Introduction

I am glad you decided to join us. I hesitate to call you 'Exile,' for we are all exiles in this foreign land. As the King's Hand, I serve as Treasurer of Kingsmarch. Come to me for all financial and resource management matters.

Abilities

You don't appear to employ the power of runes, like we Kalguurans do. I am very curious how you accomplished what you did. I see that you have upon your person one of those so-called 'virtue gems,' but Nessa allowed me to borrow one, and it did nothing as far as I could determine.

Kingsmarch

Several of our people were already here in Wraeclast, undertaking expeditions of their own. When their outpost reached a certain size, the King, in his great wisdom, gifted them an official charter-and a name. I was sent to aid in the execution and management of that charter. I serve as the King's Hand.

Home

I am from Kalguur, on the continent of Middengard. We have reached Wraeclast by ship. The journey was quite long, and quite dangerous. Eventually, we may be able to open trade with Kalguur, but for now, we're on our own.

The King

A reckoning is coming, have no doubt about that. The King has his eye on Wraeclast, and he lays far-reaching plans. Only time will tell...

Loyalties

I make no secret that I am a man of two loyalties. I must serve the King's wishes, and I must also serve this Charter to the letter of the law. I am aware that Kingsmarch is a destination for many that would be considered... less than upstanding citizens. So long as I directly see no evidence of crime, sedition, or another rebellion, there is no conflict of interest. Kindly do not discuss your thoughts in my presence.

The Tavern

I choose not to waste resources on a gilded office. It is here, in the Tavern, where drink and loose talk best meet. My presence may, hopefully, keep any dangerous talk to the shadows... where it belongs.
