From a young age, Kellion became completely convinced of Bridgemoor’s excellence. Yes, it was built by an ancient alliance between Nalathesh and Kendaria, but not long after the city was constructed, Bridgemoor declared itself an independent city-state thanks to clever politicking and pitting Nalatheshi and Kendarian interests against one another until they had to concede Bridgemoor’s independence. Kellion became convinced that this was Bridgemoor’s greatest achievement up to this day, and is inspired to take this a step farther: Bridgemoor should expand. Nalathesh and Kendaria, Kellion believes, would be better off under Bridgemoor’s rule. | From a young age, Kellion became completely convinced of Bridgemoor’s excellence.

To that end, Kellion intentionally makes public alliances with people that will lend him a great amount of legitimacy (such as Meritocrat Hyleth Othen). At the same time, Kellion makes back room deals with unsavory folk like Aradin the Witchblade and Mort Ironheart. He encourages these characters to cause trouble in Bridgemoor and the region around it, fanning the flames of tension between Nalathesh and Kendaria. Kellion works especially closely with Aradin, as the cult leader has a magnetic personality augmented by his Spear of Proclamation.

Kellion works especially closely with Aradin, as the cult leader has a magnetic personality augmented by his Spear of Proclamation. Kellion uses Aradin to convince the Kendarian merchant Lander to steal from the Nalatheshi [[trader]], Isavella, leading to conflict that spirals out of control and results in the murder of Lord Elarion of House Sutian. | ||
This raises tensions to a boiling point, as Kendaria and Nalathesh both ready their troops in case military action becomes warranted. As the heroes travel around the region trying to complete favors and deescalate the situation, Kellion covertly uses his connections to apply pressure and keep anger running hot between the two nations. In turn, this state of affairs makes it essential for Bridgemoor to flex a powerful military arm, which propels Kellion into the spotlight as he becomes the most important political figure in the state. | This raises tensions to a boiling point, as Kendaria and Nalathesh both ready their troops in case military action becomes warranted.
