Appearance
Kavak is a compact human with olive-brown skin, a square jaw, and closely cropped black hair beginning to silver at the temples. His dark eyes are steady and observant, with a habit of studying people's hands before their faces. He wears a weathered chain shirt beneath layered blue-gray vestments, carries a round wooden shield painted with a simple gold sunburst, and keeps his holy symbol suspended from a cord of knotted red thread. His fingers are stained with ink from years of copying prayers and medical records.
Mannerisms
Kavak presses his thumb to the first knuckle of each finger while thinking, as if silently counting a prayer. He speaks quietly until someone is in danger, then becomes startlingly direct. Before treating a wound, he asks the injured person for their name, even when he already knows it.
Personality
Patient, observant, and quietly stubborn. Kavak notices practical needs before dramatic ones, offers help without asking whether it will be appreciated, and has little tolerance for cruelty disguised as tradition. He is warm with children, awkward with compliments, and unexpectedly funny when discussing the habits of medicinal plants.
Ideals
Mercy. A life is not valuable because it is useful, virtuous, or powerful. It is valuable because it is alive, and that is reason enough to defend it.
Bonds
The Hearth of Seven Lamps gave my family shelter when we had nothing. I will protect its people and preserve its archives, even if I must cross half the world to recover a single lost prayer.
Flaws
I treat every preventable death as a personal failure. When someone is hurt, I become controlling, suspicious of other people's methods, and willing to exhaust myself long after good sense says to stop.
Quirks
Background
Kavak Dastan was raised in the archive-temple of the Hearth of Seven Lamps, where his mother copied funeral prayers and his uncle maintained the temple's herb garden. He learned early that faith was not only thunder from the heavens. It was a bowl of broth left beside a sickbed, a name written correctly on a memorial tablet, and the patience to sit with someone who was afraid. Kavak became an acolyte, then a healer's assistant, and finally a cleric after surviving a winter fever that killed most of the people in his village. During that illness, he claimed to hear a voice beneath the crackle of the brazier, telling him that life was a lamp passed from hand to hand, never owned by the person holding it. He now travels as a wandering servant of the Hearth, carrying copied prayers, medicinal supplies, and a stubborn refusal to abandon anyone who can still be saved. His training is practical rather than scholarly, and his divine magic often appears as warm gold light spilling across his hands. Kavak is not a grand preacher. He is the person who checks the bandages twice, remembers the names of the dead, and stands between frightened people and whatever has come to harm them. He adventures because distant roads lead to forgotten villages, and forgotten villages still deserve a light in the window.
“He learned early that faith was not only thunder from the heavens.”
