Timeline
392 AC - Carnelian Crown Ceremony
Cathal attended ceremony where Kojo Oduro received Carnelian Crown from Basileus Avkan ruun-Heshkari, teasing Kojo with sly, mocking grin from stands.
393 AC - Amarok Chase at Storvhit
During Storvhit expedition, someone ordered Cathal to run when Amarok wolf Eidolon appeared, causing giant creature to lose interest in Belisenki and chase Cathal through pines before Cathal leapt onto wolf’s fur.
Carnelian Crown Ceremony
In 392 AC, Cathal attended the ceremony where Kojo received the Carnelian Crown from Basileus Avkan ruun-Heshkari. During the momentous occasion, as Kojo climbed the stairs to receive Asgartha’s highest honor, Cathal provided moral support from the stands.
Cathal teased Kojo with a sly, mocking grin, demonstrating the playful familiarity between longtime friends. This gentle ribbing occurred alongside more overt displays of support from other Jusaka Blaze members - Carmela raising her fist proudly, Uju whistling loudly, and Gault offering warm encouragement.
The presence of his Jusaka Blaze friends, including Cathal’s characteristic teasing, helped buoy Kojo’s confidence as he approached the Basileus, questioning whether he was truly worthy of such an honor.
