Ember Firestorm, Fire Genasi Wizard
Meet Rake, a 777-year-old Shadar-kai elf. His parents were murdered when he was young, leaving him in the care of his maternal grandfather.

This led him to Bethel and Barnabas. Will this elder elf scholar surrender to the truth of Adonai, or will his past catch up to him first?
Meet Filipina! She was just a young centaur when the other clans pulled off a coup against her father the War Chief. Coups in the clans of the north meant total annihilation of anyone who may hold rights of inheritance. She didn't even stop to mourn a good loving father. She grabbed her young cousin, and they fled as far as they could. Hungry and alone they ended up at a circus, then fighting in arenas. She became champion. That was a year ago. Today she is in a jail cell in Jericho with a shady halfling, an elderly elf and a human man who won't stop smiling. She has no idea what is next for her, but she really wishes that man would stop smiling. Watch for Heavenly Places 2: Solus Deus in 2024 to find out!
