Kiryn Adventurers

Three sample Kiryn adventurers are described below.

Kitsuri, a female Kiryn arcane trickster has always lived an easy life. Hidden away from civilizations by their giant, overgrown canyon, her people have always sustained themselves. It wasn't until the surrounding colonies, looking for land to expand to, began clearing her home, forcing her to take up arms to repel the invaders from her homeland.

Swii, a male rogue had long been exiled from his tribe. His parents were found guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the leadership were executed. Him, being just a child was deemed exiled, and forced from his village at the early age of 10. Swii swore revenge on the family that framed his parents, the family that had long since overtaken the tribe. Against all odds, he must clear his name and oust the real criminals from their positions.

Oro, a male elder Kiryn sorcerer had ventured from his homeland in search of greater things. Several decades have passed since he left, but one day he gets a message from a mysterious stranger informing him of the danger his family and his people are in. Oro must venture back to his homeland and rescue his race before they are wiped from the face of the planet.
