Duke Richard Runeshire
Duke Richard Runeshire is the current pragmatic ruler of Runeshire, known more for his diplomatic prowess than martial skill. A shrewd and etiquette-driven leader, he inherited these traits from his mother, Eleanor Runeshire. His marriage to Duchess Mary Runeshire of House Brittlewood was a strategic alliance, solidifying crucial ties between their noble houses rather than a union of pure affection.
During Hell's Siege on Runeshire, Duke Richard was absent, attending negotiations in Brittlewood. While some citizens perceived this as an act of cowardice, he viewed it as a logical, tactical decision, recognizing his lack of warrior experience would be a liability in direct combat. He generally governs from a fair, middle-of-the-road perspective, earning him the respect of the upper-middle class and business owners. Though some of the poorer citizens might find him distant, it is widely understood that Duke Richard deeply cherishes Runeshire and is committed to defending its citizens, albeit primarily through political and diplomatic means rather than on the battlefield.
