Elden Ring datamine explores merchant Kalé’s unused content that takes him to the very depths of Leyndell

He would begin a search for the Grand Caravan’s resting place, and the Tarnished were eventually supposed to meet him every now and then as they explored Liurnia, eventually making their way to Altus and then Leyndell.

His location shift would correspond with the discovery of missives from the Grand Caravan, carried by birds, which would allow the merchant to follow them around all throughout the Lands Between and set up shop in various places.
