Lore

Kardel Sharpeye was born in the Knollen mountains, where Keen Folk traditionally hunt steepstalkers by shooting them from a distance and collecting the carcasses. Sharpeye was among the best, for whom a gun is just another appendage. On his day of summoning, he faced the ancient test: a single shot from the valley floor to kill a beast on the cliffs. His shot felled a steepstalker, but when the carcass was brought in, the elders found the bullet had pierced its glittering central eye and was clenched in its mandibles—an ominous sign of a dark prophecy, foretelling greatness and exile. So by his own skill, Sharpeye was condemned to leave his people, unwelcome until he fulfills the prophecy by attaining legendary stature on a battlefield.
