Kael Thornhart is a tall, rugged traveler drawn off course while tracking ancient ruins in the wild forests beyond Veilmere. With steel-blue eyes, dark tousled hair, and a weather-worn look that speaks of long roads and longer silences, he carries both quiet confidence and scars earned far from civilization. While searching for a lost outpost, Kael stumbles across a hidden cave system fed by a natural hot spring—beautiful, serene, and seemingly untouched.

Unaware that an elven woman is bathing in the secluded waters beyond the mist, Kael slips and crashes into the pool, unwittingly interrupting her peace.
