The person behind the legend
Who they are
Abandoned in Sylvara’s forests, the child who became Rish Rash survived by following three-eyed ravens to a forgotten library. The ravens named him, the books educated him, and an impossible shadow eventually destroyed the only home he knew. He entered the Kingsguard curious, isolated, and capable of solving almost any physical obstacle by declining to touch it.

Notes in their own voice
Reconstructed from the surviving campaign record—not verbatim transcripts, but faithful to the person revealed at the table.
The Gauntlet“The instructor said reach the end together. She did not say the spinning log required our feet.”
The sphinx“She asked a riddle. I answered the riddle. The others insist another conversation was occurring.”
The prisoners“They were starved men forced to fight. Killing them afterward would not transform obedience into justice.”
People in their orbit
No one adventures alone, despite repeated efforts.
The Three-Eyed Ravens
Childhood protectors, namesakes, and the family lost when the shadow consumed their library.
Wilfred Cragbloom
Fellow dissenter during the prisoner execution order.
Rise Lightstar
The cleric who later took his place in the active Kingsguard.
Where the record stands
Alive when last confirmed. He vanished from the caravan battlefield after finding Jeremy and was later replaced in the Kingsguard by Rise Lightstar; his current location is unknown.
