Not to be confused with Lord Kadash, a lord of Thring.
Few Lords Sanguine are as good at teasing out useful information from Tarrasque blood visions as Lord Kardash, the Swordsage. When he was young, he took a knife red from the forge, marked his face thrice and thrice and had his ears, mouth and nostrils sewn up. Sight is sufficient for him and he knows where a blow will land before it is swung. In his prime he slew an aboleth of the Sunless Sea and sent Lord Ward (19.04) staggering to his knees with a single blow.
Now however, Lord Kardash never ventures from The Hill of the Swordsage (11.20), where he teaches his apprentices in silence and spends long hours staring at the movements of the stars that circle above his hill. Many come to his hill to seek out his teachings but few are chosen as apprentices.
Hooks
- If his mouth and nostrils are sewn up, how does Lord Kardash eat, drink and breathe?
- Tell me more about the Sunless Sea!
- Why does Lord Kardash gaze so intently at the stars? What does he see there?
