Karldrai

A silver Dragonborn from the Jivic tribe of Orslon, Karldrai was a trained hunter, turned adventurer.  

History

Born within the Jivic tribe, Karldrai spent much of his early years playing with the children of both villages, at some point meeting Monty and forming a friendship. However, as he got older he started to be trained in woodsmanship and hunting by his tribe, learning some basic nature magic along the way. When Charles captured the golden lion, Karldrai was who formulated the plan that allowed Monty to see it, even reciting the others. This earned him respect from the other tribesmen.  

Festival of Chaos

Karldrai became a full-fledged hunter of his tribe, though his skills with a bow were still less than ideal. He would mainly hunt medium prey, leading younger teams to hunt with his Rival Xanthia.   During the Spring Festival of 122 Fey, Karldrai was seen early being very vocal about his disagreement with his father about the Rodeo, an event he would come in fourth, though the only person to leave on his feet. He would also lose out to Xanthia in the archery contest, though would make up for it in tug of war, where he was the powerhouse of his team to win. During the kitten chase, he was one of the few people to spot the real one, and though he missed his first attempt, he was the one to hand the displacer kitten back to Mrs Braken. In the aftermath, Kaldrai became a more fierce hunter.  

Civil war and adventuring

During the attack on the Jivic tribe during the Rivell Civil war, Karldrai worked with the other hunters and warriors to push back the Basq invaders, rushing to Dernier Jivic to aid the village in its evacuation. Throughout the rest of the Civil War, he aided citizens throughout the duchy.   Feeling like he wasn't as useful as other tribe members in the aftermath he left the area to join an adventuring party. He was exploring much of the Gem Sea in the wake of the crisis, even being involved in the undead clearing in lower Frostmourn, where he found a pair of old gauntlets that increased his power here.   Joining the Fallen Heart adventuring party Kaldrai was brought on the expedition to the first sanctuary where his lack of care left him and his friends trapped for a day in the Sanctuary of the first ones. During the explorations rumours circled that Kaldrai was the one to solve a riddle. After the expedition returned home with a new pet Worg called Wolfie. He went back out to continue explore the world, even landing himself in a bit of trouble with Queen Eva while doing a job for the White city. Kaldrai eventually returned home at the request of Varo to help look into the Fey grove he had discovered with the others.   Upon learning about the attacks around the area of the haunted forest, Karldrai would led his childhood friends in discovering the monsters responsible. Acting as the front line with Wolfie Karldrai would temporarily get turned to stone, though a mage expedition in the area would correct this, allowing him to get the final blow on the packs leader. Though his group was awarded the completion for the Predators in Haunted Forest Job, Karldrai being granted an outcrop near Orslon, Karldrai did also receive a request to block from an unknown source for including Varo and Hefy in the job. This was found to have been a reasonable decision on Karldrai's allowing him to progress as normal.  

Shoosuva

Kaldrai started setting up a small fort for a future adventure's guild, forming the Golden Lion Party, even starting a relationship with Xanthia. He would continue adventuring with a focus on bounties. He would help Varo to clear an island monastery, his team setting up a base camp just after the beach. After clearing the island Kaldrai would go continue building his group up, and gaining prestige through the adventurer's guild. In 134 Fey at the prompting of Heffy, Kaldrai went on a hunt for Shoosuva, killing two in battle. He was given a Pair of Gauntlets made from the remains by Heffy. He would also take a silver lion with a golden mane as his personal Sigel.  

Sacrifice

In 139 Fey his old friend Monty asked the group to help find the source of the winds of magic. Leading his growing party to support the expedition, while Wolfie was left at the barracks, they travelled to Death valley in the Dragon Teeth mountains, going under the valley. While it is not clear exactly what happened, at some point the group was attacked by a large swarm of lighting eels, including a ancient one. Seeing the hopelessness of the battle, Kaldrai told the others to run, using all his strength to battle the swarm, using the ancient eel as a weapon. As the ancient eel finally died Kaldrai climbed atop it before collapsing from exhaustion, dying surrounded by dead enemies.   His body was brought back and buried in courtyard of his adventuring parties barracks, a statue of a large half lion, half dragon stands over the grave.
