Edited the description[edit]

"only to find it burned down by Krait and his grandmother, who raised him, gone."
This bit didn't make a lot of sense. I don't mind repeating that the place was burned down, but that's really not necessary. However, the mention of his grandmother makes no sense. A person of retiring age basically never has living grandparents. Perhaps the use of "retiring" is not like retiring in old age but is instead meant in the form of "when he no longer wanted to stay at divinity's reach and left it".. so that's retire as in to leave the company of? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.4.173.18 (talkcontribs).

It's what he said, however. Since we're lacking his dialogue, we should include the context of it. He said he grew up in Auld Red Wharf but left to work in DR, and when he returned recently he found the place burned down by the krait and his last relative, his grandmother, killed in the attack. Yeah, it doesn't make too much sense given the attack was relatively recent (per Webbings' event), but there you have it. Furthermore, on occasion his grandmother's ghost would appear and his dialogue would change, he'd even stand and go "Grandmother?" (or something like that) when the ghost appeared. I'm guessing she was just *really* old. And heck, very old age isn't too uncommon in the GWverse - Kisu supposedly lived until about 130-ish before dying (presuming Usoku took the throne on his death), and King Doric lived 115 years and didn't even die of natural causes.
