Character from cradle-skysworn by
The Jai exile — still on the margins, still protecting his sister, now navigating a Blood Shadow crisis that makes exile territory even more dangerous.
The Blood Shadow epidemic hits exiles hardest — no faction walls, no Skysworn patrols, no healer on call. Jai Long is keeping Jai Chen alive through the crisis by the same methods he always uses: constant vigilance, ruthless pragmatism, and the willingness to fight anything that gets close. The Blood Shadows in the territory around them are a new threat on top of the usual dangers, and his sister's existing spiritual contamination makes her particularly vulnerable to parasitic madra.
Tall, lean, serpentine Remnant arm, masked face. The same predatory readiness, now sharpened by the additional threat of Blood Shadows in exile territory.
