hollow.
Elistheren left to wander the world, and experience life without religious guidance, a sort of "rumpsringa", as it were. It found life outside the Cathedral just as empty and just as meaningless. Drugs and drink provided little distraction. The fleshpots of the cities were even less interesting to Elistheren.
It fell in with some criminals, and then quickly fell out, and was left in the wilderness to die. Wandering through the jungle, Elistheren took shelter in a cave. Hearing sounds and whispers, Elistheren delved deeper into the cave, and became lost. After many days of wandering, parched, starving, and nearly blind in the darkness, Elistheren stumbled across a the remains of an underground village. These were the Bilikishi. There was a well. There were overgrown farms of cave fungus. Most important- there was a shrine. There were scrolls. Elistheren had rediscovered the Spider Queen.
