Kel

Prince Kel is a changeling rogue and the leader of the Gray Tide Principality , which is based on the island of Lastpoint in the Lhazaar Principalities . [1] [2] [3]

Activities

As leader of the Gray Tide, Kel leads the changeling community on Lastpoint and commands their fleet, which is thought to number four ships and is rumored to engage in piracy. [1]

Kel holds a dream of forging for the changeling people a homeland of their own, [1] [2] a place at the far reaches of the world where they might live free and safe from the fears of humankind. [1] To this end, he has successfully attracted many changelings, many of them adherents of the reality seeker philosophy, who in turn wish to establish a perfect changeling community. [2]

History

Long ago, [note 1] Kel became discontent with changelings merely hiding and surviving amongst human societies and instead envisioned establishing an independent changeling realm. He journeyed across Khorvaire , making contact with changeling families, and began a gradual migration to the Lhazaar Principalities before sailing to Lastpoint. There, Kel faced the strange mists called the Gray Tide that surrounded the island and bravely proclaimed this would be their new home. He established the Gray Tide Principality and has led it ever since. [1]

Rumors & Legends

Amongst countless other rumors about the Gray Tide, many people outside the principality claim that Kel is not one changeling but a cabal or lineage of changelings who each take his name to maintain his image. [1]

Notes

  1. "The Lhazaar Principalities, Part Two" mentions an attempted genocide of changelings 1300 years ago, followed by changeling migration, and then introduces Kel, perhaps intending to imply he is over thirteen centuries old. This is supported by the rumor that "Kel" is a name adopted by a lineage of changeling leaders. However, Player's Guide to Eberron neglects this aspect and implies it is the same Kel. Since he's unlikely to be over 1300 years old, this wiki article presumes Kel founded the Gray Tide much more recently.
