 This folder will contain a variety of content, from writing to potentially art. I'll also be trying to maintain a log of all important things relating to Kliff that happen in games to help me maintain his continuity and story. I won't always announce when things are added to it, I'll simply add things and occasionally link things in the main server if I want to share something specific. Otherwise, check in often to see if there's anything new!
+====== Curtain Call ======
+Kliff has gained a new outlook on life. His time outside of the Crooked Peaks had not been kind to him, and yet, he's managed to retain his gentle heart. Percy officially becomes a Rimeclaw, the pair of them living together in their shared home as a family. Lonnal, too, stays with them for a time, and takes an open invitation for mealtimes with him. In fact, so does each and every one of Kliff's many traveling companions from his time as an adventurer. All are welcome to share a meal with him and Percy, visit the temple, or come for training at the Hearthvale Skirmisher's Academy in WelMet.
+Kliff continues his good works, doing more now that he's able to dedicate himself full time to them. He helps wherever he is able, even outside of the temple and Academy. Whenever a friend needs him, he's there, though he refuses to go out adventuring anymore. There are others who can take his place. Kliff has no room in his life for violence or brutality anymore. After many nights spent praying to Eldath for peace, he's finally gotten his wish. Instead, Percy now takes up the mantle, stepping up and traveling all throughout Biomia being a "big-shot hero" as they like to say. Kliff couldn't be more proud of the person they've become.
+And when his time finally does come in a few decades, there are likely many who will want to say goodbye to a man who has touched their hearts in numerous ways. He will not be alone when his time comes, surrounded by people who love him, held in their embrace before he is embraced in the next life by people who have patiently waited for so many years to hold him again.

+When Kliff's old age results in a peaceful death, Jarxis builds him a statue.  This 50+ft statue is on the outskirts of Wellmet, and everyone can see it from a ways off as they walk down the main road into town.  The statue facing the road is Kliff holding Ekani's axe aloft roaring fiercely in the face of evil.  Smoke seems to twist and roil off of the axe itself, which makes sense as you get closer to the statue.  Walking closer to the statue you can see that not only is the massive base hollow, but there is a huge room beneath Kliff's muscular torso.  This room is dug down below ground level several feet, with the statue providing cover from rain, wind, and other weather for any weary travel who might enter.  Inside it's clear that the arm of the statue and the axe are actually just a very elaborate chimney for an enormous and ever burning hearth.  There are plentiful benches and seating inside the shelter.  Etched in the walls are kind words and affirmations for any that may feel beaten down by the world.  Every day the faithful of Eldath bring huge pots of stew to simmer at the edge of the hearth, free to any that want it.  To the side are simple clothes available free of charge on a few small shelves.  The clothes are not fancy, but there always seem to be more there, maybe they appear on their own or maybe travelers are inspired to leave something for others.
+Many travelers weary from the snow or rain have stopped here to warm themselves at the enormous ever burning hearth.  In time this monument to a great man becomes a major landmark that all travelers recognize.  Like the man it honors the fearsome exterior is only skin deep, inside it offers nothing but warmth and compassion to all.
