Phang Kwan's page

Kwan was too young to remember much of that fateful night. In his nightmares, he would see flashes. A friendly face turned into a grisly image from a sword's blade. A friend trampled by the advancing mass of undead. His dad and mom lying motionless in the family home, having given their lives for his. Like too many Willowshore children, Kwan was orphaned and alone after the Night of Broken Blades.

Kwan and the other orphans were taken in by one of the last monks to leave the monastery, Joon Park. Joon, an adherent of Shizuru, taught Kwan and the other children duty, respect, and swordplay. More than most, Kwan readily absorbed these teachings and, over time, became Joon's apprentice, teaching the younger students the same lessons that Kwan learned from Joon. As the years went by, the two continued to teach children those important lessons of duty, respect, and swordplay, until Joon's light went out due to old age.

When the Lung Wa empire crumbled, Kwan decided to honor Joon's memory by protecting the city and joining the town guard after much of their ranks left the town. Now no longer a young man himself, Kwan has retired from the town guard, but regularly participates in training exercises. He also assists Yong Wu-Xiu at the Eternal Blaze Ironworks, mostly by carrying heavy materials around and fetching tools. Kwan finds happiness in seeing Yong create well-crafted blades and armor.

But more than anything else, Kwan occupies his time by making sure that the next generation of Willowshore finds joy in duty, respect, and swordplay. As Joon always told Kwan and the others: "Be prepared to protect your town - if you aren't already ready, it's too late."
