# Storm & Earth Keepers

# Storm & Earth Keepers

After the **Aetherion Choice**, two keepers begin to stir — not to forge yet, but to listen. Dialogue-first coastal beats; no Storm/Earth gear path yet.

## Storm (Comodo)

| Step | Where | What |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Meet | **Wind-Scarred Keeper** — Comodo **188,158** | First talk after Aetherion; small first token |
| Wake | Same keeper (return) | "The sky bruised overnight" — points south to the beach stake |
| Listen | **Wind-Bruised Stake** — Comodo **172,122** | Remake: bind wind without owning it · Refuse: let the gale keep its name |
| Token | Return to the Keeper | Blue Potions + Bronze Coins — **still no forge** |

## Earth (Payon)

| Step | Where | What |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Meet | **Rootwarden** — Payon **163,67** | First talk after Aetherion; small first token |
| Tremor | Same keeper (return) | Wells trembled — points to temple-root soil |
| Listen | **Temple-Root Wellmark** — Payon **152,58** | Remake: scar you can walk on · Refuse: mountains that learned to stay |
| Token | Return to the Rootwarden | Blue Potions + Bronze Coins — **still no forge** |

## Notes

- Gate: \`oro_aetherion >= 1\` (Maren's choice at Izlude Scholar's Plaza).
- Lore Codex updates when one or both keepers have been heard.
- Forging waits on a shard that has a body — intentional teaser cap.
