Inside Borem's castle, we discover Ezekiel, who is a short, small, draconic individual. He has light aqua blue coloration, nice but old clothes, and he sells items to those who come into the castle. Cedwin doesn’t sense any malevolent intent, but he is holding something back from us - he knows something that we don’t. He says he “woke up here.” We ask him why he helps, and he tells us he wants to see Borem freed. He wants people to get through
Jathomites so that Borem can be awakened. He seems to wake/activate only when someone comes into the castle, because he describes the
Brothers of Bal Shadi being here just a couple days ago. We ask him about his previous life - he remembers his mother, a beautiful dragon who would sing to him, and would heal his cuts and scrapes. He lived by a river. There were men that came, and his mother told him to run away and that she would protect him - he tears up - and then he woke up here. He can create ice and mists and fog and things like that. Ta’an soul sights him - he does have a soul - his parents were high-elf and lung dragon (river guardian type). We remember that the mannequin at the Blacksmith’s in
Delzimmer had a dragon soul (gem dragon, type of lung dragon). The locked room we found earlier is his own quarters. He tells us that the Jathomites don’t pay him any attention, until he tried to take the weapon, then they drove him off. He tried to leave once and ended up back here. (Session
