General Franklaan Treadstone
General Franklaan "Citybreaker" Treadstone, earned his reputation when he subjugated the City of Sweetwater with a small force that was a quarter of the size of the city's defenders. He led a daring offensive where he utilized a "special operations" force consisting of a powerful spellcaster and martial masters to infiltrate the city and blow up populated buildings across the city and in the chaos and while the defender's attention was on the uncontrolled fires burning entire districts, the force's Druid snuck into the gatehouse by wildshaping and overwhelmed the guards in order to lower the gate and allow the bulk of the General's forces into the city where the City's ruler, Lady Jaena McRedden quickly surrendered. The General was left to decide the fate of the city, and upon hearing the counsel of then Lady Myrill Faeren, who was the Duke's daughter and co-led the campaign to retake the city, the General agreed to offer Lady McRedden a choice: she could either marry the General, ceding most of her authority to him and ending her family name or be publically executed and borne as a standard as the force (now far larger as the city's defenders had joined the Duchy's campaign) continued to fight on behald of King Valdra and the Council of Branches in the War for Life. The Lady agreed to be wed to the "Citybreaker" and is currently ruling over the city in her husband's stead while her husband has been called to advise the now Duchess Faeren on military matters as the realm is teetering on the brink of war with the destruction of the Council of Branches and the abdication of King Valdra. He and the Lady are also expecting their first child to be born in the coming months.
