Kalum Picksmith

First Key Kalum Picksmith

"Do Not underestimate that man, he may seem calm and well-mannered but nobody becomes a Skeleton Key without being ruthless. We must watch out backs, I for one do not intend to give him any reason to open my locks, its not that I have secrets, but I intend to keep my privacy."
  • Henry Docket, former Master of Keys to the Grand Cleric. Speaking to a friend about Kalum Picksmith one week before he was unlocked and removed from office for Heresy.
  • Not all leaders stand at the head of their people, some lead from the shadows, they allow a figurehead to have the glory, allowing them to do the work that is needed. Kalum Picksmith is one such man. The now head of the Skeletons Keys, the true heads of Garamant.   Kalum has held the title of Skull key for 6 years, stepping into the role when the former died hunting a Maji who had slipped their warden. Under his rule the city has flourished, a new wall was built within the innermost creating the sanctum. a place where Lakoti of the Keys is able to speak directly to him and offer guidance.   Kalums intention for the city is to expand. now the 10 walls are completed and Lakoti is able to commune directly with the city, the time has come to once again expand out, reclaim the waste that was left when the contraction happened. and then spread toward the mountains.

    Physical Description

    Identifying Characteristics

    Kalum, like most Skeleton Keys is almost too ordinary, able to blend into any crowd and stand elbow to elbow with anyone in the city without raising any state of interest.

    Mental characteristics

    Personal history

    Joining the Skeleton keys as the 206th Key at 17, Kalum's rise to leader is like none before him. recruited at random, stolen at birth from the hospital as all Skeleton keys are and raised within the ranks Kalum has no family tied outside the Keys and even within them was often an outsider.

    Personality Characteristics

    Motivation

    Growing up kalum did not believe that he was chosen at random. he believed that Lakoti guided the keys to him. He was right. Knowing this now has given him a drive unlike any.

    Hi there! You may not know me, but I am the sponsor of the Great Leader of Their People Summer Camp Prompt this year! Since you wrote this article, I would like to know, would you mind me reading it aloud on my Twitch channel next week? I have a lot to get through so it helps to do it live while people watch. If not, it's okay! Not agreeing to be streamed definitely does not put you at any disadvantage for winning in my eyes. Please respond swiftly by replying here (make sure to click REPLY under my comment or I won't be notified), message me on my World Anvil profile page, Discord, or anywhere else you find me online.   Thanks again! Whatever you choose, God bless and much success! <3

    Hi, I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner, I didn't get the notification. I'm not sure what my availability will be next week but would be happy to read it if I'm able to find a time that works

    Hi there. I've been streaming at 8am and 8pm Eastern Time every weekday. I believe you misunderstood my ask, however. A couple of people also thought I was requesting they read it, but I was only asking if I had permission to read it live on stream myself! :) If not, it's fine. If so, thank you. If you'd still like to read it yourself, we can try to work something out. Please just let me know.
