Dressed in worn, traveler's clothing, Kayl appears to have embraced the life of an outcast. His cloak, once vibrant and regal, now bears the scars of countless journeys through harsh terrains.

Mentality

Education

Kayl's educational journey is a tapestry woven from noble roots and the pursuit of arcane mastery. It began in the great halls of Whiteshore, his family's ancestral home, where the young scholar's magical potential began to unfurl. His thirst for knowledge led him to Kirador's prestigious wizard college, where he honed his talents and eventually encountered the legendary Archwizard Mak'hzor.
 
Brought under Makhzor's tutelage, Kayl delved deep into arcane secrets, and together, they embarked on a transformative journey to Vaya'Vilial, the hallowed citadel of boundless knowledge at the center of Aldria. There, amidst towering spires and hidden tomes, Kayl's connection to magic deepened.
 
Yet, in a sudden turn of events, the young wizard found himself rent by a powerful oghmatic curse, echoes of a forbidden knowledge shredding at his mind. Now Kayl wanders on borrowed time, driven by a desire to uncover not only the arcane mysteries of the world but also the secrets concealed within his own heart.

Mental Trauma

Kayl suffers from an afflication wrought by the forbidden knowledge he found hidden deep within the recesses of the Boundless Citadel. An oghmatic curse lay over it, and now tears at his mind. Although his will remains unbroken, the curse is immensely painful and cannot be undone with "Remove Curse".
