Human? Salt and pepper hair

Appears to have semi-pointed ears of an elf, but the facial hair rules out elven heritage.  As far as we know in-world, half-human children don't exist, so this adds to his mystique.

silver cloak, red highlights, good quality

Trasler as point of origin (where?) , and many unfamiliar places mentioned.

Smokes (like a chimney) rolled cigarettes' made of some foreign plant none of the party could identify.

(Quoting from session notes:)

"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 Journeymen.  

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.  Zeersedlo 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."
