= Keith Ardronias Stone = Keith is a Human from Lirgal. He serves as part of the citizen council and runs a town known as Ashfeld. Keith is a blacksmith and a part time mercenary when he is not governing his town.

Early Life
Keith lived in the capital in the kingdom of his old home where he served as a captain for the Order of Shadows which acted as the military of the realm and the city guard of the capital. The realm prospered for years, and peace reigned upon the land until winter came. Their crops had produced little to harvest due to winter arriving early, forcing the kingdom to ration the little food that they had left. As time passed and supplies dwindled, the people demanded that more food was given to the town so they might survive and feed their starving families, but the king refused, argued that there was almost nothing to spare. The people, tired of starving, began to rebel, declaring that the king was a weak fool hoarding the realms food for himself while everyone else suffered. The king then sent out his knights to crush the rebellions to restore stability to the realm. Keith, a captain of the Order of shadows, was given command of a platoon of troops with the task of extinguishing the rebel cells in the North by any means necessary. After a quick and brutal campaign, the rebel cells had been decimated but as Keith was marching to the capital, they found it in turmoil as the city was in flames and knights fought one another in the streets, attempting to take control of the city. They fought their way into the city only to learn that the king was killed by the grandmaster of the Order who led a coup against him and now claimed the throne of the kingdom. When the rest of the order found out, the knights turned on one another. Captains became warlords, fighting for towns and resources. With the kingdom in shambles, the people began traveling in the thousands to the ports south of the realm in hopes in escaping the bloodshed and finding a new home. Knowing that the only way he could save his people from the violence and the bitter cold winter, Keith gathered any willing knights and civilians with him and began traveling south to the ports. As Keith moved south with his people, they gathered willing townsfolk to join them escaping the nightmare that had covered their realm. Once Keith and his people arrived at ports, they found the cities in flames as knights fought for control of the strategic ports. Keith and his knights fought their way through the city, clearing a path for those who wished to reach the ports and escape. They eventually reached the port where they boarded three merchant ships and sailed away from their broken kingdom. As they sailed from their home, a massive storm caught them off guard and capsized all three ships. Out of the 62 knights and 73 civilians, Keith was the only survivor.

Arrival in Aldovir
Keith wandered the continents of Rathnir for a year, exploring the mysterious lands, learning the cultures, and looking for a place to call home. He eventually stumbled upon a beautiful town called Boriveir where he would be accepted into large town and learn the art of smithing. After Keith finished settling down in his new home, he began to explore neighboring towns until he encountered a massive city of Blackstone and Quartz called Lirgal. He began exploring the city, but he paused when he was approached by one of the Lunar council members. She gave him a tour of the city, showing Keith some of the major landmarks such as their temple, a gift given by their goddess, and the public market. Once she finished the tour, she offered Keith a residence in Lirgal since he was a part of the state which he gladly accepted.

Career
Keith began to build a small shop in his house in Lirgal in hopes in gaining a nice profit but failed to gain anything. Keith was beginning to consider mining for a living when he found a help wanted poster in Lirgal from the Imperious Pawn Shop asking for enchanters. Knowing that his call for help would only last for so long, Keith sent an application to the Imperious Pawn Shop and a few days later he was accepted.
