|32px|link=Earth Spirit|class=pixelart]] Kaolin, the Earth Spirit

Deep amid the Upland crags and cliffs there runs a seam of sacred jade long foresworn by highland miners. From this rare material, the likeness of the great general Kaolin was carved and buried at the head of a stone funerary army ten thousand strong—a force of soldiers and holy men, jesters and acrobats, carved by crafstmen and entombed for millennia in the dark embrace of the Earth.

What the craftsmen had not known was that within the strange seam of jade flowed the spirit of the Earth itself—an elemental force at one with the planet. When the force within the carved jade found itself cut off from the life's blood of the world, it gathered its strength over the course of a thousand years and dug itself free and into the light. Now the great Kaolin Earth Spirit strides the Upland roads, fighting for the spirit of the Earth; and in times of need calls forth remnants of his buried army still locked in the loving embrace of the soil.

  • Kaolin believes in a "great cycle" of life, symbolized by a wheel, referring to reincarnation.[3]

Speculation[]

  • Kaolin calls Nature's Prophet "his prophet", and claims to know Tiny's true nature. [4][5]
  • Kaolin worships, or embodies an unknown goddess.[6]
  • Grimstroke states that Kaolin is a puppet handled by an unknown master.[7]
    • Because of these factors, Kaolin may well be the reincarnation of the goddess Verodicia.
