Thaloren moves like wind through leaves: deliberate, low, and always aware of above and below. He wears a living cloak woven of moss and ember-laced liana that faintly smolders but never burns his skin. His gauntleted left forearm is wrapped in charred bark and silver wire — a graft from an ancient blaze that scarred him and still hums with residual heat. He favors layered tunics of dyed bark and deep green silk, with dangling copper charms shaped like curled flames and fern fronds. His voice carries the dry crackle of kindling when he laughs. Unexpectedly, his boots are made of rain-wet moss and sponge, always damp despite the faint heat he carries; the contradiction makes people wait a beat before deciding whether he brings warmth or drenches their hems.
