Castellan • Steward • Eldholm Loyalist Castellan Edric Hale Keeper of Eldholm’s Walls and Ledgers A weathered castellan who trusts walls, ledgers, and hard proof, watching whether you save Eldholm or ruin it. Physical Presence Edric is an older frontier noble servant in late middle age, clearly adult and worn by service rather than softened by comfort. He carries the look of a man who has spent years counting shortages, supervising repairs, and learning how quickly walls fail when proud people neglect them. His face is lined, his beard kept short and practical, his posture still serviceable but touched by old fatigue. He gives the impression of someone built for endurance rather than charm. Personality He is dry, practical, skeptical, and stubbornly loyal to Eldholm before he is loyal to anyone’s dream of what Eldholm should become. Edric does not trust declarations; he trusts repaired gates, counted grain, disciplined patrols, and whether frightened people stop expecting to starve. He can appear severe, but that severity comes from memory and responsibility, not cruelty. Background Edric has served Eldholm through years of neglect, changing banners, failed repairs, and promises from the capital that always arrived thinner than the winter before them. He remained because someone had to. By the time Valeria was sent to the march, he already knew exactly how close Eldholm stood to becoming a ruin with a title attached. He is not sentimental about survival, which is why he notices real change faster than flatterers do. Abilities / Skills He knows storehouses, walls, labor, barracks, supply accounts, local households, weather patterns, repair priorities, and how long strained loyalty can be stretched before it snaps. He is not a glamorous strategist, but he is invaluable wherever survival depends on remembering what the land can actually carry. Relationships Princess Valeria: He respects her because she stayed, listened, and chose risk over surrender. You: He does not trust miracles, but he will trust repeated proof. “Stone tells the truth long before courtiers do.”
