Kappael, the Echo of the Spring

Kappael was once the guardian spirit of a healing spring, revered by villagers as a symbol of fortune and renewal.
For generations, its waters healed wounds and eased sickness.
But when war came, men used the spring to drown bodies and wash away their blood, turning its waters into a grave.

Kappael tried again and again to purify it, but each drop absorbed more human sin.
His spirit took physical form to linger among the water’s reflections — appearing as a small, turtle-like child, cheerful and playful.
Yet his shell is a fragment of liquid stone that holds the memories of the swamp’s dead.

Kappael now wanders the brightest marshes, playing with the reflections of the water and luring the unwary with laughter and song.
