He has a tanned, muscular frame, hardened from his father's blacksmithing trade, but he is still relatively quick on his toes. He's never been a genius, but he's no slouch, either. He has good common sense.Kal has always looked to the future. Something inside him keeps telling him that there is more to this life than swinging a hammer in a forge, something beyond the yolk of oppression that all the people live under.  He feels a bravery within himself, but it has yet to surface. Thus far, it seems his responsibilities are foolish, and therefore not worth his time.Background: Born in the year 78 of the Third Age as the first born son of a blacksmith, Kal spent much of his childhood in his father’s forge. As soon as he was old enough to swing a hammer, he began helping his father run his business. He was content, very much at home in his small village. That is, until he fell in with Aerenar Tell. He listened to Aerenar’s grand ideas of heroism and glory, but he never really dwelled on it. However, it was enough to get him to sign on as one of the village’s guardsmen. It didn’t take long for Kal to realize the job of a guardsman was both boring and thankless. Nothing interesting ever happened. Occasionally an orc patrol would come through, but the usually passed without incident. Now, Kal regrets ever joining up for the guard, even though it is only for a couple hours each day.Recent Events: Kal was with Aerenar the day they encountered the orc patrol. When the two orcs came after them, he hesitated a moment thinking he should stand his ground. Aerenar talked him out of it, and for that he is grateful. He longs for something more in his life, but rejects Aeren’s farfetched fantasies of adventure and glory. Thankfully, Aerenar has been far less enthusiastic since their encounter with the orcs. Unfortunately, this has put a damper on both of their spirits and Kal has become frustrated with the lack of direction in his life.Just after his encounter with the orc, he told his lieutenant, Choric about the incident. Choric simply told him to stay within the village and put him to work making repairs to the wall.NOTE:  My pic is the work of Stephanie Pui-mun Law, a wonderful watercolor artist.  You can find her gallery online.</blockquote>
