Character Details

Backstory

Caelum always knew he was different — golden light leaked from his skin when he was angry and his dreams were filled with a radiant voice he could never quite understand. When the Second Sundering began and the gods started choosing new mortal vessels, the voice finally spoke clearly: Lathander, the Morninglord, had marked Caelum as one of his Chosen. Now the light in his blood burns brighter than ever, and visions of a new dawn drive him forward. But Caelum has seen what happens to the Chosen who came before — most died or went mad — and he wonders if being chosen is a blessing or a sentence.

Bond

"Lathander's light chose me for a reason. I must prove worthy of it."

Flaw
