RULER

Name: Borning
Class: Bear-Fighter
Background:
When Morne rebelled from the Imperium, undead hordes stampeded across the Ward River and Imperial troops were unable to stop them. In that dire hour, the bold and hardy woodsmen took up arms in defence of their homeland, but it would still have been for naught hadn't it been for Borning.
He came from the woods in great fury as a mighty bear and it is said that even the twisted hearts of dead were then filled with dread. The woodsmen took heart and charged, pushing the undead back and setting the Ward River as a stable border for many years.
They then chose Borning as their leader, one to dictate their great Moot; and although Borning rarely takes interests in the politics there, the long-lived bear-man opens the Moots to this day.

GENERALS

Name: Grimor Darthlon
Class: Castellan
Background:
Someone has to take care of the castle of Motgrad when the Moot is not in session and that man is Grimor. A hardy soldier of many years who has served both Motgrad and Belisaria and won many knightly tournaments, he is the best man to deal with the splendour the woodsmen are so unused to.

Name: Duldier the Minstrel
Class: Bard
Tier: Heroic
Background:
A young and carefree man, Duldier, born on the shores of Ward River, has seen to much already of the horrors that plague the silent woodland realm. Now, he travels the forest with his lyra, seeking to bring a bit of joy or reinforcement of heart into the dark everyday life of the woodsfolk.

STATUS

Goings-on:
Surprisingly, of all the mighty forces sent against the dark hordes of Darh Dorum, the strongest to hold was Motgrad. They fiercely defended their lands against the enemy onslaught and when all seemed lost, their clever plan of killing the enemy necromancers brought them a respite and allowed them to continue.
All this was in vain, though, for as murders of crows blotted out the sun, only more and more undead poured into the fray; soon, no living man was left standing, Harding One-Ear himself leading the heroic last stand, a thing you would not have expected from the so practical man. Motgrad will fall before the spring gathers.
