	Kel would become friends with many other Oathbreakers after his arrest and deployment to [[The Phantom Front]]. One friend, [[OathWielders/NPCs#Sueyka Huntsari\|Sueyka Huntsari]], would go too far, showing Kel a shadow of what possible future laid before him if he continued to fight as a vigilante against his own people and code. Kel did the best he could among the other Oathbreakers, but ultimately could not recognize himself as one of them. Kel and the other OathWielders captured the Oathbreakers in their [[Ring of Marquee]], and brought them to the enemy's lines as Prisoners of War. Kel himself was granted a pardon, and rejoined his friends, now AWOL war criminals of Troverth.

	=== Soul Searching ===		=== Soul Searching ===
	In the champerty capital of [[Friþleas]], Kel broke down over turning in his own countrymen to the enemy kingdom. He witnessed some of the evils that the other Oathbreakers had done, but couldn't help but recognize them still as fellow Troverthians. Ultimately surrending them over to Champerty, Kel no longer who his allegiance was to. And some soul searching was in order. The terms Samurai, Oathbreaker, and Troverthian had lost all meaning as he watched so many evil and good men claim each title.

The terms Samurai, Oathbreaker, and Troverthian had lost all meaning as he watched so many evil and good men claim each title.

	Kel would learn where his values truly stood after a chance encounter in the wilds with a wandering troop of Samurai who had long given up the formal war-time codes of the Samurai, instead opting to be "Samurai of the Ancestors". Though Troverth culture might see these wild Samurai as "[[Barbarian\|barbarians]]", Kel recognized his own love of his heritage and loyalty to his ancestors, and recognized that his mission was not one for his kingdom or his Emporer, but for his parents, his hometown, and his own [[Bloodlines\|bloodline]].

	<blockquote>To my honored Mother and Father,		<blockquote>To my honored [[Mother]] and Father,

	It has been almost a year now since I left Senshi no Rakuen. Quite a lot has happened, and not all of it is easy to relate or to make sense of. I’m sure that by now, even there you’ve heard that I’ve been branded an Oathbreaker. It isn’t the only title associated with me, but by far it is the most painful, and the one I feel needs the most explanation. I fear that, having been branded an Oathbreaker, I will have lost your love and affection. Nothing would wound me more than knowing the disappointment that you must have felt upon hearing that your second son has been branded as such. I offer an explanation of the circumstances surrounding my betrayal of Troverth. Hopefully, you’ll see that I did what I thought was right, and you’ll forgive me for the tarnish that I brought to the family name.		It has been almost a year now since I left Senshi no Rakuen.

	As you are no doubt aware, I left Senshi no Rakuen with a group of inhumans. They came through our town on a mission, and were treated with disrespect and dishonor. The group was even attacked while they were staying in my home. I aided in their defense, and sensing the importance of their mission, I followed them when they left. I had never gone past the mountains before, and truth be told, I was excited to see what the world was like. I was already thirty. It was long past time for me to expand my horizons. I helped them hunt down a demon, and in so doing earned a place among the Riders of Troverth. When you heard that, I’m sure your hearts were bursting with pride. In the name of Troverth, I rode out with my newfound friends.		As you are no doubt aware, I left Senshi no Rakuen with a group of inhumans.

In the name of Troverth, I rode out with my newfound friends.

	On our way to the Champerty front, we passed through the town of Balabog, where we had heard a plague or disease had taken root. It was worse than that. The inhabitants had become infected, bloated, walking bombs. They were extremely aggressive, and we were told they were contagious. We entered the town, fighting and sneaking our way through until we found a group of drunken and surly survivors. It seems they were unaffected by the infection. We protected them, and took them to the local manor, where we found Lady Hidori. Under siege by infected, we split up. Some to go investigate, and some to protect the survivors. I stayed with the survivors.		On our way to the Champerty front, we passed through the town of Balabog, where we had heard a plague or disease had taken root. It was worse than that.

	Then, unexpectedly, Riders of Troverth appeared. They wanted entrance, and they wanted Lady Hidori. I spoke with them, and while they were clearly legitimate riders, something felt off to me. As I was talking to them, some of their number snuck around the back and entered the building, immediately moving to slaughter those I’d sworn to protect. Innocent people, mother and father. I couldn’t just stand there and let them die. I had to turn my back on the law of the country to stand for a higher honor. I fought the Riders, killing some, and was branded an Oathbreaker, and a traitor.		Then, unexpectedly, Riders of Troverth appeared. They wanted entrance, and they wanted Lady Hidori.

I fought the Riders, killing some, and was branded an Oathbreaker, and a traitor.

	It wasn’t until later that we discovered what was really going on. The Troverth military was using the city of Balabog as fodder for their experiments with demons. They were attempting to engineer a weapon more horrible than any Champert magics. We put a stop to it, but from that day on, my eyes were opened. Troverth had corrupted from the inside out. It all came from the top. If I wanted Troverth to be the country that I thought it was, to be something I could be proud of, I had to end the reign of the Emperor. I had an opportunity to kill him, but I missed my chance. Father, as the most honorable and wise man I know, I would have likely attempted to put you on the throne. I’ve since learned how rash and foolish I acted on that day. I was mad with rage, and so was struck down before I could land the telling blow.

	Ever since, I’ve been traveling around the world, fighting all manner of evil creatures, freeing slaves, dueling on the high seas, and attempting to do the right thing at every turn. I fear that I have failed to make the right choices more than I care to admit, but our ancestors have yet to abandon me, so I must believe that I still hold honor in their eyes. Recently, in order to gain the power I needed to protect my friends, I made a deal with a powerful entity that spoke to me through a sword that I recovered from a dragonborn I killed(yes, father. A dragonborn! And I helped kill a skeletal dragon, too!). In exchange for arcane powers, this being called Nera asked for my aid in her quest. I know little about her, except that she is an enemy of undead. Her power has allowed me to defeat foes that otherwise would have killed myself and my friends. I worry, though, if I have done the right thing. I feel that I might have made a rash decision once again, and lept into a course of action that might lead the world to its end. I have included a summary of our journey in more detail along with this letter, as well as a map with our travel path marked on it. On reading it, it is hard to believe the adventures I have been through.

	Mother, father, I beg your understanding. I hope that you are not too disappointed in my decisions, and feel I have brought more honor than dishonor to our family.

== About ==
Kel was born in [[Senshi no Rakuen]] and worked his way up to become a Litigator for the town, which was the term used to refer to the [[Samurai]] of the village.

== History ==

=== Litigator ===
Kel worked for a middling Troverth lord, but was dissatisfied with him. He used Kel's power to dominate, instead of to defend himself. Kel decided to leave his service, instead becoming a sort of public defender, offering my services to any who were in actual need.

Kel was first encountered while he was playing public defender (literally) in a trial-by-combat which his hometown called "Litigation". In this particular case, he was defending a Farrier who had been cheated out of a fair price for a set of horseshoes.

Kel was one of two local public litigators, the other being [[OathWielders/NPCs#Kichio|Kichio]]

=== Samurai ===
In the city of [[Balabag]], the newly appointed Samurai (under Master Shama) would take on the role of [[Lady Hidori]]'s protector, staying with her at her palace.

However, when other Samurai arrived and tried to force Kel to hand over the lady, Kel correctly deduced they had nefarious plans (they were undertaking a "no-witnesses" cleanse of the city), he attacked his own countrymen, labeling himself an Oathbreaker.

=== [[Oathbreaker]] ===
When exposed to [[Fearmones]], Kel saw visions of the great '''Emporer Troverth, '''who he fought in an epic skirmish. However, as the emporer removed his mask, Kel saw his own father, reflecting the inner struggles Kel faces between his loyalty to his family and homelands, and his drive to follow her personal bonds.

Kel would become friends with many other Oathbreakers after his arrest and deployment to [[The Phantom Front]]. One friend, [[OathWielders/NPCs#Sueyka Huntsari|Sueyka Huntsari]], would go too far, showing Kel a shadow of what possible future laid before him if he continued to fight as a vigilante against his own people and code. Kel did the best he could among the other Oathbreakers, but ultimately could not recognize himself as one of them. Kel and the other OathWielders captured the Oathbreakers in their [[Ring of Marquee]], and brought them to the enemy's lines as Prisoners of War. Kel himself was granted a pardon, and rejoined his friends, now AWOL war criminals of Troverth.

=== Soul Searching ===
In the champerty capital of [[Friþleas]], Kel broke down over turning in his own countrymen to the enemy kingdom. He witnessed some of the evils that the other Oathbreakers had done, but couldn't help but recognize them still as fellow Troverthians. Ultimately surrending them over to Champerty, Kel no longer who his allegiance was to. And some soul searching was in order. The terms Samurai, Oathbreaker, and Troverthian had lost all meaning as he watched so many evil and good men claim each title.

Kel would learn where his values truly stood after a chance encounter in the wilds with a wandering troop of Samurai who had long given up the formal war-time codes of the Samurai, instead opting to be "Samurai of the Ancestors". Though Troverth culture might see these wild Samurai as "[[Barbarian|barbarians]]", Kel recognized his own love of his heritage and loyalty to his ancestors, and recognized that his mission was not one for his kingdom or his Emporer, but for his parents, his hometown, and his own [[Bloodlines|bloodline]].

=== Avenger of Nera ===
While battling on [[The AmuPter Front]] against the draconic forces of the [[Dolina Region]], Kel came across a '''Holy Avenger''', a weapon which seemingly spoke to him and granted him magical powers of light and magic. The weapon was in fact a vessel through which the goddess [[Raven Queen|Nera]] would communicate and seduce mortals to follow her on her quest to conquer [[Nerull]].

Kel would go on to meet another avenger of Nera, a woman named [[Ashley Angelbane]], who would teach him more about Nera, her quest, and eventually go on to marry his teammate [[Julian]].

== Titles ==

To our devoted wanderluster,

Master Shama relayed to us your departure shortly after you left. We spend good time with Master Shama every week when he is available, learning from him the stories, both good and bad, of the war. As well as seeking much needed guidance in these trying times.

Your father and I will be transparent; your actions have had repercussions here in Senshi no Rakuen. Our house has been set ablaze twice, and Master Shama has stationed a guard to prevent further incidents. Our reputation is nearly as tarnished as your own, but Master Shama has given us valuable wisdom. We have learned that those who care for reputation busy their heads needlessly. A garden cannot grow without dirt, but those who are offended by dirt in all places will avoid the most beautiful flowers.

Your garden may be full of more dirt than others, but your father and I will always be here to enjoy your flowers.

We are so excited to hear you were able to meet Balabag’s Lady of the Phoenix. Your father says he saw her once when in Balabag as part of that traditional gathering he has with his war friends every few years. He says she is quite beautiful. He has not returned to Balabag this year as he says the city was set to be demolished after the demons arrived. To think you were in the epicenter of it all and saved the Lady herself makes us, and no doubt your ancestors, proud to call you a part of the Crane. Master Shama has also told us several great stories like this one over the past year. We had a map of our own we plotted out from Master Shama’s stories, but the map you sent us shows us how many stories we still need to hear.

We eagerly await the day you come home. It sounds as though your heart is heavy with the weight of your year of decision. Your ancestral roots are here in Senshi no Rakuen and we miss your face dearly. Master Shama says that one smile can clear a thousand worries. Lay your head home with us and we promise to help you find your light.

We would also like to invite you to bring your new friend Nera. It sounds like you have a special connection with her, and it would be untraditional to run off with a girl without asking your parents approval first.

If dark things are indeed on the horizon, then there is no better place to find sanctuary than home. We have also attached a small gift of wisdom of Master Shama that he requested we send you.

We love you, Kellarin. You never needed to seek our forgiveness as we never felt you had done us any wrong. We know you have sought guidance from our parents, and our parents’ parents, and trust that our ancestors have not steered you wrong. We continue to brave this storm together only because we know it must be the right thing.

In this perilous world, you still have our support,

Mother and Father
