Profile

The avatar's guardian. Herbalist and beekeeper of Vellin, tender of the half-abandoned orchards nobody else bothers with. He found a baby in the ash at seventeen and has been, in his own words, "improvising ever since".

In their words

  • Roots don't ask the soil where it came from. Eat your soup.
  • I didn't raise you to be safe. I raised you to be kind. I'm starting to see the problem.

Ethereal Path

170 of its 255 stars can be lit: two shared zones, then one specialization to choose.

From Oath Tier V, once 60% of Mastery is lit, choose one specialization. The other one stays visible but closed. Switching costs 20,000 Lume and gives back the points spent.

Oath Tale

What the Orchard Kept

Galen goes to Pellara looking for his sister Ilka and learns she was sent to an Ivorne tithe-labour house after her quarter of the town broke its tithe oath. He finds her alive, freed by the party, and furious at him for never coming sooner. The tale ends with Galen learning that "what others leave behind" includes himself.
