Abel

Abel begins as a warm-hearted spellsword from isolated Cryostorm, eager to become the kind of hero he admires. Learning what heroism costs does not extinguish that wish, but it makes his humility and concern for others more consequential. He discovers that he is Kyanos’s Envoy, able to carry the Avatar’s presence into Lore without losing the person his friends know. After Kyanos falls, Abel’s grief becomes a plan to expose the gods as fallible: he helps Iona gain power while hiding the bodily cost of using an Avatar’s power, even as Kyanos’s power destroys his own body. The Hero refuses to let him arrange his own death, and their friends rally to save them both.
