Niav and Katrinelya are the current hierarchs of the Cult of Taal and Rhya in the far southern portions of the Reikwald Forest. Although the Cult does not recognise a single (or in this case, paired) leadership position, few can dispute the wisdom, power, and influence of these two. Both appear to be extremely old, yet move with the speed and grace of youngsters in their prime—it is rumoured they are actually Elves in disguise, spreading the beliefs of Taal and Rhya in forms Humans can understand.[1a]
