Kaigan IrongutThe legend of Kaigan Irongut starts in 2005. In a 3.5 edition of Dungeons & Dragons campaign run by my friend, David Sharp. Kaigan is a Cleric or Priest of the Dwarven god, Moradin the All-Father and Soul Forger. This campaign however was only one session in length and soon Kaigan would find himself locked away in one of the folders in the bottom of my desk. A year would pass before Kaigan would make his return. In 2006, in another game, run by another friend, Daniel Smith, Kaigan would make his return, acting as comic relief. This time Kaigan would be accompanied by his trademark keg, which he carries on his back by means of a makeshift backpack harness. Once again he was Cleric of Moradin. It was in this incarnation that Kaigan would introduce the Brotherhood of the Everflowing Tankard, the original name of the Order of the Tankard. However, due to time constraints by Daniel's work schedule, this campaign would eventually end before the story was fully told, and Kaigan once again returned to the bottom of my desk drawer. This time, two years would pass before Kaigan's latest return. In 2008, Kaigan would make his return. Once again, in another 3.5 edition of Dungeons & Dragons campaign called, "The War of the Burning Sky". This time Kaigan and his allies are in the midst of a continental-wide war. They represent the free peoples, fighting against the dominant Ragesian Empire. I am determined to make sure that this campaign runs its full course and Kaigan finally get's to show all his stuff. It has become a joke amongst the members of my gaming group, that Kaigan is in fact a Planeswalker, capable of travelling to the various worlds of the multiverse. I'm starting to believe it.
