Eres Tereneth
Constable Eres Tereneth
Constable Eres is a robust and jolly widower of middle years, said to keep one of the finer tables and cellars in Meselyne. He hosts frequent hunting parties that are always well attended by the local nobility. His current mistress, Wilia of Margant, is the daughter of a vassal lord and young enough to be his own daughter. She is an outrageous flirt but loyal to Sir Eres.
The merry atmosphere of the constable’s court has been disturbed by his son. Once a fine jouster and a popular ladies’ champion, Sir Miren recently returned from the Solori Crusades on the Melderyni frontier a changed man. He avoids his father’s festivities, preferring long solitary rides through the countryside. Sir Eres neither understands nor approves of the change in his son.
Recently, a series of horrific murders
has jolted the constable into action. Every
month for the past year, at least one
individual has disappeared from a nearby
village. Bodies are found with the liver,
lungs, and heart absent. Rumors of a maneating wolf or even a lycanthrope
have terrified the community
and strained relations with the
Taelda. There is hushed gossip
in the local inns of an even
fouler, more ancient entity. Sir
Eres has asked the Bailiff of
Allence Hundred at Dabell to
investigate and resolve the problem
