Kalidris Sparrowhawk is a tengu messenger who brings word of the icebrood's siege of the Dominion of Winds.
Biography[edit]
Early years[edit]
Kalidris is a young tengu, notable for her speed as a messenger. She claimed to know every route through the aerie. However, like many tengu, she was isolated within the Dominion of Winds, with very little knowledge of the outside world. She had only been outside the walls twice.
The Icebrood Saga[edit]
The Dominion of Winds' western entrance was besieged by a large force of icebrood in 1333 AE. The icebrood attacked the nearby Town of Cathal, Caledon Haven and Hanto Trading Post on their way to the city. Kalidris was tasked with escaping across the bridge to Caledon Forest before the Frost Colossus sealed it. As she had only been across the wall several times before, she was uncertain of how she could summon aid for the besieged Tengu. However, she encountered Canach and the Pact Commander who were rushing to stop Jormag's attacks. En route, Kalidris admitted that she had never even met a sylvari before and was curious if all were like Canach, to which Canach replied that most sylvari were similarly naive as Kalidris.
The reinforcements were stranded on the bridge, with the Tengu unwilling to open the gates to prevent the Frost Colossus breaking through. Kalidris was able to assist in defeating the Colossus and breaking the siege. Her fellow tengu were stunned that Kalidris had supposedly gathered an army and led the counter-attack in mere hours. In her conversations with the Pact Commander, Kalidris revealed the tengu's fears that the humans would exterminate them. The Commander recognised that Kalidris knew this was not true, and assured her that they would come to their aid. Kalidris had little influence on tengu society and was uncertain if the tengu would change their isolationist policies, but said she would begin sharing her tales in the tavern.
