## Description

A close friend of the original founding members, Katara Jaegen would join up with them during their time spent travelling before Inari's death. Katara is a charismatic Canor who aims to support her friends as much as possible. Her abilities are aimed towards helping her compatriots, especially within the Depths. She wields Heavy Weapons, currently wielding an Enforcer's Hammer. Her abilities of support include a sacred Vow of Mastery with her comrades, the ability to calm their sanity within the Depths, and provide comfort and healing with her use of the Flamecharm ability Graceful Flame. After Inari's death, she would take time on the surface, advancing the Ruin Hunters (Second Era), before headed to Layer 3, as she wished to seek out the Immortal Flamecharmer, Amorus Pleeksty, in order to further her knowledge and ability of Flamecharm.

## Early Life

Katara Jaegen was born in 12XX, in the Central Luminant. She was born into a family of guards, and was expected to follow her families footsteps, and live to be a simple guard with no intelligence to speak of, being commonplace within Canor culture. She hated this predisposition, and used her initial training to steal a ship and sail to the Etrean Luminant, landing on Erisia. She constantly trained to become adept to the Song, and further her intelligence, to break the Canor stereotype she was expected to follow.

## Joining the Ruin Hunters

While training in Erisia, Katara came across a wounded Lance Drameus, whom was separated from his group. She assisted him and helped him to find his group, where Winter and Lance invited her to join their blossoming guild, the Ruin Hunters. She gladly accepted, being a Canor, happy to have companions in her adventures.

## First Era

Katara would regroup with the Ruin Hunters in the Songseeker Wilds, progressing with them all the way through the arid Starswept Valley. They'd brave through onslaughts of Threshers and even menacing Desert Knights. They spent weeks within the deserted areas of the Starswept Valley, before accidentally stumbling upon the Deep Thresher Nest. They'd wash their face and be granted access into the Greathive Aratel, a place they would come to frequent in their course of gaining knowledge and power. They settled and worked out of the Hive, using their resources in return for their assistance. During this time, Katara and Lance would grow closer and eventually bare two children, Lorelai and Kaladin. They would travel back to the Etrean Luminant after over two years in the Hive, where they would be a vital force in defending Etris from the Megalodaunt Rumbling. The guild gained massive reputation from their defense of Etris, and the Lord Regent caught wind of them. The Lord Regent sent for them, and requested that they seek out Duke of Erisia, and retrieve the Forge of Sin. They reluctantly agreed and traveled to Erisia, seeking out Duke. They found him and had an extremely long fight which ended with the group fleeing. Inari split from the group and travelled to Minitrysa, using the Crypt to try to gain weapons for the group to use while the remaining three laid low in Miner's Landing. While the three travelled and fought in Miner's Landing, they received word that Inari had died at the Crypt. After this, Lance left back to the Hive to raise his and Katara's children.

## Second Era

For five years following the death of Inari Ixatoki, Katara travelled with Winter, during which they also recruited a Chrysid named Inari Eneka. She travelled with them, going between the surface and Scyphozia. She gained her Bell with them, and when they decided to venture to the Eternal Gale, Katara travelled back to the surface, going to raise her children with Lance.
