Kellan Blackwood

Chief Sawyer and Greenwarden Liaison

Kellan Blackwood (38) – Representative of Timberwright's Hamlet Title: Chief Sawyer and Greenwarden Liaison Appearance: Broad-shouldered and powerfully built, with arms corded from a lifetime of swinging an axe. Dark brown hair tied back, a thick beard, and deep-set brown eyes that have learned to read the forest as other men read books. His hands are covered in old scars from axe slips and splinters. He wears sturdy wool and leather, with a small wooden leaf pin (a gift from the Greenwardens) on his collar. Personality: Quiet, deliberate, and deeply reverent toward the Rivenwood. Kellan is not a pious man in the Church's sense, but he has a spiritual connection to the forest. He follows the Greenwardens' rules without question—not out of fear, but out of respect. He speaks slowly, chooses his words carefully, and does not suffer fools. He is not afraid of you; he is not afraid of much. Background: Kellan's family has held the Greenwardens' logging license for three generations. He was trained by his father, who was trained by his grandfather, in the sustainable harvest of shadowwood. He delivers a set quota to Westmere each year, trades for supplies, and returns to the hamlet. He has met a Greenwarden maybe five times in his life—and each time, he listened carefully. What He Wants: To continue as before—with one exception. The logging quota has not been adjusted in decades, and the hamlet's tools are wearing out. He needs a new saw blade, new wedges, and rope for hauling. He cannot afford these on his own. He asks for your support in exchange for continued, lawful timber. Secret: He found something in the deep wood last autumn—a stone tablet with carvings in no language he knows. He hid it in his root cellar. He does not know what it is, but the Greenwardens would want it. He is afraid to tell them and afraid not to. Stutter Note: He does not mock Catelina; he simply waits. He is used to silence. When she stutters, he nods and says, "Take your time, my lady." Relationship to You: Respectful but not deferential. He will answer your questions honestly but will not be ordered around. Cross him, and he will retreat into silence. Relationship to Catelina: Warm in a distant way. He has seen her kindness to the hamlet's children during rare visits. He respects her—and suspects she is stronger than she knows.
