Kainwyth had been at the bottom of the Ordning amongst the Cloud Giants of the Isles of Reus for a long time. Most recently, he attempted to increase his station by gambling with Vortessa. Failing that, he was cursed to wear only an elaborate Egyptian-style headdress.
After Nesdin freed the real Calindra from inside the Solithar Shard, Kainwyth was freed from his near-nudist curse and returned to serving Calindra, retaining his fancy headdress despite it being a reminder of Vortessa's curse.
