REDVOX "VINNY" ABRAMO - cis male - goat-bat hybrid - harbinger

A few days ago, when Vox had held his first official meeting for the Halls as a whole, the hybrid had promised that sometime soon he would hold a class on the pantheon and all of the gods within it. The class was important, since the pantheon influenced so many different aspects of the Halls and their way of life, as well a being one of the central things one of the ranks – the Priest – had to worry about. It felt dreadfully odd being without a priest for the moment, like the entire group was in for some sort of grand misfortune if they didn't select a priest soon. Although there was a good chance that feeling was just a result of him being paranoid, rather than anything actually looming over them. Either way, it would be beneficial for everyone within the group to know about the pantheon that he and so many others – mainly other remnants of the Halls – worshipped to and respected. So, it had taken a little bit of doing in order to get all of the supplies for the class, but he had done it, and gathered everything near the town hall, figuring that the second most central building would be as good a place as any to host such a class. He didn't want to have it going on in the lobby or near the front of the Fortress, since it would then probably intrude quite a bit more upon people's lives, and he didn't want to force anyone to attend the class just by virtue of it being in their way. After all, the gods would want people to voluntarily be interested in their practices and what they ruled over, not forcibly shoved into a role they didn't enjoy.

So, Vox had set up small replicas of each of the shrines to the 10 gods that made up the Halls Pantheon, lining them up in a row behind him and draping their holy symbols around the necks of the shrines. Once that was set up, he grabbed a few of his old journals and notes on the pantheon and what they represented, keeping them handy just in case. Once he had gathered everything, he sat down in front of the line of mini shrines and glanced around, taking in the bright day – perhaps the last one before winter truly started and they had snow beating down their door every day – before calling out loudly, "'Ey! If anybody wants ta learn about th'pantheon of the Halls, then come over here and sit down in front of me! I'm gonna teach everythin' I was taught since I was just a little one, 'n' also answer any questions people may have." When the harbinger had first been born to his loving mother and father, they had both not only taught him about their respective gods that they followed, but also all of the gods as a whole. Vinny aspired to do the same now, teaching about all of them despite being a pretty devout follower of Bertille. There were certain gods he knew less about than others, but hopefully there wouldn't be too many huge gaps in knowledge. If he was lucky, then Cottontail would also show up to this little lesson, and could help him out when he got to teaching about Sacchin.
