Keren Eidolon of the Keep

Keren was found as an infant wrapped in starlight beside the Moonwell at the heart of Aetherhold Keep, a fortress of sentient stone and ancient memory. The Keep accepted her as its own its runes opened at her touch, its spectral guardians bowed, and even time seemed to hold its breath around her. Known as the Eidolon of the Keep, she was raised by echo and enchantment, untouched by age or ordinary childhood. But even a soul shaped by magic begins, eventually, to ache for more than duty and silence.

So Keren descended from the high cliffs and wandered the fractured world, awakening lost spells and stirring stories in her wake. In Elmbrook Vale, a place where snow and spring met in quiet defiance of the seasons, she met Zaros a frost born battlemage exiled from the storm. Where Keren was stillness, Zaros was tempered flame; where one was made of memory, the other of movement. In each other, they found not answers, but a mirror and in that reflection, a kind of peace neither had known. In the end, the girl who had belonged to the Keep found something the fortress never gave her: belonging that chose her back.
