Biography
Ebenold Kai is a well-known great astronomer, mentioned by his former associate Roe Estani in the same breath as Planerider Ryn. He later told Orym that Ebenold was his old friend and a retired adventurer and implied that Ebenold was also a member of Grim Verity. Estani gave Orym a letter of introduction to give to him if Bells Hells went to the Aydinlan Seminary in Yios. He suggested that he could provide assistance in bringing justice for the murders of Balan and Zeyar, the Lumas twins.

When Bells Hells arrived at the Aydinlan Seminary seeking Ebenold, they were told by Carolle that he canceled all his classes several months ago and has not been seen at the university since, which the headmaster perceived as a disrespect for the academic calendar. FCG cast Fast Friends on Carolle, who led the party to Ebenold's house in the Vigil Quarter in the Dominion Ring of the city.

The party discovered the garden untended, but the house heavily trapped, and Chetney Pock O'Pea smelled someone in the house. Laudna uncovered a secret door to the basement, where Ebenold and Baryn Vestisho were hiding. Baryn attempted to blind and frighten the party and read a spell scroll to escape with Ebenold, but Bells Hells followed them both to Planerider Ryn's laboratory in the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Orym then gave Ebenold the letter from Estani, and Baryn and Ebenold stood down. After Ebenold realized that Imogen was Liliana Temult's daughter, and some other discussion from the party, he, Baryn, and Ryn explained the contents of the ancient texts the Grim Verity had stolen, as well as all they knew about Ruidus, leylines, the apogee solstice, and the Cerberus Assembly and Otohan's involvement. He and Baryn then decided to stay with Ryn, and Bells Hells returned to the Material Plane.

Ebenold was later contacted by Imogen, who informed him that Ryn had been incapacitated by the Ruby Vanguard. He told the party that he was still in Ryn's study in the Plane of Fire, and that although he was aware that some of his compatriots had gone to the Shadowfell, he did not know if their efforts were successful.
