Description & Iconography

Visuals: Kaelen is depicted as a construct of divine artifice; a clockwork figure. Forged from brass and starlight. He has four arms, constantly in motion: one holding his tools, one counting coin, one pointing the way, and one holding his lantern. He glows with an internal, rhythmic light that pulses like a heartbeat. He wears a Cloak of Shifting Maps, the fabric of which constantly changes to display the roads and rivers of the world.

The Avatar: He manifests as The Tailwind. A sudden, warm breeze that pushes a traveler forward, or the sound of ticking gears echoing in a silent room.
