Haldare Venera

Constable Haldare Venera

Sir Haldare Venera,Constable of Caer Elend, administers the city of Tashal in the king’s absence. The constable is fanatically loyal to King Miginath and works tirelessly to ensure the city retains its reputation for justice and prosperity. He communicates regularly with the Aldermanic Council, the Mangai, and the temples; his natural charisma ensures undisputed authority. Originally a landless mercenary knight, Sir Haldare won his office by proving his courage and leadership during the Royal Chelebin Tourney in 714, where he was crowned Champion of the Melee. Sir Haldare is a close friend and sparring partner of Marshal Koris Harabor. Some whisper this relationship implies support for the Harabors in any future struggle for the throne. Sir Haldare is ambitious and, like all bachelor knights, listens to any proposals that might include large grants of land. If asked, he states he will support whomever is chosen by Clan Elendsa’s succession council. The only stain on Sir Haldare’s storied past is an ongoing feud with Sir Romlach Ethasiel, the heir to the Baron of Setrew’s estates. The baron’s son is one of the most dangerous knights in the kingdom but Sir Haldare has vowed to see justice done. The city watch is made up of a mercenary company of light foot employed by Sir Haldare and a squadron of knights provided by the Sheriff of Semeth. Two to four companies of the Low Guard at Caer Elend can be called upon in an emergency. The Sheriff of Semeth and the Marshal of the Royal Guard are cousins but do not enjoy a high level of mutual trust.
