Lord Corren Asheville

Lord Corren is a wealthy nobleman who owns a large swath of land outside of Zentawen including valleys that hold small settlements and cave that hold precious minerals and metals.   Lord Corren is somewhat of a populist pretender, he has been angling for a more sunstantial role in court despite not having to noble lineage to back it up. He is howeververy well connected to the powers of the common person and is able to speak in their rhetoric, he makes people feel seen and heard but only when it serves his own needs.   He initially attempts to court Princess Mauricia who wanted to marry him to secure his land and he wanted to embolden his status. But after their proposal is pushed back by King Arvid he begins a different tactic of publically outcrying his policies as cruel and unjust. This is partly to pressure Avrid into agreeing to the marriage but also because he would like to carve out the throne for himself and knows that with enough public outcry he may just be deposed. For the people of Gand they begin to see him as a savior but in reality he is also working with the Brotherhood of Tarn to secure power crystals to power machinery to tap the mines.   He has know Mauricia for a long time asthey both attended the College of Wintrow in many ways he looks down on her where he is clever, charismatic and theatrical shei often seen as cold and pragmatic to a fault. With the launch of his new campaign he goes out of his way to demean her and humilliate her before the The Royal Court with the intention of breaking her down and trapping her to have no other option than him.   Lord Corren is effective and clever, he knows how peole tick and how to make them tick for him but he lacks substance and makes promises he can’t keep.
