The Keeper has skin the color of night and shadow, marked and pocked with a few scarred tales of his life among trees and violence. There's thick ragged circles of scar tissue around his neck and left shoulder, but the worst imperfection is along the width and breadth of his back. The man seems in fine form otherwise, his lean body built for speed over strength. His hair is actually a natural silver, but it is often dyed darker colors matching his skin tone. He keeps a charcoal stripe wiped across his eyes to help absorb the bright light of day.

In his youth Tyo'li was one of the quiet thinkers, a capable male who was content to let his more aggressive brothers and cousins squabble for note and rank with the females of the tribe while he watched and learned from their errors. His essence has not changed, though the world has hardened him more than a little; he is still overly fond of watching and planning before action, and more so of letting others take aforementioned action ''for'' him while he offers due course from distance.

In conversations the man tends towards blunt honesty and playful optimism, offering both criticism and compliment in equal passionate measure along with a healthy dose of subtle mischief. This is a man who seems to spend little time on open subtleties, preferring his casual conversations be handled the same way he handles most things-- brutally and systematically.

In rare intimate situations with his very few friends Tyo'li is playfully sadistic, fast with a joke, and capable of dispensing advice worthy of his age. Rare is the acquaintance that gets to such a point with the man, for few have the patience to get past the constant distance forced by an apparent lack of seriousness.

He is a firm believer in free will, only halfheartedly railing against the decisions of others if such goes against his better judgement. Tyo'li is also all for learning through harsh lessons, more fond of allowing failure to be achieved in order to aid in the understanding of shortcomings.

[[File:IconCombo.png|20px|]] On His Independent Time in the Black Shroud:

For a long time, anyone who had bothered to look up while walking the paths of the Black Shroud would find evidence of his passing, for the man called the stripped boughs of the great trees his home and still does on occasion. Tied supplies and small outposts in crook'd treelegs more often than not hold his mark, though usually far out of reach of casual passerby.

The Rainbow Fletcher's vigilante work alongside the ''[http://gabrielstillwell.wix.com/woodsreach Wood's Reach]'' was often unnoticed and unthanked, the quivermen who found his obsidian-tipped and rainbow-fletched arrows in encroaching marks only dubbing him as nuisance. He'd been no friend to them in any official capacity, as his bow found beasts and beastmen with the same unbiased fury as it did Gridanian loyalists and poachers. The Fletcher's motivations were unclear, though his offenses against the commonfolk of Gridania only seemed to occur when they delved too deep into the Sylphlands.

[[File:IconCombo.png|20px|]] Concerning His Employment and Eventual 'Resignation' From [http://neonoah.enjin.com/ Neo-NOAH]:

The primary reason his first silence in the Shroud had been because of his taking on the responsibilities of a research head for an organization called NEO-NOAH out of favor and obligation to his then-mate; a civilian outreach branch of an Allagan research corporation headed in Mor Dhona. It fostered and blossomed his intellectual side, and it was not long before the vigilante settled down and put his efforts towards something more permanent: knowledge, and the pursuits of. Soon he set down his bow and picked up tinkering and management, beginning to build upon the information he'd learned while travelling with his sisters in similar pursuits before the Fall.

This organization would prove ephemeral when its founder and the miqo'te's then-mate simply put down his title without warning. Tyo, his division in the company long harried through his growing reputation as a man who cared little for rules and regulations on study and aetheric limitations, was more than capable to pick it up. He blatantly refused, and eventually left the company altogether... taking with him much knowledge from his studies that most, if not all, would consider depraved and forbidden. The miqo'te has no knowings of what has become of the scholars of NEO-NOAH to this day, and when he occasionally passes by one he knows he does not ask after the organization's status.

[[File:IconCombo.png|20px|]] Concerning His Employment and Eventual 'Release' From [http://eldritchcollective.com/ The Eldritch Collective]

After going to ground in the Shroud once more and taking back to his natural ways, whispers of a new group that promised a safe haven for him to continue to foster the narrowing focus of his aetheric studies eventually made their way to his tufted ears. He sought, and found, and discovered what would become his home in swift order. The cloistered and almost obsessive mindset that the Collective nurtured in him swiftly brought to bear aspects of his person that would most likely better be left in Neo-NOAH. Supported, unquestioned and unjudged, Tyo'li's delves across the line of white magic would have seen him exiled from any civilized peerage... but the Collective was a place where ''all'' knowledge was considered sacred, even the dark kinds that the miqo'te was becoming adept with manipulating.

Tyo'li's somnus smoking habits bloomed here, the mage's initial reasoning of 'I do this to protect those I love' quickly lost and twisting into 'I do this to impress my Archmagister'. The change was subtle and not at all on accident; it was an ingeniously insidious indoctrination by the headmaster of the organization itself, and Tyo'li was only made conciously aware of the change with the intervention of a few of his dear friends from outside the Collective. It was they who pulled him, kicking and screaming, from the darkness he'd become so happy in. The transition was not painless, and for nearly two months he was a creature of smoldering anger that only very slowly ebbed from him with the cleansing of his indoctrination.

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''What He's Doing Today'''

Tyo'li has cut himself off for a long while from all peerage and people, staying to himself in the deep canopies of the East Shroud. If he can help it, he never touches the ground... though on occasion if something catches his interest he might decend from his sylphic bowers to investigate. He's currently keeping an eye on a growing tribe of Xaela that border the edges of the Sylphlands, watching and waiting to see if they bump heads with a traditional unit of Keepers that have claimed area near enough to compete over game.

With his focus once more on things of minor and mundane, the Keeper has once more begun to return to himself; more sylph than miqo'te, Tyo'li has finally stepped back into a night of stars instead of shadows, and has found the laughter in himself again. The Rainbow Fletcher prowls the Shroud once more.

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''Tropes:'''

'''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremist]''' In his mind, Tyo will always '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IDidWhatIHadToDo do what he has to do]''' in order to keep to his goals-- which, initially, are usually quite good-intentioned. For a very literal example, say.. Tyo'li would view throwing or cheating in a sparring match as a '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NecessarilyEvil necessary evil]''' if the resulting triumph would bring a positive turn to his goals of the time. A more common example would be his '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VigilanteMan unbiased culling]''' of anyone who delves too deep or cuts too far into the depths of the Black Shroud. He is not heartless, and is not blind or numb to the results of his choices.. however, his views are far-spanning and he constantly grits his teeth and bears the judgements of those whom he does not see eye-to-eye with.

'''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StepfordSmiler Stepford Smiler]''' The Keeper is doing his damndest to recover from a world that has '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheCutie broken him.]''' The smiles and laughter that are common with him are not forced or fake by any means; however, they are temporary, lasting only as long as he is around the people he's looking to cheer up. A borderline '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveMartyr martyr]''' for those he cares for, he can situationally become an '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExtremeDoormat extreme doormat]'''; instead of rising to a question or conflict he would instead just go along with accusation instead of explaining his reasonings. This has been the cause of great grief for him, as some choices he's made have permanantly bathed him in '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroWithBadPublicity negative light]''' for some people. But he smiles, grits his teeth, and trudges on.

[[File:TyoCombat.png|center|]]

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''General'''
A pacifist by nature, Tyo'li is the first to flee at the first sign of a ''true'' fight. He has the keenly strategic mind of a creature who has survived by watching for a moment's weakness to exploit: if he must engage, the man employs a mix of three distinct tactics in any given situation. The easiest way to disable the miqo'te in a serious combat situation is to close on him and keep him from channeling his formidable aetheric powers.

[[File:Ffxiv_12242015_152226.jpg|500px|right|]]

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Archer/ Machinist)'' His aim is impeccable, as he had been raised to hit anything from a distance since childhood. Be it arrow, bullet, throwing blade, or simple stone, the miqo'te is more than a moderate threat with ranged weaponries. More often than not, however, his arrows will be heavily enchanted; supplemented with insidious kinetic force and gravity enough to sink fletching-deep into solid wood.

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Astrologian)'' His aetherial mastery is something that has gotten him in trouble before, but it is still his greatest skillset; his rudimentary ability at conjury has faded from his dark choices in life, and he sought other means of magical aid to support his allies and occasionally control his enemies. He has become terrifyingly adept in augmenting his natural cleverness with a deadly repertoire of spells.

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Rogue, NOT Ninja)'' His skill with smallblades is his weakest practice, barely trained and only to have some minor defense if he's engaged in melee. However, this is a good compliment to his natural speed and agility, which permeates his other combative practices no matter his situation. It is usually showcased by the surgically-grafted and aetherically-charged razors under his already deadly claws, the only remaining throwback to the man's brutal and dark days in the Collective.

* '''[[E'nirah Tia]]'''- Alistair's adopted son and occasional bedmate, Tyo'li's interactions with the man are not friendly any longer. Civil, yes. Friendly.. no. The Keeper sees the Seeker as a lost cause, either unwilling or unable to find happiness on his own.

* "There's naught but ill to be had, consorting with the like of the Fletcher and the ''Wood's Reach'', friend. Cut your lead where it lies, and leave be."
* "Always looking for a fight, that cat! I see him check in from time to time to see if we have any new blood in here that he can play with."
* "Oh.. Tyo'li.. Yes, I heard of him. Truely, I wish he had come for us to be trained properly. Had the promise of a truely powerful conjurer, before.. well."
* "Used to see him around quite a bit, actually. Always nipping at the heels of a highlander the size of a mountain. Joined at the hip, really! Not sure where they've gotten to."
* "Bad news, that cat! Don't let the smiles fool you- lull you into a sense of safety, they will! Before you know it you'll be in next week, stripped and robbed and no clue of what you done!"
* "He's a Keeper. Archer. Who lives in the Shroud. Why aren't you reporting him to the Wailers? He's probably a twelvesdamned poacher."

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''Moderate Rumors'''

* There is apparently a 'call' that the sylphs of Little Solace can put out, to summon him at-will from anywhere in the Shroud.
* He once commanded a personnel division of Allagan researchers, implying an unsung skill for both management and scholastic pursuits.
* "Oh! Oh! Old Climbing One! Yes, this one knows him! Very strong, though Old Climbing One spends too much time with the Touched Ones for this one's liking."

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''Rare Rumors'''

* It's said that he once held enough leverage over a Warrior of Light to force them to a favor that all but shunned them from the Crystal's blessing..
* He holds a deep reverence for Ramuh.

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''PC Rumors'''

* "There's real heart in there, you know. Under all the shit-talking and the punching, there's a real sweetness hidden behind the moons in his eyes. Not that I like him, mind you. He's the worst." - [[Julien Fortier]]

*"He's a necromancer! He brought a man back from the dead! He needs to be put down!" - [[Kataani Hawkeye]]

*"If I'm honest, there are things about Tyo that always bothered me.. lying came naturally to him. It's just in his nature." - [[Alistair Fry]]

*"Unfriendly prick. I was just trying to be friends. And look in his hat. He has a chocobo in it!" - [[Haleine Charbonneau]]

*"He speaks and laughs and it feels all so easy and comfortable I forget he has seen twice more of the world than I have. Yet I hope to show him something new." - [[Kahn'a Ohditra]]

*"You know... despite our bloody past I can't help but look upon him now with a smile. He's still a bloody git at times though." - [[Kraz Axrial]]

*"He's been cooperative yes, but only just so. I admire free will, but he's been allowed to run unchecked..." - [[Zalitai Dalamiq]]

*"It is inevitable. That is the nature of my relationship with Tyo. He will push me and turn my anger towards him, and I will give in to the temptation. The cycle will continue. We will always be the darkness in each other." [[Zailin Kirr]]

[[File:TyoBackground.png|center|]]

Tyo'li would be hard pressed to tell you anything between the Calamity five years past and today; surely he must have been somewhere, doing something, but some strange force has either blocked or disrupted his mind to such things. He has ceased to question this.

[[File:2152018.jpg|left|350px|]]

For his young, adolescent, and second decade of life, he had kin and kine. His clan was less of a family and more of a bandit camp, stationed in the outskirts of the East Shroud. There were at least six sons to the clan, and so Tyo was borne and bred within a very competitive group; he had a distinct lack of the trait, however, and was happy to watch the posturing of his cousins instead of partaking in it himself. His parents raised his kit sisters and him in the same mien, as poachers and unwelcome presences under the trees.

Absolutely average, save for his uncanny ability to conjure a fair wind to aim his arrows, Tyo'li eventually set out on his own, following his much stronger sisters and cousin northwards in pursuit of new fortunes. He was content to follow and help as he could, though he had very little practical skills. Aside from being one of the most virile males among the clan, he had little use to his family aside from breeding stock.

Npah, the leader of their little offshoot tribe, had a fascination with the Allagan rumors of history, and had led her 'family' on a march to uncover the Tomb of Xande... The Calamity struck all of them hard, for they were cowering in a series of caves in Brittlebark when Dalamund fell. Tyo would be able to say neither how he survived, or how he 'awoke' back in the Shroud almost five years later-- (the Sylphlands' borders, to be exact)-- and knows only the subject makes him feel extremely 'weird'. Alone, lost, and still used to others fending for him, the man first rushed to old places of refuge. He only found a world he did not recognize.

The man managed well enough on his own to at least garner interest from a few other adventuring types. It was no twist of fate that both were female miqo'te, and that he was well into his prime breeding age. Eager at the prospect of starting a new life, Tyo'li played the proud protector of his new 'wives' on a long trek of their leading. It was across the sea that he realized his error, when he came upon them deep in the heart of La Noscea in a home they three had made for themselves after being sent away for the replenishing of supplies; the lasses were less interested in starting a new clan with ''him'' ...than they were with ''each other.''

It was that first night, when the dissillusioned miqo'te man was at his lowest and most desperate, that the dreams finally began. Dreams of a great weapon that he would wield, an instrument that would both bind him, and break him.. Only time shall reveal the sooth or shame of such, however, as he has yet to grasp such a thing or put stock in such dreams, at all. After all, it was the next morning that the Highlander man ''E'datih'' walked into his home and taught him how to punch rocks; Tyo hasn't looked back, and it is very likely that whatever 'prophetic dream' he had during that time was false... or he was turned from it.

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''General'''
A pacifist by nature, Tyo'li is the first to flee at the first sign of a ''true'' fight. He has the keenly strategic mind of a creature who has survived by watching for a moment's weakness to exploit: if he must engage, the man employs a mix of three distinct tactics in any given situation. The easiest way to disable the miqo'te in a serious combat situation is to close on him and keep him from channeling his formidable aetheric powers.

[[File:Ffxiv_12242015_152226.jpg|500px|right|]]

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Archer/ Machinist)'' His aim is impeccable, as he had been raised to hit anything from a distance since childhood. Be it arrow, bullet, throwing blade, or simple stone, the miqo'te is more than a moderate threat with ranged weaponries. More often than not, however, his arrows will be heavily enchanted; supplemented with insidious kinetic force and gravity enough to sink fletching-deep into solid wood.

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Astrologian)'' His aetherial mastery is something that has gotten him in trouble before, but it is still his greatest skillset; his rudimentary ability at conjury has faded from his dark choices in life, and he sought other means of magical aid to support his allies and occasionally control his enemies. He has become terrifyingly adept in augmenting his natural cleverness with a deadly repertoire of spells.

[[File:IconBlue.png|10px|]] ''(Rogue, NOT Ninja)'' His skill with smallblades is his weakest practice, barely trained and only to have some minor defense if he's engaged in melee. However, this is a good compliment to his natural speed and agility, which permeates his other combative practices no matter his situation. It is usually showcased by the surgically-grafted and aetherically-charged razors under his already deadly claws, the only remaining throwback to the man's brutal and dark days in the Collective.

[[File:TyoBackground.png|center|]]

Tyo'li would be hard pressed to tell you anything between the Calamity five years past and today; surely he must have been somewhere, doing something, but some strange force has either blocked or disrupted his mind to such things. He has ceased to question this.

[[File:2152018.jpg|left|350px|]]

For his young, adolescent, and second decade of life, he had kin and kine. His clan was less of a family and more of a bandit camp, stationed in the outskirts of the East Shroud. There were at least six sons to the clan, and so Tyo was borne and bred within a very competitive group; he had a distinct lack of the trait, however, and was happy to watch the posturing of his cousins instead of partaking in it himself. His parents raised his kit sisters and him in the same mien, as poachers and unwelcome presences under the trees.

Absolutely average, save for his uncanny ability to conjure a fair wind to aim his arrows, Tyo'li eventually set out on his own, following his much stronger sisters and cousin northwards in pursuit of new fortunes. He was content to follow and help as he could, though he had very little practical skills. Aside from being one of the most virile males among the clan, he had little use to his family aside from breeding stock.

Npah, the leader of their little offshoot tribe, had a fascination with the Allagan rumors of history, and had led her 'family' on a march to uncover the Tomb of Xande... The Calamity struck all of them hard, for they were cowering in a series of caves in Brittlebark when Dalamund fell. Tyo would be able to say neither how he survived, or how he 'awoke' back in the Shroud almost five years later-- (the Sylphlands' borders, to be exact)-- and knows only the subject makes him feel extremely 'weird'. Alone, lost, and still used to others fending for him, the man first rushed to old places of refuge. He only found a world he did not recognize.

The man managed well enough on his own to at least garner interest from a few other adventuring types. It was no twist of fate that both were female miqo'te, and that he was well into his prime breeding age. Eager at the prospect of starting a new life, Tyo'li played the proud protector of his new 'wives' on a long trek of their leading. It was across the sea that he realized his error, when he came upon them deep in the heart of La Noscea in a home they three had made for themselves after being sent away for the replenishing of supplies; the lasses were less interested in starting a new clan with ''him'' ...than they were with ''each other.''

It was that first night, when the dissillusioned miqo'te man was at his lowest and most desperate, that the dreams finally began. Dreams of a great weapon that he would wield, an instrument that would both bind him, and break him.. Only time shall reveal the sooth or shame of such, however, as he has yet to grasp such a thing or put stock in such dreams, at all. After all, it was the next morning that the Highlander man ''E'datih'' walked into his home and taught him how to punch rocks; Tyo hasn't looked back, and it is very likely that whatever 'prophetic dream' he had during that time was false... or he was turned from it.

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]]'''Appearance'''

''This black-scale Au Ra has olive skin, mottled in interesting patterns around the areas that fade into the glossy black scales that cover much of his vital areas. He doesn't have any scars that the casual eye can see, and his tall frame strains to heights just below seven fulms. The Qalli is broad of shoulder, hinting at the great strength hidden in his upper body. Unknown to most, his form is riddled with various piercings and colorful art inked into his flesh.''

[[File:Ffxiv 06212016 185427.png|600px|center]]

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''Personality'''

Qarajin ( Kara-'''JEEN''' ) has been called a few things. Quiet. Polite. Stoic. Shy. He does tend to think carefully before he speaks; the fact that 'speaking' instead of 'singing' being difficult for him aside, the Au Ra man is very careful not to offend at all times. Even though the often-outgoing ways of Eorzean culture constantly leaves him feeling mentally overwhelmed, he combats it with a deep-set sense of honor and chivalry that can easily be manipulated into anger.. even with his extreme self-control.

In conversation, any southern fool would be able to notice the intensely Othardian overtones of his low tenor. When he chooses to speak more than three words, there is without fail a cadence and rhythm to his statements; even though he has managed to subvert the deep-ingrained Qalli habit of singing instead of speaking, there is still a sense of music in every sentence. Qara is someone who isn't too easily rubbed the wrong way, but if he dislikes the person who is speaking to him you can bet they'll know it.

In situations of intimacy ( whether it be a simple private conversation or a more candid meeting of a close friend ) a person might even tempt a smile from the stone-faced black-scale. If Qarajin is ''really'' comfortable, he might even let his singing voice free, though once someone gets him started it's hard to get him to bottle that up again.

The black-scale is very witty ( though he usually keeps it to himself ), jealous, and maybe a bit too passive for his own good. Qarajin is a man who has a deep-set belief in self-respect and honor, however: he is not a selfish creature, but neither is he a man who lacks the strength to stand up for his code should he be pushed to test it. Everything he does he will attempt to do with the methodical attention of someone who is obsessed with perfection.

[[File:JUN-12.png|450px|left]]

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''What He's Doing Today'''

Qarajin has lent his services to an honorable band of people whose aims are to offer aid and succor to those less fortunate. This calling resonates strongly with the man, who himself shamelessly offers his own aid and guidance wherever it might be needed. However, his longstanding locale choice of Ul'dah has given him the modus operandi of looking for streetwalkers to attempt to offer quality of life improvements to; this leads many to assume he is simply a whoremonger, when in truth he takes physical relations very somberly. The shaman has been slowly and laboriously teaching himself to read and write in Eorzean, though he doesn't keep up with it enough to be even remotely proficient. The au ra has also been indulging his curiosities where whimsy takes him..

[[File:IconCombo.png|30px|]] '''Tropes:'''

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpockSpeak Spock Speak] : The Qalli are a people used to singing communication: forcing himself to subdue this, Qarajin's association of emotional cues from musical notation leaves his 'speaking' voice very dull and monotone in comparison. He simply has great difficulty translating vocal patterns into emotional reaction.

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DissonantSerenity Dissonant Serenity] : Qarajin keeps his polite and calm demeanor in close to all situations; he will ever be the calm eye of the storm.

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheStoic The Stoic] / [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhenSheSmiles?from=Main.WhenHeSmiles When he Smiles] : This is an easy misinterpritation of the man's personality. His neutral way of speaking is a side-effect, and so when he does show facial emotion it usually takes people by surprise.

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarker] : Qarajin is gifted with wit, and can calmly heave scathing insult without so much as lifting a brow. Because of this, it's sometimes hard to tell if he's actually upset or just throwing salt.

[[File:TyoCombat.png|center|]]

[[File:Edgelord_2_Nercali.jpg|right|450px]]

As a shaman, Qarajin's responsibilities were not primarily combat-oriented; his skills ran more along the lines of divination, reading the weather, and providing advice and guidance based on the natural world around him. The large blackscale is hardly defenseless, however his tactics change widely depending on the elemental balance of his surroundings. Often he is seen without martial weapon, though in his hands a simple wooden stave becomes a deadly device.

The Au Ra will shift his elemental aspect based on his location. Pushed into an offensive need, the shaman has no less than the world itself at his call. He has been known to hew the raw stone of the ground into weapon and wall; to pull thunder and lightning from the air to heave and stun. Some have seen him weave the very air itself into invisible forces that cut and carry; still others claim he can command that raw powers of fire and water to do bidding both martial and mundane. Still, each elemental aspect has its specific strengths and weaknesses, and a good look at the stance the shaman might be holding before a fight breaks out can give clues as to what he's intending to do.

Qarajin does not have any tactics that are predictable; every situation is different, though there are distinct constants with each of his elemental stances. If the shaman is crushing his enemies in deadly stone prisons, it is very likely that the blackscale is nearly immobile and grounded in place. Should the man be bending raw cuts of lightning, he will more often than not be found at a great distance, heaving arrows of thunder at targets most unfortunate. Is he spinning out great scythes of aspected air? Keep your eyes high: the shaman is most likely highly mobile, riding the air itself above a fight. None yet have borne witness to the shaman conjuring water or fire: such tactics are lost to knowing of him yet.

Should Qarajin be, at any time, lacking in his ability to heave elemental martial arts, the man will fall back onto his staff: he is most comfortable with one his size, which would leave something about 7 fulms long as his best weight. Such a huge weapon, swung with practiced force, has enough blunt impact to shatter bone.

[[Kulain Qalli]] : A blackscale shaman of his own people, Qarajin enjoys her company and her wisdom. The song she sings is a breath of fresh air to him in this southern, emotionless people, and he considers her close enough to offer aid without reservation.
