Backstory

Quillon Murdock Raadow, the guardian of the Great Lighthouse of Emberfield, is a figure shrouded in mystery and solitude. Despite his gruff and unfriendly demeanor, those who reside in Emberfield recognize him as an essential fixture of their community, the silent protector providing guidance to ships navigating the tricky waters of Silk Bay.

Quillon grew up in the bustling trade city of Emberfield. He was raised on stories of the heroic sacrifices of Archmage Ariel and the Emberfield Mages, which instilled in him a deep respect for the town's resilience. He showed early promise in the arcane arts and earned a place as an apprentice at the prestigious Emberfield Academy. However, he left this promising path to take up the post of lighthouse keeper, drawn by a mysterious calling he himself cannot fully understand, a pull toward the sea and the ancient stones of the lighthouse.

For decades, Quillon has dedicated his life to maintaining the beacon and its solitude, protecting its secrets as diligently as he watches over the bay. Over the years, his isolation has deepened his connection to the ethereal forces that haunt the coastal landscape. This trait has allowed him to save more than one soul from the treacherous shoals, his warnings often coming as preternatural intuitions, though few dare to inquire further into the source of his insights. He is more than a keeper of the light; he is a warden against the darkness that slumbers in the deep.
