Gerfield Windslayer

Gerfield Windslayer

Gerfield Windslayer was a noble of Arboran who, unlike many of his kin, never sought the Eastern throne. This came from his father Hilger watching his own brother Arren die during the Moot. Instead, Gerfield played a more nuanced role during the political struggles of his family. While his cousins fought fiercely for power, Gerfield quietly aided both sides, navigating the conflict with calculated diplomacy. His son, Henry Windslayer, moved to Grigue in the Echose Marshlands, where he carved out a life in the shipping and trade business, connecting the mainland through vital economic ties. His daughter, Olkera, was married off to Ukerett Tevesh, a member of a historically hostile clan that had once fought bitter battles against the Windslayers but was now an uneasy ally. Gerfield's decisions shaped a legacy of cautious neutrality, forging alliances through subtlety rather than bloodshed.
