Shon'bal

Shon'bal is the third and one of the four Guardians of Bleakhope Chapel, home to the Shard of Goreil. Shon'bal's peaceful nature and kinship with a native is what earned him Goreil's blessing.

During the Age of Natives, a native was shunned away from his tribe due to him refusing to murder innocent creatures of the woods.

Shon'bal saw the native being chased by a dire wolf and risked his life to keep the wolf away, this worked but at the cost that the native had already been wounded and was soon to bleed out.

Shon'bal could do nothing but comfort the native as his last moments were in agony.

Goreil not only blessed but gave him intelligence comparable to a star child's, this also caused his body to become more dragon-like as they were referred to as the wisest of animals.
