Editing Tristan Cadence (section)

=== Early Life ===

Tristan was born the first child of Magnus Cadence and Laura Lyran. He was put through training to succeed at a Judgement. He completed his Judgement so successfully that a Whisper of Tenjin offered to give Tristan a rare Attunement and for Tristan to become a Whisper. Tristan agreed wishing to make the spires less lethal and better. At some point he becomes bitter and disillusioned learning about how the Tyrant in Gold doesn't control the entire world and begins to view the visages as tyrants themselves. As a Whisper of Tenjin, Tristan had to set up unfair test rooms that were designed to kill the climbers but he could not stand to keep watching on. Tristan begins to work with the Whispers of Wydd, the visage of forbidden knowledge. Tenjin allows Tristan to meet with Laura and Tristan gives her a book that allows for communication. At some point, a brand is placed on Tristan by Wydd to prevent him leaving the spire. Tristan has a mysterious backer supporting his goals. Tristan also managed to help capture Tenjin which gave him a degree of importance within the Ascension faction. The goal of the Ascension faction is to raise every person to be far stronger, not just those who survive a Judgement.
