Baroness Karnya Valasvata

Wolfsward Province, Duchy of Tenh

Human (Flan) • Fighter 8 (Battlemaster) • Neutral Good

Baroness Karnya Valasvata was born during a blizzard in a fortified cliff village above the Clouded Road. Her rise from garrison commander to baroness came after she routed a bandit company twice her size during the Long Winter Siege. Known for her tactical brilliance, Coldwell’s militias respect her not just for victories, but for ensuring their survival in brutal terrain.

Karnya is direct, rarely indulging in formality. Her speech mixes sharp wit with hardened realism. She’s favored by mountain folk and miners alike, though her alliance with Calbut’s mining guilds makes her politically cautious. She dislikes cowardice but respects cunning, and her barony’s insignia — a rampant silver raven perched on a white crag — reflects her belief in clear-sighted vigilance.
