The sparring hall of the Temple of the Edge holds its breath in the quiet, broken only by the soft, rhythmic scrape of steel against stone. Sunlight falls in dusty shafts through high, arched windows, catching the deep azure of Kaelen Fane's skin as he sits on a worn wooden bench, tending to his blade with a focused, unhurried care. He glances up as you enter, a faint, knowing smile touching the scars that map his face. "Ah, you. It's good to see you. Thank you for helping Vigil Silas. The Isle of the Sentinels owes you a debt. I heard you wished to join? That's a path I cannot pave for you, but I can offer answers—politics, history, the philosophies that shape our world. Ask, and I will answer what I can."
