Splinter´s Band

Teleria and Sir Devon.

### Purpose

To find and retrieve a stash of lost books on higher magnetics vital for the defense of the Great Tree.

### Leader(s)

Splinter

Splinter and Teleria (and later their friends Isohar and Devon) were created as player characters for a role-playing session in the Guardians of Ga´Hoole background, shortly after the Siege of the Great Tree. The group of players took turns playing the protagonists and their enemies, Scylla´s Red Talons, from one session to the next.

## Description

After a slipgizzle called Rust found clues to the existence of a stash of books on higher magnetics, Teleria and Splinter took a leave-of-absence from the Great Tree to look for those vital assets in the defense against the Tytonic Union. Harried by Pure One patrols and desperate, they survived on their wits and the skills they had learned as Guardians-in-training. Later, they found friends in the Feral Owl Isohar and the knightly Guardian Sir Devon. Together, they retrieved the books and returned to a hero´s welcome at the Great Tree.

## Members

At the height of play, the band comprised four owls:

* **Splinter**, Northern Saw-whet Owl (*Aegolius acadicus*), leader; a tiny owl with a quick mind, great courage, and a natural gift of convincing other owls. Guardian-in-training and member of the Tracking Chaw.
* **Teleria**, Short-eared Owl (*Asio flammeus*), navigator; a gentle and book-loving owl who carried maps and an Other-made cardan compass. She was also proficient in healing. Guardian-in-training and member of the Navigation Chaw.
* **Isohar**, Turkoman Eagle Owl (*Bubo bubo omissus*), Feral Owl fighter; a savage owl who befriended Teleria and Splinter. Constantly bickering with Devon.
* **Sir Devon**, Great Horned Owl (*Bubo virginianus*), fighter; honourable and somewhat stiff, sent by Queen Barran to rescue Teleria and Splinter. Oath-sworn Guardian and member of the Search-and-rescue Chaw.

## Minor Characters

In their quest, the young owls were aided by several friends.

* **Rust**, Eastern Screech-Owl (Megascops asio), a slipgizzle who worked hard to dirsrupt and distract the Pure One patrols from the pursuit of Teleria and Splinter. He was Splinter´s ryb with the short blade.
* **Siobhan (Ashkin)**, Lesser Sooty Owl (Tyto multipunctata), Teleria´s best friend and former press-ganged member of the Pure Ones. Sister to Dustscrape, who was in the kill-team that tried to catch Splinter and Teleria. She helped Teleria research the possible location of the Lost Books.
* **Kibble**, Northern Saw-whet Owl (*Aegolius acadicus*), a light-hearted owl born lucky. Splinter´s brother.
* **Cavain (Dustscrape)**, Lesser Sooty Owl (Tyto multipunctata), a Red Talon tracker who did not report Teleria and Splinter when he discovered them. Later killed by Isohar and buried by the young owls.
* **Maroon**, Tawny Owl (Strix aluco), a Glauxian Brother who came to Isohar´s aid when he was tortured and maimed by the Pure Ones.
* **Gristle**, Northern Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium californicum), formation-combat ryb at the Great Tree, leader of the rescue sortie when Teleria, Devon and Splinter came home.
