Kel became a warrior renowned for his bravery and cunning. He famously sailed the mysterious seas of Sanghelios, slaying semi-mythical terrors like the [[Sand Dwellers of Il'ik]], the many-mouthed [[Watcher of the Lonely Harbor]], and the nine serpents of [[Dur'at'dur]]. Because he was so keen on ridding the seas of monstrous creatures, Kel had little interest in becoming [[kaidon]], and so he gladly left the position to his uncle.{{Ref/Reuse|soi22}} | ||
During one of many enemy assaults on 'Darsam's familial [[keep]], his uncle was captured by the powerful sea lord and rival kaidon, [[Nesh 'Radoon]]. In response, Kel dutifully invoked the "[[right of release]]" and set off to liberate Orok. Without a navy of his own, Kel sailed alone to infiltrate 'Radoon's keep under cover of night. After scaling the walls of the keep and slaying his rival's best swordsmen, Kel and Orok raced to make their escape. As Kel prepared to dive off the keep's wall to safety, he was mortally wounded when a spear struck him in the back. As he fell to his death toward the waves below, Kel was touched by the rising light of his divine father, the god-star [[Urs system|Urs]], and was then transformed into pure light. | During one of many enemy assaults on 'Darsam's familial [[keep]], his uncle was captured by the powerful sea lord and rival kaidon, [[Nesh 'Radoon]].
