He's about **three and a half** feet tall. ## Biography He is a man of fabled and prolonged history. In the present day, Kalowei is one of the most powerful magical beings in the world of [[Elmanon]]. He is an advisor to [[Queen Zilvarra Hune - GM]] and the [[Kalowei Thurdus|Guildmaster]] of the **illustrious** [[Adventurer's Guild]]. His age is unknown, even to himself, through a combination of changing calendar systems, intermittent periods of chemically and/or magically induced memory loss, and the [[Illiman Wave]]; he lost track. It was hard even to keep track while living under the rule of [[The Illiman - GM]]. The being that is well-known to have been overthrown in part due to the actions of *Kalowei*. After the [[Illiman Wave]], the confusion made it simply too tedious to definitively determine his age. The battle that resulted in the death of [[The Illiman - GM]] **greatly** weakened *Kalowei* - the [[Illiman Wave]] addled his mind, alongside the wounds he sustained in the battle he was in an incredibly weakened state. His close friend [[Plerixus Yuntoi]] used some of his final strength to place *Kalowei* in a cave of the [[Ondor Mountains]], near *Kalowei's* birth home and early base of operations, [[Minehorn]], in a cocoon of magical protection and healing **Wished** around him through **Divine Intervention** to last until he was whole again. He awakened, adjacent to the decayed [[Plerixus Yuntoi]], in **132** [[Post-Illiman Calendar|PIC]]. Upon learning what took place after the [[Illiman Wave]] he regrets that he was not present to help rebuild society. He wishes he had been able to be present at the [[Post-Illiman Commancy]]. - [ ] TODO Build out what [[Kalowei Thurdus|Kalowei]] did to honor [[Plerixus Yuntoi]] (and with his corpse) Later, in **156** [[Post-Illiman Calendar|PIC]], *Kalowei* created the [[Adventurer's Guild]] to band together a group of people strong enough to prevent a rise of anything similar to [[The Illiman - GM]]. It was long after his expected lifespan, when he already looked old and frail, but felt young and spry, that *Kalowei* started to wonder when his time would end. After seeing many of his early friends, of all species, die off he began to wonder when his time would come. It's been a multitude of times beyond his expected lifespan and he is still alive. > [!quote] Rumors > As rumors would have it, *Kalowei* is **immortal**. > > [!note] *Kalowei's* Thoughts >> He is not certain of that fact; though he's not sure what else the case could be. He hopes immortality is not his fate. - [ ] TODO How did *Kalowei* earn the title of [[General/Titles/Giant Slayer]]? ## His Thoughts > [!example]- *Kalowei's* Trusted Advisors > - [[Ekreus]] - Ekreus is *Kalowei's* ears to global events. > > - [[Srevog]] - Quite literally *Kalowei* trusts her with his life. He knows when she is around he won't need to cast magic to defend himself. When she isn't around he feels slightly anxious, even. She has defended his life many times in the past, and he doesn't doubt that she will continue. ### Fears - *Kalowei* tries to avoid casting magical spells in combat. This stems from the events of the [[Ghelian Terror Attack]]. ### Flaws - His age has made him feel out of touch with the concept of time being precious. He takes things at his own pace. Sometimes that's fast, sometimes that's slow. It depends on his mood and how excited he is about what he's doing. - The number of people he has seen pass due to his extreme age and the nature of the work in the [[Adventurer's Guild]] has made him extremely accepting of death. He mourns only those that were extremely close to him. > [!example] > Where other people may think be saddened and contemplative by the death of an individual, *Kalowei* is more likely to immediately think "their death was bound to happen eventually" then move on. ### Views He respects the [[Zherican]]s at the very least out of respect and fondness for and his closeness with [[Plerixus Yuntoi]]. Though, he does not keep up with the belief. He tries to personally meet with every group of adventurers before they go out on a quest for the [[Adventurer's Guild]]. ### Altered Magic I'd like to have his magic be more powerful. Early concepts include having *Kalowei* have no spell slots below 6th level, therefore all spells are cast at at least that level (including upcasted damage when applicable).
