_The Last Brighter_ Male Kataigan Champion "Brighter" of [[Paleos]] ![[S_Paelos.png|32]] Raised by Belief --- Kaelorn walks the wastes wrapped in ash and prayer. His armor bears the sunburst sigil of Paelos, the light-god who has long since turned his face from this world. A Brighter—a paladin of radiant faith—Kaelorn watched his allies fall beneath the tide of shadows. Yet he did not falter. Did not weep. He walks now as a pilgrim, haunted but whole, seeking the Shard of Paelos said to slumber in the catacombs beneath [[Malantak]]. They say it glows still, faint as a candle drowned in pitch, guarded by the bones of heroes who died screaming. Kaelorn believes in redemption, in a world set right, in sun where there is none. But his faith is no fragile flower. It is a blade wrapped in cloth. He’ll cleave through blasphemy and ruin alike to reach the Shard. And if the Scarlet Eye must be destroyed to see the dawn again—then so be it.
