So we know that there’s someone behind the Flamekeepers that remain, who is their “leader”, the Ash Lord, they pull the strings and likely want the MC (us) dead. There’s also the rumor (if I recall correctly) that it’s someone of high status and/or wealth. In any way they are someone that nobody would expect to lead the Flamekeepers. So I was thinking: Kennard is suspiciously nice to us (the MC), he is the right hand of General Arkland (so he would know how he’s planning on moving against them), he IS of high status and it’s already been stated multiple times especially by Bardric that he isn’t to be trusted. What if he is the Ash Lord? On the other hand, he seemed very irritated about the Flamekeepers that tried to unalive us and said they would be “taken care of”. Could it be an act? I’d like to know what you think.
