King of Thronfeld
Grand Admiral Delthar
This is a slight upgrade to my previous iteration of these characters.
Grand Admiral Delthar was once the commander of the Vieran forces under King Toredenas during the Second Vieran Civil War. After King Toredenas was defeated and killed by his son Trohduil at the battle of the Sleeping Caverns (0AV), Delthar and what remained of his forces retreated to the island of Krükland. From the island, he and his troops terrorized the new King's regime until their losses were too great to continue fighting with Trohduil's loyalists. He grew a beard to signify his dishonour, an display that many Vieran would compare to death.
Delthar invested his energy into growing more powerful with magic. Troduil had won the war by discovering an ancient magic that allowed him to duplicate his finest warriors. Delthar did not know how he did this, but he spent centuries attempting to copy this magic so that he could reclaim Esterdame in the name of his former master. To survive, Delthar resorted to raiding the shorelines of the Far East, the Attonight Empire and Kalarocco.
The exiled Vieran dwell in the cliffside fortresses around the Porcupine shore, which got it's name for the volleys of arrows that penetrate the armour of anyone who lands on the beach. On the far eastern tip of Krükland is the legendary prison of the Black Mountain. Thousands of helpless captives have disappeared into the mountain and never been seen again. Legend has it that these captives are being used in endless experiments conducted by Vieran sorcerers under the guidance of the mysterious Threndaugar.
Delthar is a capable swordsman and sorcerer, and he has mastered the weapon of fear. He never engages an enemy that he has not already worn down psychologically. He is a legendary figure in the history of Esterdame, but his influence is almost insignificant. The bulk of his army is Krük warriors that fear sea travel, so his full mobile strength in in the low thousands at most. The Young King has been advised to focus on the bigger threats to his reign at present.
