History
Origin
All Horblaria, the region ruled by Golenat, knew the legendary couple Kaelos and Karnost, his wife. In a land so consumed by cruelty, malice, corruption and depravity, a couple of bandits like them were seen as heroes by the very few good people who lived there. They dueled as one, they seemed like two halves of a single being who fought for something decent in a world of indecency. Karnost was the most well-regarded of the pair, being very charitable, caring and concerned with the people she helped, always giving them large portions of her treasures. Kaelos helped, but never made a point of showing affection; for him, pleasing those he helped didn’t matter. However, what affection he didn’t show to others, he had in abundance for his wife, who seemed to be the only person in the world who could make him less serious. The time came when Karnost became pregnant. This did not interfere with her performance in the couple’s attacks, but as the weight of carrying another being began to weaken her, the couple, who were famous and known for being incredible duelists and fast ambushers, began to only be able to flee, and with difficulty. In the final stages of the pregnancy and the most critical, Karnost could no longer continue fleeing, being captured by the enemy and taken away, while Kaelos fought to reach her. A child born of pure and true love in the lands of Golenat was something very rare, their son would be taken to the ruler of that land.
On the day of the birth, Kaelos managed to find out where his wife was being held. He turned into a monster that night, killing everything he found on his way to the room in the mansion where his wife was. He found her dead, with her womb open, and some doctors, one of them holding his son. Kaelos eliminated them in the blink of an eye, and then held his son Kailan in his arms while regretfully checking if there was any way to still save Karnost. That was when one of the two tanels, leaders second only to Golenat, Sadomos, arrived in the room and intended to take the child. Kaelos promptly fled while setting the mansion on fire.
Alone with his newborn son, he sought refuge in the homes of those he and his wife had helped in the past. Those who did not sell them out of greed did so out of fear or paranoia. He ended up on the streets, doing everything he could to survive, and above all, to keep his son Kailan alive. Luckily, Kaelos was not the type to be defeated by mere hardships. He not only survived, but managed to recruit followers until he formed his own warband, and all this while raising his beloved son.
When invited by Otes to found one of the five legendary Otesis Legions, Kaelos suggested that only men be part of the legions, as the time, resources and value placed on each legionnaire was too great for him to be lost due to something like pregnancy.
In the words of Kaelos: “An Otesis knight will only stop fighting when he is dead or when he is no longer capable of killing.” His request was eventually accepted and applied to all legions.
