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.
