Editing Kain, the Exile (section)

==Atropos==
When Kain fled Bael Turath after his rebel band was forcefully disbanded, he took little with him.  In particular, he wore little for protection other than his cloak (see below).  So, when he entered elven lands, he quickly sought out one of their famed weavers of Braidmail.

Elven smiths do not part with their highly valued pieces of armor lightly, however.  Kain had little money, and not much else to offer.  The smith he found, a surprisingly talkative, quick-to-laugh elf called Laki, merely smiled and shook his head when Kain asked him what he would take in exchange for a new suit of his finest Braidmail.

Kain did not give up, however.  He spent many weeks hunting the elusive elk from which fine suites of Feyhide are fashioned, and finally managed to bring back a fine specimen for Laki.  But the smith merely shrugged and thanked Kain.

Not to be refused, Kain traveled to the highlands on the borders of dwarven lands, and there, near the summit of an active volcano, slew a wyvern, and returned with three of its eggs, highly valued by smiths for their heating properties.  Laki smiled again, but remained elusive on the subject of the armor Kain desired.

Frustrated, but now more determined than ever, Kain spent nearly every day at Laki's shop, helping him work, all the while asking about his armor.  Finally, one day, Kain blew his top, and let loose a train of invective at Laki that would make an Orcish bartender blush.  Laki, however, simply burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.  When he recovered, Laki finally agreed to make Kain his armor, saying he had shown sufficient determination.  Kain didn't quite know what to think of this strange smith.  (Irrefutable Braidmail +3)
