History
Journey and Death
Cathan came from a privileged background, with wealthy parents who provided him with everything he needed. Despite this upbringing, he yearned for adventure and exploration from a young age. During one of his childhood expeditions in search of monsters to slay, he found "more than he bargained for" and lost a leg as a consequence of his hubris.
Following this injury, Cathan fell into depression as he could barely walk. His parents hired tutors to help reignite his passion for adventure. Vannaka became his primary mentor, teaching him combat skills and pushing him beyond his melancholy. Other notable figures also contributed to his training Zanik taught him wilderness survival, Doric instructed him in crafting weapons and armor and the Wise Old Man introduced him to basic magic
When the opportunity arose to explore Ashenfall, Cathan was recruited by his mentor, the Wise Old Man. He stood at the bow of the ship as they sailed to the new continent, excited about the adventures ahead. However, he would soon learn the meaning of "be careful what you wish for" as chaos unfolded in this strange land.
During his time on Ashenfall, Cathan discovered a potential method to defeat the dragon Dragonwilds:Velgar. His personal journals revealed that he formed an alliance with some of the local goblins, convincing them to help him overthrow their draconic overlord. He specifically mentioned a goblin named Dragonwilds:Spitfoot who was supposed to bring him keys, and referenced a "blue-flamed door in the swamps" that he believed held the secret to Velgar's destruction.
Cathan's plans involved reaching a tower that rises in the heart of the Fractured Plains, where Velgar was said to rest. He also mentioned the need to craft a "Challenge Horn" using dragon materials and dragonkin sigils as a means to confront the dragon. But before he could gather the materials to craft the horn, Cathan was captured by some Dragonwilds:Garou and sacrificed in front of Velgar. His ghost appears to adventurer(s), instructing them on how to craft the Challenge Horn and fulfill his mission to defeat Velgar.
Fellhollow's adventure
Although Cathan was ready to move on, Death had tasked him with an important job, sending Cathan to Dragonwilds:Fellhollow and investigate the region for means to confronting Dragonwilds:Imaru. The adventurer(s) would meet with him, where he informs them how to enter Imaru's lair.
