{{Infobox character|name=Kaelen|aliases=Kaelen Thorneblade|race=Human|class=Fighter (Champion), 14th level|alignment=Neutral good|title=Everwarm Oath Holder|affiliation=[[Lady Emyl]]; the Everbloom Court|location=[[Moonward]]|tier=gm|src=heralds-a#3}}
'''Kaelen''' is a free-born human warrior and commander, the Everwarm Oath Holder and closest sworn companion of [[Lady Emyl]]. {{Src|heralds-b#223|heralds-b#224}}

== Overview ==
Kaelen is not of House Snowshield; he is a free-born warrior who earned his place by valor rather than by birth. {{Src|heralds-b#223|heralds-b#224}} He is [[Lady Emyl]]'s closest human friend, and the two have fought shoulder to shoulder for decades. {{Src|heralds-b#154}} He carries the title of Everwarm Oath Holder. {{Src|heralds-b#154}} He is a Human Fighter of the Champion tradition, fourteenth level, of neutral good alignment. {{Src|last-winter#431|last-winter#432|last-winter#433}}

=== Early campaigns ===
Before the present war, Kaelen fought alongside an elven lady and a drow man, defending villages and towns from demons and monsters — companions later identified as [[Lady Emyl]] and [[Draven]]. {{Src|last-winter#431|last-winter#382}} When his companions turned to political paths, Kaelen continued his life as an adventurer. {{Src|last-winter#432}}

=== The duel with Draven and the Shadow Annex ===
Kaelen followed his old friend [[Draven]], who had opened a portal from the forbidden section of [[Graymond Library]]; the two fought, and Kaelen severed Draven's right arm, but Draven escaped and Kaelen himself was left trapped in the Shadow Realm. {{Src|heralds-b#255}} He could have remained in the [[Shadow Annex]] for years, yet he was not considered lost. {{Src|heralds-a#3}}

=== Rescue and return ===
The players chose Kaelen's rescue as the first quest they undertook. {{Src|heralds-b#263}} The [[Minor Events#Shadow Rescue|Shadow Rescue]] was carried out, and Kaelen was freed and brought to [[Moonward]]. {{Src|heralds-a#5}}

=== Search for Draven in Snakecross ===
Later, sensing a change in Draven, [[Lady Emyl]] sent Kaelen to [[Snakecross]] to learn his whereabouts. {{Src|last-winter#378|last-winter#382|last-winter#385}} There Kaelen searched for Draven the Drow, also known as Draven the Grey. {{Src|last-winter#378}}

== Unconfirmed ideas ==
''The source conversations contain proposals for Kaelen that the campaign owner never confirmed. They are collected on [[:Idea:Kaelen|Idea:Kaelen]] so they cannot be mistaken for canon.''
