Veyran Duskhand
Veyran Duskhand (Human Raider-Chief) – Once a soldier of Tibur, now the Dominion’s master of cavalry and raptor-mounted warfare. A scarred veteran, pragmatic but fiercely loyal to the dream of sovereignty.
Veyran Duskhand – The Oathbreaker General
Race: Human
Role: Master of Cavalry & Raiders
Traits: Pragmatic, scarred, disciplined
Backstory Once a decorated captain in the Tibur legions, Veyran earned the name Duskhand for leading night-raids that slaughtered enemy camps in silence. But his loyalty snapped during the Reed-Fort Wars. His superiors ordered him to torch swamp villages filled with children and the elderly. He refused, struck down his commanding officer, and fled into the mire.
He might have been hunted to death if not for Sskarl Bloodtongue. The lizardman spared him, recognizing his skill. Veyran, hardened by guilt, became the Dominion’s chief of discipline. He trained raptor cavalry and swamp horsemen into terrifying raiding bands.
Personality Though human, the Mireborn respect him for one reason: he never lies. To him, oaths are sacred currency. His word carries as much weight as any dragon’s roar.
Veyran Duskhand – The Lantern of the Drowned
Appearance: A dented bronze lantern, always burning with black-green flame that cannot be extinguished by water.
Legend: Taken from an Tibur commander he executed during his desertion. The lantern was cursed in the swamp and now carries spectral flame.
Powers:
Silent Muster: While the lantern burns, riders under Veyran’s command move in silence, their mounts making no sound in swamp or reed.
Drowned Light: Reveals hidden enemies within shadows, reeds, or water.
Legion’s Rest: If planted in the mire, fallen Mireborn within 50 paces rise as spectral warriors for one night.
