The Young Lord

Early Life

Demetrius was raised in the town of Five Pillars by his father Olgen Hammerhand, a kensofar dwarf of mediocre repute as a weaponsmith and blacksmith.

Description

Demetrius is a sturdy dwarf, now much younger in appearance than when he ventured top world. He is barrel chested with strong arms. His body once covered in scars and tattoos, is now perfect due to his being wished back to life. The fervent scheming once visible in his sharp eyes, has been replaced by a forlorn and dour expression. The absence of all his worldly possessions has changed his resolve from one of boldness to one of reservation.

Personality

Known as a dwarf's dwarf, Demetrius is a rough and tumble fighter who's not afraid to stick his nose in other people's business. He's been known to mix it up with friend and foe alike. His biting sense of humor goes over the head of most common men. While not entertaining dragons with his masterful gymnastics, Demetrius is most likely tending to his griffon, Gurelion, who is the only friend who's never left him. Demetrius has a soft spot for his traveling companions and considers them his family.

Faith

Demetrius officially converted to Mandadorianism on September 11th, 873, under the hand of Bishop Nikolos

Followers

Agerik Essphilon, 6th level neutral human Encyclonian fighter, Captain of Blackstone Infantry, second officer of Blackstone, former spantharios of the Savanfannetsen Army

Agerik is a former retainer for Baron Sastor of the Savanfannetsen, he rose with his baron in the army of Count Passalos. After Sastor's death in battle against the Muelestrian general Angar, Agerik was named Baronet of Essphilon in Sastor's place, and named a comital spathariosunder Passalos. After the disastrous Battle of Amalos in 872 against the rebellion of the Baromite Kingdom, Agerik abandoned the Savanfannetsen army for a time to explore private adventures. Whetting his appetite for treasures only to have his adventuring party collapse due to deaths and abandonment, Agerik returned to Passalos' dissolute and unpaid army, and took the remnants of Essphilon's Second Column back to Essphilon. Finding Sastor's brother having assumed the baronial title, and unwelcoming and unable to pay to returning imperial soldiers, Agerik heard of Demetrius' accomplishments and wealth in the Furnorkanasos, and boldly marched his soldiers to Castle Blackstone
