Ruler
Duke Elric Hawnspear is a grizzled, broad-shouldered noble with calloused hands and a quiet mind. Once a forester to a minor noble house, he rose through the ranks by loyalty, battle merit, and wisdom rather than politics. Known for working alongside druids and agricultural mages, he understands that a hungry people know no loyalty. Full bellies have become a staple of his rule. He is a popular ruler who favors simple truths and strong walls.
