Old man Keledek show up at the camp at (Temple) ruins, unknown where he came from
~ Slate is brought to meet him; vetting him as secretive but not malicious, Slate arranges for the stranger to meet with the other Silver Stars at the town's inn.
Keledek has a way with people and a clear knack for magic.
After chatting for a while, party agreed to escort the man into the chapel/sanctum in order to study nearly-vanished 'hieroglyphic'/pictorial wall art from before the desecration.
Keledek can confirm that the old runes/images constitute proprietary magic fomulae, sort of like a scroll but spread out across a room. It doesn't serve an immediate use, but of major interest was the secretive circle-triangle glyph tucked around back of the skull altar. He smiled and revealed this to be the symbol of his own order, the Journeyman.
Journeyman are traveling mages who bring news of clans and families to their friends and families across the vast span of this post-Maelstrom world, using the circle-triangle glyphs themselves as anchors for teleportation in the night. They clearly have other larger motives, but satisfied that he's a friend, the party remained on good terms with Keledek. Zeer especially showed interest in the Journeymen due to his wanderlust and wide-eyed curiosity, and was even teased with the possibility of learning some Journeyman techniques down the line.
