Atal

Also on file as: High Priest of the Temple of the Elder Ones

An innkeeper's son who, as a boy, watched Ulthar's cats settle an old score and grew up under the law the town passed the same week. He resurfaces as a young priest anxious enough about his master's ambitions to tag along rather than let him climb alone, and resurfaces once more, over three centuries later, as Ulthar's high priest — by then cautious enough about sharing what he knows that it reportedly takes a fair amount of moon-wine to get him talking to visiting dreamers about the road to Kadath.
