Sleeping Sparrow

SleepingSparrow, more commonly known as just Sparrow, is the head of the Kingdom of Aurea’s Ministry of Law, Culture, and Records. She lives in the Old Architect’s House, east of the Capital of New Aurea and West of Gol. Humble and not particularly wealthy or skilled in battle, Sparrow has had to find other ways to carve out her own role in the Kingdom, and perhaps one day on the international stage of Eldham.

Early Life
She once lived in the lands far east of Eldham, living in a village of scholars. The scholar village had produced many sagious scholars who detailed the histories and religions of the lands far east. Sadly, her village was destroyed, burned by raiders and looted. She fled westward, following the river that eventually led her to the far eastern outreaches of Aurea. Sparrow arrived in the Kingdom of Aurea poor and penniless. Completely ignorant to the many great nations and cultures of Eldham, Sparrow was hoping for a quiet new life away from the plights of war that had destroyed her home.

Arrival to Aurea
Sparrow fled westward from her homeland, following the river that eventually led her to the far eastern outreaches of Aurea. Sparrow arrived in the Kingdom of Aurea poor and penniless. Completely ignorant to the many great nations and cultures of Eldham, Sparrow was hoping for a quiet new life away from the plights of war that had destroyed her home.

The Queen kindly took her in and provided a place to stay, and Sparrow quickly grew fond of her new friends and neighbors in Aurea. She loves the scenic Morikomi Mountains and the liveliness of New Aurea’s city streets.

Sparrow settled into the abandoned home of “The Architect", remodeling it to make it her own home. She began cultivating small cattle, poultry, and sugarcane farms around it to make books for the library and food for the Shamans. She also constructed the Morikomi Tunnel under the mountains to allow travelers to travel east from the city towards Gol and the other eastern lands of Aurea. She hopes to continue construction of roads, bridges, and tunnels to better connect all of the Aurean Kingdom.

Aurean Minister of Law Culture and Records
Wanting to make herself useful to the Kingdom, Sparrow started documenting the history of the land she now called home. She traveled all over Aurea’s lands writing the histories of abandoned settlements and long forgotten governors and mayors, hoping to one day restore these old towns. The Queen took notice, and appointed Sparrow to the Ministry of Law, Culture, and Records, where Sparrow has served since. She is greatly anticipating the construction of the city’s new library. The library will keep the legacy of the Aurean Kingdom protected and demonstrate to all of Eldham the strength of Aurea.

As Minister of Law, Culture, and Records, she has served on the Queen’s council. She takes meeting notes and has assisted in gathering materials for construction projects, as well as keeping up the Wiki pages of the Kingdom and keeping historical records of all that has changed over the years.

Morikomi Shamanism
Sparrow is the founder and High Shaman of Morikomi Shamanism. Her work as the high shaman includes the writing of religious texts, ceremonial prophecy readings, and collaboration with allies in the Dryad Coalition. Her Shamanistic leadership is the focused on growing the cultural wealth of the Aurean kingdom.
