Heward is the Oerthian hero-god patron of bards and musicians.
History
Heward was originally a member of the Company of Seven, lead by then mortal Zagig Yragerne, and like most other members he achieved godhood as well.
Relations
Heward often travels by himself, but can occasionally be found in company of his former compatriots Zagyg, Murlynd, and Keoghtom. His travels also bring him into occasional contact with the gods Fharlaghn and Celestian, and he sometimes visits his distant relative Mordenkainen.
Appearance
Heward appears as a human male of uncertain age, both youthful and elderly at once. He is lively, athletic, strong, and quick, with rosy cheeks and a wrinked forehead. His bald head is offset by a small beard and luxurious mustache of sandy-brown. He tends to dress either shabbily, or in fine garb which is long out of style. However, if he wishes to go unnoticed, Heward can appear quite nondescript. He seldom carries weapons or wears armor. He often carries pitch pipes and tuning forks, which aid him in his travels to other planes.
