General Vanneiros Norminde (Van-AIR-ohs Norr-MIHN-duh)
General Vanneiros Norminde (a.k.a. The Raven of Ashbreak)
Vanneiros Norminde is the legendary half-even general of Fort Ashbreak. He was born aboard the ARS Titan as it endured a catastrophic storm while crossing the Greydeep Sea. He joined the Martial Legion of Arkanmere after graduating with honors from Arkanehall University in Ferrostone in 1052 YGP. Despite his academic accomplishments, he was forced to enlist rather than becoming an officer, due to his ignoble blood. He steadily rose through the ranks and was eventually granted an officer's commission after news of his prowess reached King Arkan's ears. By the outbreak of the Meridian War, Vanneiros was widely recognized as one of Arkanmere's most capable soldiers. He first commanded the 17th Legion, then the 6th Army, during the war, rising to the rank of Major General. On the 29th of Thaw, 1104 YGP, Vanneiros was awarded the title of General and he was transferred to Fort Ashbreak to bolster Arkanmere's defenses along the Blightbreak River. After assuming command of Fort Ashbreak, he established his own noble house, House Norminde, and was granted the right to pass on his titles to his progeny through primogeniture by King Arkan Blightbane.
General Norminde appears to be quite young despite his age, due to the elven blood in him. Because of his dark hair and unsurpassed battlefield intellect, he is often simply called "The Raven," or "The Raven of Ashbreak."
