Adon of Carreras was a witcher of the School of the Wolf who perished inside the Termes Palace Ruins in Toussaint while protecting an archaeological team.
Biography[]
Adon was sent by Vesemir to Beauclair with the task of commissioning Master Tyen'sail to forge Grandmaster Wolven gear. However, the budget provided by Vesemir was insufficient for the commission, forcing Adon to seek additional work. On March 27th, Tyen'sail introduced him to the leader of an archaeological expedition, and they negotiated an agreement: Adon would serve as their protector in exchange for payment while they explored the Termes Palace Ruins.[1]
The expedition arrived at the ruins on April 12th. Adon, sensing danger through his vibrating medallion, insisted the team set up camp away from the ruins.[2] The team had previously mentioned a curse, leading Adon to suspect the presence of wraiths or barghests. Reflecting on the looming threat, he regretted not negotiating a higher price for his services.
On April 20th, Adon used the Purple Ruby, an ancient jewel capable of dispelling the magical barrier at the entrance of the ruins, to gain access. After a brief exploration, he decided to return to consult with Isabelle Duchamp, the expedition leader, about the need for additional guards from Beauclair. However, another team member, George Herbert, convinced her that extra security was unnecessary.[3]
Driven by the allure of riches and glory, the scholars pressed forward into the ruins, with Adon reluctantly accompanying them. Unfortunately, Adon's suspicions were correct: the group was soon ambushed by monsters. As the scholars fled toward the exit, pursued by the creatures, Adon made a fateful decision. He brought down the ceiling in an attempt to block the monsters' path and buy time for the others to escape. Tragically, the collapse also crushed him.
In the end, his sacrifice was in vain; the archaeologists perished before reaching the exit, their remains forever entombed in the palace of the ancient elven king.
