Ser Aldwyn of House Kess

Backstory

Ser Aldwyn was a decorated captain of the Stoneguard, known for her unwavering faith and tactical brilliance. Five years ago, she was manipulated into a brutal confrontation with Malachar by a rival noble who sought to eliminate the sorcerer as a political threat—but the encounter went catastrophically wrong. Malachar, believing Aldwyn acted out of zealous persecution, cursed her in vengeance. Now, as stone creeps up her right arm and into her shoulder, Aldwyn struggles between her lingering faith in the Stoneguard's righteousness and a growing suspicion that she was a pawn in someone else's game. She refuses to abandon her oath, but she also refuses to die a martyr's death without answers.
