Zamistra (concept)
Youngest of the Sons of Prohen, Zamistra is worshipped for his sharp mind rather than blade. Often depicted as a travelling bard, it is the role of a Sjalvolki to always welcome strangers into their home in case it may be Zamistra himself. He is credited as the first poet, a skill he taught the Sjalvolki people. Zamistra is often shown as a trickster, preferring cloak and dagger to the typical honest and headstrong solutions of the Sjalvolki. This puts him at odds with many of the virtues which his followers hold dear, making him particularly popular with those who fall outside the usual confines of Sjalvolki society such as merchants and Magi.
