Level(s)	20
Campaign	Nightfall

Keima Kirisu (born 1044 AE) is a Sunspear leader. She is the latest in an originally Canthan line of swordsmen, her father having emigrated from Cantha to Elona. However, she bears a much closer physical resemblance to her Istani mother. She joined the Order of the Sunspears at the age of 18. Keima became Acting Spearmarshal during the war against Kourna in 1075 AE, after Spearmarshal Kormir's disappearance in the Battle of Gandara. Kormir's infirmity meant that Keima continued to hold the position throughout the event of Nightfall. She tried to live up to Kormir's example by leading fairly and wisely, appointing Carla Maindeglace as her second-in-command and Dunkoro as her advisor. She was formally inaugurated as Spearmarshal in 1076 AE on her return to Istan.

In 1078 AE, Keima traveled to Kryta at the behest of Princess Salma to negotiate an alliance of the Sunspears with the Shining Blade. Once there, she agreed to help investigate a series of earthquakes, and ended up trapped underground. There she met Ogden Stonehealer and Vekk, and had an encounter with the Destroyers before fleeing north and becoming involved in the battle against the Great Destroyer. During her time in the north, Keima developed a romantic interest in Phileas Maindeglace, whom she had first met during the war against Abaddon. Though they went their separate ways after the Destroyers' defeat, Keima had a child by Phileas, which left her incapable of participating in the war in Kryta. The war claimed Phileas's life, leaving Keima to raise the child alone.

Dialogue

Nightfall

Istan towns and outposts

"Ahai, friend. General Keima Kirisu at your service. If you're venturing beyond the walls, be careful: the skale and corsairs have been troublesome of late. I would be happy to accompany you, however."

Kourna towns and outposts

"Ahai, friend. These are dark times. Perhaps we shouldn't have staked so much on one battle, but it's too late to change that now. If you're going out, I'd like to accompany you. Lead from the front, as they say."

Vabbi towns and outposts

"What an opulent place this is! Such a difference from war-torn Kourna. It should be a lot easier for us to get by here, but the princes are going to be difficult to convince of the threat Varesh poses."

Desolation towns and outposts

"The chase is on. We need to reach Varesh before she opens the Mouth of Torment!"

Realm of Torment towns and outposts

"We can't give up now! It's not over yet. The Realm of Torment may be open, but Abaddon has not emerged. It's a long shot, but if we can re-bind Abaddon, we can still save Tyria!"

Throne of Secrets

"It's so much to take in. We succeeded, we destroyed a god, and we raised another in his place. What a responsibility it must be for Kormir, but I'm sure she will shoulder it well. I only hope that I can live up to her legacy here on Tyria."

Eye of the North

Far Shiverpeaks towns and outposts

"A-ahai, f-friend. F-forgive the shivers, I d-didn't know we'd be c-coming up north. I d-dressed for Kryta!

C-can anyone lend me a fur coat?"

Doomlore Shrine

"I can see why so many hate the Charr. They're brutal, effective and unsympathetic, and their shaman caste seems as evil as mortal creatures can be. They remind me a little of Kourna duing the war."

Central Transfer Chamber

"And so the fate of the world rests again with us. I am ready when you are."

Epilogue

"You have the spirit of a Norn, the cunning of a Charr and the wits of an Asura. I am proud to have served alongside you."

Quotes

Nightfall

Istan

"I'm concerned about the upswing in corsair activity. In my experience, things like that generally mean something big is about to happen."

"I will be so glad to have this Kournan delegation behind us. If I'm requested for one more martial display...sometimes it's almost as though we're being tested."

"We Sunspears have a lot of problems to deal with. Corsairs, skale, harpies, world politics..."

Kourna

"I will trust your judgment in this expedition. You lead, I shall follow."

"It's a dark time when a province of Elona openly conspires with demons. Things are going to get worse before they get better, I fear."

"This is the hardest experience of my life. I suppose that's no surprise. To have leadership thrust upon me in the midst of the Sunspears' darkest hour is a harsh situation to be in. I just wish we still had Kormir to lead us."

Vabbi

"I don't think I'll ever quite grasp how rich this country is. The nobles here can spend more money in a day than most people will ever see!"

"I'm so glad to have put Kourna behind us. It's a relief not to have to slink around all the time any longer."

"Varesh plans to march troops into Vabbi; I overheard a Kournan say so in Gandara. We need to work quickly." (before Warning Kehanni)

"Varesh's demons are everywhere! We mustn't stay in one place. The Sunspears are Tyria's last hope now." (after Warning Kehanni)

The Desolation

"Every second we waste brings us closer to Nightfall. Varesh could already be at the Mouth of Torment."

"I'm worried about how much we're helping Palawa Joko, but we don't have a choice. We need to focus on one threat at a time, and that means dealing with Varesh by any means necessary."

"These Junundu wurms are so empowering! I finally feel as though we stand a chance of victory."

Realm of Torment

"For all the horrors we are facing now, it is good to see Kormir once more."

"Sunspears, ready your breakfast and eat hard. Tonight we dine in Torment!"

"We were but a moment too late. Torment threatens to swallow the world, but we can't let this setback defeat us. It's not over until every Sunspear lies beaten on the ground!"

Eye of the North

Far Shiverpeaks

"Don't stop now. Movement keeps me warm."

"I've never actually seen snow before. It's very beautiful...but the less I have to touch it, the happier I'll be."

"Sometimes I get the feeling the Norn are laughing at me. It's not my fault it's so cold!"

Charr Homelands

"I feel for the Ebon Vanguard. It wasn't too long ago that I was in Captain Langmar's position."

"The Charr are cruel, merciless creatures, but I have to admire their tactical mastery. Don't look at me like that. Credit where credit is due."

"Trusting Pyre was a hard decision to make, but only he knows how to free the Vanguard. It's not the first uneasy truce I've made."

Battle quotes

"Bring them down!"

"Facing a Kirisu will always give you a good tale to tell your ancestors."

"For Kormir!"

"I do not fight alone!"

"Looks like I brought more soldiers than you did."

"Keep at it! We almost have them!"

"Spare those who surrender!"

"This is the Kirisu family sword. I'll let you two get acquainted."

"We shall return! ...Just kidding."

"You have no chance to defeat us!"

Trivia

• Keima is a Japanese term for a type of move in the board game Go, usually translated as knight's move in the West for its resemblance to the movement of a knight in Chess.
