Rhiannon The Healer

[Dept of PMM Artists & things]

Almost identical to her mother, Rhiannon often stayed close to her. As soon as Rhiannon could toddle, she followed her mother through the herb garden and learned the names and properties of the herbs there. After her mother's death, Rhiannon assumed the queen's role in the castle. She bandaged wounds, healed fevers, and comforted those she could do nothing for.

Rhiannon gathered the greatest healers to the city of Oberon in order to train other healers to be sent out on the field of battle with the soldiers. Whenever Bruna ventured into battle, Rhiannon was at her side, preparing to save as many lives as possible. It was on a field of battle, when Bruna was gravely wounded and Rhiannon had exhausted her supply of medicines, that the healer turned to the gods for assistance. Eir responded and infused Rhiannon with divine power. Bruna's wound healed before the startled eyes of the army, giving them renewed faith in their battle.

Shortly before the Flame attack on the city of Oberon, a deadly plague swept through the population. Striking with swift and devastating accuracy, the plague nearly halved the Oberonian army within three weeks. Using every skill at her disposal, Rhiannon worked ceaselessly to find a cure for the disease. Eventually, she discovered its cause: food and water poisoned by her sister Karisan. Rhiannon determined the poisoning agent and produced a cure before confronting her sister. When finally confronted, Karisan attacked Rhiannon with powers granted to her by the Flame. Badb and Brigit found Rhiannon's bruised and broken body in Karisan's chambers. Rhiannon died in Brigit's arms.
