Editing Kain, the Exile (section)

==Notos==
While active rebels in Turathi lands, Kain and his fellows relied heavily on stealth and concealment to remain hidden.  One of his squad, Notos, was especially daring, yet never seemed to get hurt.  He would often distract guards, drawing fire, to protect his fellow rebels, yet never got hit by an arrow.

Alas, when Turathi officials found and attacked their hideout, Notos was mortally wounded as he and Kain fled.  Before he died, Notos made Kain promise to flee to safety and continue the fight (Kain wanted to stay and fight to the death), and he gave Kain his cloak as a remembrance.

At least, that's what Kain thought at first.  However, after surviving more than his fair share of well-aimed crossbow bolts during his flight through Bael Turath, he suspected the cloak was more than it appeared.  Sure enough, when he had time to examine it, he discovered that is was magic, which explained his dear friend's ability to avoid missile fire (his fatal wound was caused by a scimitar).
