A Life of Service and Shadow
From a young age, Meyn was trained within the hallowed halls of the Temple of Spheria. The Wardenhood is more than a military order; it is a spiritual calling that demands the surrender of one's personal life in service to Axratha. As Nienna's "Shadow," Meyn was her most trusted protector, a constant, silent presence at her side for two decades. This bond was deeper than that of a guard and his charge; it was one of a mentor and a devoted student, a relationship that now fuels his quest for justice.
The Warden's Burden
Rescued from the wreckage of his former life, Meyn is a man haunted by failure. He carries the weight of his entire fallen fleet on his shoulders. He is now forced to rely on a crew of outsiders—a sentient ship, a renegade commander, a frontier engineer, and a con artist—allies he would never have chosen, in a mission that violates every protocol he has ever known. His journey is one of navigating a galaxy that no longer makes sense, caught between the rigid duty of his past and the uncertain, chaotic path that lies ahead.
The Tesseract Blade
The signature weapon of the Wardenhood, and Meyn's primary tool, is the Axrathan Tesseract Dagger. This is not a simple blade, but a piece of advanced dimensional technology bonded to the Warden.
Dimensional Phasing: The daggers can partially shift between dimensions, allowing them to bypass physical matter like energy shields and armor plating with terrifying ease.
Mysterious Capabilities: The full extent of a Tesseract Dagger's power is a closely guarded Axrathan secret, but they are known to be among the most formidable personal weapons in the galaxy.
Did You Know?
Meyn is highly knowledgeable in the "Old Songs," the ancient philosophical and historical texts that form the basis of Axrathan culture.
Beneath his stoic, warrior exterior lies the soul of an artist, a part of himself he was encouraged by Nienna to explore but has long suppressed in the name of duty.
The golden wristlets Meyn wears cannot be removed; they are the focusing conduits and containment units for his Axrathan Tesseract Daggers.
