Jorivik Seldar

Jorivik Seldar wears a threadbare tunic patched repeatedly, stained with herbs and dried blood. His face is lined with grime and fatigue, framed by short-cropped hair streaked with grey. He moves with the tired caution of someone who’s seen too much war but carries the quiet grace of a healer. His weary eyes scan the crowded room of the slum clinic, always alert for the faintest sign of suffering or threat.

Once a frontline healer in a brutal war, Jorivik witnessed horrors that left him haunted. After the war, he turned away from armies to tend the forgotten: the sick, the poor, and the desperate in the city's slums. His clinic became a haven, but a debt owed to a dangerous figure from his past trails him—an unspoken favor that could unravel everything he’s built if called in.

Jorivik speaks softly, choosing words that soothe or steady. He rarely raises his voice but his stern tone brooks no nonsense. Often found rubbing the back of his neck when anxious or tapping a worn wooden rosary when deep in thought, he trusts actions over promises. His patience is vast, but the shadow of old battles sometimes flickers as a sudden flinch or a clenched fist.

The dangerous contact demands Jorivik's aid in a risky scheme, forcing the cleric to choose between protecting his clinic or honoring his shadowy debt. A mysterious illness sweeps through the slum—was it natural, or engineered by enemies? Players might be asked to investigate and help treat victims, navigating the murky politics between Jorivik and the underworld figure threatening his peace.
