	Following Wilryn’s death, Keeper threw herself into her work for the Copper Mockingbirds. Keeper also took on a job as the city’s resident inventor, coming up with fixes or creations to help those who asked. She further honed her mechanical skills and [[rose]] through the ranks as the years went on. Keeper eventually acquired enough money from her jobs that it would have been easy for her to move out of the slums, but she chose to remain, perhaps because she couldn’t bear to part with her dad’s house. When Keeper became a “gold repairwoman” she was assigned to be part of a team that would rob the Ripplerun Manor; the [[halfling]] Ripplerun family basically ran Port Dagny and they were very much not to be trifled with. It had taken years for the Copper Mockingbirds to earn enough favors to be able to actually attempt robbing them. Since the higher ranked Mockingbirds specialized in obtaining magical items, the goal of this particular heist was to steal an object called the Sealing Crystal—an item said to be able to lock away a person’s memories. It was rumored that the Rippleruns had used the crystal to turn one of the few Port Dagny guards who wasn’t under their thumb into a blank canvas.

	Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven [[rogue]] named Jinera Redforge. Jinera impressed Keeper with her skills in stealth and tricking the unsuspecting while Keeper amazed Jinera with inventions of every sort and her knowledge of infiltration. Eventually, they came to talk about things that weren’t work related and encouraged each other to think of a future beyond the next immediate score. Jinera revealed that she had started stealing to care for her ailing [[mother]], but at some point realized that her mother would never love her no matter how much she did for her. As a result, she turned to stealing for herself and viewing others as a means to an end. Meeting Keeper was apparently the catalyst for her starting to leave this mindset behind. Keeper confided in her about how much she regretted her last words to her father: “I’m trying to help us eat and you’re just going to get yourself killed.” Within a year, Jinera and Keeper were in a relationship. Both of them were put on the Ripplerun heist.		Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven [[rogue]] named Jinera Redforge.

	Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame. On instinct, Keeper used a torch to carry the fire to the Gleamtree. The sentries barely acknowledged her as she held the flame to the tree where its colors shifted to a golden yellow. This was how Glimmerflame was truly made. Apparently, it wasn’t just Aiza’s essence—no, to truly become Glimmerflame, fire had to be kindled from mortal [[souls]] and then “sanctified” by being offered to Aiza. Somewhere deep down inside, Keeper felt sickened. On the outside, however, she was forced by Aiza to maintain the facade of an ever-pleasant barkeep. Keeper spent the next one hundred years preparing the souls of those who approached the Gleamtree to be transformed into Glimmerflame. At first, Keeper was unable to do much other than internally scream, thrash, and beg to be released while going about the motions of tending to the Shining Stamp and its guests. Eventually, perhaps because Aiza’s grip on her lessened or because Keeper herself adapted to the restraints of her punishment, Keeper began to spend her spare time tinkering with her wheelchair. She added compartments and adjustments to make it more combat capable: not because she anticipated any fights, but to keep herself occupied. Twelve noticed Keeper’s work on the chair and, about fifty years into her punishment, asked her to help build artillery for the sentries. Keeper agreed; this was what led her to become so good at making canons.		Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame.

	On the hundredth year anniversary of Keeper’s imprisonment, the war between gods reached its climax. There are no scholarly documents about the end of this great battle because no Calian scholars survived. Through some act of divine, infernal, or cosmic power, the entire land of Calian was pulled into the sea. Not only was the region subsumed by water, it was thoroughly wiped from the memories of everyone outside Calian. Keeper, likely through Aiza’s intervention, survived this incident and washed up on the shores of [[Amusa]]. She wasn’t entirely alone. In the days before what Keeper has come to call the Great Collapse, she began experimenting with a piece of Glimmerflame, using intricate arcane runes to see what could be achieved. Through these experiments, this piece gained sentience, and it washed up alongside her in Amusa. Keeper named the flame Cyra. Aiza’s grip on Keeper hadn’t faded. The goddess used Cyra to communicate information and orders to Keeper; primarily that Calian wasn’t completely beyond saving—it, along with its people and gods (including Aiza herself), was in a state of stasis. Aiza theorized that Calian could be saved through the power of her Glimmerflame. Rather than being snuffed out, the Glimmerflames radiating from the Gleamtree had escaped the Great Collapse. In their escape, something had drawn them to the very land where Keeper now was and, through Cyra, Aiza could sense that they lay somewhere in the wilds.

	When Keeper caught the Creeping Cough, her first instinct was to ask Jinera to marry her so she wouldn’t have any regrets if/when the sickness killed her. Jinera agreed and they held a two-person ceremony before signing the papers. After the wedding, Keeper got a tip about a potential cure for the Creeping Cough. According to an anonymous source acquired through Copper Mockingbird connections, ingesting a piece of Glimmerflame from the Gleamtree would purge the illness. Glimmerflame was the essence of Aiza—eternal gold flames that were cool to the touch but could cut through any darkness and purge any rot. The Gleamtree was a massive tree in the center of Calian that acted as the lifeblood of the land. It was apparently Aiza’s first creation. To cure herself, Keeper would have to steal from a goddess. She was willing to take her chances, so she bid her wife goodbye and set out.

She was willing to take her chances, so she bid her wife goodbye and set out.

	The journey to the center of Calian was hard at times, but Keeper spent the entire time coming up with a plan to get past Aiza’s sentries. Keeper was told by her source that the Gleamtree was surrounded by the Idris Lake and guarded by several specially crafted [[warforged]] who were programmed to drive away faithless intruders. Before arriving, Keeper read up on the Aizan faith and carved a wooden idol of Aiza to offer. She also bought a set of acolyte-like robes to wear. When she neared the Idris Lake, Keeper stumbled upon an inn called the Shining Stamp that seemed to draw her in. She met the innkeep, a half-orc, and struck up a conversation. Keeper noticed the half-orc was in a wheelchair, but didn’t think much of it. Something about the half-orc’s words twisted Keeper’s perceptions the more time she spent in the Shining Stamp. She would be lulled into games that were too slippery for her to grasp and told horrible stories that came to terrible life behind her eyelids. Not to mention the faint burning sensation she felt within her chest. Her stay at the inn was riddled with nightmares, but Keeper couldn’t muster the will to leave for a full week. On the eighth day, she finally dragged herself away from the Shining Stamp and crossed the lake, only to be immediately apprehended by sentries.

	When Keeper was more coherent, she realized she was chained and surrounded. The lead sentry, a hulking warforged with a fiery golden aura named Twelve, interrogated her about what her intentions were. Zone of Truth was cast on her to ensure she wouldn’t lie. Still being exhausted, she couldn’t will herself to fully overcome the spell, but was able to tell half-truths. Keeper told them she had prepared an idol offering for this occasion and was looking to obtain cleansing. Twelve decided that she would be allowed to remain for one hour before being escorted away. She would also, of course, be under heavy scrutiny the entire time. Keeper asked to be taken to the base of the Gleamtree so she could personally deposit her offering. Luckily, before being enthralled by the Shining Stamp, Keeper had deposited multiple sound emitters on the outskirts of the area. She stealthily pressed the trigger she had kept on her person as she approached the tree and they went off, immediately drawing the attention of the sentries. Keeper broke away and made a mad dash for the billows of Glimmerflame coming off the Gleamtree. Then everything went dark aside from the haunting sound of the half-orc’s laughter.

	== Languages ==		== Languages ==
	Keeper was raised in a mixed-[[race]] city by a gnome parent, which meant that she was taught to speak both [[Common]] and Gnomish as she grew up. She speaks both languages with ease but does favor Gnomish the slightest bit because it reminds her of her father. Sylvan is Keeper’s least favorite language of those she knows because she learned it during her time as the goddess Aiza’s prisoner. Keeper didn’t learn Sylvan in the traditional sense: it was branded into her mind when Aiza stripped her of her freedom and bound her in servitude to the Shining Stamp Inn. She avoids speaking it and even has a tendency to make sour expressions when she hears it spoken within her vicinity. Still, on occasion, Sylvan words make their way into her speech—usually when she’s zoning out.

	When Keeper woke up, she was back in the Shining Stamp, but this time she was sitting behind the bar in a wheelchair. She tried to stand, but her legs were utterly limp. As Keeper dealt with a pounding headache, a few fragmented memories returned to her. She remembered seeing the face of Aiza and feeling her wrath at being stolen from. Keeper also found that she couldn’t remember her name ~~or anything about her past~~. When she tried to think of what she was called, the only thing that came to mind was the title innkeeper; as such, she came to dub herself Keeper. Days passed and Keeper could not muster up the energy to venture far beyond the inn. Whenever she tried, a terrible compulsion to return would overcome her. It became clear that she was under imprisonment. When another traveler wandered near the Shining Stamp, Keeper could feel it at the edge of her mind, and she could feel herself reaching out to draw them toward her. The traveling human entered the inn and Keeper did to him what the half-orc had done to her: she spoke in ways that meddled with his mind, played dice and card games that he could never quite get the hang of, and told haunting stories she didn’t even know she knew. The entire time, she listened to him complain of feeling like he was burning on the inside, and she somehow knew she was preparing him for something awful.

	Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame. On instinct, Keeper used a torch to carry the fire to the Gleamtree. The sentries barely acknowledged her as she held the flame to the tree where its colors shifted to a golden yellow. This was how Glimmerflame was truly made. Apparently, it wasn’t just Aiza’s essence—no, to truly become Glimmerflame, fire had to be kindled from mortal souls and then “sanctified” by being offered to Aiza. Somewhere deep down inside, Keeper felt sickened. On the outside, however, she was forced by Aiza to maintain the facade of an ever-pleasant barkeep. Keeper spent the next one hundred years preparing the souls of those who approached the Gleamtree to be transformed into Glimmerflame. At first, Keeper was unable to do much other than internally scream, thrash, and beg to be released while going about the motions of tending to the Shining Stamp and its guests. Eventually, perhaps because Aiza’s grip on her lessened or because Keeper herself adapted to the restraints of her punishment, Keeper began to spend her spare time tinkering with her wheelchair. She added compartments and adjustments to make it more combat capable: not because she anticipated any fights, but to keep herself occupied. Twelve noticed Keeper’s work on the chair and, about fifty years into her punishment, asked her to help build artillery for the sentries. Keeper agreed; this was what led her to become so good at making canons.		Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame.

	== Personality ==		== Personality ==
			Once upon a time, Keeper was generally jovial and always wore a smile. Her time with the Copper Mockingbirds made her good at working people and always had a kind word prepared for anyone she spoke to. Nowadays, Keeper can be… less than pleasant at times. She is consumed by her own thoughts about various inventions and mechanical upgrades, which can lead her to ignore others or speak out of turn. Her bitterness towards deities and general lack of hope often leads to snarky comments that she plays off as being meaningless words from a random gnome. Keeper often talks to herself because her own voice was her only true companion during her imprisonment. She claims to simply enjoy the way she sounds. Keeper has a soft spot for orphans, though she encourages them to quickly develop a sense of independence because only oneself can truly be depended on. She genuinely enjoys brewing things.
	As a jovial person who wears an eternal smile, Keeper goes about her day-to-day life savoring the joy of tinkering with new equipment and infusions as well as trying out new alcoholic brews. Truly, she seems to have something for anyone or any situation. Her years spent working with the Copper Mockingbird division in Calian made her adept at working people and her time as the barkeep of the Shining Stamp Inn made her good at pleasing people. Keeper will subtly shift her persona to suit those around her and always makes sure that people she interacts with have their needs met. In her moments spent away from others, Keeper becomes a far more quiet and bitter person who calculates her interactions down to the t. She is capable of genuinely enjoying the company of others but is often so caught up in her own head that doing so is hard.

	Following Wilryn’s death, Keeper threw herself into her work for the Copper Mockingbirds. Keeper also took on a job as the city’s resident inventor, coming up with fixes or creations to help those who asked. She further honed her mechanical skills and rose through the ranks as the years went on. Keeper eventually acquired enough money from her jobs that it would have been easy for her to move out of the slums, but she chose to remain, perhaps because she couldn’t bear to part with her dad’s house. When Keeper became a “gold repairwoman” she was assigned to be part of a team that would rob the Ripplerun Manor; the halfling Ripplerun family basically ran Port Dagny and they were very much not to be trifled with. It had taken years for the Copper Mockingbirds to earn enough favors to be able to actually attempt robbing them. Since the higher ranked Mockingbirds specialized in obtaining magical items, the goal of this particular heist was to steal an object called the Sealing Crystal—an item said to be able to lock away a person’s memories. It was rumored that the Rippleruns had used the crystal to turn one of the few Port Dagny guards who wasn’t under their thumb into a blank canvas.

	Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven rogue named Jinera Redforge. Jinera impressed Keeper with her skills in stealth and tricking the unsuspecting while Keeper amazed Jinera with inventions of every sort and her knowledge of infiltration. Eventually, they came to talk about things that weren’t work related and encouraged each other to think of a future beyond the next immediate score. Jinera revealed that she had started stealing to care for her ailing mother, but at some point realized that her mother would never love her no matter how much she did for her. As a result, she turned to stealing for herself and viewing others as a means to an end. Meeting Keeper was apparently the catalyst for her starting to leave this mindset behind. Keeper confided in her about how much she regretted her last words to her father: “I’m trying to help us eat and you’re just going to get yourself killed.” Within a year, Jinera and Keeper were in a relationship. Both of them were put on the Ripplerun heist.		Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven rogue named Jinera Redforge.

	Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame. On instinct, Keeper used a torch to carry the fire to the Gleamtree. The sentries barely acknowledged her as she held the flame to the tree where its colors shifted to a golden yellow. This was how Glimmerflame was truly made. Apparently, it wasn’t just Aiza’s essence—no, to truly become Glimmerflame, fire had to be kindled from mortal souls and then “sanctified” by being offered to Aiza. Somewhere deep down inside, Keeper felt sickened. On the outside, however, she was forced by Aiza to maintain the facade of an ever-pleasant barkeep. Keeper spent the next one hundred years preparing the souls of those who approached the Gleamtree to be transformed into Glimmerflame. At first, Keeper was unable to do much other than internally scream, thrash, and beg to be released while going about the motions of tending to the Shining Stamp and its guests. Eventually, perhaps because Aiza’s grip on her lessened or because Keeper herself adapted to the restraints of her punishment, Keeper began to spend her spare time tinkering with her wheelchair. She added compartments and adjustments to make it more combat capable: not because she anticipated any fights, but to keep herself occupied. Twelve noticed Keeper’s work on the chair and, about fifty years into her punishment, asked her to help build artillery for the sentries. Keeper agreed; this was what led her to become so good at making canons.		Days later, during dinner, the man’s body burned away until nothing was left but a perfect bundle of flame.

	On the hundredth year anniversary of Keeper’s imprisonment, the war between gods reached its climax. There are no scholarly documents about the end of this great battle because no Calian scholars survived. Through some act of divine, infernal, or cosmic power, the entire land of Calian was pulled into the sea. Not only was the region subsumed by water, it was thoroughly wiped from the memories of everyone outside Calian. Keeper, likely through Aiza’s intervention, survived this incident and washed up on the shores of Amusa. She wasn’t entirely alone. In the days before what Keeper has come to call the Great Collapse, she began experimenting with a piece of Glimmerflame, using intricate arcane runes to see what could be achieved. Through these experiments, this piece gained sentience, and it washed up alongside her in Amusa. Keeper named the flame Cyra. Aiza’s grip on Keeper hadn’t faded. The goddess used Cyra to communicate information and orders to Keeper; primarily that Calian wasn’t completely beyond saving—it, along with its people and gods (including Aiza herself), was in a state of stasis. Aiza theorized that Calian could be saved through the power of her Glimmerflame. Rather than being snuffed out, the Glimmerflames radiating from the Gleamtree had escaped the Great Collapse. In their escape, something had drawn them to the very land where Keeper now was and, through Cyra, Aiza could sense that they lay somewhere in the wilds.
