Hale Lore

Hale, swordsman of the wastes, hails from a mysterious tribe of Elves – the Kenar-Ahdam – that eke out an existence in the ruins of Strife where they have been effectively exiled to by the other races of Gael as a result of suspicions that they are half-Dharkwave/half-Elf. As perpetual outcasts, the Kenar-Ahdam have remained largely isolated from the worlds around them and have preserved many of their old customs including Rhen-Dhit wherein the second son of the family is sent off to find fortune on their own so as not to challenge the first son for inheritance. Hale, second son of Mhernad, ventured forth to join in the Trials of Strife in order to win himself a place within his tribe, and his tribe a place amongst the rest of the races of the planes.
