Ar’drine

Arsis' grandfather. Visiting Garalaia for the games. Thought Arsis was dead. Has rooms at the Emperor's Laurel. Gives Arsis a hug and lets him go. Apologizes to Arsis for not knowing him. Has been searching for Arsis for 28 years. Over the years he's manages to find Arsis' mothers grave, he was led to believe she had a young son with her. He believed Arsis had died with her. "Amongst our people in the Coiled Douve there is little interaction with men. Your birth was a surprise... to many. The children among us have managed to hang onto much of our culture through the cataclysms. Every time a child is born, they are brought before a seeer. That seeer reads into the child future. When the child... what the seeer's predicts is.... the seeer's predictions will layout the course of the child's life. And yours was seen that you would be tied to our salvation, or to the ruiner of everything.""We have lost too much time Arsis, and I am glad that no matter what happened between the end of your mother and I, that she named you me."Knock on the door... its Moira. Starting to cry expecting him to take Arsis away"Moira, if [looks at Arsis] if you are family to my grandson, then you are family to me as well. But I would ask that, you allow us to speak about some things between us."Moira hears a low chant and Ar'drine's hands shift a few times making a few gestures. Suddenly a buzz and no one can hear through the door any more.

What are you doing here?"I am here for Qualduve, for our people. Sent as an envoy for our people."Are you aligned with Garalaia"No, kept our distance, but we believe the wanderer would arrive again. Showing good faith to other groups."Is this divine intervention"Don't believe in divine"Can you help us?"From what I hear from bards of your tales, and also from those who witnessed the deeds you've done in the games, I doubt I can help."Are we doing alright?"I trust you will do the right thing. You have your mother's eyes."-

After dealing with Callius and all the drama in Garalaia:"You all seem to be in opposition to the old enemy, I would ask you all stop speaking his name, because it can draw his attention. My people, our people, closed ourselves off for these reasons. But from what I have gathered, it may make sense for you to make pilgrimage to our wood."
