Baron Thendric Varengar

Wolfsward Province, Duchy of Tenh

Human (Flan) • Fighter 9 Champion archetype • Lawful Neutral

Baron Thendric Varengar is a stoic warlord of the old blood — a veteran of dozens of border skirmishes and battles against raiding giants and northern tribes. His weathered face bears the marks of countless campaigns, and his silent presence commands respect among the soldiery. Born the son of a minor noble, he was elevated after leading a decisive defense at Thunder Pass, earning the Duke’s trust and the baronial seat of Wolfsward.

Unlike many nobles, Thendric prefers the field to courtly intrigue. He rarely leaves his lands, believing strength must be seen to be respected. Though blunt and unsentimental, his people respect his iron discipline and fairness. He trusts only a few — chief among them Castellan Drogan of Stonewatch — and maintains strict loyalty to Duke Elyeh III.

His colors are deep green and steel grey, with red ochre detailing — evoking the mountains and blood shed to defend them. His personal emblem is a broken horn set against a stone tower.
