Bright Morn of Issareth (30): ( 昶始 Chang Shi ) A Calaryn Warrior, an injured man unofficially adopted as a nephew of Old God Godlynthe and seeking his past. He is approaching his 30th birthday, the first month will be spent in confinement as he will be in a catatonic state, lost and reliving the memories of his past lives. All Calaryns are half human and have heightened abilities. Morn is unaware of many of his and knows little of what it means to be a Calaryn, something Old God will rectify.
