Golden Feather/Owls Tower
Owls’ tower
Owl Priests:
They are the bringers of the word. They travel from town to town to tell the tales of the Golden Feather to everyone. They are the bright future of the Golden Feather. But not all of them travel, some stay in the temples to tell there tales there, to keep the temples clean and to teach there skills to new novices. They start as a novice in the church, where they wear a white tunic with leggings. This robe is kept on it’s place around the waist with a grey belt. When the novices are ready to become a priest then they lay away there white tunic and start to wear the grey tunic of a priest. The time of education for a novice is as long as the bronze feather think it takes. Some are done in a few years, other need to train for a decade.
They can easily be recognized by there clothing. They wear long grey trousers that reach to just above there feet. On there chest there can be found a white thin tunic with above that a thicker grey tunic with a big V shaped opening for the head so the white tunic can be seen. They grey Tunic is long and reaches below the waist. A silver dragon is visible on the front side of the tunic and a silver feather on the back. A twisted girdle keeps the tunic in place around the waist. This girdle is made out of leather and consists out of 3 leather straps twisted around each other. One is grey coloured, one is silver and the third is golden coloured. On top of this they wear a big thick long mantle. Again this mantle is grey coloured with a big silver feather on the back. It reaches just above the ground and has a big collar that comes up. The inside of the mantle is lighter coloured then the outside. On there heads they wear a big round hat with a small top in the middle of it. Around that top there is a small girdle, similar to the girdle around the waste. This hat varies in diameter, sometimes up to 1 meter. At there feet they wear some sturdy leather boots for long travels.
In there hands they carry a long stick, used to defend them selves if needed and to walk long distances. At there girdle they carry a small knife. Also for self defense, to use for eating and possibly cleaning a caught small animal on long trips.
