Tortellini Shepard, sometimes called Our Shepard by worshippers, is a mysterious entity that is said to have come from beyond the stars. Some theologians posit that the Shepard was once one of the Great Old Ones, but came closer to the Material Plane at an unknown time. Tortellini Shepard currently resides in the Feywild, where it fashioned itself as an archfey. The "fey" who serve the Shepard are either its own creations (mostly elves who resemble the Shepard) or fey who freely chose to worship him.
The Tortellini Shepard appears as a human man, but it is obvious that its nature goes beyond species or gender. It has very short blond hair, thick black eyebrows and very sharp features. It also wears a suit of black armour with a strange symbol on it that resembles a a white N and a red right-angle. No one knows what this symbol means, but clerics of Tortellini speculate that it refers to the Shepard's home dimension.
Tortellini Shepard has no known relationships to other gods, not even other Archfey.
Tortellini has few worshippers, but many wood elf rangers pray to him for relief from the stress of hunting. He bestows gifts easily, usually in the form of calming herbs that spontaeously grow near his worshippers as they pray. This herb restores vitality, and causes feelings of extreme relaxation (restores the most recently used spell slot, but imposes disadvantage on Dexterity and Wisdom saves for 4 hours). Warlocks who take the Shepard as their patron will find that their body hair will be replaced by the strange herb, giving them a near-infinite supply (enough grows to smoke or eat every day at dawn. Once shaven off, the herb loses its magic after 10 minutes).
