Backstory

Born into the soot-stained poverty of Ironhold 's lower districts, Jeremiah Dawnstone was a tunnel-rat before he was a holy man. Unlike the aristocratic knights who often claim glory, Jerry found his faith in the crushing dark of a collapsed mine shaft, where he kept twenty men calm for three days with nothing but stories and songs until rescue came. This event, known locally as 'The Long Note,' brought him to the attention of the Order of the Blue Flux.

In the decades since, Jerry rose not through martial prowess, but through sheer, unyielding endurance and radical kindness. He became the latest 'Saint'—a title in Ironhold that is less a blessing and more a grim duty. The Saints are the wardens of the Great Seal deep within the mountain, the barrier keeping the void entity Arkanthrax bound.

Jerry led a desperate expedition, 'The Candlelight Party,' into the abyssal depths to perform an emergency rejuvenation of the wards. He was the only one to return.
