Køl, the Half-Breed, the Survivor, the Cursed. Køl lives when others fall, returns when others drown, heals where others die. It has always been so. From the day he was found as a toddler standing beneath the Niðing Staff of a village razed by unknown monsters, he has lived where others would surely perish. Some say he is blessed, others that he is cursed. The trollborn man-child has little to say either way. He knows what he knows, mourns those who stood with him, and remembers.
