Kelki is a reliable Summit Road guide, and Murephan has taken a liking to the young and vivacious dromite. When traveling with Murephan and those being aided by the Summit Road, Kelki spends a lot of time explaining what Murephan really meant with his harsh words. In these "translations," Kelki is usually correct. Fortunately for everyone involved, Kelki defers to the elan's judgment in important matters. Kelki has nothing resembling common sense, and the dromite is too fond of fire.
