Kaedan does sound like a common name, doesn't it? I'm proud of it, best name I've come up with thus far.

I can have my character run into The New Yorker's character on my way to Zerul, or at Zerul.
Important Edit: By the time my character gets to Zerul, it should be late at night.

As for what happens when I get to Zerul, I'm planning on running into the guys who are trying to stop the withering, or someone associated with them. Hearing their quest to stop the withering, it'd make sense for Kaedan to want to join up since he's on a religious pilgrimage to prove himself right now.

I just hope that the monster in Nemhim will come into play at some point. It feels wrong to just forget about it for now.
