Aerthalas

A stout dwarf monk with a long, braided beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect the sky. He wears simple, flowing robes adorned with symbols of the wind, and his feet are often bare, allowing him to feel the earth beneath him. His muscular build speaks of years of training, and he carries a wooden staff that he uses both as a weapon and a tool for meditation. His skin is weathered from years spent outdoors, and he has a calm, serene presence.

Brother Korran is wise and patient, often speaking in riddles and metaphors related to nature and the winds. He has a strong sense of duty to protect the balance of the world and is fiercely dedicated to his students. Despite his serious demeanor, he has a playful side, often using humor to lighten the mood during training. He values respect and discipline, but also encourages creativity and personal expression in martial arts.

Once a guardian of the ancient winds, Brother Korran dedicated his life to mastering the Gale Step martial arts. He traveled across Aerthalas, seeking wisdom and honing his skills, only to return to his homeland to share his knowledge. Now, he trains aspiring warriors and adventurers, teaching them to harness the power of the wind and find balance within themselves. His past is filled with battles against dark forces that threaten the harmony of nature, and he carries the scars of those conflicts with pride.
