The person behind the legend

Who they are

Kelsynk is a goblin artificer fascinated by discarded mechanisms and forgotten civilizations. Springs, broken glass, ruined tools, and suspicious relics are all raw material. He joined the group at the Festival of Flame, but disappears from the surviving party record after the first session. The archive refuses to invent an ending simply because bookkeeping failed.

  • Treating an explosion as a design feature when useful

Magic & stranger talents

What answers

  • Practical artificing that blurs machinery and spellcraft
  • A working knowledge of ruins and forgotten devices
  • No confirmed signature battle spell survives in the session record

From the road

Notes in their own voice

Reconstructed from the surviving campaign record—not verbatim transcripts, but faithful to the person revealed at the table.

Workshop principle

Trash is only a machine whose next owner has not arrived.

Regarding explosions

A device that explodes has successfully demonstrated energy transfer. Refinement comes later.

Archive note

The road after Eldenhold contains no reliable account of Kelsynk. Unknown is not dead.

People in their orbit

No one adventures alone, despite repeated efforts.

Forgotten Civilizations

Kelsynk’s preferred teachers, especially when they leave valuable machinery unattended.

The Original Party

Present at the beginning, absent from later records without a confirmed farewell.

Where the record stands

Alive in the last confirmed record. His reason for leaving and present location are unknown.
