About KabrBackstory:
Kabr was, what seems a lifetime ago, a Kellid nomad and a weaponsmith. Possessing neither the ability nor the mindset of the barbarians and shamans that make up the majority of the tribal warriors, Kabr focused on arming his kin for the constant warfare with the demons to the east, the orcs to the south, and the outrunners of the Winter Witches' armies to the west. By the time Kabr was an adult, he had earned a reputation as a smith amongst the Bearpelt tribes, even supposedly being known by Mighty Kuldor the Herdsman himself, though Kabr has never met the man to validate this rumor. Unfortunately, it is almost certain that this reputation, if it exists, is not positive. Kellids value strength, bravery, and cunning over the academics of the weaker southern peoples; while as capable of intelligence and insight, their situation allows little room for learning that does not aid in their struggle for survival. Iron and steel weapons, while allowing the nomads to hunt and defend themselves effectively, are much easier to obtain from the travelling merchants in Icestair and Hillcross than made on-hand due to the nomadic lifestyle of the tribes. Very rarely is even a fraction of a tribe settled long enough for a craftsman to focus as required to outfit a worthwhile number of hunters with the required weapons. On the other hand, it was this dedication to the craft which led Kabr to leave the tribe and cross the Thunder Steppes towards the Mendevian outposts. Kabr traded his skill as a craftsman for instruction in a more... methodical approach to warfare than what the nomads and barbarians could provide. It was in this part of his life that Kabr and one of his many mentors identified a spark of elemental affinity in his soul. After many months of instruction and mentorship, this spark blossomed into a true affinity for elemental magics, perhaps due to the shamanistic powers of his kin, and perhaps as a direct result of the danger instigated by Winter magics, Kabr learned easily how to shape and mold elemental magics of all sorts into the cold's antithesis: fire. In addition to the basics of elemental magics taught to him, Kabr was instructed in some small non-elemental spells to improve his combative prowess. Several years later, with study and practice, Kabr had a firm grasp of melding magic and combat together against the demons of the Worldwound, indeed he was a decorated commander, but he was frustrated at the constant lack of progress against the infernal hordes and after advising his Mendevian platoon, set off with a pair of others down into Absalom to further study potential arcane methods for ending the threat of the demons. Kabr and the others eventually began a venture - nearly an assault, considering the number of enemies found around and inside - into the Spire of Nex, the rumors of pocket dimensions and arcane secrets too tempting to pass up. When Kabr emerged, alone, just a few hours after entering the Spire, it was with a weariness most commonly seen in the eyes of soldiers coming home from decades at war. When asked by residents of Absalom about his companions or what was found in the Spire, Kabr looked at them and stated, "No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone." Even now, years later, a war-weary Kabr wanders Golarion searching for... something. Something lost. Forgotten. A secret, or a memory, always on the edge of his mind's eye but never recalled. I am legionless.
What happened in the Spire:
Kabr met a foe far more powerful than he and his companions ever imagined. Kabr managed to survive, and was cursed for his effort. Kabr no longer has any memory of family, friend, or battle-brother. 'In this life, Kabr of Bearpelt,
Past and future, eternal and instant,
Kin of blood and kin of deed,
You are legionless.'
Now:
In the haze wrought from the ill-fated attempt at accessing the secrets of Nex, Kabr had slowly trodden his way through the large majority of the Inner Sea continent, and eventually found his way carving a path through the Hold of Belkzen. Not in an attempt to carve out an empire among the orcs; it just happened to be the straightest line back towards his homeland and in his current mindset, an ignoble death at the hands of the horde wouldn't be the worst thing he could imagine happening to himself but a couple of well-used spells kept him safe even during his resting hours - giving the orcs hunting him an impression of one who never sleeps. Kabr, in due course, arrived at the border between the Realm of the Mammoth Lords and the Hold of Belkzen, but having only the faintest of ideas of his own folly, Kabr turned away from the open tundra and started walking west into Irrisen. Having grown up on stories of the wickedness and the power wielded by the Winter Witches of Irrisen, Kabr hopes he might find one in the kingdom who can restore the lost memories so that he can finally put this part of his life behind him. Some rumors have escaped Irrisen and others have been told in the Abyss, and therefore reported to Kabr's old crusade commands, that the current Witch Queen is on the hunt for an artifact of enormous power. Kabr slowly and very deliberately made his way through the wasteland of Irrisen, through the Hoarwood and into Whitethrone, hoping to plead a bargain with the Queen. His efforts to retrieve the item in exchange for assistance with restoring his missing memories.
