rook cleric

#cleric #corvid #fantasy #fantasyart #osr #art

the rook cleric stands on a hilltop, beyond which can be seen trees and mountains beneath a cloudy blue sky. the cleric wears blue patterned sleeveless robes and a metal mask that encases their head and neck, the visor of which stretches forwards into a beak-like point. an arrowhead hangs on a string around their neck. in their left hand, they hold a bell. their right hand clutches a wooden staff topped with a large metal emblem - two curved beaks point forward, and a feathered wing stretches backward.

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Yet another wake up call about the scale & cost of #climate risk. That’s why we urgently need a National Climate Resilience Plan with emphasis on local funding, nature based solutions & community resilience - pls sign & share petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk

Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable, Guardian investigation finds

"quarter of the typical energy bill in 2024 was profit. That is equivalent to every household paying £416 a year so other people can grow rich. The water industry tells a similar story. Almost a third of the average bill goes towards funding shareholder dividends and interest payments."
