[edit] Description

Heward appears as a human male of uncertain age--both young and old 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.

[edit] Clergy and temples

Heward's holy symbol can be any musical instrument. His priests favor quarterstaves and daggers.

[edit] Heward's Handy Haversack

Heward's Handy Haversack is a magic item that appears as a leather backpack with a number of pouches. Each such pouch can hold far more material than it would appear to be capable of, as each one opens into a separate nondimensional space.

Heward is also known for his Mystical Organ and his fortifying bedroll, which helps a mage (or anyone else) get a good night's sleep.
