The person behind the legend
Rise Lightstar is a half-elf cleric who arrived after the slaughter at the caravan, leading heavily armored healers beneath sacred banners. His life before that moment remains mostly undocumented. What the record does show is immediate competence: he and his soldiers pulled merchants back from death and restored Jeremy when the boy should not have survived.
