History
Early Life Kairn Calithil was born in a village within Varendoz, Aeldin in 1425. When his mother died in 1442 amidst the Elven pogroms that characterized the era, he crossed the sea as an indentured servant and emigrated to Athera. A Heartlander named John Anders purchased his debt, and Kairn was put to work as a ledger keeper in Oren during the final days of the Carrion Dynasty. He tended to John Anders' banking, records, and estate until the aging merchant's death in 1450. In the merchant's will, the remainder of Kairn's debt was annulled so he was emancipated from his job.
Kairn took up work as a mercenary during the Schism War as a soldier of the Canonist League. Eventually, after an incident where a Canonist priest refused to baptize him on account of his Elven heritage, he journeyed to Laureh'lin to discover more about his background. Upon his arrival to the town, he found it under siege by the Order of Saint Amyas. Kairn challenged Olivier de Savoie to a duel, and then narrowly won despite a gash injury to his posterior tibial artery towards the back of his leg. The Elves nearby had assisted a frightened guardsman, and no clinicians were within sight. Olivier de Savoie called for his own personal clinician who traveled with the war-band and then had Kairn tended to, before honoring the conditions of their duel and leaving the city with his men.
Kairn was conscripted into the Order of Sirame by Orlanden and Bravepaw. Under their tutelage, he learned how to use the sword, bow, and warglaive. After their retirement, he was promoted to be an Officer by Praetor Tristin Tresery, and continued to move up the ranks despite his adversarial relationship with Artimec Caerme'onn. He established a reputation as a fierce and abusive soldier and his men in hushed whispers took to calling him the "Mad Dog" of the Calithil Seed.
