Sir Haren
Harenland's Hero
Sir Haren Wheatsfield of Fleuvevory (a.k.a. Scholar Renworth)
Unflinching dedication towards justice for the working man;Born nothing but a simple farmer in the small village of Fleuvevory, Sir Haren Wheatsfield experienced firsthand the hardships of the working man in rural counties of the Hinsor Empire. Seeking self-betterment, Sir Haren dedicated himself to the throne by becoming one of the Knights of Yaosing; rising in the ranks of the Brotherhood of Unity despite his birth to become Sub-commander of Fort Loscin, holding the southern border against possible Elven excursions from Turcosia with the rest of the Turcten Defense Force. However, Sir Haren's exposure to courtiers in Signe during his training, only exacerbated his anger towards the treatment of the peasantry, leading him to write the political pamphlet The Rights of Working Men, which heavily criticized the Hinsor Empire's reliance on the feudal system and argued for land-owning rights for farmers, among other things. The pamphlet was published under a pseudonym, Scholar Renworth, and received wide distribution and readership. Unfortunately, Working Men's inflammatory tone hit a nerve among the aristocracy, resulting in a decree for the arrest of Scholar Renworth for treason and conspiracy against the crown by General Daeller. Rather than argue his case before the Emperor of Hinsor, Sir Haren chose to flee his post and go into hiding, taking many like-minded knights with him, including Sir Ardran Enth'er. Together, they built Fort Martelion in the foothills of the Nyimrak Mountains and founded the The Farmers' Militia, an armed rebellion movement. Despite their defection, the Battle of Melkin's Pass, and the Brotherhood of Unity's quick disavowment, The Farmers' Militia was not viewed as any real threat by the Empire until the Seige of Broret and their successful recruitment of the Wandering Mage Vorold. A harsh winter made Melkin's Pass impossible to traverse, allowing Sir Haren time to establish training for the Farmers' Regulars, a ragtag bunch of former miners and farmhands from Broret who volunteered. Instead of being intimidated by being declared an "enemy of the throne," Sir Haren plotted out The First Ford, an incredibly ambitious campaign into the heart of Hinsor in an attempt to win--and hold--the Surama River as a defensive border in the hopes of rallying the farmers behind it. The Ford did lead the Militia to some auspicious victories, such as the Commandeering of Cathaer's Watch on Toren's Road, cutting off supplies and reinforcements for Signe. Unfortunately, the plan was too ambitious, and the Militia suffered their first defeat at the Battle for Ryoichira's Gate, where Sir Haren was badly wounded and later captured while retreating by Captain Lyrufe Iesso.
