Emlyn the Gray is 60 years old,<br />

gaunt, with white hair and long white<br />

beard, and quite feeble in appearance.<br />

An adventurer for many years,<br />

Emlyn was obsessed with adding<br />

spells to his spell books. As he grew<br />

older, he retired, and for many years<br />

taught magic in a centaur academy.<br />

He learned the languages <strong>of</strong> the gold<br />

dragon and the ki-rin to add to his<br />

store <strong>of</strong> magical lore. But the war with<br />

Vaasa destroyed the school, and he<br />

was forced to take up his staff and<br />

return to the adventuring life—which<br />

he hates. He is looking for a new place<br />

to settle down, and has taken on<br />

Gabrielle, daughter <strong>of</strong> the baker in<br />

the village <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bloodstone</strong>, as an<br />

apprentice (she has hopes <strong>of</strong> being<br />

more). He is absent-minded, pedantic,<br />

and complains constantly.<br />

As Master <strong>of</strong> Spring, Kane was the<br />

second-highest ranking monk <strong>of</strong> his<br />

order. Although he had long since<br />

90<br />

acquired the experience needed to<br />

challenge the Grand Master <strong>of</strong><br />

Flowers for the leadership <strong>of</strong> the<br />

order, he refrained from doing so out<br />

<strong>of</strong> respect for his venerated master.<br />

Instead, he resigned from the order,<br />

and another Master <strong>of</strong> Spring was<br />

appointed to take his place. Kane<br />

took a vow <strong>of</strong> poverty and set out into<br />

the world.<br />

Kane meditates at least four hours<br />

each day and practices his skills for<br />

another four. Whenever he needs<br />

food or other items, he takes the most<br />

menial jobs he can find, preferably<br />

involving hard physical labor. This<br />

preserves his sense <strong>of</strong> connection with<br />

the world. He is 60 years old, but<br />

looks 20 years younger. He is wiry,<br />

muscular, and very thin, and dresses<br />

in simple rags, as befits an ascetic.<br />

He remains in <strong>Bloodstone</strong> for as<br />

long as he is needed, but refuses<br />

money, titles, magical items, and<br />

even a ro<strong>of</strong> over his head.
