[b]Hal-Reftar[/b] Hal-Reftar breathed deep the aromas that came for the offerings, given to them all by their followers, of thanks for another bountiful year for growth, harvest and safety. 'These are a truly amazing race of people.' he thought to himself. 'Even with war and death upon them every year from other tribes and nations they still find time for peace, joy and love.' Hal looked over the festival in the town and all that was going on and was pleased to see so many people fulled with feelings of happiness. "My brothers and sisters what do you think of the endurance of our people's faith, is it not amazing to see such a fragile aspect of their lives lead them to such prosper?" Hal asked the company of other gods. This was an thing that he commonly was amazed at. Even with the tough trials they are put through they still bring good will offerings to them, the gods whom send the trials. --- A raven flew high in the sky over the town as the festivities went on below. The raven was marked about it's wings and shoulders with blue, but they were not paint it was his natural feather coloring. As it came close to the temple it stopped circling and and swooped in to land quite abruptly in the saddle of a white horse tied up outside the great structure. The horse did seem to mind the raven and the raven seemed to act as though the horse didn't exist. It crowed a few times as people got close and startled them away, but what made people so curious was the message tube fastened to the bird's leg.
