Sheer

Sheer is a white goshawk and the bringer of the prophecy of the Te'pi to Dirgen the Seer. Sheer and his brother, Screech, lived on the unnamed eastern island alongside the coast of Corvid, visiting the six kingdoms only to bring prophecies to the kings and queens who rule them. For many years neither goshawk had visited the Land until Sheer passed on the prophecy to Dirgen in Aisith, bringing with him another false prophecy in order to bring Shadyk's attention upon Laat, the Savior as foretold in the Te'pi.

It is speculated that Sheer and Screech are both several hundred years old. It is said that Sheer was the first to hear of the Te'pi from the Goddess and the first to pass it on. Dirgen claims that the last raptor with knowledge of the Te'pi died before he could pass on the prophecy, making it Sheer's responsibility to make sure it reached Dirgen before it came to fruition. After the prophecy was fulfilled and Laat became the king of Gyr, both Sheer and Screech disappeared, unable to be found in the six kingdoms. When Saygar travels from Gyr to the Other in search of the truth of Ieilae, he meets Sheer alone on the lonely Mountain of Tor, the original nesting place of Ieilae, and received knowledge about the falcon god's exile and the truth of the Cult of Ieilae.

It is said that Sheer, and his brother Screech, are related to the goshawk hero Lliot, who was part of the Four who banished Tor and the gyrfalcons from the Land.
