Haven's Guard
The Haven’s Guard is a mercenary company commanded by Sir Anathar Havengard and his daughter Daria. They are based in Barwych and have a good reputation for reliable service at reasonable prices.
The name Havengard began with their ancestor who, in one of the last skirmishes against the Goblinoids during the Second Witching War, managed to defend the small logging village of Haven in the northern reaches of Ostralm. Ulrich Cadesone was an aging sergeant in the service of the Summerlund military and managed to defend the town with a half dozen seasoned soldiers and over 50 rag tag militia. After the war was over, Ulrich had lost his own hometown, so he decided to return to Haven for his retirement. Upon returning, he was lauded as a hero and given the title “Haven’s Guard”. Everyone always referred to him as Ulrich Havenguard. Over time it essentially replaced the family name of Cadeson. Over the generations, particularly after some of his ancestors moved away from Haven, the name was corrupted to Havengard.
Nearly all children in the line of Havengard have been raised on the story of Ulrich and the saving of Haven. While a number of them have been in the Summerlund Army in one form or another, only Sir Anathar Havengard brought the name into the ranks of the nobility of Summerlund and continues to do so as the leader or Haven’s Guard.
Haven’s Guard currently has three different teams that can currently be employed.
The first squad tends to specialize in escort and bodyguard quests. It is lead by Daria Havengard, a Summerling Fighter that specializes in tactics and arcane knowledge. The other members are: Seth Bladeflurry, a Human dual weapon Fighter of dubious parentage, Wardos Fiercemane, a young Dwarf Cleric of Humardin Broadshield, Rae Longshot, Elf a Ranger specializing in archery; Sasha Shadowfen, a Halfling Rogue skilled in stealth, scouting, and sniping; Cale Woodjaunt, a Kalrentai Ranger who works with trained animals.
The second squad is particularly skilled at cleaning out nests of monsters and lairs of bandits. It is led by Ellandis Gildenlink, Half-Elf Paladin to Rishtathis. Other members are: Rend Sterntower, immovable veteran Half-Orc Fighter. Elena Olesrad, a Summerling Warlord skilled with longbows. Thelisen Blasthand, a impulsive, but talented Eladrin War Wizard. Aleksander Blakhart, Summerling Ranger and his pet Wolf Kels.
The third and final squad is skilled in dealing with magic phenomena and similar situations. Jelisk Firesong, Tiefling Bard is the leader. Other members include Adesha, Dragonborn Fire Sorceress. Olerik Earthhome, elderly Dwarf Psionic Knight. Ellis Glimmerflick, Gnome Illusionist. Zarl Greyholme, Summerling Fighter. Elia Greyholme, Kalrentai Rogue.
