Virdin Bloodfeathers
King Virdin Bloodfeathers
Virdin Bloodfeathers was the thirteenth king of Damara, and the last of his line. He became King of Damara in DR 1343. Gaining the throne after Feldrin III abdicated after the Goblinblood Wars. Virdin was a strong leader during the Wars and helped the people of Damara push back the goblin hordes raining down from the Galena Mountains.
Soon after, the threat turned to Zhengyi the Witch-King, and while Virdin was able to hold the line against Zhengyi again and again, the lich slowly made progress.
King Virdin led the Damaran armies against those of Zhengyi the Witch-King, but was defeated at the Ford of Goliad when he was tricked into believing that a magic wand would enable his army to cross the Goliad River. It is widely believed in Damara that he was betrayed by Felix, his own chief lieutenant, but Zhengyi was waiting for Virdin to make this mistake, and inflicted a thorough defeat upon the Damaran army while they were helpless in the river. Virdin was on a nearby hill watching these events unfold when he was assassinated by a dagger. It is believed that Felix was also responsible for this act.
