## Story

**Kazapath "Kaz" Vathkelke** is a Goliath Berserker Barbarian from the Frost Pass Mountains. His name was Kazapath Giantslayer Vathkelke. He received the name after slaying a giant that had been tormenting his tribe. For reasons yet to be revealed, he was exiled and had his name stripped from him. After being exiled, he began to drift from place to place, aiding people when he could and looking for stronger creatures to fight. His travels have taken him from the far side of the Sillean Empire, to the far side of the Midan Kingdom, he has not yet visited any of the lands to the south.

Kaz has trouble trusting people he meets, and it can take some time for him to grow comfortable around people. This seems to be related to his exile, and some sort of betrayal he had dealt with in the past. Although he doesn't currently have many memories of The Borrowed Souls after dying, he does feel a strong bond with them, even though he is a bit hesitant.

Kaz was one of the members of The Borrowed Souls, sent to investigate Seidan and subsequently died there before being "resurrected".

Recently Kaz made a joke of praying to his "god" by whispering into his hammer, saying that it was his god. Immediately the weight of the maul seemed to grow, and he was almost unable to pick it back up. This event had made him slightly more cautious when it comes to things that involve gods.

Kaz recently gave everyone gifts from his collection of rocks and stones that he has been gathering since before he left home. In return, he was gifted a piece of the Void Breacher's hull, the ship that saved Swage. He was also given a red ribbon from Pele and a piece of sea glass from Dove. He fashioned the latter two items into an amulet that he hung from the ram skull on his shoulder.

Kaz often flies into uncontrollable rages generally right at the start of a battle, but sometimes due to excessive anger or damage. Kaz describes this sensation as being shoved to the back of his mind while something more primal takes over. He still remembers snippets of what happened while in a rage, but it can be blurry and unfocused.

Kaz has found out that his rages are brought on by the prodding of the god Kavaki. Whether or not Kavaki takes control of Kaz during these periods in unknown, however he is the voice that Kaz hears in his head.

Kaz was given a new third name by Swage, his new name is Foxwarden. This replaces the name Kinless he was given after being exiled.

## Jorge

Jorge is an arctic fox the party encountered on their adventure on Mount Tyr. It was injured by a chunk of ice thrown by Esha and was healed by Gary. It now reset comfortable atop Kaz's shoulders, Kaz does not allow him to fight.

## Magic Items

Kaz is currently in possession of the following magical items.

### Vicious Maul

+1 to attack rolls with this weapon. When you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this magic weapon, the target takes an extra 7 damage of the weapon’s type.

### Compass of the Trail Blazer

A genius concoction of clockwork and illusion magic, these devices show a small, illusory map of the area surrounding its current location. While traveling and using the Compass of the Trailblazer, you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) checks to navigate areas in the wilderness. Additionally, you can effectively use the Compass of the Trailblazer to look at a basic holographic-like map of the surrounding area within a 5-mile radius of your current location. A Compass of the Trailblazer can have up to 3 differently colored beacons set at any location that also appear on the holographic-like map. If not within the 5-mile radius of the map, the beacon instead appears at the map's edge in the general direction of where its set location is within the world. When travelling to one of these beacons, the strain and costs of travel are halved.

### Bone Tooth Necklace

Once per long rest the attuned user may blow one of the whistles, summoning the creatures that the whistle is carved as. Currently can summon one of the following 2 brown bears, 2 dire wolves, 2 giant eagles. There are other whistles that can be added to it once found.
