Biography & Lore
- had great plans to leave the valen wilds and study, but a death in the family prevented it all in the end
- with his sister ruling over Saarniala, he occupied his time until now by keeping guard and going after her enemies
- only recently acquired Stenfors Keep, by conquest
About Stenfors
- the keep is a small castle on a steep cliff, surrounded by a settlement that formed next to rocky rapids and meandering little streams
- this has allowed a lot of waterpowered infrastructure, incl. mills and mines
- the area is easily traversed by a system of bridges and ferries the maintenance of which employs people the entire year around
- the scattered community, largely agrarian despite an amount of industry, communicates over distances by lantern patterns and signal fires
