Folk of the Rasanach Village 

Dardina, Priestess of Ernalda 

Dardina is a Priestess of the Earth Goddess Ernalda and leads a scattered but bountiful flock of followers in the wooded highlands of western Tarsh. She is also the local midwife, healer and wise woman and though she lives in the village of Rasanach she cares for the faithful in several other hamlets.  She is also the matriarch of her own extended family with five children and numerous grand and great grandchildren.

She wears the traditional three layered dress of Ernalda but her garb is more practical than ornate. She preparing to make an offering to the goddess as she asks for a good crops and a bountiful harvest.  The three runes on her face are earth, fertility and harmony; unsurprisingly the runes of Ernalda. Her sickle has been purified for the sacrifice and was forged locally with copper from the nearby Hydra Hills mines.
