Background

Kaelin was born in the New Vale but spent years serving as a sworn escort on the canal roads. They returned after the first whispers of the Frost Corruption, convinced the city needs witnesses as much as warriors.

Polished mail under a weathered cloak. A small saint-medallion wrapped in twine. Speaks plainly. Never raises their voice unless someone is about to die.

Canal-Runner turned Knight-Errant. Kaelin’s order was fractured after a scandal tied to missing relics and “unapproved” warding rites. Kaelin stayed when others fled, becoming a familiar face to dockworkers and shrine-keepers.

Motivations
