Background and Relationship

Born and raised in the bustling heart of Prideholme, Caelum Quickhand was always drawn to the art of transformation—turning raw hides into durable, beautiful items. However, beneath their craftsman's exterior beat the heart of an adventurer, yearning for quests beyond the town’s borders.

Their journey into the polyamorous family began with a shared dream: the pursuit of adventure. Caelum and their partners each harbored aspirations of heroism, longing to explore, discover, and achieve greatness. Yet, the financial barrier of acquiring orbs of class—magic items necessary to unlock their potential as adventurers—kept their dreams just out of reach. They resolved that none would venture forth until all could do so together, fostering a deep bond rooted in shared ambition and mutual support.

Caelum's role in this dynamic is twofold. Professionally, they are a dedicated apprentice, honing their craft with the hope that it might one day finance their collective quest. Personally, they are the calm within the storm, offering steady, thoughtful guidance as they navigate the complexities of their intertwined lives. Their skill as a tanner is not merely a trade but a contribution to their shared future, crafting leather armors and goods to prepare for the day they all step forth as adventurers.

The relationship evolved from mutual respect and shared goals into a profound, complex connection. Each partner brings unique strengths and dreams to the table, but it is their collective vision of adventure that cements their bond. Caelum, with their artisan skills and dreamer’s heart, is integral to this chosen family, weaving together their hopes for a future filled with adventure.
