Orion's Description

Orion, a somewhat fat and shortish human, a priest of high rank serving Rikkli, goddess of the Sun and Light (and previously an equally devout priest of another sun-god, Darish). A quiet man and logical thinker, he plays a prominent role in every decision made by the party - yet his ultimate faithfulness is given to the Power he serves.

Here's what Nir has to say about Orion:

A short, rather fat priest of the Goddess Rikkli - goddess of the Sun, Light and the Soul - Orion devotes himself to bringing light everywhere (at least what he believes to be light).

Mastering both combat and prayers, Orion is a trustworthy friend and a deadly enemy. You will notice him by the large holy symbol carrying the sign of the Aikis - Rikkli's symbol, looking like Mho - an inverted Omega.

He also carries the Amulet of Tsuranve which embodies the powers of the Sun.

As a high priest (11th level in the hierarchy at the moment) of Rikkli, Orion is determined to guide the Fellowship of the Flying Paladin through critical moments according to Rikli's Way.

[30 Sep 1995]

You may be interested to compare this description of Orion with an old one (March 1993). It may be outdated - for one thing, at that stage Orion served another sun-god, Darish (his transition to Rikkli came as a realisation of the Divine Revolt and its consequences), for another, he was an undead creature ("the Bringer of Light to the Paths of the Dead", as the Frightful Thing would say), - but it is still very interesting. Please look in this document (look here to see the historic situation beyond this description).

In the recent Game of Role Playing, staged by the Timelord of the Tenth Layer, Orion chose to project himself as a warrior named Izormi, based on the real Izormi, the landlord of the Three Dwarves' Inn, Luwain's stepfather and apparently an important person in the (real) Fellowship's past and future (whichever of them comes first).
