Wipe that fevered brow! So, this is what happened in your campaign? Sounds like a very fraught few years.

OK, so that is still uncertain. Makes a difference how one views Kallyr's coming of age.

Thanks, that's one I don't have. I wasn't suggesting that the Sun County stuff is official, by any means. Just that that was the last time that I remember trying to work out a timeline for Kallyr's birth and initiation.

So, father probably dead by then, or the hunt is on for him. Probably a large influence on her going into Vinga. Protector and Avenger aspects would both be relevant. Mother dead at the same time, widowed, anyone know?
