This is the story of Kaine Huorlwesfv, a Viera who became the Warrior of Light's unusual acquaintance. As the Warrior of Lig...
The biting winds of Coerthas rolled down Haldrath's March upon the Adventurer and their two companions; Alphinaud Leveilleur and Cid Garlond. They were relatively new acquaintances to the Adventurer, but they were all that they had left, the attack on the Waking Sands claiming most of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Past the snow billowing past them, the trio could see their destination just up the hill, the torches and banners standing out amidst the flurry of white.

The knight in charge of overseeing Camp Dragonhead, Haurchefant Greystone, had graciously welcomed the three, though had insisted that he could not assist them until the matter of accusations against Lord Joacin Charlemend Francel de Haillenarte had been cleared. To that end, the Adventurer had to do some investigative digging around the various settlements of Coerthas, starting with Dragonhead. As they passed under the aetheryte, they took note of the people in the area. Merchants mostly, though this could prove useful, as many people visit them to purchase goods. Perhaps they had some dealings with shady individuals.
As the Adventurer stepped towards one of the stalls, they could hear a now familiar voice speaking to themselves. Seemingly counting barrels and crates, a man with tall ears could be seen.

There was no mistaking him, somehow they found themselves once again crossing paths with the peculiar Viera. While as had been the case at Costa del Sol, the Viera hadn't seemed to take notice of the Adventurer, meaning they could slip by without having to deal with their antics. On the other hand, they were looking to speak with a merchant, and having an already established connection with one could prove beneficial. With a sigh, the Adventurer made their way towards the stall.
As they approached, the Adventurer could already hear the Viera grumbling about something or the other, though the sound of snow crunching beneath the Adventurer's feet caused their ear to twitch with interest, which was followed by the Viera turning to greet them. The Viera took a step back, clearly surprised to see the Adventurer once more, though a small smile soon grew upon their lips.
"Well well, I guess you survived your encounter with Titan. Assuming of course you actually fought him." Kaine greeted in the same tone he had used when they had first met the Adventurer.
