Seer Kelgan

## History

### **Craftworld Ulthwé**

Kelgan was born after the Fall of the Eldar Empire where trillions of Aeldari perished on the Crone worlds when Slaanesh was born. He grew up being Psychically attuned and set upon down upon the Path of the Seer. Had Kelgan been born on a different Craftworld he would have preferred a life of Runecrafting but the times would forbid Kelgan from doing so. The Rigid Asuryani Path both protected and cursed the Craftworld Eldar as they are forced into disciplined sects in order to ensure Slaanesh does not prey upon their Soul that burns brightly in the Warp.

### **Logen Gilfaseith**

Logen Gilfaseith the Scholar was far older and wiser than Kelgan was at the time of meeting sometime in early M39. The two shared many laughs and explored the nuances of Asuryani history particularly in concerning the potential resurgence of their race. Though Kelgan shared the same ideals as Logen, his mentor shared much more extreme and radical beliefs about the resurgence of the Aeldari Empire back to it's former glory. His old mentor took it to extremes that would have his rage flare up causing disturbances where he would go on Ulthwé. Though his mentor would eventually leave him to pursue more dastardly actions outside of the rigid structure of the Asuryani Path Kelgan would remain on Ulthwé to continue his Seer training and hone his skills for when he would be called upon to use them. He knew that Logen left Ulthwé to travel the stars as a Corsair not to return for many cycles or ever but fate had other ideas for them.

Sometime in mid M39 Logen Gilfaseith returned to Ulthwé now less of a refined Scholar instead a mixed breed between a haughty Corsair and humble Bookworm. Kelgan thought nothing of his old mentor until he was tasked to accompany Logen Gilfaseith and his crew on their next trip from Ulthwé. Kelgan protested that a Seer has no place within the confines of a Corsair ship citing that the tendencies of a Corsair would be perilous at best to a Seer. Alas a tasking from one of the many hands of the Seer council of Ulthwé could not be persuaded and the task was carried out.

Kelgan would travel with Logen Gilfaseith, now the Corsair and Raider of the Solar winds, across to where they were off to next. The crew of the ship "The Void Dweller" was as barbaric as Kelgan though, they burned quite brightly within the Warp but toted Spirit Stones like their Craftworld cousins but do not tread the path as the Craftworlders do. They arrived where they were needed in a far off Maiden world under the protection of several Corsair ships. It would be here the young Seer realizes his duty of following these Corsairs. The world had a settlement of Mon'keigh, primitives in the eyes of the Eldar race, the Corsairs had timed the meeting so that the first wave of voidships and spacecraft would take out any stations and communication arrays whilst the second wave mostly had troops. Kelgan would accompany Logen down to purge the planet of the primitives as his tasking was to accompany the Corsair Logen Gilfaseith where he went until the return to Ulthwé.

Hours before making planetfall to begin the hunt against the primitives Kelgan would meditate on the Skeins of fate and attempt to divine the future as training would instruct him to do. The Skeins of fate were many and he chose a few tendrils that seemed the most likely to happen, but fate would not be so accurate in it's telling. By the time the sun had risen on the planet most of the primitives were hunted down and slaughtered to a man. A recollection of a conversation by a Felarch amongst "The Void Dweller" recounts an exchange between Logen and Kelgan, the reason he bears a Spirit stone not of his own embedded within the Runic armour Kelgan carries with him:

*This would not be his first adventure outside of Ulthwé and nor his last, he didn't anticipate that his role was to assist Corsairs and not venture with a strike team of Aspect warriors like many others before him would do. In the background the Corsairs ran amuck burning, razing, and killing what they saw in a blood filled frenzy against the primitives. A branch would be snapped off to his left and Kelgan raised his Shuriken pistol firing a burst, a near miss thank Isha, before Logen Gilfaseith would step out.*

*"Seer. Your shot misses it's mark." Logen retorts at the near miss. The Corsair had found a child attempting to hide in the bushes off to Kelgan's left, he slew it with impunity.*

*"Corsair. I could say you and your men lack the grace and civility of an Aspect Warrior."*

*The two would trade sneer remarks but at the end share a laugh at reuniting.* *Though most of the fighting had already died down the primitives had a trick up their sleeve even Kelgan couldn't have predicted. Picking up the corpses of the Mon'keigh amongst the ruins of their settlement the Corsair group found a lone child. It was badly hurt and trembling at the sight of the Corsairs. Some Corsairs thought it would be amusing to have it fight against one of the fauna with a blade of sorts, others retort that it would be much more fun to keep it alive and find another one to put them against each other, but the decision that was casted was through Logen Gilfaseith to dispose of it personally. He drew his weapon, an elegantly crafted blade and handled with grace, bringing it above his head for a downward swipe there were two clicks. The corsairs failed to notice the triggerman, the child grabbed onto the Corsair's leg as distantly a Mon'keigh primed an explosive device on the child. Barbaric tactics never the less, most of the Corsairs made for the triggerman the child was slain at the hands of Logen but it was too late. The small primitive village was engulfed in an fiery explosion that could be seen from the mountain tops nearby. Many Corsairs would die in the explosion but Kelgan lived as fate had it, he picked through the village looking and found what he was looking for. A Spirit stone amongst a pile of armour belonging to Logen. He wished that fate had kept his old mentor on the life of the Craftworld but alas his search for freedom reached it's pinnacle when searching for resurgence.*

*Kelgan would return to Craftworld Ulthwé having partially succeeded his mission, the Corsairs were aided in their mission but the person he was assigned to assist perished. The Council would review his findings and allow him to keep the Spirit Stone of Logen Gilfaseith if he so chose. Kelgan would keep Logen close by to remind him of his failures outside of Ulthwé sworn to never repeat such a trivial mistake again, he never went to anyone on the Path of the Grief about the incident. Few know the tale and even less remember Logen.*

### **The Fools gambit**

Not long after the incident with Logen Gilfaseith Kelgan would continue his meditation and training. The incident on the maiden world would move him towards developing powers and training in Pyromancy especially. In mid M39 he was assigned under a mentor to continue his training, this mentor was a trained Warlock by the name of Caenroth Mearthan "The Wind Rider". Caenroth was traded the Path of the Warrior before being apart of a Shining Spear Aspect Shrine on Craftworld Ulthwé but became an esteemed Warlock afterwards. His time spent treading the Path of the Warrior honed his abilities for war and it ought to be about time he passes on his trianing tothe next generation of Seers.

Their first meeting was hectic to say the least as Caenroth was a fool in Kelgan's eyes. He had pride in his abiliites but was less heavily armored than most of his contemporary peers when going out onto assignments to conduct tasks for Ulthwé. His mentor did instruct Kelgan on how to hone his anger and skills in war, though what didn't translate was the idea that a warrior should be so lightly armoured for speed that they are under threat of death if they were hit.

Caenroth would meet his end though on an expedition deep into Mon'keigh territory, though he moved as if he rode the winds himself it would be folly when he pursued Mon'keigh into an ambush.

His Spirit Stone would be recovered and Kelgan was to keep it with him in accordance to his role. A great warrior was to continue keeping the living informed even through death.

## Rune Crafting

### From Student to Master

By M40 Kelgan had mastered most of the nuances of Pyromancy and Divination becoming a potent Seer. His last obstacle would be to receive Runes and learn the art of Rune crafting. The Art did not come easily to him due to the wide array of Runes and the different skills required to make certain Runes. Kelgan's last mentor handed him Runes of Combat in a special Wraithbone box that he keeps on his left waist. These Runes are engraved with his Kelgan's Psychic energies and bear the markings of his name but also the previous crafter's name.

Upon competition of his training to a full Seer Kelgan was granted a Rune etched by the Council of Ulthwé that is granted to all Seers. This Rune would act as a Focus for his powers ensuring he is protected from the Perils of Sha'eil that lurk for those Eldar that manifest powers from it (The Warp).

### M42

Kelgan would be assigned to a Strike force with two other Asuryani, a Howling Banshee by the name of Avalene "Ava" Gale and a Dark Reaper by the name of Tenraniel. These two would receive personalized Combat Runes created by Kelgan after showing the need and developing bonds closer than what Kelgan normally develops with others. In the eyes of Kelgan Avalene is a young naive Banshee who treads too closely to the Path of the Outcast.

## Fartureii Angau

A Witch Staff is an Eldar Force Weapon embued with Psychic energies and is a sign of a Seer's position. Those that are struck by it risk being burnt to their vary soul by the energies assuming they haven't succumbed to the injuries incurred by the weapon itself.

Unlike most With Staff's with an ornate top Kelgan requested that his be crafted with a blade tipped top to be akin to a Singing Spear. The weapon retains standard weight and is still two handed. Many Eldar would name their weapons and Kelgan bestowed the name "Weapon from Fate".

## Philosophy

### Mon'keigh Asuryani Relations

Kelgan's philosophy would evolve overtime from a subtle distaste for the younger races in the galaxy to a burning hate for them especially Mon'keigh. The teachings of his first mentor would entrench him in the belief that the Eldar as a species were to return to a glory more than just living on Craftworlds and perhaps settling on worlds. After the death of Logen Gilfaseith at the hands of Mon'keigh his distaste would turn into the burning hate that he holds onto to this day. Mon'keigh are no more than tools similar to ammunition fired from a Shuriken weapon, a means to an end in the eyes of Kelgan. The façade he puts up when initiating diplomacy is one he keeps on for the sake of simplicity mostly keeping his comments about Asuryani superiority to the younger races to himself.
