| |Biography=Little is publicly known of Miras-Kael’s early life, in keeping with [[Rite-Keeper]] tradition. Their name first appears in civic records following a ceremony known as the **Descending Echo**, during which Miras-Kael was observed guiding three initiates through the lower half of the Stonesteps while maintaining full harmonic silence—a feat rarely attempted and never previously completed without faltering tone.
| |
| | |
| They rose to prominence during the Reconstruction of the Outer Vaults, where their orchestration of rite-harmonics stabilized the layering of resonance tablets near collapse. Soon after, Miras-Kael assumed the mantle of Tread-Walker, making them the central ceremonial figure in all major rites from Surn’s Refuge to the Echo Altars of [[Sanctuary Vale]].
| |
| | |
| Unlike many predecessors, Miras-Kael has chosen not to speak outside of ritual. Their commands are issued through gesture-sequences, resonance taps, or echo-breaths. This self-imposed vow of silence has deepened their presence among initiates, who regard them as a living conduit of the stone’s unspoken will.

| | |
| They are currently the only known Rite-Keeper who holds active authority in **all three harmonic paths**—Oath-Binding, Resonant Descent, and Public Interval Synchrony.
