Edmun

Duke Edmun Dragonsbane is the ruler of Gransys. Born into soldiery, in his youth he became an Arisen and set out together with a party of pawns to conquer The Dragon that had been terrorizing the land.

Soon the threat from the Dragon was dispelled and Edmun returned to Gran Soren a hero, credited with its dispatch. Not long after, he was crowned Duke on the wave of approval arising from his deeds.

He then ruled Gransys for many years, seemingly aging little. Though he had many wives, he had no heir, and no family of his was known to be alive.

It was eventually revealed that Edmun had not actually slain a dragon, but in truth had accepted its bargain and sacrificed his beloved in exchange for power sufficient to sate any desire. With his own heart in the Dragon's safekeeping, he was granted almost perpetual life.

Clothing: Edmun wears a Set of Duke's Clothing, a long red and blue tunic with a lions fur over his shoulder and a cape matching the rest of his outfit, holding the cape and fur in place is a gold buckle in the shape of a lion's head. Edmun carries a Crossed Cinquedea.

Appearance: Edmun is Tall, muscular, had long reddish brow hair and plenty of facial hair with a full facial beard. Though he is technically immortal and does not age, he looks around 50, with his actual age being over 70. His body is hairy and scarred.

Personality: Edmun pretends to be a just and gracious ruler, but underneath his boastful, lion-like attitude, he's greedy, manipulative and a liar. When another arisen makes themselves known to Edmun, he subtly humiliates them under the guise of humor, and emphasizes to move against the dragon is to conspire to move against him without his permission. Edmun stands by his decision to give up his beloved for his seat of power and desperately claws for any way to maintain his comfort, no sacrifice is too great. He knows full well that killing the dragon will return the years he hadn't aged for, and the idea scares him. So he'll dissuade anyone trying to kill the dragon.

Edmun is very skilled in brute-ish swordplay.

Originally just another soldier, one day Edmun awoke as an Arisen. Perhaps it was coincidence, perhaps fate, but just days later, a dragon attacked Gransys. Fulfilling his role as an Arisen, Edmun enlisted a number of pawns and set out to face the dragon. The epic battle that followed would be celebrated in song for generations to come, for unlike so many before him, Edmun triumphed over the wyrm. Slaying an evil dragon—in all of recorded history, there was only one other who had achieved this miraculous feat: the great unifier, Godking Leonart. Yet now, Edmun too had supposedly defeated a dragon. With everyone singing his praises, plus the support of the noble Gildas who had long been his ally, Edmun was propelled into the heart of government on an overwhelming wave of support.

A number of years passed. When the former duke fell ill and passed away childless, Edmun was selected as his successor. None contested his appointment to the position of duke for he was one of only two men to ever successfully complete a Wyrm Hunt. To refute him was to refute Leonart, the very father of their nation.

Having been appointed duke, Edmun took the name “Wyrmking” for himself. This title, a reminder of his victory over the dragon, was happily accepted by the people. Under the rule of Wyrmking Edmun, Gransys has seen a long period of peace and Edmun, with seemingly inexhaustible youth, remains hale and healthy to this day. Respected ruler of all Gransys. In his youth, he was dubbed a hero when he repelled the dragon. For that, he was also given the name Dragonsbane."
