Dao-san-Samith, currently the closest living heir to Duke Barayan-san-Samith, has lived, until recently, a privileged life. Amadorad is not a forgiving place, with the constant threat of entropic attack on nearly all borders, Amadoradi people are, by necessity, extremely martial. Some of that zeal made it into Dao's blood, but his interests ran counter to those his father sought to instill. Barayan wanted his son to learn of leading men, defending his people, and holding back the nigh-inevitable hordes for generations to come. Dao went through the motions and learned a bit of statecraft here and there, but his true passion was his utter fascination with mechanized weapons and the endless layers of undercity.

His consuming interest started with an ill-fated fall into the undercity beneath his childhood home. A game of hide-and-seek turned life-threatening when Dao stepped on an unstable stone, uncovering an undiscovered one-way path into ancient catacombs. Fortuitously, he was uninjured by the fall, but climbing the steep slope was beyond his capability at the time. Looking about the forgotten tomb, he found his greatest possession: a pristine ebony pistol without a speck of dust, rust, or decay. Placing his hand on its strangely warm surface bound the two together, and, with its help, Dao navigated through and out of the almost-death sentence his trip to the undercity should have been. He was touched by the experience and continued almost nightly forays into the depths until his father got in hot water with the Avatar. Again, fortune was with him, and he was not in his chambers the night his family was taken. Unfortunately, that has left him without direct support and on the run.

Now, Dao is left to his own devices. He's lost access to his family's resources and is constantly at risk of discovery and capture. He finds himself in Glorious Kados, unsure of his next steps, but confident that Fate will not let him down.
