Cadan Falherion

**Cadan Falherion** is the father of Tookeire Falherion and a fisher by family. He is a former rebel in the Peasants Rebellion of High Rock, former Knight of Man, a member of the Mirror Society, leader of the Red Sons, and follower of Rary's teachings, his father by blood.

## History

Cadan was conceived out of wedlock by the young up-and-coming mage Rary and his mother Douine, a young noblewoman from the newly established colonies in Ubaia. Her pregnancy was kept a secret through the aid of Rary's magics, but shortly after Cadan's birth his mother became the heir apparent to House Qaar and they had to give the baby up for adoption and keep his existence a secret.

He was taken in by a war buddy of Rary, Garome Falherion a man who saved his life but had since retired at his ancestral home due to his injuries. During his toddler years they would make clandestine visits, but after Rary left Douine they both stopped visiting.

He was raised by his adoptive father in the fishing village of Tail's End, and in his adolescence learned he had innate magical prowess, but kept it hidden due to its forbidden nature in the countryland.

### Peasants Rebellion

Cadan started his leadership in a peasant's rebellion in High Rock. He cautiously used his inmate magical prowess to subtly instill confidence in allies and fear in his enemies. After their victory, he wed a merchant's daughter and from there he made many connections with the upper classes and moved on to more influential matters. He was recognized for his victory against odds and charisma.

Not many years later, his wife was taken into custody by inquisitors for accusations of practicing witchcraft, In reality, locals had witnessed Cadan's magic but he could not dare tell his wife of his abelites due to her devout religious nature. She was burned at the stake after being found guilty by trials.

He took his young boy Tookeire with him as he traveled around Badoual, inwards towards the cities and towns and away from the backwards countryside. Eventually he met one Master Kazoo in New Badoual, and over the next few years dreamed with him of starting a new utopia on the other side of the world. After Kazoo's tragic and sudden passing, he gathered his team and set out on a voyage across the Brilliant Sea to Ubaia. Kazoo's star apprentice Kazimir followed in his footsteps and wanted to honor his master's memory by following Cadan across the sea.

### Red Sons

His band of settlers made the journey moistly sound, but life was rough across the sea. The wilderness, while fertile and beautiful, was hostile to man in every other way. His colony eventually fell, and what was left of his team became nomads who travelled from town to town seeking work to survive.

Eventually his hope in Kazimir's vision dwindled andhe settled down. He eventually became a professor at the Green College in Broadneck, where he taught about many subjects he had studied in Badoual, including his specialty: sacred geometry. What was left of his team disbanded and lived normal lives in their professions in the port town.

### The Students

Many flocked to extracurricular groups he formed where he gave various talks such as on history and philosophy. Here he started a cult like following that would become the extremist group The Students.
