Role

Chapter 3

Kelei entered Brens life in midstream and he was struck by her confidence and strength of courage.
She led him on both adventure and misadventure that were never mundane and he grew to respect her
greatly. Her thoughts of the great ancient Baerinika and her struggle to understand how she would
grow in her life. Before he had met her, he had thought his fate would be to die against innumerable
enemies of the refuge. Unspeakably vile undead and the cold enslavers of Her, imprisoning her in their
stone, greed and lust for power. Bren simply kept going, determined to see the end out and hopefully
leave something behind to show for it. A renewed effort brought him the beginnings of mastery in
in his magic and a deepened sense of need, to hold onto the dream of Thar-Eris.
Bren had mourned Kelei's death. A shooting star, bright in its ascendancy through the flash of its
ending. He ventured out with others and continued his studies of the elements, becoming proficient
in them. One day the the Storm of the Ancient Ergush appeared before him. It was apparent that Bren
was not his first or even second choice, yet he proffered the leadership of the wardens upon Bren
who accepted with a wish to see the refuge replenished after many sad losses. Time marches on and
Fate marches with it. Who knows what might happen next?
