Omin
The Korathi priest of Kae — short even for an Arelene, mostly bald, blue-eyed, robed and sashed in white, wearing a jade Korathi pendant carved as Aon Omi at his throat. Thoughtful and fatherly, with a wandering attention that sometimes leaves visitors waiting for a sentence he has forgotten to finish. EL:EL:Ch 17
Known facts

The Shaod took good and bad alike; the disaster was no more a "curse" than a plague is.EL:EL:Ch 17
