Backstory

Meklen Tiammen knew from a young age that he didn't quite live up to his family's legacy or his Father's expectations. While his father held the respectable position of Lord of Hearthaven , a title granted by the House of Silk, the Meklen name no longer commanded the respect it once did, a shadow of the legacy left by the great Meklen Armash .

When Tiammen was born, his tail—a rare but looked-down-upon trait—immediately marked him as unfit for any respectable position in his father's eyes. After a childhood of being mostly ignored, Tiammen left Hearthaven at 18, seeking opportunity in Rueside. His imposing Dragonborn stature and family connections were just enough to secure a position as a Sentry in the Silk Guard.

He quickly gained a reputation for his gullibility and love of revelry, making him an easy target for pranks. However, his jovial personality and dedication to his duties made him a surprisingly beloved figure. One evening at the Pit Inn, his fascination with puzzles led him into a conversation with the charming rogue, Carmine Calim . Carmine, recognizing a mark, spent the night plying the Dragonborn with drinks and tales. He spun a lie about being a new Silk Guard member tasked with moving 'surplus' armor to the docks.

A drunk and eager-to-help Meklen happily assisted, and the pair spent hours hauling several sets of valuable House of Silk armor away. The next morning, the sober realization of his catastrophic mistake hit him. The stolen armor was a threat to his job and another stain on his family's tarnished reputation.

The Dead Wyrm's growing influence on Rueside is an unknown threat to Meklen, who is completely unaware that he is the focal point of a centuries-old vendetta that could doom the entire city.
