Lost Cities Keeper Wiki


The Heks family is an Elvin family, who are experts at taking care of unicorns. The first one to have this position was Pelipa Heks, and it is currently in the hands of Timkin, Vika and Stina who live in Sterling Gables.

The Hekses have a very important social status, but they are considered unpleasant people by many other elves and are usually avoided. They also don't hesitate to criticize the Elvin Council and other members of the nobility. However, the Hekses are proud of their family name and try to up their social status.

The marriage of Timkin and Vika is suspicous, since Vika is an Empath and Timkin is Talentless, and such a pair is usually considered Bad Match. However, Timkin and Vika were on each other's match lists. Unconfirmed rumors suggest that Timkin's brother-in-law, who works in the Matchmaking Office, altered the records.

Because of their experience with unicorns, the Hekses were the ones to rehabilitate Greyfell, the alicorn when he was found a few decades ago. By that, they helped reset the Timeline to Extinction, which is why their family is well known among nobles. They have tried to get the responsibility to rehabilitate Silveny as well, but the Council decided to give that responsibility to Sophie Foster, due to her ability to telepathically communicate with the alicorn. However, the Hekses had a crucial role in saving the lives of Silveny and her two newborns, Luna and Wynn, during Silveny's early labor in Flashback.

Known Members[]

Stina Destry Heks[]
